My first attempt didn't go well either but I am glad I gave it a second chance. Once it starts winning you over, it is really good.
The fighting system is pretty old-school but once you get used to it, it is quite fun. It is very authentic to how Geralt is fighting in the Witcher books. It is simply more about rhythm and tactics than one might be used to.
Just because Witcher 1 is kind of hard to recommend for a casual gamer in 2022, does not mean it is garbage. It is just different. It just has more of a niche appeal.
I am absolutely glad I got to play the original and some of its charm are the things are probably going to be modernized away in the remake.
