I mean Witcher 3 may have been great at the time of its release, and certainly has some imaginative stories and missions, but it's still an average open world game as such with middling combat and sometimes clunky gameplay. Tons of repetition (go here, get misssion, loot, kill someone, loot, come back and get rewards, loot...repeat) and too much dialogues all the time and too long.

In the sea of open world games, its just average.

Edit: Oh and speaking of CDPR, Cyberpunk 2077 is not so great either. And open world game with cars, and its literally so boring to drive in it (even Watch Dogs 1/2 had more engaging driving). The only thing it gets decent is the novelty of a rather well made futuristic city. Rest of the game is meh. Story is OK. Even Keanu's appearance in it was meh. They started making off a 3rd person game, and ended up delivering a half baked and again average-ish game.

Edit2: I know most of you love Witcher3. I don't. Just shared my opinion.
