I must be the 1 in a million whose not overly >enthralled with it. Keep at it. One review described the Witcher 3 as "a slow boil", and I think that's fairly accurate. The start of the game is very slow. I didn't start getting interested until at least five hours into the game, and didn't start LIKING it until maybe 15 or 20. The game takes its time - arguably, it takes too much time - setting up the characters and story but the I think the payoff is worth it. At least, if you like story and character and that sort of stuff. If you are just in it for hack-n-slash, the game will disappoint. The combat never gets any better and was something I merely "endured" right to the end.
