The art direction of this game is sensational!

the music is peak and varied, gameplay gives a bit of a challenge for a turn based veteran like me, and there's still plenty of humour and light-hearted moments in a game full of melancholy, sadness, and struggles.

I can understand it's not for everyone though, the parry system is quite a bit tricky to get a good timing.

Hi! I have had two strokes and the mobility issues that come from that. There’s a story mode with greatly increased timing windows that helped a lot.

You need to play this.

It is profound.

From what I'm seeing around, it's really starting to sound like the exact kind of hard that I can't do. I had hopes that it was normal turn-based because I can do those games, but I wound up installing a god mod so I could play through the Witcher 3 on easy.

I was already dealing with a tumor in my thalamus, then got t-boned by a SUV, cracked my skull, had a brain bleed, and the whiplash gave my neck bone spurs that are compressing my spinal cord. It's like my brain/body connection is dropping packets, and it's so incredibly frustrating lol.

Even if you can't play the game, watching a 100% playthrough with no commentary is worth it. The story is easily the best part of the game.

At least, in my opinion.

I am sorry to hear that. There are quite a few mods that further modify the parry and dodge windows making them way more forgiving.

For the story alone I can totally recommend it and you still get quite engrossed in the scenery.

And I also never perfectly dodged or parried everything so maybe that helps as a reference point. Sometimes I really had to learn to expect what was coming.
