So I love Witcher 3 and I'll say the game does a massive disservice to newcomers by leading with Velen and then expecting you to do the Bloody Baron storyline (which is...divisive to say the least) first when the game opens up. That is not where all the best writing is and the other two main objectives (Novigrad and Skellige) are a lot more interesting and fun, and also have better sidequests. But maybe you got there and still feel that way and this is moot.

I had played the first two games so when I played 3 I went straight to Novigrad to see all the returning characters and it honestly did wonders for the pacing imo.

I'm in Skellige now. I'm still playing but mostly because it's a pandemic and I'm unemployed, tbh. If I actually had a job/responsibilities/other games in my backlog I probably would've dropped it.

There's not really anything wrong with the story/writing; compared to other wrpg's it's like literature, to be honest. I just don't get sucked in. Some quests are certainly more interesting than others but the plot's conflict is too slight currently. The game hasn't really made me care about Ciri or the Wild Hunt but expects me to?

Anyway, not to derail the thread. I'll echo the earlier posters who praise infamous and Spider-Man PS4. Not a huge open world and fun movement. Strong narrative that isn't overwhelmed by side quests.
