"You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" (www.gamesradar.com)

For real, the battle mechanics are just so clunky and slow. And the magic is just 5 times the same spell but with different colors.

Not to mention that you are shoehorned into a character that you don't get to decide, and the NPCs laugh at you if you choose dialogue options that don't fit this characters mold.

Rather play an actual RPG than this action adventure akin to Tomb Raider.
