If CD Projekt Red’s The Witcher franchise had ended with The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, there may not have been many fans who kept it around in their memory. However, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is celebrated as an open-world action-RPG with extensive dialogue branches, elaborate alchemy and crafting mechanics, and seemingly infinite points of interest signified by question marks on the map. These features are comprehensive, but if there is one that does not excel quite as greatly, it is The Witcher 3’s combat. Instead, The Witcher 4 could consider Soulslike combat.
