Still top of the class
What is there to say about this game? It's brilliant.
Some people don't care for the combat - that's fair, though I have no problems with it.
Some people say the first 10ish hours (before you meet the Emperor) are slow - they are meant to be an extended tutorial - rush through that area if you want more story and come back later to do side quests. Once you finish the Griffin contract, the story picks up.
Take your time, explore, there are many hidden quests and treasures.
Best adventure rpg of the last decade, only Larian competes with CDPR these days and they happily share fans.
