Graphics

The backdrop and narrative is very interesting and well-written, and together with the game's visuals they paint a beautiful narrative landscape, and a world to explore.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
- Awfully optimized: can't reach 60 FPS on medium settings when Witcher 3 runs better on High settings looking about a billion times better than this
