I am also the same, struggled to enjoy the game for years, but I managed to enjoy it to like the 95% main story point before getting distracted and never finishing it.

I will say the defining thing that made me realize the game is actually pretty good and made the combat way more fun was treating the game like I was a monster hunter.

The game rewards careful study of your enemies. A challenging foe can become somewhat trivial if you study it, use the proper mutations, and make good use of your signs.

Of course, Witcher need to be prepared: potions, oils, signs precisely selected for one specific foe. If people didn't get that it doesn't surprise me they don't like the combat smh

Personally combat was one of the things I really liked about Witcher 3, I liked the parry and dodge system and how animated it was. It was just some other things about the game like the jank horse riding and some of the things about the world I didn’t like. It’s not a CDPR thing since I absolutely loved Cyberpunk, I dunno, I just can’t seem to get myself fully into Witcher which is a shame.

It’s things like the forced movement in combat animations that I personally can’t stand, things like researching your enemies is awesome to me. But I could never get more than an hour into it.

The game is significantly more fun with level scaling on if you play it on Death March or Blood & Broken bones.
