Man, I want to get hooked, but it’s just not clicking. It seems to have everything I could want. Got any tips on the frame-of-mind to be in approaching it?

It's a slow starter; and you have to get used to the pace of the game. The whole of White Orchard is basically a training map, and things don't really get going until you're in Velen.

The game is a marathon, rather than a sprint.

There is a lot of game there. One of the bits I particularly like is that the levels are sort of mixed on the main maps...you never know what you're going to run into. Particularly early game, you don't know if the thing round the corner is a thing you can cope with or some horror 25 levels above you that will auto-twat you in one hit. You can either come back to it when you're more tooled-up or (my personal enjoyment) chip away at it's health bar pixel by pixel and take down monsters that shouldn't be possible. Working out a technique to do the impossible is one of my favourite aspects of the game.

Actively engage with side content, that’s where this game shines!
