Forgive my ignorance, but is the netflix show based off of it?
Both the Witcher games and Netflix show are based off of a series of Polish novels. The show is not connected to the game.

The game is a lot like Mass Effect in that, yes, there is a lot of combat but neither series does that particular aspect very well. I think it comes down to expectations. It's a story based RPG first and a third person action game second. If you go in looking for Devil May Cry or Dark Souls you're going to be disappointed. To me, the game was at it's best when I was out exploring the world, interacting with interesting characters and getting wrapped up in the story. I didn't feel the combat got in the way of that.

I played all three back to back. The third is completely unrecognizable from the first.
