Arcane
I don't know if it was mentioned, but the UI is something to behold, just my 2 eurocents:
1) Menus, inventory etc. is the same kind of Eldritch maze as before, except it's even worse this time. It's like navigating in the Overlook Hotel. I'm relying on muscle memory from Witcher 3 and I still to have to stumble several times through the menus to get what I want (or not). On top of that the controls are just arcane, there's no option to remap/see them in "controls" settings. I had to google how I can change the vehicle, after looking for garages, keys to the bike in the inventory, etc. only to learn that I have to press V button for several seconds. You have by default all those useless "hints" on screen all the time, like R IS FOR RELOAD, and they didn't bother to give even one line to communicate that. Maybe I'm a dumbfuck and missed something, but the fact that after one hour you can't intuitively navigate through the game is a sign there's something wrong.
2) UI and general graphics during gameplay is an absolute clusterfuck. There is so much shit on your screen you don't know what to look at, either in terms of UI which is all over the place in different colors, or in-game environment with dozens of sources of light all over the place. I literally paused a couple of times only to close my eyes and think what the fuck is going on there. Bonus points for throwing almost all of the cancerous trends like Motion Blur, "cinematic" film grain effect etc., only shy of black bars. The epilepsy warning isn't played for laughs. This game would literally erase Kurt Eichenwald's psyche, so I guess there's at least one positive.
3) I have a screen that is covering the majority of my vision, and yet I feel like I'm playing Torment on a 5 inches iPhone. All of the background infodumps like TVs in elevators, NPCs conversations etc. have this tiny ass font, that I have to lean and squint to see clearly. Sometimes there are 2 conversations going at the same time on top of other things like distorted electronic music, so it's not like you can 100% do without it.
