Bioware must be sighing in relief with Awoked taking the all the flak for them.
Is the game actually bad or is it just the one arts guy freaking out? Because I don't give a shit what some lunatic is saying on X.

The red skull enemies in Witcher 3 are basically off-limits because they regenerate their lost health in a matter of seconds.
You can cheese 'em. I remember killing several golems that were red skulled.
I remember killing a gryphon that was like 15 levels higher than my Geralt. I found it while exploring those small islands near Skellige (tried to squeeze as much content from W3 as possible).

The battle was like something from Dark Souls, since every hit from the gryphon took about 1/2 of my health bar, so I had to evade as much as possible while searching for openings to land some strikes. Took me like 15 minutes and all of my bombs to kill this motherfucker, but I did it. Probably my most memorable combat from this game.
Good for you.
It's still shit game design.
All of this combat can still occur without having a level-based system that is signalled to the player

Keep the high level enemy, just remove the fucking floating number above its head
