I've been revisiting anno 2205, infamously the ugly duckling of the Anno series of RTS games. I don't mind so much the fact that it's different, lacks customisation and random map generation - I'm bothered because the game is so slow to progress through on challenge settings, and it feels like a game designed just to artificially waste your time; in other anno games, you can always pull tricks to dig yourself out of economic crisis - selling off assets and surplus goods, completing quests for other parties, or taking loans. 2205 is very very confined in terms of what you can do to financially recover in the early game and forces you into a lot of military events.

I always dislike The Witcher 3. As many times as I tried to like it as many reviews as I read that it was amazing. Dear God the controls sucked and I hated that game. No matter how many times I try it.

Man I first tried seriously to get into Witcher 3 after playing MGS5 and it was like being dropped into janky molasses. Don't get me wrong, MGS5 has an awful story, obviously unfinished, but boy is it fun to play.

What did u use, Controller or Mouse+Keyboard? Cos with the latter I absolutely had zero problems.

I 100% agree, i can not stand the controls in Witcher 3. I've tried 3 separate times to get into it and it just feels so awful to play.
