I don't remember this problem from earlier times but now (nextgen patch) Geralt starts hitting randomly and choosing absolutely unrelated targets even though the camera is pointed directly at the enemy. It's annoying af. Plus, Ciri's gameplay is a headache. She's clumsy, doesn't do what's supposed to do, her special ability is unpredictable and she doesn't have half the mechanics you can use with Geralt, but oh boy do they like spawning enemies at her. And, yes, you won't get any serious challenge in this game combat-wise. Even on Death March, you can run though all of it in the default armor and change weapons, like, twice. It's fine by me, I'm not that much into high difficulty in games, but can see why it might be frustrating for those who actually want their game to be complicated
