story
108 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story aspect of the game is described as lacking depth and engagement, often feeling like a series of repetitive tasks rather than a cohesive narrative. While it incorporates elements from the Witcher lore, many players find the quests to be linear and simplistic, with minimal interaction and character development. Overall, the game captures some essence of the Witcher universe but fails to deliver a compelling storytelling experience, often leading to confusion and frustration among players.
“The quests are based on the famous lore of The Witcher, so it's very immersive.”
“I enjoy the Witcher franchise and this board game captures the essence of the story nicely.”
“It's meant to be role-played; you have to read the quests to feel any kind of depth.”
“The game doesn't build a story; it just stops when someone completes enough quests.”
“In addition, the atmosphere is as removed from the Witcher games and books as possible; the characters are only pawns, and the missions and episodes you encounter are extremely linear, basic, and poor in details.”
“This game is a farce... it is horribly boring and has no real depth; lacking in both content, character/story development, and relevancy... the 'adventure' isn't really all that different each time you play.”
The Witcher Adventure Game Review
The Witcher Adventure Game is a virtual tabletop experience saddled with simple, repetitive objectives.
69%The Witcher Adventure Game Review
Maybe the problem with The Witcher Adventure Game is that it’s just too much like the board game which was meant to be played with four friends together in a room, narrating their actions to each other while making inappropriate jokes about Triss. Playing this version just feels too solitary and mildly tedious. For fans of the board game only.
65%Geralt goes rolling along -- The Witcher Adventure Game
For all of its faults, The Witcher: Adventure game for PC has an undeniable allure. The artwork is nice and evocative, and the focus on questing is appropriate to the theme. However, there are other games that come immediately to mind which accomplish the feeling of Witcher adventures and plot development better than this does. If you are a fan of the franchise, by all means, consider adding this game to your collection, as it will let you slide into the shoes of some of your favorite characters. For all others, look elsewhere for your adventuring and competitive needs.
