+1 star for art and polish
The Good: The art is pretty, the technical performance is polished. The Bad: I've played countless board games. I've played hardcore, casual, war games, economic games, competitive, co-op,and "multiplayer solitaire" games. The Witcher Adventure Game is one of the worst board game experiences I've ever had. It reminds me of a mix between Elder Signs and Eldritch horror in that you're running around the world collecting clues to solve quests and combat is rolling the right symbols to match up. I loved Elder Signs and Eldritch Horror, but TWAG is just boring, pointless frustration. You get a quest worth victory points. The quest takes a certain number of clues that you have to move around collecting. You get 6 possible actions and can perform 2 of them per turn. The kicker is that the game is constantly penalizing you by blocking your actions with wounds (cannot perform action until you rest and remove the wound) or "foul fate" tokens which cause you to draw a punishment card if you perform that action, usually causing more wounds and foul fate tokens. You're forced to fight the area's monster at the end of every turn which inflicts more wounds and foul fate tokens. It's very, very easy to get crippled with an endless wave of these. There can be a powerful monster you cannot defeat wounding you every turn, but you cannot move away because your movement actions are covered in wounds and the foul fate tokens keep piling up. You can't die and start over, there is no safe space to retreat to and recover, so you're stuck in an endless cycle of wounding and resting every turn. There is no interaction between players. Zero. You all just keep rolling every turn until you have enough stuff to win. It's completely pointless and entirely luck driven. I'll usually give games a lot of chances, but TWAG is such a joyless slog of random die rolls and punishment that our group quit both games we tried to play. There are so many better board games out there.
