Waiting for some Witcher? Try the adventure game.

I don't really know how I feel about spinoff games or about how it seems like developers are trying to take them into different genres.  Take Hearthstone for example, it's a fun spinoff from the Warcraft world that takes the characters from Blizzard's series and makes it into a card game.  CD Projekt Red, the company that created one of my favorite RPG series, The Witcher, seems to be wandering down a similar path.  They have very recently released The Witcher Adventure Game which is a digital version of a board game.  Here's  a video if you haven't heard of it:

It looks kind of interesting.  I mean, Hearthstone works, so why couldn't this?  If I wasn't still neck deep in Dragon Age:  Inquisition I might try it out.  You can play by yourself against AI, with friends, or publicly in a matchmaking system.  I don't know that a digital board game really has draw enough to tempt me into buying it.  It's only $8.99 on GOG (DRM-free!) so it's a fairly cheap investment.

If you're desperate for some Witcher this might be an excellent choice.  As for me, I think I'll hold off and continue anticipating the release of The Witcher III early in 2015.  By that time I might actually be done with Dragon Age:  Inquisition :)
