    The Lord of the Hunt is pretty solid. The DLC offers more of the same, but you will get a brand new Nemesis-scheme plus new side missions and collectibles. The new Beastmasters and the emphasis on riding beasts give Lord of the Hunt a reason to be played. It is too bad that all skills and the full map are unlocked from the beginning.

It's too bad that the new collectibles and missions are just as dull, uninspired and repetitive as they were in the base game. Overall, a perfectly functional, but otherwise bland and non-essential DLC.

However, the new bosses, quests and collectibles follow the same patterns as the main game, so it feels repetitive and uninspired. It could've worked better if it was embedded within the main game, similar to The Witcher 3 expansions.… Full Review »

Lord of the Hunt is a de facto sequel which is linked to the events that occur in the second half of the main game, so don't play this until after you've beaten it.

    In this DLC, you start off with everything unlocked and go through the same process of killing five Warchiefs again. There's nothing in this DLC that particularly sets it apart from the main game, except that it has a focus on bringing more oomph to gameplay mechanics that were previously underutilized. The Warchiefs have unique weaknesses that you must exploit to beat them.

    Considering how this mode doesn't really introduce much, I think it deserves a 7. It's worth a play since it's extra game time in the end, but it really isn't all that special. It is a short experience that, if you focus on the main objective, can be completed in under three hours.    … Full Review »
