    I feel sad, there will be no more DLC, no adventures for Geralt or Witcher3...
    This Dlc is amazing... stories... the main and the side quests are well written.
    30hours more ... for less than a full priced game...
    Thx you CD Projekt...

    Without question one of the best DLC's released in years for any game. So many game companies do cash grabs and pre-sale DLC garbage.

    I won’t spoil the DLC, it’s what you would expect, with some cool new features, and a new inventory management. I don’t know what’s in the water over there at CDPR, but this is some good stuff!    … Expand

    Estaba totalmente enamorado de The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt; también de su expansión de Hearts of Stones y tenia grandes expectativas de Blood and wine.
    Sin duda, CD PROJECKT RED las ha cumplido una vez más y lo voy a intentar resumir en varios puntos:

    - La historia: Hacia tiempo que una historia no me enganchaba así. Los giros de la trama principal, y el contenido de esta es impresionante. Como cambia la historia dependiendo tus actos, ese tono gris y oscuro que caracterizan las historias de The Witcher sigue estando presente, y el nivel de carisma que tienen los personajes de la trama también es de un nivel muy alto.
    -El mapa y contenido secundario: Ya dijo CD Projeckt que esta expansion seria grande. Pues dicho y hecho (a comparación de ciertas empresas), el mapa es impresionante, y la nueva gama de colores le sienta muy bien. Sin duda hacen que Toussaint sea totalmente diferente al norte, que está devastado por la guerra y embarrado. El contenido secundario va por la misma linea que el del juego original, a un nivel muy alto. Muchas de estas historias son mejores que algunas principales de otros juegos.
    -Mejoras: La expansión venia con una actualización que mejora el inventario, que ayuda a estar más organizado. La nueva mejora del personaje es muy completa (aunque quizás se hace más fácil a niveles altos incluso en marcha de la muerte que es como yo lo he jugado), y la implementación de una vivienda ayuda en la inmersión del juego.    … Expand

    This is hands down the best dlc/expansion ive ever played in my life and I couldn't recommend it enough.
    Thank you cd red for a truly great end to a truly great trilogy of games.

    -30 hours of gameplay
    -writting
    -PRICE!

    Cons
    -too many jokes and refferences
    -bugs at launch
    I cant just find major flaws of this game. It is essential. Also they give you Physical gwent decks. God damn, buy this Expansion if you are Witcher guy, because it is totally worth it, and its price is cheap.

    CDPR's definition of DLC is simply on another level. No other dev compares, not with the quality or quality you get for the price asked. This features a stunning new area and dozens of new quest and characters, most of which are better than the base game. If anything deserves a 10, this is it.

    Wine, magic mushrooms, talking to horses, lovely landscapes, excellent story line (vampires), improved gaphics, interesting new mutagen upgrades (reminds me of the original witcher game) and many new quests and things to discover, a brilliant soundtrack and highly optimized performance. This is not a "DLC", this is a true Add-On with a lot of content.

    There is no greater way to say goodbye to Geralt then through a mind blowing expansion pack. I loved playing Heart of Stone but Blood and Wine was like a whole new game, such was its size. Well done CDPR and thanks for the memorable experience.

    Oh, my. Oh, my. CD Project Red just showed everyone how to make a DLC. This includes everything that a well made DLC should include. It is simply the DLC to rule them all.

    Released May. 31 on all major platforms it is abolutely without question a must buy for anyone and everyone that enjoyed Witcher 3.
    Blood and Wine includes a huge map, with interesting places and a lot of wine, and french culture.
    It starts of with a 'normal' Witcher contract sent out my 'Her Enlightened Ladyship Duchess of Toussaint' to kill and bring the head of The Beast of Beauclair. Quite romantic, no? Along the adventure you may happen upon old and new friends and characters. The world is also filled with interesting sidequests and Witcher Contracts, everything reigning from helping Knights defeat Monsters, and being attacked by living statues. Blood and Wine also includes the great immersion and feeling of liveliness that the main game possess.
    The story of Blood and Wine is great. It immerse you in a beautiful and sometimes dark story of love, and murder. Blood And Wine includes multiple ending which makes it very replayable.
    The characters have differents views and ideoligies, and It's your job to choose which side you believe is the best. The voice acting is great apart from some moments that bring you straight out of the experience and ruins it for you, although the game is great and it brings you straight back in again. Some character also sound suspiciously ... Swedish?
    The game runs just as smoothly as the main game and it is twice as pretty with the beautiful meadows and colourfull environment. I had constant 60fps troughout the entire games without any drops of lag spikes (i5 6600k, EVGA gtx980, 16gb RAM).
    The game ends beautifully with Geralt of Rivia talking with a character and they say they need some rest, then Geralt moves his head and eyes and look at you through your computer screen. An incredible message from the developers that they will now take a rest from the Witcher and probably make a new IP. With CD P. Red's new game Cyberpunk 2077 in developement I sure as hell hope thay can bring the same type of quality and love to their next game.    … Expand

    The jaw-dropping graphic, intriguing storytelling, well designed choices, open-world adventure depth and richness, all sums up to the pinnacle of a single player game.
    On top of that, it is an DLC with 40 hour+ playtime and costs only $20, while all other game publisher charge you $60 for some "full game" that has much less content.

    Also I would advice to try the mods, I made more sense of the game when I got a mod to update the game a bit, so the merchants would pay a bit more for my good and have more money (35/100) and the monsters would always throw loot, I found the game more fun in that way and be able to get most of the recipes I found from the merchants.    … Expand

    The Witcher has always been a slightly overrated series that has solid gameplay and a decent story with its fair share of issues, such as its weak combat system and a somewhat discombobulated storyline. With the Blood and Wine DLC however, everything has changed. This masterfully created piece of art has taken The Witcher to a transcendent level reached by only a few titles in the pastThe Witcher has always been a slightly overrated series that has solid gameplay and a decent story with its fair share of issues, such as its weak combat system and a somewhat discombobulated storyline. With the Blood and Wine DLC however, everything has changed. This masterfully created piece of art has taken The Witcher to a transcendent level reached by only a few titles in the past decade. It's the very best combination of magnificent moods, spectacular stories, fantastic voice acting, and a grandiose soundtrack all set in a wondrous new locale. In the modern day of freemium games, CDPR has created a gem of a DLC that the world may never see its equal for a very long time.

    Don't let the DLC part fool you, this game can, and should stand plenty on its own.

    My personal favorite is the expansion "Heart of Stone", which tells you a story inspired by Goethes Faust. Holy crap! I've never seen a plot build up like this in a video game. And all of this in an astonishing witcher universe.

    The Witcher 3: Blood & Wine is an exceptional expansion that reignites a sense of wonder even for players who have put in hundreds of hours so far. The breadth and variety of all that’s included stands stronger than many full-priced sequels. As a twenty-dollar add-on, it’s absolutely worthwhile.
