    Good DLC, but the way the content is scaled is annoying and breaks game lore. The entire new area basically works as GAME+ mode, with low-level creatures like drowners scaled up to annoying 34th level demi-gods that takes minutes of beatings to "down".

    Новые враги и новая заставка медитации Геральда в меню. Одна новая мелодия. Не особо интересная сюжетка. Новый способ потратить деньги, что лучше не делать. Новый бафы на меч не стоят потраченных на них денег.

    Oh, la gran historia de los Von Everec. Esta expansión tiene un guión grandioso. Nunca antes había visto una trama sobre el deseo tan atrayente y bien contada. Es cierto que tiene algunos problemas, principalmente centrados en algún que otro combate contra jefes finales no muy inspirados y hasta cierto punto desesperantes a la par que aburridos.

    Hearts of Stone pulled the fastest bait and switch I’ve ever seen. After taking a contract and fulfilling it, Geralt is taken prisoner by men from Ofier and put on a boat. When you crash you might think you’ve made it to this new country, well my friend, I can tell you, nope you’re just off the shore of Novigrad. Back to gloom and annoying crowds, because this whole DLC takes place inHearts of Stone pulled the fastest bait and switch I’ve ever seen. After taking a contract and fulfilling it, Geralt is taken prisoner by men from Ofier and put on a boat. When you crash you might think you’ve made it to this new country, well my friend, I can tell you, nope you’re just off the shore of Novigrad. Back to gloom and annoying crowds, because this whole DLC takes place in Novigrad, Oxenfurt and its surrounding area. The thing that really got me was how this ‘adventure’ really felt like it was cut from the original game only to be sold separately. After all, how many times can characters mention Radovid and all the kingly things he’s doing, hours and hours after he’s been dead? The best parts of this DLC were the wedding, which was just hilarious, and the Von Everec estate which was a superb mystery and investigation (something the base game was sorely missing). I could have happily ended it on that estate mission because boy was the ending quest just a letdown. The main villain was clearly never fleshed out, what he was was never outright answered and the good ending clearly slapped on, as though the creators thought you would never have done that optional mission and would obviously just get the bad ending. If you wish to play it, do this at the recommended level 35 while in the base game. You’ll definitely want to end on the high note that is Blood and Wine.… Expand

    With Geralt's final adventure coming to an end, CD Projekt Red did a masterful job. Action, intrigue, love and Gwent - it's all there and it's better than ever. Truly a finale worthy of the legendary Witcher.

    12 hour long expansion almost as good as the original game. [12/2015, p.42]
