    Despite all of its sometimes tiresome puzzles and poorly implemented new features, Hearts of Stone is one of the best expansion packs the gaming world has seen in recent years.

    Such an amazing add-on. In fact, this was the best DLC since Half Life Opposing Force. Very funny and strong. Really fun to play and story is strong. Don´t hasitate to download and play it.

    Contrary to CDPR's definition, this DLC isn't really an expansion, as it's essentially only one long quest and a couple of side quests. Yes, I know, there's the runewright, new armor and weapons and stuff like that, but they are all pretty minor things overall. The runewright especially is a bit disappointing.

Although there is one part of the main quest that's a bit dull and I wasn't satisfied with the ending, in the end I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed it thoroughly. For 10€ this is absolutely a must buy.… Expand

    The Witcher 3's first expansion is a bit less deep as compared to the main story but possesses a greater amount of humor and a better feel of adventure. Hearts of Stone is truly what you can call a DLC -- hooking me again in the game, tending to my wounds after the peculiar wave of sadness that comes when you finish a game as good as The Witcher 3.

    It is a very good DLC, with a very good story and development of new characters. However, the ending is a bit disappointing. No final boss fight, only running around trying to find a reflection was kinda boring (and with that damn time limit)

    Hearts of Stone is one of those rare cases where the expansion is better than the main game. My gameplay criticisms to the Witcher 3 still apply to the DLC.

    Hearts of Stone brings phenomenal story and characters. The Man of Glass, the haunted mansion (the scariest quest in the entire Witcher series for me so far), the village wedding (the funniest quest in the entire Witcher series, I couldn't stop laughing), heist mission, challenging boss battles and more.

    Great DLC.

    Fantastic DLC. 10 hours of new main story content, for only 10€! The boss battles in the DLC are also much better than the ones from the main game. The new enchanting feature is also pretty neat, however, the DLC could've used some more side quests, but it's still a great DLC that's totally worth your money.

    The main storyline itself is only good. A predictable storyline, and I can't like one of the most important characters.
    Side quests and what's around the main plot, it's a revelation.

    We have the opportunity to meet the characters from The Witcher 1, which is a really nice experience.

    Many hours of great fun

    The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone DLC delivers an exceptional experience with its captivating narrative and memorable characters. However, its brilliance is somewhat hindered by its comparatively short length when compared to the expansive scope of Blood and Wine.
