    Absolutely marvelous addon. Worth every single grosz (penny) you spend on it.
    Gaunter o'Dim is just the best NPC in whole gaming.

    Score: 9/10

    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.

    This game is LEGENDARY! One of the best games of all time. The story, music, characters, the world, it's all so good! The developers poured so much of their love and passion into this and it absolutely shows.
    Don't hesitate, play this absolute masterpiece!

    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 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

    Both DLCs for The Witcher 3 are great. It includes new upgrades to your weapons and an expansion of the map. But, without a doubt, the best feature about this DLC is its story, dark and intriguing.

    There are some new boss fights which are quite challenging, especially in comparison to the disappointingly simple boss fights of the main game.

    And lastly, the setting is very interesting and unique, I absolutely love it.

    The only issue I can find is that it's relatively short and lacks content. Unfortunately it's barely 10 hours long and there's no replay-ability.

    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. Where it differs is that Hearts of Stone has such beautiful story and the game focuses on its strengths. You won’t find unnecessary fetch quests here.

    8/10 ❤️ - Very good
    (after completing the DLC)

    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.

    "The Hearts of Stone" is the first DLC for The Witcher 3 that came out in 5 months after the game did and was a "sip" of fresh content. The story narrates us about the history of Olgierd von Everek and his family. He is a Raubritter (baron-rogue), his origins lead us to the character of Polish legends Pan Twardowsky, a man who outsmarted the devil with his weapon - contract.

    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.

    Witcher 3 is a fantastic game - in my eyes, the best RPG published until 2015.
    Hearts of Stone is a mildly interesting interactive movie.
    During many of the movie sequences, where you move ten steps to get to the next movie, you cannot even save.

    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.

Basically its more awesome in a smaller box. There are some side quests, but not a lot. There are new monsters and bosses which cause you to re-think battle tactics. There is a new enchanter merchant who can introduce some quality of life improvements. More significantly the main 4 quests are up there with the best quests in the base game, and thats 70% of the expansion right there. The characters are fully fleshed out 3 dimensional beings, despite only one of them appearing in the books. It is fun at times, dark at times and tragic at times. Every quest has a purpose. No fetch runs or pointless collections here. And the environment.... There is a house. Once you see it in the game world, once in someones impressionist painting of it, and once in some sort of nightmare place. The contrast between these impressions of the same place are nothing short of masterful. Far better than one could expect from a new space that would be more of the same. Compared to other DLC out there Hearts of Stone is a bargain and well worth it. I'd go so far as to say "best expansion ever" but I'll have to play blood and wine first to see if that's true.… Expand
