    For players who just want more Witcher, there’s no doubt that Blood And Wine delivers. It has a whole new land to explore, there are tons of things to do, and there’s enough content to keep someone busy for dozens of hours. On the other hand, it felt to me like the entire Witcher experience had already peaked, so following it up with something that’s just not as good leaves things in an awkward place. The last ten minutes are absolutely worth seeing, but the hours that come before it? Maybe not so much.

This is at aBlood and Wine brings everything you anticipated and much more. If you liked Hearts of Stone then you are going to love this. This is at a much larger scale with a new map and the game itself got impressive upgrades. Wild Hunt's interface was my favorite among RPGs. Now it looks and functions even better. The new map of Toussaint is as big as Skellige, full of colors, and minus the annoying contours. I had to stop every two minutes to enjoy the atmosphere. Story seems exciting so far with great new characters and monsters. Scrpt and voice acting are phenomenal as ever. Camera work is more cinematic. If you are a fan of Witcher gear then your mastercrafted items will be getting the Grandmaster upgrade. There are new mutations, Gwent cards, a whole bunch of new and exciting things a Witcher fan may dream of. If you have enjoyed Wild Hunt and Hearts of Stone, you must not miss out on this. It is well worth the price. Full Review »

    Finished everything in the DLC. This game is a masterpiece but the expansion pack is also the best I have ever played in my 20 years ofFinished everything in the DLC. This game is a masterpiece but the expansion pack is also the best I have ever played in my 20 years of gaming. CD Projekt Red, thank you for reviving my hope in the gaming industry. The only sad part is that once you beat it you realize that this is the end for the witcher adventure. I hope one day CDPR decides to give us Witcher 4 but until then we have to wait for Cyberpunk 2077 first.

    As for the expansion for $20 you get a full game, it has everything. Beautiful new music, exceptionally written dialog and the story is intense. A long time character from the books returns and he is stellar. I love this game. Get it now, buy it, support cdpr.

    At the end of the game they give a thank you note to the gamers, that also deserves a shed tear. They are like developers in the 90s that actually cared to create art and cared about their fan base. This expansion is GOTY.
