    作为资料片质量也太高了，剧情和玩法跟主线相比过之而无不及。主线通关现在是150小时，关于血与酒的支线大部分还没有做。
    在看多了威伦大陆的阴暗、潮湿之后，来到了永远都是晴天的童话公国陶森特之后，完全不想离开了，甚至连快跑都是一种奢侈。天气阳光明媚，建筑色彩缤纷，民风淳朴没有路边的强盗。在新冠疫情不能旅游的当下，巫师3里的陶森特真的是一副最好的安慰剂。我仿佛置身在南欧（更倾向于意大利、西班牙）的阳光下、沙滩上，享用着醇香葡萄酒与可口的海鲜，什么都不想，什么都不做，多好。    作为资料片质量也太高了，剧情和玩法跟主线相比过之而无不及。主线通关现在是150小时，关于血与酒的支线大部分还没有做。

    回到游戏本身，血与酒的主线剧情做的太好了，不仅将悬疑更提升了一个高度，玩法上也更多变了，在童话幻象中竟然能看到堕落的卖药卖酒的小女孩，脑洞真的可以。结局的大战跟本体的狂猎之战真的没有差多少。人物的建模在血与酒里面更多变了，也更自然了。主线通关之后的结局是对杰洛特最好的结局，也意味着蠢驴不会再继续做巫师的游戏（巫师4）了。通关血与酒跟通关本体一样伤感，本体是因为玩到了bad ending，siri死了，血与酒是因为triss的回归，让我觉得杰洛特的冒险是时候结束了。
    巫师3没有这两部资料片是不完美的。    … Expand

    "Blood and Wine" es una de las dos expansiones o DLC de "The Witcher 3". Más que una expansión se trata en mi opinión de otro juego, de otra aventura aparte.

Más que una expansión se trata en mi opinión de otro juego, de otra aventura aparte. Si bien es cierto que para acceder a este contenido necesitamos el juego principal, lo que nos ofrece es un contenido muy amplio, digno de ser otro juego aparte (yo habré jugado unas 30h).
    Necesitaremos tener nivel 35 o superior para realizar la incursión al mundo de "Blood and Wine", exactamente al "Ducado de Toussaint", una región grande, hermosa y digna de pertenecer a un cuento de hadas. Curiosamente el título de esta expansión es muy acertado pues "Toussaint" es la tierra del vino y además en esta aventura, Geralt tendrá que desentrañar un misterio oscuro y sangriento. Tendrá que dar caza a la llamada "Bestia de Beaucleair", un vampiro antiguo y poderoso que esconderá una trama mucho más compleja de lo que parece.
    El mundo de Toussaint es sencillamente bello, hermoso, colorido, nada de colores tristes o tonalidades crueles como en la aventura principal en The Witcher 3. Todos los paisajes son hermosos, donde los viñedos, fortalezas, serpenteantes caminos polvorientos y campos de flores adornan y colorean el mapa dándole vida y una personalidad única.
    "Beaucleair" es la capital de Ducado, regido por Anna Henrietta y su corte de caballeros leales y andantes. La ciudad es sencillamente hermosa, llena de plazas adoquinadas, calles empedradas, casas coloridas y "controlada" por el flamante y fantástico castillo (sin duda el elemento más de cuento de hadas).
    El mapa, además de tener un tamaño idóneo, está repleto de actividades típicas como en "The Witcher 3" pero también añade otras muy curiosas y originales. Las misiones secundarias de nuevo son excelentes, con tramas únicas y atractivas, en especial las misiones "Las Guerras Del Vino" y "El Gran Torneo De Beaucleair" (digna de hazañas caballerescas esta última).
    Los personajes que aparecen en escena son también de nuevo muy interesantes y originales.
    "Blood and Wine" es resumiendo esto, un gusto para los sentidos, hermoso, maduro y donde no faltará de nuevo una trama compleja pero fácil de seguir, donde Geralt tendrá que librar al Ducado de una bestia antigua y peligrosa.    … Expand

    Excellent really good. Invested an extra 20 hours or so in to the game. Odd graphical glitch. But a good main story and side quests plus extra Witcher contracts my favorite. Now all the dlc has been released and has been reviewed I would reccomend the season pass as the heart of stone is also a good quality DLC

    Blood and Wine is possibly the greatest video game expansion of all time. For $20 (or $25 for the season pass which I recommend), you get close to 40 hours of content. Great gameplay, great story, and an all-around must buy for Witcher fans. My only major complaint is that there are currently lots of bugs. I'd consider this a 10 if they all get patched.

    Blood and wine is the final expansion and final piece of dlc for the witcher 3 wild hunt, and unlike hearts of stone... this dlc feels like an actual expansion… an extension to the game, not just a new giant quest.
    Blood and Wine introduces the area of Toussaint
    Toussaint is gorgeous, and full of color…
    And there is tons to be done here…
    This DLC could be its own game, because not only is there a 10 hour campaign here, there are 20 more hours of side quests, a new Gwent deck to collect, new treasures to find, new areas to liberate, more witcher contracts, as well as diagrams for grand mastered versions of your armor…
    This dlc also introduces the ability to dye your armor, and you’re given your own land to harvest crops for alchemy and creating dyes.
    There is also a new mutation skill tree which opens up new perks as well as gives you 4 new slots from the perks before, as well as the level cap increased to 100.
    And there is plenty to do to chase this level cap as just like the base game, every side mission if fleshed out as well as the main campaign missions...
    They’ll have you entering a tournament, only to find out a dark secret, running through the city to retrieve a stolen pair of balls… cleaning up sabotaged vineyards, just to name a few…
    And there are of course nests to destroy, caves to explore, and newly added enemy bases to take control of, all featuring a boss fight…
    Surprisingly the weakest aspect of this dlc is the campaign itself..
    It tells the story of a vampire terrorizing these lands... murdering people…
    So you’ve been called by the duchess to hunt this vampire down and kill him…
    So this turns into a batman type story..
    Which is sort of ironic considering...batman...vampire…
    It’s all about solving the mystery, finding out why this vampire is targeting these people…
    The strongest point of this dlc is later on in the story when you go into a book of fairytales..
    You’ll meet classic characters like the big bad wolf, the munchkins from the wizard of Oz… goldilocks and the 3 bears…
    All having a bit of a sick twist to them…
    This section alone was worth the journey this expansion will take you on.
    While I found the main story of Blood and Wine to be fairly weak, This expansion is crawling with engaging content, mysteries to be solved, and booties to be seen.
    I give the Witcher 3: Blood and Wine

    The last adventure of The Witcher, now in a brand new area, Tousant, a fairy tale country full of colours and wonderful landscapes.

    The quests in Tousant are a bit repetitive with the only purpose of earning money.

    The main story splits at a point in two ways to go, one is very interesting and fun to play, but the other is the opposite, boring and not to inspired.

    There are also two endings, one of them very well built, the other is a bit ilogic and lacks creativity.
    Furthermore, the main end it´s the same despite of the way you chose to complete the game, and it isn´t the great final Geralt deserves, like Hearts of Stones did.

    There are also a problem with the vampire enemies, well it is not a problem of the expansion itself, but of the game. Now the diferent tipes of vampires have its own desings, wich in the main game still don´t have.
    Wich in my opinion demostrate that the game was launched unfinished.

    In spite of all of this bad thing, the expansion still worths its money, its a good new content and very enjoyable.    … Expand

    Seems pretty basic, and believe me it is. The story is as basic as it can get and is a huge downfall after the main story of the game and Hearts of Stone, the first expansion. It doesn't mean that it's bad, it's the exact opposite even if it's below the level of base game and HoS. I had much fun with it and sidequests were on a much larger scale than in Hearts Of Stone, which is a great thing.

    So what changed? Not really much, Blood & Wine did add many features like coloring your Witcher gear, rebuilding a vineyard propably inspired by Assassin's Creed and many more, but it didn't really change gameplay or add anything to it.

    The expansion has lots of content, I finished everything in about 30 hours and I had a great time like with the base game. In conclusion, great expansion for a cheap price. I would personally give it 9/10.    … Expand

Nice additions are the new mutation system, in which you can use mutagens and ability points to unlock new skills, and the fact that Geralt gets his own house, which you can upgrade (reminded me of Skyrim).

    B&W expansion is more of good old Witcher 3 core gameplay, but story doesn't quite live up to HoS.

    The expansion is set in the new land of Toussaint, which looks beautiful and features new enemy types and characters, along with a new main story. Alas, the story is not nearly as personal as the one told in HoS. The new characters, while compelling and well portrayed, are just not very deep (imo). There's a lot of chasing and detective work, similar to main Novigrad quest of W3, which eventually culminates in a boss fight (although there's an option to travel to a very fun special level for a bit which a very welcome change of pace). Overall, the main quest is kind of similar to Carnal Sins quest from W3 Novigrad, albeit with more of a twist. There are many sidequests in B&W, but only a few of them are more than just glorified treasure hunts or monster contracts. Still fun, but not quite as good as, say, Towerful of Mice side quest or Last Wish.

    Overall, it's a good nostalgia trip and a lot of content for the money, just don't expect the same kind of focus and story level as HoS.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mixed feelings with this supposed final telling of Geralt's adventures. I completed the main story feeling unfulfilled. Don't get me wrong, the story telling and voice acting quality did not drop one bit and the ending was amazing (even though I got the worst ending by accident).

    It just doesn't feel like the right sending off for our Witcher. Like yay he gets a retirement home and he's content to lay back and grow wine for the rest of his days. I maxed out his house which was pretty easy if you have the gold. They should give the house some meaning like unlimited side missions like they did in Skyrim.

    They should of brought the old crew back like after you complete the main story, it'd be good to go horse riding with Triss or Ciri accompanying you on a hunt.

    The bugs are back with some Loading screen issues and Roach doing weird things again. These don't bother me as the developers do really well in fixing most of them on future updates.

    So its an 8 for me. Great game, but they really should of went hard with Geralt's swansong.    … Expand

    If you liked Wild Hunt get the Blood and Wine expansion. Blood and Wine has almost enough content to be its own game. While I found the story boring at times, it is about as good as an expansion could be.

    the style, the atmosphere, the quests is just perfect but on the other hand we have the gameplay... for 2015-16 this is a joke. no combat mechanics, a stupid horse that u cant ride, Gerald's walk-swim style was so unstable that u cant loot in front of you,laggy menu (when you have many items), and much more. but the worst of all is the freaking loading's.

    Blood and Wine Expansion:
    This expansion gives a new storyline, a big new map, more creatures, dozens of new question markers and many new pieces of gear.
    The main storyline of this expansion is fantastic, reuniting you with Regis the Higher Vampire. You are hired to kill the beast of Beauclair, but this contract will turn out to be something much bigger than just a monster. There are    Blood and Wine Expansion:
    This expansion gives a new storyline, a big new map, more creatures, dozens of new question markers and many new pieces of gear.

    The main storyline of this expansion is fantastic, reuniting you with Regis the Higher Vampire. You are hired to kill the beast of Beauclair, but this contract will turn out to be something much bigger than just a monster. There are 5 new sets of Witcher Gear, and even more mutation modifiers. Finally, the other vampires not featured in the main game are included, as well as some other cool monsters. By the time you compete Blood and Wine, your bestiary will be huge.

    As the aforementioned additions are cool, i do have a few strong negatives towards this expansion.
    1: Filler question markers:
    Many of the question markers are plain and simple filler. You will encounter either: Archespores (which are annoying) Bandits (which are boring) or Kakimores (Which are just a re-skin of Endrega's). As you visit each, you will notice that the ones at the edge of the map are placed quite awkwardly. The area feels unfinished and empty.

    2: Not enough proper Witcher Contracts or Introductions:
    If you've played the base game, you'll know how well the anticipation towards a new monster can often be build. You'll find tracks, Geralt will talk about this monster, naming how deadly and dangerous it can be. By the time you are near its lair, you'll be on the edge of your seat. Sadly, Blood and Wine has offensively little of this. Many monster like the Alp, Fleder, Garkain, Protofleder and a new wraith type have no introduction like this, and can be found by random chaotic encounters without any suspense. This feels like a missed opportunity, and even lazy considering the developer already did these encounters BETTER in the base game.

    3: OP balancing issues:
    While playing Blood and Wine, i came across several instances where fighting bandits felt like i was fighting demigods. Despite my Geralt wearing Grandmaster Witcher Gear with several modifiers on it, bandits would beat right through it using blunt axes... This makes no sense from a statistic point of view in the game, nor does it make sense considering the legendary armor Geralt is wearing.

    4: Feels unfinished:
    Next to the excessive amount of repetitive enemies described in point 1, i noticed that many question markers had initiation items similar to missions in the base game, yet started nothing. Many times, you'll come across a dead person carrying a letter. Yet after reading it, no mission initiates. Upon further exploration however, you'll often find something related to this letter. It feels as if CD Projekt RED intended to have more missions, yet didn't finish making them.

    In summary, i think the Blood and Wine expansion offers many hours of fun. But i was also disappointed considering what i've seen before in the base game, and i feel like this expansion is the weakest aspect of the entire Witcher 3 property. That said, it is still a good game. I give it a 7/10.    … Expand

    Just like Hearts of Stone, Blood and Wine highlights the bad and good things about Witcher 3. Graphics are improved. Those ugly distance views we got in original Witcher 3 wont be here, as the lands of this new big area is easily the most beautiful in a PS4 game ever released to this date.

Graphics are improved. Those ugly distance views we got in original Witcher 3 wont be here, as the lands of this new big area is easily the most beautiful in a PS4 game ever released to this date. Story is well written, characters got depth, but the DLC suffer from same problems I found in Wild Hunt and Heart of Stone: the pace is problematic.

    The story starts as a typical one about a kingdom that is haunted by a monter (in this case a Vampire), and Geralt must deal with it, but soon you realize the whole thing is more complex that you first thought, then you really start to care about the characters and cant wait to see what happen next. Then, when the plot seems to reach it climax, here we go: you leave a city full of monsters and vampires and go to a dreamland where you fight 5 bosses in a row, with the same not so responsive controls and clunky gameplay that I never learned to love in Wild Hunt. When you left that place where your enemies where the likes of a dead Raponzel, Wicked Witch and Big Bad Wolf, you soon get into the final boss fight, with no time to prepare yourself for that. Most of those boss fights are frustrating due to the bad combat system (for my taste).So, if you are not a big fan of W3 combat, nevermind about Blood and Wine, since here the developers insisted in the Bloodborne/Dark Souls style of boss combat: bosses usually have an attack pattern, that only will let you attack in very sepecific situations, and the final boss got 3 levels. If you are defeated, before you try again you have to face a huge loading screen, and skip a big cutscene and dialogues.

    If you think Wild Hunt is the best game ever made, not doubt you will fall in love with Blood and Wine. To other side, if you thought Wild Hunt was indeed a good game, but suffered from bad combat system, inventory and skill tree, then Wild Hunt experience was enough for you. The story pace is way better than the one from Wild Hunt, a game that told us many different stories and tried to connect them all with the game's biggest one - find Ciri and defeat the Wild Hunt - in a very weak way. Wild Hunt was actually a game composed by small stories, that were most of them superbly told, but the way a goal was set front he very first beginning made the whole thing less absorving for me: how can Geralt be there trying to help a bon vivant open a cabareth when Ciri is in huge danger? I thought Geralt priority was to find Ciri, but of course, you must find this person, or do this favor, because someone got a very small clue about Ciri whereabouts. You wont find that kind of thing here, but as I said before, the problem is the pace of the game in the final act of the main quest, that highlights the bad things about W3: bad inventory and infuriating non responsive gameplay.

    CDPR deserves credit for putting a DLC with so many things to do, though. Some other devs are asking the same money for DLCs played in small levels and rushed plot (think about Dragon Age Inquisition ones). After I finished Blood and Wine, I'm still convinced W3 is really something for games in general. Even if I'm not a big fan of some of the mechanisms here, its really hard to deny that as whole, Witcher 3 is already a classic.    … Expand

    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.

    Blood and Wine held all the components to make a great final adventure, but failed to truly capitalise on any one of them. If you’re looking for a good final experience to cap off your monster hunting career, go finish Hearts of Stone again – this one’s rather underwhelming.
