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.… Expand

    Brilliant. I don't know how it does it, but the writing in this series somehow bridges the gap in fantasy and real-life and makes me care about the characters. That's hard to do in this day and age.

    Seriously, CD Projekt Red could take all the cutscenes from Witcher 3 and turn it into a top-rated TV show. Never have I ever been more immersed and interested in a story in a video game!

Never have I ever been more immersed and interested in a story in a video game!

    My review comes from the perspective of someone who hasn't played the game, but has watched someone play through the whole main story of Blood and Wine. I have little knowledge of Geralt and his past, or of the Witcher universe.

    With that in mind, the script writing, character animation, and voice acting are spectacular, and encouraged me to buy the game! Every conversation feels like an actual conversation between people rather than robots.

    Each side quest, no matter how insignificant, has layers of depth to it. For example, one quest, called 'Big Game Hunter', has you escorting and protecting a count while he takes pictures of creatures in nature. You learn later that he's doing this because his daughter used to love seeing creatures in nature, but is unable because of an injury.

    In something as insignificant as escorting a rich guy around, you get to see the heart and soul of a person. You get to understand the count, his family, and even his bodyguards. In most RPG's, quest-giving NPC's could easily be replaced with notice boards.

    In conclusion, the hype is real: The Witcher 3 and all of its DLC is well worth their critical praise. CD Projekt Red has made a piece of video game art, and I am not sure how someone may be able to surpass them in their achievement.    … Expand

But that was my only gripe with the expansion. Some of my favorite additions were the monsters in Blood and Wine. Every new creature was really friggin awesome, such as the panthers, spriggins, bruxa and kikimoores. (I really hate the kikimoores.) This expansion in many regards is better than the base game, and with the fact that you can start a new game from level 34 just for Blood and Wine, this is a must play even if you haven't finished the main game.… Expand

However, the graphics, music, storyline and voice acting is probably the best I've ever seen. The game was a solid 9 before the two DLC additions and all the other free additions and polish were added. Now? It's a perfect 10.
    If you like real RPG's or even if you're just a casual fan of them, I highly suggest picking up a copy and buy both DLC's. You won't be disappointed and you'll have at least 150 hours of gameplay.

    CD Projekt Red is right up there with Naughty Dog and From Software as far as excellence in gaming is concerned. I look forward to anything and everything they release in the future.    … Expand

    As for the DLC for the game contains a lot of new things. Quite a new map with the open world and really great location - for example the a land of fairy tales. New characters and MAIN storyline for several hours.
    It could be a whole new game. So the price for it its so good. Really good creations of vampires and his power.
    DLC effectively closes the whole story of Geralt !

I wouldn't even call it a DLC, because I spent over 50 hours playing through all the content which is massive and more than many regular games can offer for a full price. While Hearts of Stone focused on the main story, but the sauce around it wasn't anything special, this is just the opposite. Blood and Wine still has a good main story, but the main draw of this DLC imo is everything else, beautiful location, exploring, all the side quests and activities you can do, having your own house, legendary new items, new mutation tree, once again amazing soundtrack... after quite a long break since the last time I played TW3 I didn't really want to go back, but this world and characters absorbed me once again and I don't want to leave now, which is the best thing the game can give you. Overall, when I look at retrospectively, The Witcher 3, with all the upgrades and improvements over the last year, plus 2 absolutely amazing DLC's has become one of the best games, not just in the RPG genre, but overall and in time it will be ranked among the legends. 10/10… Expand

    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.

    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.
