    Awesome graphics, interesting history but a little bit complicated and hard to get along. If you are really into RPG games you will really enjoy it. But it can persuede some more ocational players like me. Nevertheless I had fun and remained stick with the story.

Clearly CDproject Red put in a lot of effort to optimize this game.

    The game has one of if not, the best side quest in a video game I have played. Every side quest has its own cut scene and choices made can affect the main story. The main story is fantastic and conclusive, which makes you still feel satisfied despite this being the last game for the trilogy. Customization and skills are fantastic and sufficient for a great RPG. The game also boost impressive dialogue choices that have an impact and could really change the way things play out.

    CDproject RED also gives out 16 free DLCs to anyone who paid for the full game, this is a nice gesture by the developer compared to other games that make us cough out more money for cosmetics. The season pass is also well priced.

    If you are a fan of RPGs then The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a must buy, if not then buy it, you will not regret.    … Expand

    Witcher 3 is probably my game of the year for many reasons, but one in particular is what made it so enjoyable: respect. The game respects both your knowledge of the game's mechanics and your skills in combat by offering tough but fair challenges where you will fight enemies on equal ground.

In the Witcher 3, if you die, it is the fault of YOU, not the game in any way. Hearts of Stone threw this out the window almost immediately. I absolutely love the preface and the story, but the enemies became so unforgiving all of a sudden that it became a rage-inducing slog through what should have been a grand adventure. From high level enemies in every area that are almost always guaranteed to be able to kill you in one to three hits regardless of your level or skills, to bosses with cheap nearly-instant-death tactics (I'm looking squarely at you, Frog Prince and Olfieri Mage.) to some incredibly awkward forced group fights against hordes of enemies in small, tight rooms that guarantee multiple deaths, this at times felt like I was playing Dark Souls in its degree of difficulty. If you're able to grind your way through, you will find a solid expansion. Just be prepared to spike your controller on more than one occasion.… Expand

    Anyway since there are so many good reviews for this game I purchased a digital version on PS4 and gave it a go. I'd been playing Dying light and Batman previous to this title (both awesome games), and my first impression when I started up this game was... "eeermmm ok... I thought graphics where suppose to be stunning"... Well maybe they are on PC, I dunno, but to be honest I found them average.

    On the other hand once I got outside into the huge open world, the lightning effects, the sounds, the music are great. The game is huge, the characters voice acting is great and I can see why people love this game. However, I must be picky because I didn't actually read anything that talked about how damn clunky the character handling is, it's just terrible, slow, sluggish, clunky, fustrating.

    I played this game everyday for a week, I wanted to like it, but I just couldn't get around the terrible handling and poor performance at some points (with framerate drops). Trying to explore the interiors of houses with that handling is just fustrating and boring, It ruins the game for me, and the combats just don't feel satisfying either. So I lost interest.

    I like games where the characters animation and movement and realism is polished and realistic. I like stunning graphics and intense action. Didn't find any of that in this game.    … Expand

    As I said in my Witcher 3 review: Epic game! And the first expansion doesn't fall short at all!

    All those new missions, bosses, customization options... At CD Projekt RED they know what the're are doing and I'm very satisfied of giving them my time and my money if in exchange I get such a great game and content.

    I'll spend the days anxiously waiting for the second expansion, Blood and Wine.

He reunites with Gaunter O'Dimm or the man of glass who is one of the most interesting characters in the whole game with an unexpected twist that I didn't see coming. The other new major character is the immortal Olgierd Von Everec who has a dark past that you will only uncover by playing through the expansion, his association with the man of glass provides an interesting and dynamic story full of twists and turns. Geralt also meets up with an old love interest, Shani and its your choice where everything goes from there. On the subject of game play, the new rune system offers a whole new element to Geralt's arsenal, these come in handy during the many new and thrilling boss battles littered throughout the expansion. It also opens up the Northeastern side of the map with new activities all over.… Expand

    I guess why I like this DLC better than the original from the get go is that I'm already emotionally invested on Geralt anc Co. unlike in the beginning of the original Witcher 3.

    Some people might have expected this DLC to be a continuation on the original story, but honestly, that makes absolutely no sense. If you indeed finished the whole main story, you'll see that there is no way the story could continue on the same tracks. It's a new mission for Geralt in a long line of new missions.

    Hearts of Stone DLC highlights the good and bad things about Witcher 3. The characters are really good and unique. Sometimes the storytelling is just superb. The game introduces some interesting Bloodborne/Dark Souls esk boss fights.

    But, there are problems. Don't get me wrong, I loved W3, but 2 problems with the game strikes really hard here. First one is combat system. Combat in    Hearts of Stone DLC highlights the good and bad things about Witcher 3. The characters are really good and unique. Sometimes the storytelling is just superb. The game introduces some interesting Bloodborne/Dark Souls esk boss fights.

    But, there are problems. Don't get me wrong, I loved W3, but 2 problems with the game strikes really hard here. First one is combat system. Combat in Witcher 3 is just not good enough, and thats a problem with those new boss fights, because they require precision and agility, and thats somethig you won't find in W3 combat system.

    Another huge problem is pacing. Lets think about W3. From the beginning the game sets Geralt's goal: he must find Ciri as soon as possible. Thats really odd, because in order for find Ciri and enjoy the best ending, you must do a lot of side quests that takes your time, not to mention you will killing monsters and playing Gwent, so at the end of the day you just ask yourself: "wait, this game is called Wild Hunt, and is about Wild Hunt trying to catch Ciri, but is that really a big deal?".

    The game also have a bad approach in introducing those side/personal quests. Right after you just completed a quest in the main story, some character will ask for some favor, but if you believe you have more important things to do, you won't be able to start them anymore if you a reach a point of the game that is still far from the ending. For example, after I finally found Dandelion he just asked for a help with his cabaret (!!!), but I already had new information on Ciri whereabouts and went looking for her, but I was shocked when the game told me I would lost that Dandelion quest, so I was really supposed to get involved in a cabaret quest before finding Ciri.

    Thats not something that happens will all open world games, as some say. Just think about GTA V. When you start the game you are controlling 3 different criminals in Los Santos and thats it. There is not a goal set from the beginning.

    The same thing happens here in Hearts of Stone. If Geralt is supposed to give a ghost the night of his life, at some point Geralt will be using (again) his witcher's senses to find someone lost in the woods. If Geralt is supposed to steal some kind of secret treasure, at some point the whole thing will become a family issue between two characters that have nothing to do with the DLC main story and one hour ago you dind't even know they existed and you just don't care.

    The game starts with a boss fight, and for the rest of the main quest you will be only talking to people and using you witcher's senses, before getting into 2 boss fights in the space of 10 minutes or so.

    Despite the word "expansion", its not an expasion at all, just a regular DLC. There is just not enough content. Someone might say the 10/12 hours required to complete the main plot is as long as some "full games" around, but gameplay hours doesn't mean that much. I invested around 80 hours in Dragon Age Inquisition, and the same amount of time in Witcher 3, but Geralt adventure is bigger and offer you so musch more in terms of storytelling and content, but in Hearts of Stone I just got the feeling the game was using tricks to get longer than it should have been.

    The ending was also pretty unsatisfying, and I wish the game invested more in developing its main plot, so HoS is a missing opportunity.    … Expand

What I like about this DLC the most is probably the art direction behind the characters and locations - characters look as if taken straight from XVII century Poland/Ukraine and some of the new locations are foggy and shrouded by shadows even in a sunny day what gives them a downright spooky feel. The only con I can think of is the length of the main quest which is not too long which is to be expected, after all this is just an x-pack. But still after completing it I felt a tad disappointed for a moment there - until I realized I haven't yet explored almost half of the new points of interest. Overall I feel I got my money's worth and more - the main quest may not be long but it's truly amazing and I would only stop playing when I really had to. One more thing I feel is worth mantioning: this is an end-game DLC for characters level 30+ so if you picked Witcher 3 only recently you may still have a long journey ahead of you before you see most of the content offered by Hearts of Stone - but it will be worth it.

    Hearts of Stone ads about 10 hours and tons of greatness we got from the main game, more undiscovered locations, treasure hunts, side quests, boobs, new enemies, new loot, and 13 trophies.
    This is unfortunately just more of the same, most of this dlc is more side quest feely than something that could stand on its own.
    We do however now have the ability to enchant our armor and weapons.
    The recommended level to start this dlc is 30.
    You can start the new dlc with your older save or with a premade level 32 geralt.
    Hearts of Stone Starts out with Geralt killing a giant toad, only problem is, this toad is a prince.
    Geralt is in a bit of trouble, or is he?
    He gets some help and now you have to spend the rest of the game clearing your debt by being David beckhams genie.
    You set out into the for the most part new locations to grant his seemingly impossible 3 wishes.
    You’ll end up doing a heist, find yourself in a painted world, solving puzzles, and taking on some pretty great bosses.
    There are quite a few awesome bosses, so you won’t be missing the lack of contracts too much, but these bosses are nowhere near as awesome as they are in the main game.
    Hearts of Stone in my opinions starts off a bit slow, but once you get over the initial hump 3 hour hump, the much better 2nd half of the dlc and its story will have you hooked.
    I loved the new characters introduced, I loved solving the mystery behind this stone hearted character and this mystery man that’s been following Geralt around.
    If you’re still hungry for more witcher content, grab this dlc
    For what it is

    It's so good, in fact, that I'm still eager for more. It's a good thing that the next expansion, Blood and Wine, is coming soon...
