    Hearts of Stone is an excellent DLC that adds on a new quest line that can either be played alongside the main game or afterwards as an bridge between Wild Hunt and Blood & Wine.

    The characters are again written with wit and above all interesting. The Witcher just makes you care about the characters in the game in a non-violent way and makes you think about the decisions you make. That was true in the main game, and it's true in this expansion, of course.

    The entire DLC is more or less one long chain quest. A chain quest that's branched out into several subquests that you have to do sequentially. The idea is absolutely simple, but it's not for nothing that they say "simplicity is beauty".

    The game kept me entertained for the next 15 hours or so, which is very decent. If I had to single out something from the DLC, it's definitely the Wedding quest. Seeing Geralt the Enchanter (Vladimir) dancing and simply being a simple man trying to impress Shani was just hilarious and priceless.

    Just like the original game, I rate it 10/10.    … Expand

    One could consider this a sort of short story from the book, with its self contained story, while still managing to be engaging and having a good villain (it even has references to the main story depending on if you finished it or not by the time you play the expansion).

    In short, the DLC starts off a little rough, but after that it was almost perfect. The toad Prince boss fight was poorly done, and has some issues with hit boxes, and the fact that those soldiers get there right after you kill it is a coincidence. Then, I just thought that the Mage's tornado attack was BS. But after that the DLC is nearly perfect.

    I found W3: Hearts of Stone incredibly boring. If you can play through the “Scenes From A Marriage” quest without falling asleep then you’re lucky to have such a low threshold for enjoyment of a video game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unrivaled value. I haven't started Blood and Wine yet, but as far as bang-for-buck is concerned, Hearts of Stone takes other developers to the cleaners. This little slice of brilliance fully upholds the core game's master craftsmanship, even surpassing it in some areas. The new monsters and characters are uniquely twisted and interesting, and the main/side quests are well designed and deeply engaging. With that said, I'm docking 1 point for the following reasons:

    ***POTENTIAL SPOILERS***

    1. The final "boss fight" was interesting, but completely underwhelming. Way too short and easy. I was expecting more of a challenge, especially considering how difficult the preceding quests were.

    2. There were a few inconsistencies and unanswered questions relating to the main characters and their motivations.

    3. There is one side quest that is broken and impossible to complete (which was confirmed by numerous online forums). Tech support is no longer addressing the issue, which I found pretty irritating.

    Aside from that, Hearts of Stone is DLC-done-right...very right. Hats off to Projekt Red, once again.    … Expand

    One of only two pre-orders that I ever did. I can't give it a 10 because there is Blood and Wine, but damn it's still amazingly good. It deserves a 9.5/10. In pre-order i payed only 8 euros, for a 12 hour experience. I played it slow to enjoyed every bit of it. Best deal ever.

    Let me start by saying that the story is seriously the best I've ever seen in any video game. It has everything you need:it's tightly written,focuses on a few central characters all of which have great lore and development,the voice acting and facial animations are excellent,and it blends well with the gameplay. You get more lore from side quests,there's a lot of branching options makingLet me start by saying that the story is seriously the best I've ever seen in any video game.

    The gameplay itself? It's the same as the main game,and that's good.

    More of the same boring, clunky fetch quest filled Witcher. I got the expansion hoping that with improvements to the gameplay and inventory I would come around to see what all the hype was about. Unfortunately if you didn't already love the Witcher this doesn't add anything to change your mind. If you already love it, then I guess more of the same is right up your ally.

    - Fun boss fights - New characters are interesting and captivating - Excellent plot with great emotional highs for a 10 hour game Cons: - Some of the quests, while interesting, drag on a bit too long - Lack of meaningful side quests - New equipment is somewhat limited - Would have appreciated a bit more tie-in with the story of the actual game (even    Pros:

But all i can say the main quest is creepy and all the details should be appreciated. DO IT ALL. Talk to everybody. Understand all the elements involving the main characters in this awsome adventure. Get it now if you enjoyed the witcher 3.

    Great expansion with absolutely riveting story. Even now, almost 6 months later, I can still remember the unique enemies this expansion threw at me, and the story which went from funny and goofy to downright creepy and surreal. Not only that, but the new characters are memorable and multi-dimensional, and the choice the game has you make at the end is not easy. Well worth the money!

    The Witcher 3 hearts of stone is a really awesome expansion it offers many new side quests, a new great story and new Boss fights. The Story is really great in my opinion better than the main game, the boss fights are 10 times better than in the original game and it is about 10h long.
    You should get this expansion, I mean you can't do something wrong it only costs 7or10$

    Hearts Of Stone is an amazing expansion to an already perfect game. There is a new area of the world to explore when you buy this DLC, along with tons of side and main quests. This makes me more excited for the next expansion, Blood and Wine, and Cyberpunk 2077. If you want to add more playtime to the Witcher 3, buy this game, otherwise buy MGSV, or wait for Cyberpunk 2077 to come out.

It took me awhile to get used to the multiple menu trees and seeing the slow, progressive results in combat effectiveness after slowly building skills abilities within these trees. On the graphical fidelity/performance front, frames-per-second on PS4 is a little sludgy, but I've gotten used to this in the context of the AC series and overall, if the sense of immersion/detailed "world" is there, I am willing to overlook limited performance (but that's to a point, I'll say. For instance, right now I'm having trouble overlooking the awful graphics/performance of games such as Fallout 4, though the depth of detail of stuff to explore, find, craft, do is pretty amazing). I'd say the art designers did a superb job overall, though. So many little things shine to help with immersion, such as the changing weather, time of day and getting all the little sounds of the outdoors mixed in to enhance the experience. The sound and sight of wind moving through the trees is noticed and appreciated!

    As mentioned, in terms of gameplay itself, there was a learning curve that I had to trudge through, in the beginning very low levels, to get to the good stuff...to the sense of fun. In that respect, there was a degree of trust to access that all the glowing critic/user reviews were attesting to something there that I just needed to have the patience in order to dig to discover. Again, all secondary to my lack of experience with the overall slower pace associated with RPG's. Just now (and only about 12 hours into the game! so much more fun ahead :) ) the full appreciation of what the devs have done in creating W3 is emerging. A big part of that is the superb writing. The story and side stories themselves. They are strange, magical, and unique (at least to me) in a way that I find exciting. I'm not a hardcore gamer by any stretch of the imagination, but much of the "story telling" in gaming seems a little contrived/repetitive to me. W3 is an exception, in my perspective. The fantasy story is well written and helps to drive the experience forward from mission to mission. I literally have no idea what's coming next, but am beginning to expect to be pleasantly surprised and intrigued.

    So, all in all, a long-winded way of saying that W3 is capturing the heart of a primarily first person shooter fan. It is a great game and deserving of being in the upper tier of anyone's top 10 list.    … Expand

The game was a success. Then, CD Projekt Red decided to do some DLC. But what they've created here puts most full game releases to shame. The story doesn't pick up from where the wild hunt ended, more acts as an addition. A small portion of the map opens up for exploration with some additional markers to seek out and more monsters to hunt down, but back to the story. The unparalleled storytelling continues in this dark, deep and extensive expansion, it felt as good as the story in the base game and was better, in my opinion than some full retail games. A new rune crafting system comes into place which allows you to further enhance your weapons and armour; unlimited weapon enhancement time? Sure, armour that deflects arrows? Why not.
    Basically what I'm saying here is, you can pick this DLC up for £7.99 and it's as good as the base game was, albeit not as long, I managed somewhere around 20-25 hours all in but for that price, it' an absolute must for anyone who owns The Witcher 3, it would be rude not too.    … Expand
