    Amazing expansion for $10, big companies with season passes over $40 have less content/ are less impressive than this by far.

Once again Geralt delves deep into haunted manors and parlays with unsavory characters - he even plans and executes a heist - much like the ones in GTA V (seriously, no joke - the whole quest seems inspired by GTA V heist missions). 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. Must buy!… Expand

    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!

    DLC to one of the greatest games of all-time. I though the base story was amazing and then I played this. The story for this sent me through a range of emotions and I consider it personally one of the great pieces of story telling in a video game I have ever experienced. There is a part in the story I will never forget. A must for The Witcher 3 fans.

    Hearts of Stone is a mesmerizing, well told, interesting story that adds around 15+ more hours to your gameplay clock, longer than most modern games. Every Witcher fan needs to play this.

    Another fine example of human pettiness and stupidity...while Konami is busy bringing back "legendary" horse armor DLC and Warner Bros selling previously free Batgirl content for ten times it's real value, CDPR releases something that blows away majority of other titles in amount AND quality of it's content, while charging it on a DLC price scale...and a cheap one at that.

    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.

    And why it works?

    Hearts of Stone acts as the perfect representation of what a DLC should be. It expands the story, the characters, themes, setting and gameplay.

    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.

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

    After completing several "modern" DLCs, I honestly didn't have very high expectations.However, this is an excellent expansion to an already excellent game.

    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

    While not as good as Blood And Wine, CD Projekt Red made the good choice of selling this expansion for a smaller price, and it pays off.

    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).

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
