A Transformative Experience

Let's put aside the amazing mechanics of the graphical fidelity{current year 2016} and artistic creativity and color of the beautiful and striking world this game is set in, and take a moment to appreciate the maturity and complexity that is the writing for this game. This game will make you laugh out loud, and cry out loud, and it will force you into situations where you must think complexly about the characters with whom you are dealing. It confronts you with the realities of violence and the short and long term consequences of tough decisions. It examines ideas of how much impact and responsibilty one can have in a flawed and war-torn world, and does so so casually that you hardly notice you are in the presence of the great philosophical debates during dialogue choices that can affect both the overarching plot of the world and individual characters' lives and well-being. This game has choices that have real impact, and ones that don't. Just like real life, you can affect someone in a way that changes their life without even realizing it at first. This game will surprise you and shock you, and if you become invested in the characters(if you're not a hard-hearted cave-troll) then it will even move you. This game is mature--it doesn't shy away from violence or sex and tells its story completely fearlessly. No political sensitivities seem to make their way into the narrative, as story is prioritized over what is safe, though it also doesn't make any attempt to be 'edgy' or offensive on purpose. It simply tells a fantastic story, and that's it. All in all I enjoyed every hour of my experience with this game, and appreciated the themes and ideas explored as much as the gameplay and beautiful scenery I am certain you can find many others laud in other reviews. Furthermore, the story added to the game in Blood and Wine is extremely refreshing given that Toussaint is not a war torn nation, and paints even more color and a little more light into the game's world.

Normally sequels cost full retail price

But Blood & Wine is different. There's about 20 to 30-hours of playtime added by this expansion alone. And in many ways it's more than a mere expansion. Where Hearts of Stone delivered the best story of The Witcher 3, Blood & Wine gives us the best region. Toussaint uses a new lightning system which looks absolutely gorgeous. At times it feels like you're walking into a fairy tale world (one time literally). New Witcher mutations are added for further build variety. New monsters. New Witcher equipment. New quests. New parodies on old medieval folktales. The most beautiful city in an RPG yet. Blood & Wine genuinely feels like a sequel with the way it improves the base game. It even added a new, better UI that now applies to the base game. And of course it's accompanied by CD Projekt's top notch side quest design. The only downside I can think of is the main quest doesn't quite realize its full potential. It presents some political commentary on feudal politics (much like the base game), but that stuff withers away by the end. Story's still decent, but not on par with Hearts of Stone. An absolute high point of what was already one of the best RPGs of its generation. Everyone who loved the base game should play Blood & Wine.

Definitely Earned GOTY

I’ll try to keep it brief cause this is 4 yrs old, I didn’t get around to playing it until 2020, + there’s been A LOT of reviews & praise for this game already. An expansion up against full games, won best RPG of 2016. It’s easy to understand why. It doesn’t just expand a bit either, it’s virtually a sequel. It could have been called The Witcher 4 & I wouldn’t bat an eyelid. It adds to the skill system to allow you to customise your mutations, even adding additional slots & hybrid mutations. It adds housing, 1 house, but you can do some minor decorating with the weapon & armour stands, you can upgrade it, giving you a weapon & armour bench to enhance your gear, there’s a bed that gives you some buffs when you sleep in it. It adds grandmaster Witcher gear, although I’m not too fussed about stats it did have some aesthetic changes that I liked. Naturally it adds a new place for you to explore & it’s pretty big. It mixes things up a bit by introducing new enemies, some of them are just enhanced versions of vanilla creatures, some are unique & require a new approach, so they weren’t just reskinned which was nice. The narrative was really damn good. Like with the base game your decisions do have an impact primarily towards the end but it’s a pretty big impact with at least 3 different outcomes. Where I actually think it stands out the most though is the visuals. The graphics didn’t improve per se but the environment of Toussaint is just exquisite. It’s so damn gorgeous I just found myself stopping and taking in the sights a lot. It was so lush & vibrant, beautiful vineyards, farms & forests complimented by beautiful beaches, creeks, lakes & rivers. The cities were also divine, even the villages were mostly nice. Do yourself a favour & get The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project mod before playing. I really didn’t want this to end at all & feel kind of empty now that after 5 years of having The Witcher 3 installed, across 2 different builds, I kind of have to let it go.
