An amazing, story-driven adventure.
I fully recommend buying HoS if you own a copy of W3. It is an amazing, vivid, both exciting and at other times deeply emotional, adventure, which is worth every single cent (and, in fact, much more) of its price. Some elaborations, which may contain minor spoilers: I started playing W3 shortly after HoS was released. Therefore, from White Orchard onwards, I always had at least two main quests open: those connected to the Wild Hunt, and "Evil's Soft First Touches". The more I progressed in the base game, the more I was intrigued by a line in that quest's story text: "Little did he know this was to be the beginning of a great adventure, one filled with both delightful diversions and deadly dangers…" Yeah right, I thought to myself, how could any adventure be referred to like this, how could it possible compare to the grandeur, epicness, the vastness and the immersion the main and all the side quests of W3 let you dive into? Well, some time later, I was indeed delighted to learn that my skepticism had been undue: The quest's story text was indeed absolutely appropriate. HoS offers a completely new adventure, especially through its main quest, which is nonetheless connected to the main game (after all, it is in the same region, and you get to revisit Oxenfurt, which is now a very lively city indeed), or earlier games in the series (and Shani is not only adorable and pretty, but the whole interactions with her are so touching :’)). The content is fresh, diverse, exciting and highly immersive. You get not only challenging new fights, but also new, tough choices to make, and dialogues and cutscenes (of course influenced by you, the player), which are often heart-warming, and frequently highly affecting, to say the least. As I am writing this review, I have a certain feeling that I almost finished the expansion's main quest. And that makes me sad. But the adventure I experienced stays with me, and I can only empathically recommend everybody to not miss out on it.
