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.

So good that it is sad to complete it

I've been playing video games for 20 years now. In recent years I figured out that I value those games that trigger emotional responses. Blood and Wine ( and original Witcher 3, for that matter ) is one of those games. I've spent most of my time with this DLC with a smile on my face. Blood and Wine contains a solid 20 hours of gameplay that is filled with lore, fun moments, challenging fights and genuinely good story. Your experience may vary if you haven't read the original books, but still, this is probably the best expansion I've seen in my entire gaming life.
