Better Than The Base Game
Hearts of Stone is exactly what a DLC should be: It keeps what was good about the base game & expands upon it in its own (relatively) self-contained package. The story & characters are phenomenal. HoS's tale is the pinnacle of the folk horror of the Witcher, with characters like the Caretaker and the antagonists pushing the bounds of what the player may have previously thought possible in this world. The primary antagonists - Olgierd Von Everec and Gaunter O'Dimm - are leagues more interesting than Eredin or the Wild Hunt. Olgierd is clearly a very flawed individual, but he is also well-spoken, principled, & charismatic. I understand his motivations and decisions, flawed as they may be, understand how he became what he is, and sympathize with his loss and regret. O'Dimm, on the other hand, is a terrifying, supernatural force of nature wearing the thin veil of an unassuming merchant of mirrors. He is dark & mysterious, evil in the truest sense of the word, & the unknown only leaves one in doubt as to what the limit of his power may be - if it even exists. If I had to make one critique, the new upgrade system is a bit borked from a balance perspective - by the time you can afford the good Runes, you don't have much game left to use them in.
