Blood and Wine is an example of an expansion that takes advantage of providing top-notch new content. The whole expansion is an adrenaline rush, reminding me of the intense pacing of Wild Hunt's final act. It also has plenty nods to Geralt and his friends that longtime fans are sure to enjoy. You never know when a past character may make an appearance or be mentioned. The world has so much depth and excitement; Blood and Wine is a great way to spend your last days as Geralt.

It's pretty easy to recommend Blood and Wine. Simply put, if you liked what came before, buy Blood and Wine. If you didn't (or are simply burned out from playing too much Wild Hunt), more of the same game isn't going to change your mind. However, at...
Out of all the games that I have played this year so far, there hasn't been a game that has been such a surreal and amazing experience as Playdead's newest game Inside. To sit here and explain everything about this game would be a huge disservice to...
I think it is fair to say that many add-on content for games never reach the days of old PC gaming, a time where expansion packs were a meaty piece that offered a substantial growth on the original game. CD Projekt Red made statements about the season...
Our review of Hearts of Stone mentioned that it was a shining example of how to create meaningful downloadable content, and yet Blood and Wine manages to top it in nearly every way imaginable. From a deceptively deep and emotional main narrative to a number of mechanical additions that make playing as Geralt even more of a blast, CD Projekt Red has truly outdone itself here. It’s difficult to think of any reason for those who enjoyed The Witcher 3 proper to pass at the chance to explore the beautiful region of Toussaint.
I’m sad to say goodbye to Geralt, especially since we've just got an entirely new flavour of a world that shows no signs of becoming stale. As PT Barnum famously said: "always leave them wanting more". CD Projekt does just that.

All in all, Blood and Wine is a fitting swansong for The Witcher 3. It's a playful goodbye, but also a testament to what made the series so good in the first place. It brings a vibrant new perspective to the world of The Witcher while remaining true to the gritty, medieval P.I gameplay that made it great in the first place. It's an emotional yet mirthful fairytale; one every Witcher fan ought to experience.

As the latest volley of fire in CD Projekt's war on poor DLC, Blood & Wine makes quite a statement. It's the last story they plan to tell about the titular Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, and one of the best they've ever done, if not the best.For those of us...
