The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine Reviews
Between its primary plot and side content, “Blood and Wine” can easily add a couple dozen hours to your overall time in The Witcher 3. Complete with its own twisting narrative, branching mission paths and endings, unique enemy types and – it has to be said again – GORGEOUS landscape, Toussaint is a fitting capping point for the amazing journey that this game has been. There’s a reason it took out top billing in Stevivor’s (and my personal) game of the year rankings. I can’t think of a better way to send off our time with Geralt than an expansion of this magnitude – except perhaps never sending him off at all.
A worthy expansion to the great The Witcher 3, Blood and Wine is a fantastic RPG on its own right.

If you're already a fan of The Witcher, there's no reason why Blood and Wine shouldn't have a place in your collection.
Geralt goes out on a high note. Developer CD Projekt Red, once again, raises the bar for every other company making an expansion pack.
Blood and Wine held all the components to make a great final adventure, but failed to truly capitalise on any one of them. If you’re looking for a good final experience to cap off your monster hunting career, go finish Hearts of Stone again – this one’s rather underwhelming.
Blood and Wine won't change your opinion of Wild Hunt.
Blood and Wine is undoubtedly the best expansion package of 2016 so far and a candidate for this year's best adjunct package. Of course it is one of the best DLCs of all time.

Ultimately, the Blood & Wine expansion rivals and bests some full AAA games I’ve played in recent memory.
It really is incredible what CDPR has achieved here, and I wouldn’t be totally averse to playing something of this size and quality each and every year. This is without doubt the greatest piece of DLC I have ever played, and I think plenty of other developers and publishers should rightly be embarrassed by their efforts after seeing this. Expansion of the year? Almost surely. Game of the year? A real possibility.
The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine signals the end of CD Projekt Red’s adventures in master-crafting an engrossing story and the exceptional world building that has been portrayed in The Witcher 3 and its last expansion.
Blood And Wine delivers a poignant swan song for The Witcher 3
Blood & Wine is so long, vast, and packed with content that it feels less like a major expansion and more like a small sequel
There is nothing to write about, Blood and Wine is a big piece of a great story expansion. A must have for fans of the series, the universe and the white-haired daredevil.

"It’s a heck of an expansion and one that provides a stellar sendoff for a master Witcher."
If we never get to step foot in Geralt’s shoes again, I’m fine with that. The time spent in his boots, the adventures had, the memories created, will stay with me forever
From the new content, to the new species of enemies, to the sprawling, vibrantly colorful world of Toussaint, Blood & Wine is the exemplar of DLC.
Blood and Wine is an expansion to raise a glass to.
Blood and Wine is perfection. It's more than a DLC, more than an expansion. The experience of Toussaint, its characters, and its stories are a testament to CD Projekt RED's caring craft in sending Geralt of Rivia on his last great contract.
