The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine Reviews
Blood and Wine is not the epic "save the world" adventure prior Witcher titles were, but that's okay. It's a fond farewell to Geralt of Rivea, ensuring your last adventure with The Witcher leaves a smile on your face.
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.
The era of DLC and Season Pass in profusion has made us somewhat hostile in the face of the expansion phenomenon, scalded too often by narrow content on sale at a disproportionate price. CD Projekt Red, on the other hand, proves to be made of completely different pasta: Blood and Wine is an expansion that, with only 20 euros, exceeds in quantity and quality the typical offer of modern titles, unable to offer the same level of content even in the main campaign.

In a time where an expansion pack is regularly nothing more than a new map or a couple of character gadgets, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine brings us something hearty and filling enough to prove that there's hope for DLC yet. Geralt's adventure in stunning Toussaint is an absolute triumph.
What’s the saying? “Old witchers never die, they just fade away.” Something like that. One thing’s for certain: The Witcher 3 is one of the best RPGs I’ve ever played, and Blood and Wine is a fitting capstone not only on it but on the whole series. I’ll miss it.
Blood and Wine is what all expansions should aspire to be, is the perfect send-off for the series, and should be loved by anyone who enjoyed the base game.
Blood and Wine was exactly the great end CD Projekt Red brought to the Witcher series and Geralt's fantastic story.

Blood and Wine is equal parts triumphant and somber, a reminder of all the great times we’ve had with Geralt and some of the shitty things we’ve done in his shoes. It’s about facing down the totality of Geralt’s in-game legacy and—instead of regretting or redoing it—coming to terms with it.
Blood & Wine is an experience that is truly bittersweet. This is the hallmark of a studio at its peak, wholly confident and with nothing left to prove, but also still committed to delivering an expansion that’s more generous with its content than some full games – and which is good enough to be a Game of the Year contender in its own right.
An excellent send-off for Geralt and The Witcher 3, and although the jokes don’t always hit home the stunning visuals and breadth of content do.
Blood and Wine is a fantastic expansion and has everything you need to get you to blow off the dust of your copy of The Witcher 3. The expansion offers more than twice as many hours of gameplay as Hearts of Stone and stands like a house in terms of gameplay. If you loved Wild Hunt and Hearts of Stone, you'll buy Blood and Wine blindly. Cd Projekt RED Geralt could not have given a more dignified farewell than Blood and Wine!

Toussant is praised and renowned for its wealth and wine, and this final The Witcher outing is like indulging in a rare oak aged red.
A triumphant return to the world of the Witcher and the most fitting of farewells. Blood and Wine is the swansong the franchise so richly deserves. An epic tale worthy of greatest theatres and even Dandelion himself!
The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine concludes Geralt’s latest saga with memorable quests, fearsome battles, and surprising wit.
If this turns out to be Geralt’s last adventure, it’s a worthy end
CD Projekt Red has raised the bar on what it takes to make a high quality story driven RPG. They did not fail to deliver on Geralt’s final tale either. If this is our last hurrah with the White Wolf it was time well spent.
Simply one of the best expansion pack ever.

Blood & Wine is hands down one the best expansions in the whole videogame history. Thousands of quests, a new fascinating region to explore, original gameplay mechanics. And it brings solid improvements to the user interface and the combat system. There wouldn't have been a better way to say goodbye to the Witcher.

Though you can tackle it at anytime, Blood and Wine is definitely CD Projekt Red's farewell to Geralt of Rivia. The great storytelling, interesting characters, and solid hunting mechanics all return in one last adventure, taking Geralt to a new region. If you've played Wild Hunt and Hearts of Stone, you owe it to yourself to experience this excellent finish to Geralt's tale.
