An interesting expansion. Adds a few nothing side quests teasing a new land but not going into it. The main plot is excellent, some of the best writing in the game but it can take 4-5 hours or more for it to start picking up.
Spoiler:
IDK if the ending was supposed to be more one sided, but olgierd was such an asshole that i feel like i got the good ending watching his soul get taken. He was such a prick that the devil seemed reasonable which is how the devil would make himself appear biblically so it makes sense tbh. Well done. Still feel like i got the good ending siding with evil incarnate lol.

Essa DLC é algo incrível para a época, onde esse tipo de conteúdo era algo mais pequeno ou apenas um minigame do jogo. A Hearts of Stone tem uma história muito legal, como praticamente todas as side quests do TW3, com personagens impactantes e principalmente um vilão fenomenal.
Foi minha segunda vez jogando, mas agora prestei bem mais atenção e aproveitei mais a DLC, já que da primeira vez eu estava jogando só pra platinar.
TW3 é meu jogo é favorito da vida e essa DLC é fenomenal. Nota 9/10.

Hearts of Stone is absolutely great, it might be the inferior expansion of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt but it's very solid nonetheless.
I was seriously intrigued by the story, it's very fascinating, and I really liked the new characters as well.
There are some new boss fights which are quite challenging, especially in comparison to the disappointingly simple boss fights of the main game.
And lastly, the setting is very interesting and unique, I absolutely love it.
The only issue I can find is that it's relatively short and lacks content. Unfortunately it's barely 10 hours long and there's no replay-ability.
Final Rating: "Fantastic" ~ 8.5/10.

Eine grandiose Erweiterung zu einem ohnehin schon großartigen Spiel. Gameplaytechnisch tut sich hier nicht viel, aber das ist mir auch relativ egal. Habe diesmal sogar den Schwierigkeitsgrad auf "Story" gestellt, sodass ich so wenig Zeit wie möglich mit den mittelmäßigen Kämpfen verbringe und mich voll und ganz der Story und den Charakteren hingeben kann.
Beides ist wieder einmal großartig. Sowohl Gegenspieler als auch Verbündete sind durchweg komplexe und interessante Charaktere und die Geschichte ist herzergreifend schön und schmerzhaft.
Außerdem hat man hier wirklich tolle Quests im Angebot, die die Geschichte auch noch spaßig zum Spielen machen. Die Dichte überragender Quests ist hier wirklich bemerkenswert. Es gibt in der Hauptgeschichte des DLCs eigentlich nur abwechslungsreiche Banger.
Insgesamt ärgere ich mich hauptsächlich nur darüber, dass ich diesen DLC noch nicht viel früher gespielt habe und kann jetzt Blood & Wine kaum erwarten.

Excellent DLC. Personally not on the same tier as base game or Blood and Wine. Nonetheless, it was great, the new characters are welcome, the wedding reception was a fun respite, and Gaunter is a villain deserving of his own full game. But it was a bit short, as was the final boss fight.
The Viper School Gear itself is worth it enough to get this DLC, I really couldn't find any other armour that looked cool on him or fit his character as much as this one.
But apart from the armour set, very fun and interesting quests, and I'm happy we get to see Shani again.
The Caretaker boss was a fascinating and cool fight, but the whole cryptic concept behind O'Dimm was even cooler. Really enjoyed this DLC.

Pretty nice DLC. Story here is great, I really like characters from this story. Main theme of this dlc "villian" is something to remember. Also the new system of enchanting gear is good, tho "a bit" expensive (you need to spend more than 30 thousands coins for max level of this and enchants alone are not that cheap)

Great expansion with a fun, interesting questline. The only issue is that I think it ends right when it starts getting really good. I just learned how powerful Gaunter O’dimm really is then I beat him by pulling him out of a pond. Like what, that’s how he dies? I feel like the dlc should’ve had a couple more hours to really expand the story into something incredible. Great dlc, but it hurts knowing what it could’ve been.
Excellently paced and written expansion that channels the best parts of the base game and gets super creative with them. All of the characters are so well-realized, especially Gaunter O'Dimm, who is an absolutely brilliant villain. I just love the plot itself as well, though It is kinda weird how quickly the Ofieri become totally irrelevant to it.
My issues with the gameplay, i.e. the combat, still persist unfortunately - which is mostly why I don't feel comfortable rating this any higher than 8,5/10 for now, maybe a 9/10 in time.
