The second expansion to Witcher 3 - Blood and Wine, is a multi-hour adventure that expertly mixes all the things we know and love with very interesting novelties. The new land is breathtaking, the story and characters are enchanting and the interface finally is almost perfect. Every story needs an ending and this one is one of the most satisfying ever.

Blood and Wine is a massive expansion, and with content strong enough to stand on its own two feet, realizing it’s merely an addition to what is otherwise considered one of the best games ever is just a cherry on top.

An absolute joy to play. The addicting and engaging gameplay dynamic with battles, exploration of the monastery and teaching never got old despite the four playthroughs I went through. The music was beautiful with a wide range of tracks and the graphics though not groundbreaking, were great. Characters, for the most part, felt well developed and interesting especially post time skip and I never had an issue with anyone's voice acting. There's very little to criticize in my opinion however this was my first fire emblem and really first strategy game so I could see long term fans having some gripes with the game. For example, the masterclasses even to me felt a little undeveloped and there could be some more maps to battle on. I could also see some people getting tired of the exploration and teaching systems, although personally I never did. My only real complaint would be the S tier supports or marriages as it felt like a missed opportunity to further develop your relationship with your desired partner. Also, I noticed there weren't many same-sex options for male byleth, didn't affect me but I know that will disappoint some people. Overall though, fantastic game and I highly recommend it.
