The main plot of “Blood & Wine” is quite strong and features memorable characters but some critics believe that the “Hearts of Stone” DLC has the better and stronger story of the two and also features a more interesting villain.
Although the content of “Blood & Wine” is huge, it is not perfect. The loading times for the DLC are agonizingly long, which can actually kill the game’s pacing, especially after dying a couple of times.
Another downside is the huge amount of pop that “Blood & Wine” suffers in the PlayStation 4, with plants, animals, buildings, and people, just appearing out of thin air not too far away from the game protagonist. It constantly draws the eye of the gamers, especially when it is something large like a big tree with white blossoms.
However, these are considered minor issues because the bottomline still remains that CD Projekt Red has raised the bar for what a true DLC can be with “Blood & Wine.”
The sheer quality present in “Blood & Wine” is really astounding, from the artwork to the acting, and if some of the problems are fixed, it’ll be close to being perfect.
Having “Blood & Wine” as the series finale of “The Witcher” video game series also means that the franchise is going out on a high note that befits the high standards of the game that have been set over the years.
