Great expansion, whose central motif is one sophisticated storyline. The only minus is worse a weaker side quest line and absence of references to the original game and its main storyline. [Issue#258]100LEVEL (Czech Republic)
A great expansion that adds to an already excellent game. Good balance between price, quality and content thanks to a great story.90Meristation
The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone wraps an interesting story and great gameplay additions into one well-rounded expansion.90IGN
First expansion for Witcher 3 is an intriguing story and a great occasion to return to Northern Kingdoms. Hearts of Stone keeps your attention from beginning to the very end, including side quests.90Eurogamer Poland
The best aspect of this DLC is its unique way to wander far from what The Witcher 3 got us used to in terms of narration. If you loved the original game, you shouldn’t miss this expansion.90Everyeye.it
The first expansion to The Witcher 3: Wild Heart is hands down the best expansion of this year.90Riot Pixels
12 hour long expansion almost as good as the original game. [12/2015, p.42]90CD-Action
Hearts of Stone is a collection of some of the best quests The Witcher 3 has to offer. Its story is cohesive; its characters are worth meeting; and the thematic diversity is worth seeing.88GamesBeat
Lots of content, full of variety and extremely will written. This is a well-done add-on for a low price.87GameStar
A marvelous add-on with a lot of contents and 12+ hours of gameplay. Perhaps CD Projekt could do something more for the secondary quests that are too repetitive.85Multiplayer.it
