Now, his benefactor, The Man of Glass, needs Geralt to be his debt collector, and won't take no for an answer. It's not long though before the real story kicks in, that of fallen noble turned bandit Olgierd von Everec, who wished for immortality, only to discover that every deal comes with a price that is known, and a price that is not. Here's Wot I Think, as if you haven't already guessed.Īs ever, it begins with a contract to kill a monster - one that you'll want to be Level 30 to take up, though if you don't have a suitable save, Hearts of Stone offers a custom New Game mode that switches off the main storyline quests, but boosts you to Level 32 and gives you lots of nice gear. The worst I can say is that it's 'just' more of The Witcher 3 to play, but rarely has that word more deserved its air-quotes. Taking place after the main campaign, though not at all related to it, Hearts of Stone is a ten hour tale of ambition, of regret, of manipulation, cruelty and sorrow that gets to push aside fears of the incoming apocalypse in favour of focusing deep on the series' love of finding compassion in the most cynical of situations. The Witcher III: Hearts Of Stone has a simple moral: be careful what you wish for, unless it's more The Witcher III, obviously.
