I feel an urge to fix the bad reviews. Gamers these days need to be led by the perfect description of objective and they also are a bloodthirsty coke addicts who want to rush into battle and kill everything that moves (note due to rules: this is not an insult but an abstract description).

TL/DR, conclusion:
The DLC is A GREAT addon to the game, but it has a slower and more peaceful pace at the start. Which is apparently pretty bad for the bloodthirst addicts. The ambience, the story, the combat, all great. The timing for the DLC to appear in game is great, although it would be better for the game to inform you that by your dialogue option (which was at least marked by DLC sing) you are about to leave the main story for a while.

KCD is not an easy game which puts us back into the days where games were a challenge. Very positive move. KCD is not primitive and naive. Developers made A VERY good job in trying to be as historically correct as possible and they give you a taste of hard reality. The game is about that. You are put into the story as one of two women and it retrospectively expands the story. It is very interesting and entertaining, but there is not a lot of combat. But neither is in a base game, depending on your playstyle. And it is definitely not a liability. The game is entertaining and in the DLC there is ENOUGH combat. Actually some moments were more entertaining and properly challenging than in the base game. On the other hand, I am someone who enjoys exploring the medieval world and I spent 10 hours in prologue in Skalica... The only downside is that you can start the DLC by marked conversation option that does not inform you about leaving the base story. I think some people calling this a walking simulator is a blasphemy and they probably just did not get this game.

It was hard to put it into few words.

In short: purely awesome singleplayer positively ticking all the boxes, timeless game, very thoroughly made GTA. Great multiplayer, huge LOT of quality content, still updating after all those years. GTA Online updates are like full-time DLCs and game does NOT require you to pay a single cent more to play them.

Back in the days when Rockstar banned the most common third-party cheat for GTA Online, cheaters started giving GTA 5 bad reviews. This game did not deserve such toxic reviewing. Since then the third-party cheats started to be more complex.

Unfortunately this is a huge affliction for the game. From my experience (Central Europe) there is at least one cheater on 90% of all public sessions (servers). These cheaters are griefing, bullying, ruining the game on all fronts. Their thorough third-party cheats can shutdown your game just with a single command, which happened to me many times. Freshly, they allegedly can give on your account a permanent ban on GTA Online. Reporting these cheaters can be comfortly done via pause menu, but it feels like the justice may never come to them. Also it is hard to know who is the cheater - they may kill other players by your own nickname. You can play GTA Online alone or with your friends in private sessions but you may miss some content that appears only in public sessions.

PS: By the time I am writing this review, Rockstar recently launched new official Community Guidelines where they - among other things - emphasized reporting such bad behavior. From the new Guidelines, it seems that Rockstar Support may be more active in punishing cheaters and more helpful to the victims. Time will see, let's hope for the best.

Cheating is for cowards ♥
