House of Wolves makes even more addictive a game that was addictive already, flattening the way for September's expansion. Watch out if you enter the Reef: you may not leave.
House of Wolves adds many of the tools that Destiny needs to be successful in the long term. It gives players more content than ever, while still keeping old content relevant. It strikes a new balance between PVE and PVP end-game activities. But at the end of the day, this is still Destiny—and Destiny is nothing if not polarizing.

Overall, House of Wolves is a worthwhile expansion. The Prison of Elders adds a new, challenging activity that has levels of difficulty suitable for a variety of skill levels. The story missions don’t expand the universe greatly, but expectations on that front seem a bit tempered after the disappointment with The Dark Below. Finally, more variety in the crucible and strike playlists is always welcome and will hopefully bring back lapsed players so there will be more people to play with and against. If you haven’t already been drawn in by Destiny, this expansion won’t offer you anything that will change your mind but it helps round out and spice up content for those who are already invested.
What came out on the market is undoubtedly a DLC of great quality that far exceeds its predecessor and will give the hardcore fans hours of entertainment and rekindle the fire of enthusiasm that went dying.
The new modes feel designed to give cooperative and competitive-minded players new challenges to tackle, which is great if you’re a dedicated player who has already logged dozens of hours playing the core game. On the other hand, casual players will feel left out with the continued lack of matchmaking, and those hoping for a more robust chapter in Destiny’s story aren’t going to feel fully satisfied fighting through Skolas’ rebellion.
Both Prison of Elders and Trials of Osiris are welcome additions to the formula, and are the real reasons to invest in the DLC – even if the asking price remains a little too steep and the title's core problems persist.
Bungie took a rooster, slicked its hair back, and dressed it up as a human. House of Wolves is the Chicken Boo of video game DLC.
Honestly i love the reef, all the new activities and the new guns and shaders! The amount of content is amazing! Even the voice acing and cut scene at the beginning add allot to the story. Im very happy with my purchase! :)

HoW introduces some kind of cool stuff, but overall it's just more of the same. I love Destiny because I guess I love grinding stuff. 7/10 because the expansion doesn't introduce anything really new. Just $20 of the same mobs, slightly different looking gear, blah blah.

An expansion that is better than The Dark Below, but still falls short of earning your $20. House of Wolves isn't as superficial as most of the rest of Destiny, with characters doing a better job of explaining what's happening. My real annoyance is the lack of the Queen's involvement in this expansion that is directly involved with her. She was the most interesting character of the core Destiny experience, and she's mostly MIA here. This expansion is good enough to keep you busy for a while, but a $10 purchase would seem more fair. With a major update en route this fall, it's do-or-die time for Bungie. If the studio can't deliver, this game will likely fade into the background - a real problem since Activision intended it to be a 10-year experience.

House of Wolves is bad DLC, but does a better job than The Dark Below by allowing the story for Skolas be more fleshed out than even the "story" for the base game. The Prison of Elders is a cool idea, but is very tedious and makes the grave sin of making only certain light levels and weapons the only viable way of beating the endgame goal of Skolas himself. Add to that a PVP mode called Trials of Osiris and the DLC is still subpar and weak for what is given. If there was any hope or fire Bungie tried to kindle for the first year for Destiny, it had thrown most of its player base into the pits and threw scraps for those left to survive.

Summary Expand your Destiny adventure with a myriad of weapons, armor, and gear to earn in new story missions, 3 new competitive multiplayer maps, and a new cooperative Strike. Expansion II introduces a new competitive elimination mode in the Crucible and an all-new arena activity – The Prison of Elders. The Reef is open. Join the Awoken and hun...
