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.

Bungie hit a solid home run with this one.

A solid DLC that manages to inject new fun into the daily grind of Destiny. It’s noteworthy that the new strike mission feels like a lost level of Halo.

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.

House Of Wolves manages to be a well-rounded expansion with a lot to offer and content to experience. Even if that comes at the trade of having max level so easily accessible and the same recycled story environments.

House of Wolves is a refreshing step in the right direction that will keep the lights on proudly as Destiny heads into its second year.

The House of Wolves is easily the best of the two expansions currently available, only predicated by the fact you’ll need friends to play it with to explore the full birth of its features.

It’s not quite perfect, but if the improvements made in House of Wolves are any indication of the future, then I’m eager to see what kind of stuff Bungie comes up with to support and evolve Destiny next.

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.

Bungie seems to be slowly turning Destiny into the game it always had the potential to be.

Puts Destiny's first expansion to shame.

House of Wolves offers us better contents than Dark Bellow. The new PvE and PvP modes are intense, fun and full of replay value. This expansion is not going to appeal the users that doesn’t like the base game but is a nice DLC for Destiny fans.

House of Wolves is a DLC that follows the steps of the previous DLC, with some good ideas and some inexplicably stubborn design choices carried forward by Bungie. If you still enjoy playing Destiny, this is an expansion you don't want to miss. If, for some reasons, you skipped The Dark Below, aim for this one instead.

Second DLC for Destiny introduces new game modes, multiplayer maps and story missions, as well as a new social headquarters, The Reef. The main storyline is still incomplete and we miss some new mechanics.

Everyeye.it May 29, 2015
It's a strong DLC, filled with carefully crafted and replayable content. Bungie is clearly still struggling to understand its own game, and to balance between its vision and the community's desires, but this might be a step in the right direction.

House of Wolves fixes The Dark Below's mistakes. The new ascension system works well and now the Glass Vault is again useful for every Guardian. The Prison of Elders and The Trials of Osiris are bringing into the game random gameplay and guaranteed prizes, the exact opposite of the raid. But how long will this new content last?

An improvement on The Dark Below, and for those who were still playing it gives them a little more reason to carry on.

Upgrading gear is no longer quite the marathon it once was, with players able to retain the stats of weapons, and even upgrade existing gear to meet the new performance caps that have come with House of Wolves. And this really is the expansion’s biggest issue; the patch changes that are free to all are more important than the paid content.

The new expansion proves to be better than The Dark Below, but still it seems that it could've been even better.

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.
