    Curse is a 20$ expansion for Hearthstone that doesnt offer much in terms of replayability or fun. Essentially you pay to be able to grind and get a set of cards which are notably overpowered as of August 2014. If you do not pay, you will face players with those cards and they will annoy you greatly.

    Arachnid Quarter, Plague Quarter, Now Military Quarter. All of these are attempting to present unique fights, but instead of using strong, balanced decks, most of the fights and bosses feel like gimmicks. There's no fun in those fights, they are either pushovers or ridiculously frustrating (as in the case of invulnerable death knight). At no point does it actually become "Fun".

    The AI is not good, it just has no idea how to play those decks successfully. It would be much more fun if players were allowed to roleplay bosses "Arena style".

    The "Epic" challenges are just ridiculous exercise in "concede>concede>concede" till you draw your perfect deck. And guess what? Defeating those bosses does nothing, there's no reward

    To conclude, for 20$ you get 4 wings (1 free), each one less than an hour content that you are unlikely to ever touch again after getting the reward.    … Expand

    Rubbish as their usual stuff nowadays. Do you like boring grinding as replayability or being milked for money? Then actiBlizzard is the right company for your games. I still cry a little everytime I think of blizzard pre WoW.

    Unstable connections + rigged win/lose system. The more you pay - the more lucky card draws you'll get. Also a lot of bots that play withour mistakes, farming gold/rank/arena.

    Curse of Naxxramas adds a new magic to Hearthstone. [Oct 2014]

    'Curse of Naxxramas' is an expansion positioned towards more seasoned players, acting as welcome respite from the climb of the Ranked ladder or the unpredictable gauntlet of the Arena, and rewards with powerful cards you'll keep using long after it's over.

    The single-player feels more like a puzzle, but the new cards make this essential for vets. [Nov 2014, p.69]
