    Still addictive, still entertaining. The first big set for Hearthstone hit the spot. Against all grim forecasts the massive amount of random cards didn’t hurt the game. Thanks to the GG expansion new game packs are created and the old ones are edited, which makes the game better and better.

Past level 16 or so your chances at winning a PvP are generally dependent on how many legendaries you have = how much $ you've put into the game. Which is fine, but games like TF2 solved the F2P model without giving other players an unfair advantage.… Full Review »

    It really decided to double down on the super aggressive games that quickly stale.

    I predict that in a few weeks, a handful of the cards will take a massive nerf. or maybe a few months.
    I'm pretty sure some of the cards are intentionally insane just to sell card packs.    … Full Review »

It's not really a proper expansion as in more modes, story, features etc. but rather just new cards available in the main game. More cards, that can't be bad right? Wrong. Especially if those cards are armies of annoying robots and hordes of crazy goblins throwing dynamite everywhere. The problem I have with GvG is that it seems to be infecting the core of Hearthstone pretty significantly, the fact that everyone is using it is ok, that's everybodys choice, but GvG is even forcing it's way to Arena for example, as of now, the only type of pack you can win in Arena is GvG which I don't want, and as the entrance is paid, it made the entire Arena useless for me and I have to buy normal packs, which is not fun at all. I also don't like the atmosphere of those cards, I see Hearthstone as a good fantasy, and all those mechs and robots doesn't suit that at all. So many cards are either annoying or their effect totally random, which even more increases the element of luck rather than skill. There are still couple of cool cards here and there and in this type of game, more is always good, but I just really really don't like the theme of this pack, hopefully it was the worst for the start and from now on all new expansions will be only better. 3/10… Full Review »
