    I've played this longer than any other title in my gaming library and have had more fun with this game then ever. However, I lost a match before this review and I am a tiny manbaby who will now create an excuse to give this a low score. I will make the excuse sound legit but in reality it is a ruse to hide my utter contempt at being an average loser.

I will make the excuse sound legit but in reality it is a ruse to hide my utter contempt at being an average loser. No matter how hard I try women will not talk to me. So I will rate this game low, and I will do this to every expansion and every AAA title. My average review score is 0 because I only get on Metacritic to throw giant fits. Expand

    The new cards are awesome. The new legendaries are great. Tons of new ways to play. New mech are scary and very versatile. What else we can ask for? It's not even charged to play.

    This expansion just proves that Hearthstone is not a pay-to-win game. There are dozens of new cards very cheap to craft and easy to earn. Blizzard just proves once again how to make (fun) videogames.

    I have put a lot of time and effort into this game, and it has rewarded me with equal parts entertainment and frustration. It is also a very addictive game, to say the least. I still wish they would put more time into balancing the cards and the heroes. This game will still be here 10 years from now, mark my word.

    It's a masterpiece. As casual or as hardcore as you want to be. Business model is fair although it could get considerably unfriendly for beginners over the years. Gameplay and aesthetics are absolutely spot on. Worth the download for sure.

    Clever and well-balanced expansion, which didn’t break the original mechanics but revived them with several new packages and ideas. [Issue#249]

    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.

    Goblins vs Gnomes is a perfect add-on to Blizzard's card game. The players get 120 new cards that create tons of new possibilities when modifying or creating a new deck (and that affects the gameplay greatly). What's very important - GvG is free and right now Hearthstone could easily match World of Warcraft in terms of longevity, provided that Blizzard keeps releasing such great expansions.
