    House of Wolves changes everything in Destiny's endgame. This new DLC has two great new modes with Prison of Elders and Trials of Osiris, but fails another time in story missions and some matchmaking restrictions.

    This DLC does not warrant the $19.99 price tag.

    The lack of story line, repetitive game play, and pathetic attempt on horde mode leave much to be desired. House of Wolves feels old and does not bring much to the table in the terms of new areas to explore. From recycling old areas to enemies, it does not add unto the Destiny universe other what every other game would call a side quest. Go kill x amount of enemies, kill x amount of enemies in an area, and kill x amount of enemies in another area but this time in a large amount.

    One thing I noticed, the main narrator for this story is a Queen's emissary named Petra, along with an annoying Fallen which name I could careless for. Peter Dinklage's ghost is non existent in this DLC.

    Prison of Elders is broken into 4 levels, level 28, 32, 33, and 34. All exactly the same, for one exception, boss battles and little tasks here and there in the same four arenas that you played at lvl 28.

    Trails of Osiris in a nutshell 3 v 3 hand cannon and shotgun fest of hide and go seek.

    On the positive side there are a great amount of new armor, weapons, 2 new spaceships that don't look recycled, and 2 new sparrows that looked very recycled, that have been added to the game.

    Once again, Activision and Bungie offering lack luster content. Expect Destiny 2 or what ever they call it to be announced at E3. This cow ain't going no where, still good for milking.    … Expand

    First off, the few positive reviews are way too positive to be real. They must be Bungie employees in fear of losing their jobs because theyFirst off, the few positive reviews are way too positive to be real. They must be Bungie employees in fear of losing their jobs because they know how lazily they put Destiny and its DLC together.

    This is definitely a scam. I quit playing when crucible became a lagfest and the rest of the content was clearly never going to get fixed. So many raids having to start over, bosses not dying at the end so you have to redo the whole mission, etc.

    I came back to check out HoW because I already paid to get access to it. Since I was foolish enough to preorder the digital limited edition (which happens to be the only one you can't return). I lowered my expectations drastically, but it wasn't enough.

    Not only did they not include a new raid, they had the nerve to recycle part of Vault of Glass raid and even doing the oracles part. This was one of the "new" missions. Other missions had you running from the original finish to start from previous missions. The story is even worse. The gameplay is artificially padded to make the game seem longer than it is. The ways to get better guns and armor are even more tedious than the raids were. Bottom line, Bungie is getting very cocky with how dumb they think we are. This whole DLC was a slap to the consumers face.

    Stay away. This is not worth $20. Maybe $5, but it still would be about as much fun as rolling in a pile of rusty nails.
    Bungie, and I believe I speak for many people, you ripped us off for the last time. You can take Destiny 2 and cram it back down the gutter from where it came. I am never buying another product from you again.    … Expand
