Good expansion for those who enjoy PvE, not much changes in terms of PvP or WvW. Some new specializations change the available classes greatly and definitely create an alternative play style. Definitely worth it if you're a fan of the franchise.

This is a great game once you figure out how to use Guilds, upgrade your weapons and armor and us crafting.

Great expansion to Guild Wars 2. It's elite specializations really changes up the way classes play. The new areas are fun and there are new ways to traverse. While dungeons can still be very frustrating, Arenanet has gotten better at making them especially when compared to their earlier forays into making dungeons that doesn't require the trinity system.

I got this game during the first year it became available. As time went on, it became something of an obsession, then a routine and it started fizzling out for me. But this expansion adds a whole bunch of newer things to do, but be warned: if you want to achieve them it could turn into a renewed obsession!

I've been playing Guild Wars since about 2012 and decided to buy the expansion. The expansion breathes new life into Guild Wars 2 and you have even more things to do. More quests, more story, more powers- I haven't had this much fun on GW2 in a long time!

I bought this as a gift for my partner and at first he wasn't too thrilled with the expansion to GW2. After playing a few more days he told me he really like the update and was really enjoying it. He is not sure why it has been getting such bad reviews.

I had only been playing guild wars 2 since March before I decided to buy Heart of Thorns, and I still had a lot of the original content to deal with. Now there's so much to do! also i love not having to pay a monthly fee ;)

The additional content in the world is a nice change from the old endgame grind. The gliders and the upward mobility of the new zone are a nice change of pace as well. Can't really comment in the new class since I haven't given it a shot yet, but the new specializations are a good opportunity to dust off old characters I haven't played in a long time.

This is a very good game. It takes some time to learn everything (guilds, farming and crafting) but is a good game.

Heart of Thorns actually is the first major expansion for Guild Wars 2 (a sequel to an older game that focused more on tactics and strategy with a great story line). With this, you get the base game for free which is a deal all on it's own. The game has a campaign for both the base game and Heart of Thorns along with "Seasons" 1-4 that push the plot forward and have gotten better every time. There are dungeons and raids as well with "max" level gear available to everyone with cosmetic "legendary" gear for those who want to earn them.
The game has multiple modes for both PvE and PvP players and everything you get in the base game is included along with all the new areas and any future patches. There is no subscription fee so once you buy it you can play as much or as little as you want for no extra cost. Well worth the asking price if you enjoy MMO's.

Been playing this game since day one. Played the original guild wars and got into the beta for guild wars 2. The expansion pack was the obvious way to go when it came out and love the new build.
