I didn't think Bungie could mess up the missions any more than they did in The Dark Below, but they did, somehow. House of Wolves is an ok expansion, nothing special or great about it except The Reef. We didn't even get a raid from it. And the arena thing (I forgot what it was called) where that Vandal that's in The Reef is like the commentator, that's a peak gamemode.
Also the final mission where you fight Skolas is like a core memory for me, i don't know why. It was a fun mission though.

Destiny's second major DLC was...a bitter pill to swallow. While the campaign offering was significantly improved, offering some of the most engaging missions the game had yet scene, with a story and lore that was actually pretty interesting (if you bothered to read it on the grimoire cards outside of the game), the lack of a Raid is a sore spot on this expansion, lacking the one thing that defined the Destiny experience. The Prison of Elders was a reasonably enjoyable substitute, offering a more accessible activity and gear grind that was relatively well balanced. The higher difficulties of this were also just as hard, if not moreso, than the prior Raids had been, but that was mainly due to the higher enemy damage, resistances, and tight timing windows on boss mechanics.
For many, this expansion was an abject failure, but as a fan of the Destiny lore, the narrative presented kept me engaged at least, hoping for the day when Destiny would finally hit it big. Luckily, that wait was almost over.

Better than Dark Below however still lacking in a variety of aspects. The expansion really just didn't do much for me and considering how short the whole experience was it didn't feel like a expansion by the end, more like a few story missions. I have more to say here than The Dark Below probably becuase I saw potential in it more than the other expansion. Overall it ended up being alright and a definate improvement on the last expansion. Decent DLC.
