Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire manages to do just enough to keep fans interested in visiting the world of Tyria by adding much needed features like mounts. The new class specializations also provide new and interesting ways to play your typical MMO class archetypes. Still, Path of Fire probably won't convince anyone who wasn't already enthralled with ArenaNet's MMORPG.

In the end though, I can’t recommend Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire enough. It’s no secret that GW2 has been one of my favorite MMORPGs for the last five years, but Heart of Thorns really tested that notion for me. Path of Fire puts things squarely back in the right direction for ArenaNet’s flagship. The Mounts, the zones, the Masteries, and the story all bundle up together to make one delicious stew of gaming goodness. For $30 (Standard Edition), you really can’t go wrong. Welcome back to the best of the best, Guild Wars 2. Keep it up.

Tons of beautiful content and areas, awesome new mounts and a great story help make Path of Fire a good expansion, but the lack of features, improvements to existing elements and removing important world events hinder it from becoming a great expansion.

The story is mostly well-written and emotional, the environments are far more beautiful and varied than you'd imagine, and the new mounts change up how you play the entire game. The positives do just barely outweigh the negatives, though, making Path of Fire easily the best part of the entire Guild Wars series that ArenaNet has created.

Now, to be fair ArenaNet did promise a short gap between the expansion and the next season of the living story, but the point remains. Some repeatable content like additional fractals or raid wings would have bridged the gap better. Nevertheless, we are really excited by the direction ArenaNet has taken the game with Path of Fire, and we're very much looking forward to the next season. Path of Fire stands as a really high-quality expansion, even if the new content is relatively short-lived.

Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire continues the story with an imaginative and fun campaign filled with great character moments and a reverence for the world of Tyria that is infectious. The addition of mounts that feel more than a speed boost is a welcome one but the lack of dungeon and raid content sticks out.
