  7.8

  A strange thing to score, then, given it's drip-fed delivery, but in terms of value I have no hesitation recommending Naxx. The new cards are mostly so useful that I actually think it represents a good place for first-time Hearthstoners to start. As for how they've refreshed the metagame, well, that's a little more complex.

  Hearthstone: Curse of Naxxramas isn't too exciting for expert players, as they'll likely breeze past the content, but as a delivery system for cards, it's novel -- not to mention that all the same cards are given to every person. The bottom line is I'd love to see more add-ons like this in the future, and hope Blizzard supports Hearthstone for years to come.

  Naxxramas is an excellent addition to the core game, and an exploration of sorts to examine the potential for additional single-player Hearthstone content. While there is little replay value to the encounters themselves, the adventure provides a substantial amount of new content that spills over into ranked, casual, and arena mode and changes how you approach the game.

  Some of these cards might be a touch too game-changing, and Blizzard might end up needing to nerf one or more of them in the near future, but they’ve certainly done their job when it comes to shaking up the Hearthstone meta.

  7.0

  The solo content has its ups and downs, but it is most often fun, and also offers some welcome environmental refreshment. Things like a new game board, new music, new enemy emotes and all the trappings of Blizzard's typically lavish production values might sound trivial to some, but for those of us who have spent hundreds of hours playing Hearthstone already they are as much a part of the experience as anything else, and that shouldn't be overlooked.
