Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns Review | IGN

IGN:

In an age when too many MMORPGs rely on the same old formula, Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns does a commendable job of evolving the gameplay that's made it so popular over the years. When it stumbles, it's in its ostensibly open-ended mastery progression that's more set in stone than it seems, and in its heavy group and dynamic event focus that doesn't always jive with empty maps. Even so, it does a good job of overcoming these shortcomings with an entertaining story, a fun new class, generally attractive elite specializations, and a new vertical focus on exploration.
