The Dark Below, the first expansion for Bungie's shooter Destiny, broke me of an addiction. The base game had (and still has) its share of flaws, but I pumped hundreds of hours into the game across two characters in spite of those flaws. Not bad for a game that was often maligned for not having enough content.
That obsession disappeared with The Dark Below. The expansion compounded the original game's problems by making the base game's hard-won gear obsolete. It felt like the grueling, unfriendly, and often completely random leaps of progression before the expansion’s release were all completely meaningless. This knowledge was enough for me to excuse myself from those months of daily play and wait for the promised second half of the game's first season of extra content.
That second update, House of Wolves, is here, and it carries the unenviable baggage of needing to expand on the game proper while also fixing the problems its predecessor introduced.
