    Who ever at Bungie wrote Stasis into the Darkness lore needs to be fired immediately. Something like a Shadow spec would have been much better than the rubbish they put out in Beyond Light.

    From a person who likes pve/collecting games, this game is not worth it for anyone who doesn't have 6+ friends that are constantly active.

For PVP shooter loving people, you'll find more fulfilling matches based on actual dexterous skill in fortnite than this game with new unbalanced weapons and abilities that devs invite. And i guess that's the point, though, since this glorified gambling machine with fps mechanics functions by people earning unbalanced weapons, killing you with them, making you want them, and then you grinding them so you could do the same thing to another unfortunate customer who bought this game. Don't waste your time and money. This very pretty but hollow dumpster fire is still a hollow dumpster fire.… Expand

    You are paying more to get less.

    'The slow but steady removal of contents' is now the grand trend of Destiny 2. I cannot quite comprehend the reason why; to add little or no new contents is one thing, nevertheless to delete already existing contents is something a rational mind cannot possibly understand.

I cannot quite comprehend the reason why; to add little or no new contents is one thing, nevertheless to delete already existing contents is something a rational mind cannot possibly understand. Yes of course, Bungie, the developers, came up with all the fancy excuses. Unfortunately, I doubt those hallow words truly convinced anyone. They were pathetic.

    Don't get me wrong. I like this game. I played a lot, and still playing to some extent. However with every patch, with every new season and expansion, Bungie somehow managed to make it worse every time. It showed their utter lack of understanding of the game. I genuinely wonder if the developers have actually ever played their game. Don't even get me started on the bloody 'Sunsetting'.

    The recent outrage has been sparked by Bungie's preposterous greed. I personally don't mind micro-transactions on items which do not affect the actual game play, such as aesthetic related items. However it does become an obvious problem if micro-transaction is the only 'contents' the developers are dedicated for. Minimal new contents. Re-used contents. Deleted contents. Glitches and bugs left out for eternity. Yet, more and more new items added on the micro-transaction section.

    Destiny 2 is slowly dying. It is still possible to revive it, however based on what we have observed so far, I would say to have any degree of hope is simply too much of an optimism.

    The 'Activision era' was far better, superior. This pretty much sums up the current state of the game.    … Expand

    Beyond Lite is the worst expansion in the Destiny franchise. Repetitive gameplay, time gated activities, and lackluster loot make this expansion the biggest fumble in 2020, and that says a lot when launched alongside that Cyberpunk 2077 sloppy mess. Destiny IP needs to be sunset.

    The game removed some old content in the original game and requires you to buy new DLC to do almost everything. Oh, and the new Beyond Light DLC is utterly crap. It's over repetitive and new map is one of the most laziness map design I ever seen. You have to backtracking A LOT to do the same thing you just did 15 minutes ago in the same area.

    Sunsetting of gear, which Destiny players hated in D1 and Bungie promised to avoid in d2; but they have now broken that promise.

    In short, it's $40 to lose a ton of content, to be replaced by boring and uninspired new content. And, when that new content is over (if you can even get through it--it's that boring), the end game is exactly the same as what players have already been doing for 4 years except with 60% less variety.

    Gone are the days when you can expect excellent content from Bungie. Destiny is nothing more than an infinite, shallow grind now.

Over the last few years, the game has had a few major bumps in the road, and ever since Beyond Lights announcement, we the player base were assured by Bungie that these issues would be addressed in what would be a significant overhaul of the core game and its gameplay mechanics. Sadly that was nothing short of a flat-out lie, seeing how none of the major issues plaguing the community for the last two years been fixed but somehow in some cases made worse.

    Destiny 2 Beyond Light has a very engaging and interesting story taking place on the mysterious ice moon of Europa. Over the course of the story, the player is introduced to familiar and returning characters, new powers, and the dark secrets left behind by the golden age legend of Cloves Bray. If I were to simply judge the story and its post-campaign content I would give it an 8/10. Although interesting and a very welcome improvement, I found the overall campaign way too short and a few of the main missions a bit repetitive. However, the main campaign is only a small fraction of what Destiny has now become.

    Once the player completes the story and post-campaign missions, that's it. Literally, that's it, there is no content nor worth wild activity to do after completing the main storyline. This is an area that Bungie has become known for and at this time gives no signs of improving. This is due to one of the biggest changes to D2, the removal or vaulting of destinations such as Mars, IO, and Titian. This has led to one of the oddest things to come out of the Beyond Light expansion other than the removal of destinations, was the removal of strikes and other PvE activities such as raids and dungeons. Strikes at one point had some of the best loot an average player could get outside of raids and dungeons whiles earning ep, materials, and other loot related objects. But this was quickly changed as exclusive loot from these strikes became near impossible to get, and by the time anyone received this loot, it was already phased out. Now although there are a few strikes remaining in the game, none of them have loot worth a dam, and the new strikes that were said to come out with the launch of Beyond light or to be added during season 13 (the current season) such as Will of Crota, The Devil's Lair, or Fallen S.A.B.E.R have yet to drop.

    As for dungeon’s and raids, truth be told I was never a fan of these activities seeing how a raid or dungeon could take upwards of five hours for the hope of getting an exclusive weapon or armor piece. However, that being said credit where credit is due. Both the Prophecy dungeon and the Deep Stone Crypt raid are very well done providing both story and challenge with decanting rewards both throughout the activities and the end. The only issue I have is that the Deep Stone Crypt raid can be a bit intimidating to first-time raid players and I find that the puzzle system is way too complex for that reason.

    Overall Destiny 2 Beyond light is an okay expansion on its own, it is a massive improvement over Shadowkeep but in the end, I have to grade the game as a whole and seeing how Bungie has not fixed any of the games major issues such as the current train wreck that classes balancing, the current PvP meta that still focuses more on time to kill and overpowered ability builds rather than skill or game proficiency, the unacceptable poor execution of sunsetting, the clear lack of playtesting or any game testing before release, and the number of cheaters/hackers still present in PvP modes after the expansion makes giving the current state of Destiny 2 anything more than a 4/10 very difficult.

    If Bungie wishes to truly fix the current state of Destiny 2, the only recommendation this reviewer can give is a complete overhaul of games PvP mechanics in order to build a proper meta and class balancing system rather than encouraging the player base to play this broken aspect of the game, a clear dived between PC and console versions of the game rather than adapting the console version to “work” on PC, a true sunsetting system in order to phase out overused and broken weapon archetypes, and to add proper seasons and in-game events rather than fetch quest events like activities such as The Dawning and boring gird seasons such the current Season 13 Season of the Hunt.    … Expand

    The endgame content is more or less a joke. People were quick to celebrate the Raid as being one of the best while infact it's just a bunch of really good set pieces with theoretically some good encounters that instead are just annoying instant-death mechanics with no real danger or skill requirement. The final boss of the raid is honestly a joke... of all things they could do and even hinted at... they did what they did. It's a travesty because it marks just how creatively bankrupt some of the people at Bungie are.

    The raid is already boring after 3 weeks and this is going to be the only new endgame content until they reintroduce a Destiny1 raid sometime next year. It's no shock that the playerbase has already fallen back down to Pre-DLC numbers.

    PvP is a travesty. Probably the worst PvP I've ever played in any game. The new abilities create some interesting options on paper but in reality exasperate existing issues while creating all new ones. Such as the Matchmaking. Never before have I seen such a mess where almost every single game is a lopsided joke round. Or how the lag can randomly make your shots do nothing or even an enemy lag teleporting around with virtual impunity.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll try to hit as many points as I can with this without spoiling much, however I can't promise their won't be spoilers moving forward. I like this expansion. It's not the best Destiny 2 expansion, but it's still pretty good. A few of the gripes I've seen are weapon sunsetting and the DCV. However, I don't agree that that should be judged in Beyond Light. This is a Destiny issue, it has nothing to do with Beyond Light. Did they mess up? Yes. But that's an issue that should be disconnected from Beyond Light. I loved the characters of this expansion. The Stranger and Variks were really good, Eramis was good, and over all this expansion had good character moments, by Destiny standards at least. Drifter and Eris were a bit wasted, but that's not too much of a loss. Stasis is really fun to play around with, but I understand the PVP side of things can get frustrating. I don't play a lot of PVP, so I can't complain too much. The story over all was fun and enjoyable. Shorter than Forsaken, but that is to be expected. Lost Sectors finally have a use other than one off quests. The end game content was descent AFTER the worlds first race. Speaking of which, I have not played the raid yet, but from what I have seen, it looks really good. Atraks-1 should have been the final boss instead of Taniks, but that's only nitpicking. The content over all was good, but maybe not enough to justify such a big purge of things. Over all: I understand why people are angry, but I think the sheer amount of good content is enough to make me happy. Sunsetting and DCV are not a Beyond Light thing. It's a Destiny thing. This could have happened during any expansion, it just so happened to happen with this one.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I gotta say this was a good try on bungie's end. However they did not clearly think this through. When you remove four planets that have resources you need to farm for in order to make purchases from banshee like upgrade modules for example. The point is if you're out of alkaline dust or phaseglass needles, there's absolutely no way to farm for them if spider is not selling them. For whatever reason why bungie decided that this was important is beyond me. Here is a spoiler for you, bungie has a chart of how many players there are on this game, and how many hours they logged in. This tells the player that they only care about you grinding your ass off. The number one goal for bungie is to have as long as possible play time for as many players as possible so they get they're recognition as a valid game on the market. Here is what I'm going to tell you bungie, you better implement other ways to get resources in the damn game if spider isn't selling them, and the only way to get those fricken resources is farming for them on a planet you removed. If you don't take care of this very soon, your going to be sending emails out to gamer's asking them why aren't you playing Destiny 2 anymore?.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All the people complaining about how their favorite gun being gone knows nothing about game design or balance. The game was getting too large and had too many op weapons. With this new dlc it gives the game life and hope for the future. The new raid guns are AMAZING and the new exotics are some of the best we have seen in a while. The new stasis subclass is great and is better now that they have released some patches . The removal of some guns has helped pvp quite a bit and I am starting to see new guns being used. If they don't change the system the game will get bland and boring. The steps Bungie has taken ensures that the game will get updates frequently and keep things balanced. The loot pool will get bigger over time we already have a pretty dissent loot pool as it is with lots of weapons feeling viable in end game content. The new raid is rewarding and challenging and some new content on Europa with a story that I am actually interested in makes this one of my favorite destiny dlcs of all time.

Many of the negative comments towards beyond light is due to “lack of content” and “is this it?” Type of comments. Beyond Light is a true sign of initiative from Bungie. They’ve really dived into the theme of building something up so effectively over time. In the first week, we discovered darkness and what exactly we could die with it along with learning about Clovis. Then when the raid launched, we found out there was so much more going on with Stasis, Clovis, and even the Fallen Houses. The raid as a matter of a fact has got to be one of if not the best bungie has made on a fun, exciting, action packed, loot filled, insane journey for every fire team to tackle. It honestly made me think back to when Kings Fall was launched. It was so hard for me and several teams but it honestly helped bring out the fun in it. Deep Stone Crypt has plenty of secrets, loot, challenges, and plenty more to entertain yourself with in the long run. All nuking a space station along with the fact of going into space to stop a fallen eco from rescuing Taniks was so badass.

    After Deep Stone Crypt was completed, so much was unlocked. The Clovis bray A.I, Lamment, New secrets to discover, new aspects, so much! There’s still even more to come as well which is insane to think about. The point is, time. Time is what an MMORPG Thrives on because it’s not a simple singlet player or once done, done forever game where everything is put on a platter in your eyes. You have to look around and discover things over time. I take into consideration some annoyance factors such as sun setting, not as many things but that leaves room for new things to come in. Better things. This is why I believe beyond light deserves more respect than some are giving it.    … Expand

    They literally charged you $40 for the biggest removal of content the game has seen so far, with VERY, VERY little content to take it's place. Entire destination planets have been removed from the game with only one new destination and about half of another old one to replace them, but the worst part is, perfectly viable weapons (THAT YOU GRINDED FOR!!!!!!!!) were sunset with no actualThey literally charged you $40 for the biggest removal of content the game has seen so far, with VERY, VERY little content to take it's place. Entire destination planets have been removed from the game with only one new destination and about half of another old one to replace them, but the worst part is, perfectly viable weapons (THAT YOU GRINDED FOR!!!!!!!!) were sunset with no actual reason other than Bungie would -really- prefer you use these other, newer guns (not all of which are new, which implies some favoritism among the devs making this decision.)

    There's a reason they pretty much built this up to be "Destiny 3" and while I do agree with the decision to build D3 in D2 instead of making a whole new game that would eliminate all progress in the current one, but they STILL somehow managed against all odds to release Beyond Light in a way that is near-equivalent to Year 1 of D1 and D2, complete with some of the worst issues those years had, which means you're gonna have to wait around at least a year for Bungie to get their fat heads out of their collective asses before this game is worth playing again.

    DON'T pay for this expansion, certainly not for the Season of the Hunt. It's not worth it unless they change some seriously mental decisions that border on straight-up anti-consumer as soon as possible.    … Expand

    Destiny 2: Beyond Light is worth the investment for existing fans of the genre and franchise. Otherwise, the best way to experience this expansion is through Game Pass on Xbox or PC.

    Beyond Light is approaching the quality of both Forsaken and The Taken King.

    Beyond Light is the first note in a dirge for Destiny 2, and major steps need to be taken by Bungie to fix the issues caused by sunsetting and content vaulting. But regardless of what Bungie’s next steps are at this point, it’s difficult to feel excitement for any future expansions given the direction Destiny 2 is headed in.
