Lightfall takes place in a new city on Neptune, Neomuna, which has a pristine and retro-futuristic design. As for the fifth subclass that was briefly seen, this new Darkness power is called Strand and allows for new traversal methods in Neomuna. The city is inhabited by a new race known as Cloudstriders, who managed to escape The Collapse of the solar system and remain hidden from the Darkness. With The Witness having discovered the city, it has come under siege from Calus, the Shadow Legion, and gigantic Pyramid Demons that can use a scythe to attack from a distance and drain your life-force.… Expand

    Lightfall is exceptional, it is the culmination in a way of everything Destiny has been building toward. Many have said that, although Lightfall is gearing us toward the end, it feels like a new beginning. Both thematically and mechanically, Destiny 2 is the best it has ever been. A year ago, we saw a new Golden Age coming. This year, the Golden Age is here...With Lightfall, and everything else happening in the game right now, Destiny 2 is reaching the scope of Bungie's ambition. I had a blast with Lightfall, I am continuing to have a blast with Lightfall, and I truly cannot wait to see where this story goes next.

    Bungie’s latest expansion elevates Destiny 2's power fantasy to a new high and carves a more clear and concise path to its endgame than ever before. Despite a campaign that lets down fans of a narrative nearly a decade in the making, it still reigns as one of the best looter shooters out there.

    The Destiny 2 Lightfall expansion trips at the starting gun and falters almost the whole way through.

    Destiny 2 Lighfall is nothing more than a prologue to The Final Shape. Bland and without a strong narrative, the expansion clings to the rare presences of the Witness, legacy of a huge expansion like The Witch Queen. Sorry to say, but the best version of Destiny 2 gameplay for intuitiveness and quality of life is what saves The Eclipse from a nasty meltdown that would have made much more noise than this. In a year Bungie will fire its last shot in the barrel for the Saga of Light and Darkness and then we will be able to sum up a ten-year journey.

    From bizarre difficulty balancing to a poorly written story, Lightfall has a lot of misses. However, it also makes a lot of good changes that enhance the general gameplay like with Strand subclass and the accessibility of buildcrafting. It isn't the worst Destiny 2 expansion, not even close, but it is also far from being great.

    With a disappointing campaign, Lighjfall astonishes by not repeating the feat of The Witch Queen right off the bat. While it has been made clear that explanations will come as the seasons of 2023 progress, there is no denying that the quality of the plot is disappointing. However, everything beyond the main story adds to the Destiny experience. The new subclass offers interesting possibilities, while updates to mechanics such as those involving Champions and quality of life improvements provide refreshing and compelling content for both long-time players and those new to the series.

    This is not the penultimate chapter in Destiny's decade-long story anyone wanted, but even without everything weighing on its shoulders, Lightfall still disappoints.

The Story and narrative are a big let down, and even after all the side quests done, you're left with a huge amount of questions. But the gameplay is really good, strand is really fun and feel well balances with all of the other subclasses (not like stasis at launch). The overall content of the DLC including Raid, Events, Weapons and exotics is pretty good, even if Neomuna feels a bit empty. Get this DLC if you are a regular Destiny player, you cannot be disapointed, but if you're only interrested in the story, wait for the Final Shape, or at least for some seasons to come out.… Expand

Strand is the best part and it is just so so...would have been better had one earned it in 30mins or less at the beginning vs grinding the entire campaign to get it.

    The broader shift to nickel and diming players at every chance has led to terrible quality and looking at us players as another dollar vs respecting our time and earning our money with good content. Seems like the problems we thought were ATVI driven have being driven by Bungie all along.    … Expand
