    The excellent story campaign, which is an audiovisual feast, can now be played on a higher difficulty level. This is challenging enough for even experienced players, but never frustrating. For those interested in getting into the raid early, it's also a welcome way to avoid a lengthy grind in the pursuit of a desired level. [Issue#318]

    The Witch Queen is not only the best and most complete version of Destiny 2, it's the foundation for something better still.

    If you’re not familiar with Destiny, it all probably sounds pretty overwhelming. That’s because it is. Destiny 2 has a dumptruck full of mechanics, concepts, and items, and it will take you a long time to figure everything out. What’s important is that getting to the light level cap, or doing the raid, or maxing out faction rep isn’t necessary to have a good time. The game still plays phenomenally, and the balance the new activities strike make The Witch Queen an ideal place to give Destiny 2 another shot. It worked for me, and well, if you knew exactly how much I’d grown to despise helium coils and faction rep, you’d be shocked I came back at all. But come back I did, and I won’t be putting Destiny 2 down for a very, very long time.

    The Witch Queen seems to be one of the best additions to Destiny 2 right now. The local story campaign is definitely unmatched by previous expansions thanks to the varied gameplay and location design. But only a veteran of the game will be able to fully enjoy the plot, and for a beginner, half of the names and terms will remain an empty phrase. Is this a good entry point to Destiny 2? Barely. But the campaign gameplay can captivate them both, as it juggles playstyles and places entirely new demands on combat skills on Legendary difficulty. This is not a full-fledged single-player action yet, but something very similar to it. All the more interesting in which direction Bungie will go and what the finale of Destiny 2 will be.

    Where Beyond Light and Shadowkeep felt like foundational expansions, The Witch Queen is the fully realized, feature-rich pay off that players have been waiting for. While it's easy to see that PvP is still comparably neglected to PvE, a superbly focused campaign, an excellent raid, and reinvigorated Void subclasses are just a few of the inclusions that build The Witch Queen up as the best Destiny expansion thus far.

    This is Destiny 2’s best campaign, and one of the best in the genre if played in the highest difficulty.

    This is a good expansion, a solid foundation for the next year of updates, and a lousy place for newcomers to start. [Issue#370, p.108]

The craft system, as always new, is a little annoying because you can acess and do everything you want, but that's the way it is, you have to conquer everything. The exotics is finally powerfull and interesting, the destination are beautiful and fun to play. Good job, Bungo!… Expand

I amThis is an amazing game, the new witch queen campaign is jacked and the new legendary campaign is great for hardcore players like me. I am amazed by the way they have picked up weapons and brought them back from the dead. PVP is a much better experience now that op weapons have been nerfed though the last word remains. Pvp is going to get much better now that Bungie is giving PVP some love. I can trust Bungie they have always lived up to the hype in recent times and have never fallen back on a promise, ever since the darkness of Activision destiny 2 has expanded and embraced the MMO RPG genre. now weapon crafting is so smooth and balanced it's amazing. good job Bungie… Expand
