    Its a good campaign but seriously this mechanic is dumb and is needs to be balanced better.
    Its no secret that bungie has struggled with balancing way to much in Destiny 2. Constantly removing stuff from the game until they can be bothered to fix it. Buffing stuff to a point past "Obviously to powerful" but now enemies have ghost which respawn them with full health. Which yh would be fine    Its a good campaign but seriously this mechanic is dumb and is needs to be balanced better.
    Its no secret that bungie has struggled with balancing way to much in Destiny 2. Constantly removing stuff from the game until they can be bothered to fix it. Buffing stuff to a point past "Obviously to powerful" but now enemies have ghost which respawn them with full health. Which yh would be fine if they didn't take 20 minutes to kill and then stick to all the other enemies like glue so you can't kill there ghost within 10 seconds. Maybe they should slowly start pushing towards you at low health so then you can actually kill there ghost. Or maybe they shouldn't spawn with a full health bar. These are just obvious things that should be kind of obvious.
    The campaign isn't bad but like all Destiny campaigns, you either need to play every single 1 to fully understand the story or watch a ton of YouTube videos. I think Bungie need to work on making the game easier for new people to get into. Plus work on there story telling abilities and make each campaign easy to understand if you didn't play previous ones. Like I don't need to complete Halo Combat evolved to understand what was going on in Halo 2? The worst part is several of the campaigns have been removed from the game? Why didn't you just add an option to download or remove campaigns so you could still play them if you wanted to?    … Expand

    Really tedious and boring ... The Legendary kicks up the challenge Bungie style, but simply boring ... A lot of challenge, but very little fun. Also, solo players, avoid this like the plague.

    It pains me to admit it, but Bungie actually made Destiny fun again. Legendary campaign - very well done. Edit - new raid is trash.

    I bought this game because the Witch Queen expansion got good reviews. I found the expansion entertaining up until the final quest. That one stopped me for several days. The combat part is trivial, but the agility it demands was extremely taxing. Finally, after dozens of tries, I made it to the end of that gauntlet. To make sure my game would be saved, I finished the next objective andI bought this game because the Witch Queen expansion got good reviews.

Finally, after dozens of tries, I made it to the end of that gauntlet. To make sure my game would be saved, I finished the next objective and then logged when I saw another new objective.

    Upon returning to the game, I found myself back at the BEGINNING of the gauntlet. All my hard work was forfeit because I needed a rest and some breakfast. IMO, this is TERRIBLE game design. I won't be back!    … Expand

    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]

    I am both impressed and happy with Destiny 2: The Witch Queen. A lot of the content is very good, and there are also some moves being made that make me excited for the future of this game.

    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]
