    Destiny 2: Beyond Light is not a revolution in the gameplay department and world of Destiny 2, but it can pleasantly entertain you for a while – basic shooter formula of the game still works perfectly.

    Destiny 2 Beyond Light adds a descent campaign with a good narrative, and a lot of hours of play for the bravest players.

    Beyond Light is especially worthwhile if you're not demanding that many substantial changes from Destiny 2 and you're over-invested in the franchise's lore. If you're more interested in Beyond Light because you're hoping for a new era of Destiny 2, you'll come home from a rude awakening.

    Lost 75% of weapons due to sunsetting, stasis in PvP makes the game unplayable, only one new strike, a 3 hour campaign, and barely 20 newLost 75% of weapons due to sunsetting, stasis in PvP makes the game unplayable, only one new strike, a 3 hour campaign, and barely 20 new weapons to obtain. This is by far the worst "expansion" (if you even want to call it that). I can't believe I actually paid $40 for this garbage. Save your money and time. Full Review »

With the simultaneous vaulting of old content along with a minimal offering, there are fewer and fewer reasons to play Destiny. Full Review »

    Beyond light ON CONTENT! Its definitely fun for a day or 2 until you realize that you're right back to where you were before theBeyond light ON CONTENT! Its definitely fun for a day or 2 until you realize that you're right back to where you were before the expansion...with nothing else new and exciting to do. If you already have game pass, then play it. If not, it's a hard pass. Full Review »
