    quête long et chiant pour une récompense moindre pour des heures de jeu "jeu qui nous fait perdre du temps exprès " jeu basic histoire très court par saison raid loot peu aléatoire et toujours les même choses ensemble du jeu très répétitif il faut pas s'attendre a un jeu riche en contenu et un grand monde ouvert pour trouver des joueur bonne chance

    Best Expansion ever. Really, great Story new weapons, new weapon type, great (best) Story ever. New activities new Raid, new Locations. And finally Savathun. Great new weapon crafting and better supers

    Well they finally topped the taken king. Witch queen is special in so many ways, well done Bungie.

    The best expansion ever made by Bungie and the best Destiny has ever been.

    Exceptional work

    Such an amazing expansion to Destiny 2. Campaign is very good, especially in legendary mode. Crafting is ok, but I know it’ll definitely get improved in the future.

    I quit destiny after Beyond Light because of how painfully average it was.

    Easily destiny’s best expansion to date (yes it’s better than the taken king and forsaken). The campaign is one of the best experiences I’ve had in any game, the throne world is a brilliant new location and there is so much post-campaign content to delve into. This easily earns a 10/10 score.

    The best campaign Destiny has ever had. Weapon crafting is fun and there is so much post game content to unlock. The new subclass and orbs of light changes are a refreshing change for build crafting. Cant wait for the raid!

    Compared to all other Destiny expansions, Witch Queen soars past all of them.

My experience is based on the legendary difficulty which provided much needed but satisfying challenges to the campaign. Due to said difficulty, engaging in the the combat systems (especially Void 3.0) makes every victory that much more satisfying. The reward structure for each section of the mission also allows you enough upgrade modules to boost your favorite weapons so you're not stuck using blues all the time. Also, the campaign feels like a real campaign. You're not blocked every other mission doing random busywork when you want to get back into the action. Lastly, the story is shown to you instead of being hidden in some flower you need to pick up in some random corner of the map. The raid hasn't been released at the time of me writing this, but honestly it doesn't need to be. Even if the raid is just mediocre, the content on day 1 is still enough to say it's the best thing Destiny has ever put out.… Expand

    Best campaign since Oryx , loved the legend difficulty. The new areas and quest after the main campaign are gorgeous. I hope the raid will be as nice as the Rest. Props to Bungie!
    But pls give us more pvp maps!

    This is the best destiny campaign yet. The missions are varied and interesting. There are great reveals and story moments. The legendary version makes it fun and interesting. The glaive is insanely fun and I love smacking people with the stick. Crafting makes me so interested in continuing to use weapons to rank them up perfectly. GG Bungo you did great.

There is so much to do and grind for in the newest expansion, I've put ~100+ hours into it already and still have MORE things to do. Destiny is Genuinely entering a new era.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Literally the best DLC ever made for Destiny! Great campaign, old style Destiny with some great news like weapon leveling and crafting for your favourite rolls, great the idea of making an heroic mode for the campaing to get important material for crafting, void 3.0 is a great refresh! So many good things and so beautiful! I feel like playing Destiny like I used to do long time ago, when it was something new. Great job Bungie, can't wait to play the raid!… Expand

    This used to be a decent game, not without its problems, but decent. Now, they've removed the game. You start at max level so all that's left is "endgame" and I've yet to see any game that has an endgame worth messing with. There's just nothing left to do and no point.

    I am very disappointed. The game feels emptier than ever. Most of the good stuff is free anyways (void 3.0, gambit remodel, strike rotation). I don't feel the urge to explore the throne world. The campaine is probably worth it but I do not like the story anyways. After all it's up to you if you want to support them. The new weapons are simply not worth a look.

    More disappointment from bungie. They flat out lied about the scaling difficulty options (they just made it harder with more spongy mobs when grouped and added a legendary campaign and that's it) or they don't understand what it is and what we want. It's pretty much exactly the same, just a new zone. The crafting system is incredibly mediocre. The innovation they promised is not there.More disappointment from bungie.

    This is the best state Destiny 2 has ever been in. The campaign for The Witch Queen is outstanding as is void 3.0. Weapon crafting needs some work but the campaign and content is amazing. Highly recommended.

    Very substantial improvement over the weaker showings of Shadowkeep and Beyond Light, especially in the campaign department.

    Destiny 2: The Witch Queen expands, improves, and refines everything that already works extremely well, proving that this game as a service is still far from exhaustion. Moreover, it offers an engaging new journey, important revelations, and a turning point that only builds on promise for what lies ahead.

    I’m admittedly still a bit lost when it comes to how all of the upgrade systems, subclasses, and secondary objectives and tasks work. And I’m sad that — as usual — I’ll miss out on the new raid mission for lack of being able to schedule a big team of friends to get together for multi-hour play sessions. But perhaps this is just the cost of doing business as a casual Destiny player.

    More than a collection of new gear, The Witch Queen is a significant moment for the story – and, to a lesser extent, the mechanics – of Destiny. [Issue#13, p.80]
