    Strand subclass is incredibly fun; Great reason to come back to Destiny 2.
    Bad- Can feel like it lacks cohesion with the existing game; Some specific gameplay moments lack the necessary punch; Underwhelming story. Thoughts- Destiny 2 has some of the best gunplay and combat abilities in the genre. Lightfall doesn’t change that, and anyone who has played and enjoyed Destiny 2    Good-

    Thoughts-
    Destiny 2 has some of the best gunplay and combat abilities in the genre. Lightfall doesn’t change that, and anyone who has played and enjoyed Destiny 2 before will be welcomed back with open arms in Lightfall. Its addition of the new Strand subclass provides great new gameplay that feels satisfying and makes me want to keep coming back, even if it can feel shoehorned into campaign missions where it doesn’t belong. The campaign itself, while not particularly interesting on the story front, is a great way to ease back into the Destiny 2 ecosystem and prepare for your Root of Nightmares run or your path to the Power cap. While it’s hard to escape the feeling that this isn’t a vital piece to Destiny 2 and rather a Destiny 2-themed cut of something else entirely that doesn’t always fit, I can’t deny that I enjoy playing Lightfall more than I enjoy playing many other games. Regardless of the new content or the future, Destiny 2 is still, six years later, one of the best shooters in the game, and Lightfall is yet another reason to come back or start fresh.    … Expand

    Destiny 2: Lightfall is an expansion with two opposing aspects, that can be seen as the mirror image of the previous The Witch Queen. Weak in narrative content, it shows its best in perfecting the gaming experience, understood as that set of tools to fully enjoy the potential of our guardians. The hope now is that Bungie will put an extra effort into delivering Seasons full of content and capable of keeping the attention high towards the end of a saga a bit… paracausal.

    Destiny 2: Lightfall is a step in the right direction in terms of offering a challenge that lives up to Bungie's legacy.

    Eclipse is more of a bridge that takes us closer to the end than a decisive expansion. Even so, Bungie’s mastery is evident in the impressive aesthetics of Neomuna and in a campaign of very high level of quality.
