    The Witch Queen is one of the best Destiny 2 expansions and a perfect example of how to evolve an online game. It proves that Bungie has a consistent vision and while the developers are not afraid of changes, they introduce them cautiously and cleverly, letting the game remain what it’s meant to be – a pretty much perfect looter-shooter.

    The Witch Queen is, undoubtedly, the best Destiny 2 expansion to date due its story and content.

    he Witch Queen offers Destiny 2's best campaign to date, an exciting new weapon archetype in the Glaive, and takes its first steps in revitalizing the Light Subclasses in line with Beyond Light's Stasis Subclass with Void 3.0. It also adds the enticing prospect of weapon crafting, which is unfortunately hampered by extremely grind-y requirements to truly experience the most weapon crafting has to offer as well as a raid that could be the most convoluted yet.

    Ultimately, the new narrative in The Witch Queen is absolutely worth checking out, and the game still features what I think is the best gunplay in any game I’ve played- and now it has glaives!

    Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is the best expansion Bungie has ever made, thanks to an interesting story, a great villain and a beautiful new zone to explore. Even with some low points, like the poor number of new activities, it's a must to have for every Destiny fan.

    Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is yet another reason Bungie’s epic living world has this type of staying power, and new and existing players alike have every reason to jump in here.

    Bugs and PvP aside, The Witch Queen delivers the best version of Destiny 2 yet.

    My friend ended up peer pressuring me into buying Witch Queen and I must say. The story in the Witch Queen rivals that of Halo Reach from 2010. I haven't seen story telling like this from Bungie in ANY OTHER destiny expansion. It blows the Taken King and Forsaken stories out of the water.

    The missions and side content is also FINALLY not a total drag. Everything you do has meaning and is engaging in some way.    … Full Review »
