12/28/2023 0 Comments Light fall reviewTo put it in pop cultural terms, this finally felt like Destiny’s own Avengers: Infinity War moment. After years of getting teases of the Pyramid Ships and heels off the reveal of The Witness, the ethereal being pulling the strings, the start of the campaign was the signal that the end was nigh. Picking up immediately from the ending of Season 19, “Season of the Seraph,” the Lightfall campaign begins in the most exciting of moments. Lightfall shows us the ways in which Destiny 2, as a game, keeps getting better, while unfortunately stumbling in key areas that they shouldn’t stumble in this late in the game. Well, as it’s ever been with this franchise’s topsy turvy existence, it’s complicated. With all of this in mind, with the recent launch of the newest expansion, Lightfall, does Bungie maintain the momentum of the success of its previous expansion and continue the promise that we are in the best days of Destiny? With a story that finally made sense out of the game’s many disparate threads, combat design in the newly introduced Legendary campaign that unlocked the potential of the combat sandbox, and a spread of year-long content that’s a far cry from the yawning gaps of the game’s earlier lifespan, it really seemed like Destiny 2 was riding high momentum as it approached the end of the “Light and Darkness” saga. The Witch Queen expansion was a definitive statement from Bungie in that, after many years of ups and downs, they finally got a handle on what makes Destiny tick, and that they were capable of delivering the best version of the game this late into its lifespan. Last year, Destiny 2 delivered some of its greatest content in its close to 10 year lifespan.
