While the Strand subclass is incredible, and I’ve been really enjoying actually playing the game, the story leaves a lot to be desired, and some of the new additions seem a little half-baked. The new Vow of the Disciple raid feels more like a strike due to how easy it is while exploring basic patrol zones on Neomuna feels like a death trap. If a new player asked me if this is the time to jump into Destiny 2, my honest answer would probably be no. The Guardian Ranks system is a step in the right direction, but there is still a lot of work to be done to make the game easier to get into. As a veteran player, I’ve been enjoying my time, though, and hopefully, Bungie can get things back on track in time for The Final Shape.","2024-12-06T06:16:22.549705-05:00",{"id":207,"logo":220,"name":221,"slug":222,"tags":223,"bluesky":224,"twitter":225,"youtube":226,"facebook":227,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":228,"website_url":229,"score_format":46,"average_score":188,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":230,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":51,"active_authors_count":51,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":230,"editor_in_chief_email":230,"published_authors_count":51,"published_reviews_count":51},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FMP1st-Logo.jpg","MP1ST","mp1st","[  \n  'independent',\n  'online_media',\n  'ingestion_pending'\n  ]","mp1st.bsky.social","MPFirst","MP1stTV","MP1st","Your #1 source for breaking news, reports, game updates and patches, and more!

The gameplay additions, the Quality of Life improvements, and the music and sound design are all best in class. The Lightfall campaign is going to be divisive for a long time to come and I think that’s okay. Its storytelling doesn’t live up to the Witch Queen’s standards, but the level design is some of Destiny’s – and Bungie’s – best. I loved the characters we met along the way, the post-campaign content, and Neomuna itself. I love Neomuna, Strand, and the new Root of Nightmares raid, But I think the best part is that I’m having just as much fun as I ever have in Destiny.","2025-02-26T20:19:55.900422-05:00",{"id":505,"logo":519,"name":520,"slug":521,"tags":223,"bluesky":522,"twitter":521,"youtube":521,"facebook":521,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":523,"website_url":524,"score_format":46,"average_score":152,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":525,"platforms_covered":526,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":51,"active_authors_count":51,"headquarters_country":447,"reviews_editor_email":529,"editor_in_chief_email":530,"published_authors_count":51,"published_reviews_count":51},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FXbox%20Era%20Logo.jpg","XboxEra","xboxera","xboxera.com","Your destination for Xbox news, previews, reviews and community fun!","https:\u002F\u002Fxboxera.com\u002F","jon.clarke@xboxera.com",[527,528],"Xbox One","Xbox Series X|S","jesse.norris@xboxera.com","pieter.jasper@xboxera.com",{"id":532,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":533,"author":534,"original_score":540,"normalized_score":541,"review_url":542,"review_date":543,"summary":544,"created_at":545,"updated_at":545,"author_id":535,"last_edited_at":68,"outlet":546},18808,13,{"id":535,"bio":26,"name":536,"avg_score":537,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":538,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":539,"claim_token":26,"article_count":214,"claimed_by_user_id":26},2044,"Jeff Brooks",84,"2024-12-02T11:15:31.644034-05:00","2025-01-27T08:53:22.206868-05:00","6.9\u002F10",69,"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.dualshockers.com\u002Fdestiny-2-lightfall-review\u002F","2023-03-08","But, for new players?

However, with the launch of The Witch Queen last year and now Lightfall, narrative seeds planted almost a decade ago are beginning to sprout.
