The Witch Queen fundamentally changes a lot of Destiny 2. There’s weapon crafting, a new area to explore, a new raid coming, tons of weapons to grind for, and plenty of sandbox changes that shake everything up. But the writing isn’t on par with some previous expansions.

I’ve been a Destiny player since its initial launch way back in 2014. It’s been a flawed but highly entertaining few years that have had incredible highs seen in The Taken King and Forsaken. For every action, there was also a reaction: We may have had these great highs, but we have also faced the horrendous lows of the base games and Shadowkeep. Yet I kept coming back. The core gameplay of Destiny, flaws and all, is still some of the best out there in the realm of first-person shooters.

The Destiny universe is currently very polarising – you’re either terrified by how broad and complicated it is or play it religiously with your friends like a cult of fanatics. We have casual fans and absolute diehards on the Checkpoint Gaming team, trying to enjoy the rollercoaster of updates and major expansions for Destiny 2.

Destiny 2 has tried to be many things over its four and a half years, and while it seemed there has always been a step back for every two steps forward the game would make, The Witch Queen is one giant leap ahead. With this expansion, Destiny 2 is quite simply at the best game state it has ever been, and offers so much to do and reason to do it that every player that ever loved this game should give it a shot to rekindle exactly what it was that sparked that passion in the first place.

Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is not only the best expansion Bungie has ever made for Destiny, but it’s the best release that Destiny has ever had period. From the same tight gameplay we all know and love, to the breathtaking visuals and music the team at Bungie have managed to produce, all the way down to best launch day for any expansion Destiny has ever seen and the roughest Day One Raid event we’ve ever seen. The Witch Queen is more than just another expansion for the now 8-year-old franchise, it’s a return to form for Bungie that I...

After parting ways with Halo and Microsoft in 2007, Bungie began work on a new adventure: Destiny. 15 years later Destiny’s second iteration is still going strong, and in fact, it has never been better. For a former Destiny lover, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is the expansion that has truly drawn me back in. Bungie has impactfully deepened Destiny’s already unfathomably complex lore. They’ve added scads of new content and ideas, and deliciously set the stage for what’s to come. Oh, and it’s still the best playing shooter on the market.

In this new era of consistency, Bungie delivers the best expansion to date.

Destiny enthusiasts had a long wait for this latest expansion, and Bungie rewarded that patience with an outstanding installment. The Witch Queen is one of the studio’s most sophisticated releases, both in terms of storytelling and gameplay systems, and that complexity is especially rewarding to longtime players. That same depth across the breadth of the expansion also means it may be difficult for newer or lapsed players to climb aboard. For those that embrace the full scope of what’s on offer, the Witch Queen has both tricks and treats aplenty.

The Witch Queen is not only the best and most complete version of Destiny 2, it's the foundation for something better still.

Another solid expansion from Bungie but there is little in the way of brand new features. Enemies are reskinned, and the Light bearing enemies just use supers Guardians have had for years. Still, there's a hell of a lot to do and the maps are the biggest we have seen in Destiny by a long way. The Witch Queen Guaranteed to keep fans busy for many hours, lets hope Gambit and Crucible get some love later on this year.

The Witch Queen is Destiny 2's greatest villain yet, and her titular expansion exceeds expectations in almost every way.

While there is still more to come with “The Witch Queen,” in the form of the new raid launching on March 5th, the content given in the base expansion is simply Destiny at its absolute best. The campaign is by far the best of the series, both in terms of storytelling and gameplay itself, and might be one of my favorite shooter campaigns of all time. The bar has been raised going forward; the only question is whether or not Bungie can keep it up from here.

Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is the next chapter in an already exhilarating game, a chapter that in and of itself reiterates and expands on the existing excellence of the core game. With a thrilling new campaign, an exciting new weapon, the addition of crafting and its impact on the weapon economy, and an upgraded subclass, The Witch Queen is Destiny at its all-time best.

Destiny 2: The Witch Queen sets the bar for all Destiny expansions going forward, shifting the paradigm so massively that I could never have expected it. Improving upon problem points in past releases, offering a Legendary mode with difficulty scaling for solos, duos, and trios, and introducing a new crafting system, this expansion has a lot to offer, and that’s without even mentioning that it also includes one of the best PvE raids ever. Witch Queen is a must-play for fans of the looter-shooter genre, and I encourage even those who got burned by Destiny before to give it a...
