Destiny 2: Beyond Light Reviews

With the release of Beyond Light, Destiny 2 struggles to give players to continue investing time into it. Any content you buy or items you earn in the game are subject to removal at Bungie’s whim; we’re just buying a license to play the content, not the content itself.

The Beyond Light expansion offered a decent amount of new content and fun along with the new Stasis power which changes for the players' style in the Crucible or even the strategies in Raid missions, it is without a doubt worth giving it a try.

Suffice to say that Bungie is recapturing the magic that Destiny has always had at its core. It's exploring concepts and story ideas that fans have been speculating about for years. And it's focusing on developing a game for the players who love Destiny, not trying desperately to change things to get new players on board. As a living world, iterative in design with an evolving narrative and constantly updated content, Destiny 2 changes persistently, but Beyond Light feels like a whole new foundation rooted in the kind of space magic and vision that has made Destiny special all along. I can't wait to see what comes next.

Destiny 2: Beyond Light is worth the investment for existing fans of the genre and franchise. Otherwise, the best way to experience this expansion is through Game Pass on Xbox or PC.

Destiny 2: Beyond Light is not a revolution in the gameplay department and world of Destiny 2, but it can pleasantly entertain you for a while – basic shooter formula of the game still works perfectly.

Bungie's need to recycle material from Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 is a move that is welcome, but it is not the desired one.

Destiny 2: Beyond Light is a negative net sum, with so much content vaulted in favor of a meager campaign set in Europa. So much is teased and promised to bring the original Destiny vision together with Destiny 2 that we can't hope but be excited to see what Bungie is promising in seasons to come. However, what's available right now is less than the exotic content that players might've hyped themselves up for.

Destiny 2 continues to expand its content with a fairly complete DLC that offers a multitude of hours of gameplay and new missions, all using the same solid and addictive gameplay as always. Season of the Chosen looks very good and has a very promising story base that looks set to surprise.

Destiny 2: Beyond Light hugely improves the development of the story and narrative of the universe created by Bungie. A new subclass and other co-op activities will delight along with numerous new rewards, although the focus has been more on PvE content every season. However, the dedication to keeping up with everything the game offers remains exhausting.

Destiny 2: Beyond Light is certainly a worthy expansion in the operatic space war. At this point it is given that there is a wealth of exotic weapons and armour to get to grips with, but the new Stasis powers are worth the investment alone. Throwing freezing walls at enemies adds a layer of defence that was sorely missing. These new powers change the tide of battle in such a way that just has to be experienced to be believed.
