Destiny 2: The Witch Queen Reviews
All in all, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is packed with a ton of not just new, but good content.
Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is the best expansion Bungie has ever developed, and it's all thanks to an interesting plot, alongside an antagonist that really matters and a beautiful new area to explore. But with all this in its favor, the studio continues to make the same mistakes as always, such as the lack of new activities.

Bungie is serving us the new best addition to Destiny 2, which is not only a fantastic adventure, but also shakes up the entire game world known to us so far.

Destiny 2: The Witch Queen expands, improves, and refines everything that already works extremely well, proving that this game as a service is still far from exhaustion. Moreover, it offers an engaging new journey, important revelations, and a turning point that only builds on promise for what lies ahead.

Those who played in the era of The Taken King and broke bungie... Let the longing stop. The Witch Queen is such a good supplement that it's like there's an embarrassment that apologizes for all the mistakes they've made in the past.

Whether you are here for the narrative, gameplay enhancements, or new suite of content, The Witch Queen is unlikely to disappoint. If this ambitious trilogy starter is any indication of what's to come, then we are on the verge of a golden age of Destiny content that realises the vision of an evolving and lived-in world that players can be a part of. It's not just the best expansion since The Taken King, it may be the best the series has ever been.
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.
The Witch Queen delivers a massively enjoyable adventure that adds a new flood of lore that builds on where Beyond Light ended. Destiny 2: The Witch Queen delivers on all the same positives that the other DLCs and even the core Destiny 2 game did. The campaign is wonderful with incredible fights, atmosphere, areas to explore, and music.
Destiny 2: The Witch Queen offers us one of the best campaigns in the saga, with an interesting plot and new mechanics that add a touch of freshness to the long-running title. The different difficulty modes give the game more replayability and the new season is very entertaining thanks to its relationship with current events.

Bungie seems to have Destiny 2 where it belongs and that is in the heart of true Destiny fans. It’s been a long road but personally, I think it was worth the wait. This DLC is great, funny and compelling
The Witch Queen expansion brings an incredible amount of new content and lore to Destiny 2, all wrapped in an engaging and often awe-inspiring experience. The campaign missions are more robust than ever, the Throne World is full of secrets to uncover, and it implements game-changing mechanics that will define the experience for years to come. There is no doubt in my mind that The Witch Queen is the best expansion in the series, finally surpassing The Taken King, and ushering the series into a new era. Long live the Queen.
The Witch Queen is a terrific addition to the Destiny 2 canon, finally balancing the combat and the story to near perfect levels. There’s so much here to enjoy, breathing new life into Destiny as a whole. Absolutely brilliant.
Simply put, Destiny 2 The Witch Queen makes Destiny 2 finally what it should have always been. With improvements in almost every area, a brilliantly crafted setting, and an exceptional story, Bungie is reaching new heights with Destiny 2. It's just a bit of a shame that two subclasses are now in danger of disappearing into obscurity, but bungie is already working on that.

Destiny: The Witch Queen is a spectacular sequel to Beyond Light, released in 2022. Fans have been waiting for years to meet Savathûn and now the time has finally come. The storytelling is excellent and there is plenty to do on Savathûns Throne World. Add to that the fact that you will again be presented with the necessary content for this year to entertain you until the next expansion, called Lightfall. It's just a shame that content like Gambit is still not fun enough to play. Fortunately, there is a new raid against that.

Overall, I would recommend this expansion to anyone who seems interested in playing the game. Destiny 2 Witch Queen is arguably the best expansion the franchise has ever seen and while it may have its shortcomings the future looks bright.
The Witch Queen is, without doubt, the best Destiny 2 expansion. The things it sets in motion, the flow between missions, the beautiful setpieces, epic battles, and wonderful voice acting marry up beautifully to create an unmissable expansion, even if some questions still remain about Destiny 2’s treatment of its content and how to access some of it.
Destiny 2’s The Witch Queen then is, in some areas, a huge leap forward and in others a minor refinement. It points to the future of Destiny 2, with a clearer sense of what kind of game it will become in the coming years. It will please existing players considerably, as well as bring back many lapsed ones. Whether or not it will see a huge and lasting increase of new light Guardians, I suspect, will depend on other factors.
Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is the franchise’s best expansion to date. A great story coupled with exciting new gameplay changes make this an amazing experience we have all been waiting and asking for. The future is looking really bright for the game and the only complaint I have is that I have to wait for all of it.
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, as a lifelong fan dating back to the Marathon days, never expected to see. My biggest concern now is whether Lightfall can live up to what the team has been able to accomplish here.
Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is the best Destiny has ever been, and it is a fitting way to usurp the throne that was long held by the Taken King.
