Destiny 2's Season of the Drifter gives you some compelling weapons and armor to chase while adding a renewed focus on storytelling. It's unfortunate, though, that the only unique armor is tied to Gambit Prime and that while acquiring Thorn you hit a wall near the end of the quest.

After a precarious first year, I'm finally enjoying Destiny 2 again. It feels good to have it back.
Top Critic
By channelling community feedback into an all-encompassing package, Forsaken finally makes Destiny 2 feel essential again
Top Critic
Destiny 2 is redeemed at last, with a weighty expansion that brings back the best elements of the past and adds some welcome new ideas to the franchise.
Top Critic
An invigorating shot in the arm to the Destiny franchise, this jam-packed release is absorbing for hobbyist players, even as it sometimes sacrifices accessibility
Top Critic
Destiny 2's Forsaken expansion is dense and rewarding, though it does require a bit of patience.
Top Critic
It took time to get here, but Destiny 2: Forsaken has evolved to be more than Destiny 2 or Destiny ever hoped to be. Forsaken is the return of Destiny as a hobby, but with all the improvements included in vanilla Destiny 2 readily available for all.
Top Critic
This big year-two expansion irons out most of Destiny 2's wrinkles and offers some of the most mysterious, enjoyable content the series has seen so far.
Top Critic
Most every task the game has set before me has been entertaining, challenging, and rewarding. Yet I feel my former student's weariness mixing in with my usual optimism. There's always something else to go do, but on the other hand, there's always something else to go do.
Top Critic
Forsaken is a bit of a reset for pretty much everything about Destiny 2, and it's one that gives me hope that the franchise is making a turn for the better.
