AI Review Summary

Destiny 2: Lightfall is widely criticized for its narrative failures, with players describing the story as confusing, poorly written, and tonally inconsistent compared to previous expansions. While the new Strand subclass and post-campaign gameplay loops offer some enjoyment, the high price and perceived lack of content make it a difficult recommendation for many.

Pros

  • The new Strand subclass mechanics are fun and offer a refreshing change to the gameplay loop.90%
  • Post-campaign content and new exotic weapons provide decent engagement for dedicated players.70%
  • Core gunplay and PVE/PVP mechanics remain solid and satisfying.60%

Cons

  • The campaign narrative is confusing, poorly paced, and fails to explain its most important plot elements.95%
  • The expansion is perceived as overpriced filler content that lacks the depth of previous releases.85%
  • The campaign feels like a long, poorly designed tutorial for the Strand subclass rather than a cohesive story.80%
  • New characters are frequently described as annoying or tonally jarring compared to the established lore.75%
  • Significant quality drop-off when compared directly to the previous expansion, The Witch Queen.70%

Notable Mentions

  • Reviewers frequently compare the narrative structure to a movie that forgets to explain its central MacGuffin.
  • Many players suggest skipping the expansion entirely or waiting for a deep discount.
  • The community sentiment is notably unified in its disappointment regarding the narrative direction.
