Destiny 2: Beyond Light

"Beyond Light is a great expansion that shines thanks to the introduction of the stasis, a new and fun power that promises to changes everything. If you also love the lore and want to know a lot more about the …"

"Beyond Light delivers one of the best raids in Destiny history and some of the best story moments in Destiny 2, and that&s;s more than enough to make up for a few disappointing gaps."

"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 …"

"...there is fun to be found here. If it were not for the sudden vacuum you feel in the absence of vaulted content there would be no question in my mind about how much I enjoy this game."

"My advice? Wait to see how the next-gen upgrade of Destiny 2 shakes out if you&s;re either on the fence about returning, or jumping in for the first time. Come December 8, it should be a drastically different experience, as …"

"Beyond Light fails at pushing Destiny 2 in a good direction. It&s;s lacking in countless ways, from the campaign to the seasonal content, and it doesn&s;t give you nearly enough for the price. Even the most hardcore Destiny fans will …"

"Under normal circumstances, Beyond Light would have been a somewhat decent expansion with little new content, despite an engaging plot. However, the vaulting of much of the old content – most of which paid in hard cash by the users …"

"Less is more, and Destiny 2: Beyond Light feels like a positive first step towards a new era for the franchise. New Stasis subclasses, a compelling storyline, and a gorgeous new planet to explore make for an intriguing new direction …"

"There will be work to do to ensure that Beyond Light’s content remains interesting for an entire year and that Stasis is kept in check, but overall Destiny 2: Beyond Light is a solid effort from Bungie and is a …"

"Destiny 2: Beyond Light is a slimmer offering than fans might have hoped for thanks to its disappointing campaign, but there’s still enough intrigue beneath Europa’s surface to warrant a return to orbit. The new stasis subclasses freshen up years-old …"

"Destiny 2: Beyond Light doesn’t fix all that is wrong with the original game, but it is the first of many in the right direction."

"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 …"

"Although Europa itself is harsh and beautiful at the same time, Destiny 2: Beyond Light suffers from a litany of issues. The unnecessary back-and-forth to do missions on Europa, a weak structure for its campaign, and the sunsetted weapons with …"

"Destiny 2 Beyond Light adds a descent campaign with a good narrative, and a lot of hours of play for the bravest players."

"It is my sincerest of hopes that this shaky start is just an anomaly for Bungie’s new direction, but the game’s state ever since Shadowkeep also leads me to believe otherwise"

"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 …"

"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 …"

"It&s;s been six years since the original Destiny was released and every year it feels like we&s;re getting closer to finally facing off against the Darkness. Every year, however, we&s;re told it&s;ll happen later."

"Destiny 2 Beyond Light has turned the universe we know and love on its head by removing four major locations, five raids, outdated activities, and the sunsetting of weapons and gear. While the removal of content may seem negative, this …"

"An engaging story feels like a turning point in the canon, but the game feels diminished after stripping away roughly half of the locations, activities, and other core content"

"One of Destiny 2&s;s best expansions thus far, providing an assured roadmap for the series to move into. It is just more Destiny though."

"With Beyond Light, Destiny 2 can still get cyclical and repetitious, but its new abilities and improved storytelling make it feel much more alive."

"Beyond Light is a fun campaign on a beautiful and expansive new world, but Destiny 2 is still some way from being the best version of itself."

"Post-sunsetting and content vaulting, Destiny 2: Beyond Light had some big expectations to meet. Instead, it plays things safe, delivering a boring main campaign, the usual Power grind and routine busywork to keep players engaged. Even with some interesting story …"

"Beyond Light is undoubtedly in the upper tier of Destiny expansions, but its arrival has disrupted the game in ways that pose big challenges for Bungie in the months ahead."

"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 breaks new ground with Beyond Light, while other parts remain frozen in time."

"Beyond Light isn&s;t going to change anyone&s;s mind about Destiny 2. Either you love the weekly grind, the increasingly complex lore, and pushing your mates off a ledge in a Raid, or you don&s;t. For those who do, there&s;s a …"
