Lightfall has to be the most god awful campaign in terms of gameplay I've ever experienced in Destiny.

I can see why it flopped so hard. Holy crap is playing through the campaign an absolute nightmare on legendary compared to every previous campaign I've done on legendary.
The piss poor design flaws of Shadow legion enemies and the Tormentors is possibly the main reason why it flopped too because my god could you code any more mechanics and AoE damage into a faction?! Almost every single weapon the Shadow legion use is just high AoE, Damage, fire rate, and turn-on-a-dime tracking, while the game puts you in such small areas or areas with virtually no cover (even if you get behind cover, youll just have 10 grenades, 5 different high aoe projectiles, and 8-10 melee oriented units like dogs or cabal charging in with their wrist sword all coming at you in less than 8 seconds.)

I just rage quit fighting Calus, not because of Calus himself, but the area itself being nothing but platforms and the fact every pack of enemies that spawn have an incinerator with them and once the Tormentors spawn, now i gotta dodge their high tracking almost 1 shot projectiles while dodging calus and his tracking projectiles/one shot mechanic/etc, while dodging Shadow legion troops, while trying not to fall off, while trying to find cover so i can have a chance to kill stuff and recover.

It's such a mind straining experience, that now i can see why this expac flopped.

Well, just wait till you get to the Final Shape legendary campaign. Then you can take your original list and add enemy bullets with knock back, disappearing mini-bosses, and environment poison to the list. Then just for fun, a complete lack of checkpoints.

Somewhere, over time, what was once a worthy challenge became a raid encounter just because they could. I still managed to slog my way thru all legendary campaigns, thus far. But I wish Bungie would dial it back, because many of us don't raid. Removing the knock-back and having larger combat zones would go a long way toward fixing this hot mess.
