The recent launch of the newest expansion lightfall has shown that bungie has lost its way with how a game should be developed. Much of the content regarding lightfall is weak and recycled garbage especially the weapons and story. The loot present within the actual campaign itself as well as the newest season that you are forced to buy even if you bought the standard edition is sub par and are identical to weapons available to us for years.

Most of the environment may seem nice to look at initially but are in fact reused assets from beyond light, an expansion from over 2 years ago. Many of the textures and rooms of europa are copied and pasted right back on here. All of the guns within lightfall are recoloured guns from the shadowkeep expansion and the current seasons weapons are from season of the lost which was a season from over a year ago before the launch of witch queen.

The story of lightfall can be described as filler as there is absolutely nothing substantial within. There are no spoilers within as there is nothing to spoil. The plot essentially progresses about 10 seconds from the start of the campaign to the end, so much so that the starting campaign cutscene was literally continued on directly without any sort of in universe pause at the end of the game. If our character literally sat on their ass and did NOTHING within the story nothing would have changed and arguably the story would have been better as we had to kill a significant fan favourite character at the end that resulted in the ending not changing at all. IF we are to look at the storytelling within the campaign, it relies on chasing mcguffins that are not explained whatsoever and every single character speaks as if we know exactly what is going on. As a result the entire middle part meanders all over the place helping with small insignificant go here shoot something quests which do not push the story forwards whatsoever.

The characters within lightfall are also unlikable to the point that i was rooting for their deaths. The main characters you interact with are such horrible people that their actions when contrasted to the world they are in are completely out of touch and make no sense. Cringe jokes and one liners make up the majority of the vocabulary of one particular character. The entire game between the middle and last mission could be cut without affecting the storyline at all.

The new subclass within lightfall called strand is more or less dead on arrival, the abilities present within are substantially weaker than the previous classes and instead of the idea that you discover this ability like is said on the trailers and vidoc, So much so that bungie had to prematurely release all of the upgrades to the subclass after 3 days due to how underwhelming it was and even then its still bad. Outside of needing the subclass for specific weekly challenges, it is barely used at all outside of those specific circumstances. The way you first obtain the power is also laughable, you literally just find the power on the side of the street just floating there. There is absolutely zero reason why it exists where you find it and barely ties into the story at all.

The newest season that is included in the purchase to inflate the price is also nonsensical in its storytelling. The story seems decent considering the trainwreck that is the lightfall story but falls off a cliff after a completely preventable death of another significant character. A cutscene plays in which we were in the same room literally seconds prior, and we are no where in sight which leads to a character death. And currently as of the final mission, bungie has handed another screw you to the dedicated fan base as the quest cannot be completed if you played the season too much.

The other game modes present within destiny are barely supported with the pvp mode having 1 singular map added over a year ago with the launch of witch queen. Gambit has not had an update to its general gamemode since the launch of shadowkeep over 3 years ago and even the removal of many maps.

The only positive about the game is that the gunplay and movement feels satisfying. The older content is still relatively okay but only get when its on a deep discount.

After the phenomenal expansion that was witch queen, the game as of the current state is not worth getting into as bungie has also increased the price across the board for less content. Buying the game separately also means that you do not get access to the dungeons that are released with certain seasons. Meaning that if you want to buy all the seasons on their own, it is significantly more expensive. This is already on top of the 100 bucks needed to buy the deluxe edition which is an insane price.

It might be worth checking out just cause the game is technically free but only ONLY get the expansions if they are on a deep discount of 75% or more AND you want more destiny. The newest expansion adds nothing and is not worth the buy even if they offer it for 90% off.
