Destiny 2
Finally , after eld of build - up , Destiny 2 : The Witch Queenbrings Guardians present to case with the queer of Lies herself , Savathûn . She was introduce inDestiny ’s first enlargement , The Taken King , alongside her siblings Xivu Arath and the Taken King himself , Oryx . Since the release ofThe withdraw King , it has been hailed as the pinnacle of the serial publication ' storytelling and has served as the point of comparison for all subsequent expansion - but this may no longer be the typeface .
The Witch Queendoesn’t bring a whole lot to the gameplay loop , at least not in the same way that others likeBeyond Lightdid . Here , the major improver to the game are the updates to the Void subclass , dub Void 3.0 , the glaive weapon type , anda artillery crafting system . Glaives are a wonderful plus to the plot and are absurdly fulfill to utilize , while artillery craft offer some interesting possibility but is by all odds in its infancy .

WhatThe Witch Queenreally concenter on is its taradiddle , something not come across inDestiny 2sinceForsaken- at least not to this degree . The inauspicious consequence of this is that it makes endeavor to verbalise about it in a review implausibly hard , as each moment in the story is either a continuation of the independent plot line or is implementing some of the universe ’s more discreet traditional knowledge . This naturally take in the narrative spoiler - ridden , and it ’s absolutely best that players skip in completely unsighted to get the well experience . It ’s well one of the best narrative instalment of the series , however , and well deserving give back for , whether just a casual perceiver of the game ’s plot or an in - the - pot - character of lore partisan .
On the topic of player experience , this is whereThe Witch Queenreally witness its weak points . As a come back player , it was nice to see thatThe Witch Queen , likeShadowkeep , changes the role player ’s force levelto the require minimum , meaning that all raw and returning player are able to jump in without too much trouble - for a while , at least . One of the thing that defineDestinyis its social prospect , encouraging players to take shape fireteams and take on the various Earth and news report as a whole . However , this is n’t a world for all players .
This is not to say that the social centering is good or bad , but it does play a factor in how accessible parts of the biz are and that includes the campaign . About halfway throughThe Witch Queen , solo player will experience a discriminating gain in trouble that affects them more than it does a squad , thus forcing them togrind and smash their impulse . Though this is expected to a degree , it is a bummer considering that the story is less of a rollercoaster and more of a racecar , which is to say , there is no practiced spot to take a breathing spell and farm for some weapons .
This is the only obtrusive downside to this expanding upon and it ’s one that will only affect certain role player . Even then , the account alone is utterly deserving apportion with what is realistically a minor worriment . Destiny 2 : The Witch Queenis an accomplishment in storytelling for Bungie , which somehow has two more expansions still to add up for its ongoing biz . The Witch Queenis a must playfor lover of the series , nonchalant or otherwise , as it ’s an intriguing storey that is well secern , exudes confidence , and hints at an even brilliant ( or darker ) future that ’s still to come .
