Destiny 2 Expansion Pack
Release Date: February 28, 2023
Lightfall is an expansion for the online FPS Destiny 2. It introduces a new location in the form of a futuristic city and offers an extensive story campaign, a rich selection of cooperative missions, an additional gameplay mode and previously unknown powers.
Destiny 2: Lightfall is the next expansion for Bungie studio's popular shooter with MMO elements. While the basic version of the game uses a free-to-play model with micropayments, this expansion is a paid production.
The expansion moves over to a futuristic city located on Neptune. The place, called Neonuma, will become the target of a siege by the forces of the Witness, also known as the Voice of Darkness.
Lightfall is a classically implemented expansion, which focuses mainly on offering fresh content without drastically reworking Destiny 2 mechanics. The project introduces new locations, weapons and armor to the game. It also raises the maximum level of development.
However, there were also novelties in gameplay mechanics. Lightfall offers three new subclasses - one for each class. They allow you to use the power of Darkness, based on the power of Darkness, which was previously unavailable, allowing you to pluck threads from the canvass of reality,
Titans can become Tyrants, who, thanks to energy claws, can cut off enemies from the source of power. Sorcerers can choose the subclass of Architect manipulating the moves of enemies. Hunters, on the other hand, were given the option to choose the Threadrunner subclass, increasing the character's mobility, such as by allowing them to swing between buildings on an energy rope.
Destiny 2: Lightfall offers a new story campaign and a previously unavailable gameplay mode in the form of the titular Lightfall. The missions introduced by the add-on can be played alone or in co-op with several friends.
The add-on also introduces a new six-player raid to the game.
Lightfall offers the same high level of quality as the base version of Destiny 2.

Destiny is a series of first-person shooters with a touch of MMO and RPG elements. The series combines a science fiction climate with fantasy elements: players take on the role of futuristic warriors using both firearms and supernatural powers. The main job here is to eliminate soldiers of alien races that serve the ancient cosmic Darkness. During the execution of missions, even the story missions, we can encounter other players and cooperate with them. The fun is accompanied by acquiring better and better weapons and armor, known from erpegs, as well as climbing to new experience levels and unlocking new skills.
In May 2024, PS Plus subscribers will be able to check out Electronic Arts' latest soccer blockbuster, a cyberpunk action game, a charming production in the style of The Legend of Zelda, and Destiny 2's worst expansion.

Game Ratings for Destiny 2: Lightfall Video Game.
Destructoid: 7 / 10 by Cheri Faulkner
Solid and definitely has an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.
COGconnected: 70 / 100 by Paul Sullivan
Lightfall as a whole package falls short of the standard set by The Witch Queen last year. The story is shaky and tangential, and the gameplay changes are few and far between outside of the underwhelming Strand powers. Neomuna isn’t nearly as memorable, and difficulty changes make it more challenging to engage with Destiny’s bread and butter content. Thankfully, overall quality of life improvements and the rock solid bones of the gameplay save the package as a whole. If you’re after more Destiny 2, Lightfall is certainly that, but as the most expensive expansion yet ($100 USD with the annual ), I expected to have my hair blown back a bit more.
Attack of the Fanboy: 4 / 5 by Noah Nelson
Destiny 2 Lightfall successfully expands upon and upgrades an already fantastic game. With Neomuna, Strand, and the numerous quality of life additions, the only big area Lightfall falters is the story. And while Lightfall's missions are really fun and well-designed, writing excluded, the overall story's biggest problems are its lack of exposition and the fact that it's just the wrong story.
