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.
TheSixthAxis: 6 / 10 by Tuffcub
Destiny 2 is still one of the best feeling games to play, but compared to the inventive, personal story told in The Witch Queen, Lightfall is dull and totally inconsequential. What a disappointment.
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 pass), I expected to have my hair blown back a bit more.
Hardcore Gamer: 3 / 5 by Kevin Dunsmore
Strand is fabulous, some of the campaign missions are truly masterful, and the game remains genuinely fun, but these can’t offset Destiny 2: Lightfall’s shortcomings. Destiny 2: Lightfall is just another filler expansion on the pathway to the final showdown.
Destiny 2: Lightfall Description
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.
Plot
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.
Game mechanics
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.
Game modes
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.
Technical aspects
Lightfall offers the same high level of quality as the base version of Destiny 2.
