For me almost perfection. For me in top 3 dlcs for D2 (Forsaken>Witch Queen>Final Shape). Strand was propably designed for Witch Queen but they had some problems with it or it wasnt finished on time so it was moved to next dlc. I loved story, i loved Savathun design, voice, i loved Throne Word design. Everything feeled great in this dlc. Raid was something unique and Mr.Rhulk first boss which literally kicked ass. And this big bell when first time going thru stairs up absolute cinema. Cutscenes. Witness reveal. I had so much great memories from this dlc. Someday will install again D2 just to replay this story.

It was extremely overrated. It was a good campaign but not as good as Forsaken or final shape a good 3rd raid was incredible top 3 easily crafting was a bad idea and the seasons were mid-as hell

*The Witch Queen* is one of the most acclaimed expansions for *Destiny 2*, taking players into a battle against Savathûn, the Witch Queen, who has stolen the Light and is using it to create a Lucent Hive army. The storyline is one of the most intricate and well-crafted in the series, with a rich, twist-filled narrative that dives deeper into *Destiny*’s mythology. The campaign has been widely praised for its cinematic approach and for missions that are more varied and challenging than those in previous **** expansion introduces a new explorable area: Savathûn’s Throne World, an eerie, labyrinthine environment that perfectly reflects the manipulative essence of the Witch Queen. The Throne World is filled with secrets, puzzles, and activities, boasting a complex design that encourages players to explore and uncover the many mysteries hidden within this twisted dimension.A major addition in *The Witch Queen* is the weapon crafting system, allowing players to forge and customize weapons according to their preferences, adding new depth to customization and progression. The Glaive, a new melee/ranged hybrid weapon type, adds diversity to combat, offering a unique gameplay experience that combines close and ranged attacks in a novel **** expansion also includes a new raid, *Vow of the Disciple*, set within the Throne World, praised for its unique design, intricate mechanics, and challenging bosses. This raid demands high coordination and skill, providing a rewarding endgame challenge for veteran **** essence, *The Witch Queen* brings a compelling, narratively rich chapter to *Destiny 2*, with innovative features, a captivating new area, and challenging endgame content that solidify its place as a high point in the series.

Very fun legendary campaign both solo and co-op, and so is post-campaign quests like the Parasite one. New strikes are good, raid is entertaining. Glaives are great and got their place in the game. Crafting is now a thing.

I genuinely do not understand how after 8 years, Bungie still hasn't implemented basic user friendliness features into the game. They have monetized every aspect about it imaginable, but accidental dismantling? Oh, a button was pressed for an entire second on the wrong item on accident? Gone forever. Weeks worth of progress deleted in an actual second. Want to re-customize your Guardian? Nah, delete em and all of their quest progress and make a new one. Want to avoid feeling miserable as you're forced into playlists you don't like purely because if you don't get the rewards, you'll be left behind? Tough. Suffer. And no, the campaign in Witch Queen is not good. Have the people positively reviewing this one actually played any good games in their lifetimes? It's pretty, but literally all that happens is "Hive get ghosts" and you already knew that going into it. Everything else in the campaign is just one big lore dump, cool for hardcore enthusiasts, but for people just looking to have a good time, it is mind-numbingly boring. Legendary difficulty is a joke with how insane the power creep has gotten, and the only form of challenge Bungie can muster together is artificially inflating enemy health and damage. The negatives don't even end there. With old content being regularly deleted with no signs of ever returning and seasonal stories taking the forefront, anyone just now getting into the game or returning after a hiatus will NEVER be able to experience the story they missed firsthand. Much the opposite, you're just thrown into current events and the game pretends like you've been there all along, only providing a brief synopsis of what happened in a little circle in the corner of your map. This is, perhaps, some of the worst methods of storytelling I've ever experienced, and the cost of staying up to date is substantial - Bungie even SELLS you DELETED CONTENT just to access whatever leftover scraps that remain in the game. Please, avoid this game like the plague. It's fun and addictive at face value, but there are so many other games that are also fun and addictive, but actually respect you as a human being.

I bought this game because the Witch Queen expansion got good reviews. I found the expansion entertaining up until the final quest. That one stopped me for several days. The combat part is trivial, but the agility it demands was extremely taxing. Finally, after dozens of tries, I made it to the end of that gauntlet. To make sure my game would be saved, I finished the next objective and then logged when I saw another new objective. Upon returning to the game, I found myself back at the BEGINNING of the gauntlet. All my hard work was forfeit because I needed a rest and some breakfast. IMO, this is TERRIBLE game design. I won't be back!

Bungie is one of the greediest game developers existing in 2022. Destiny 2 is widely considered the watered down "lite" version of what the playerbase considered Destiny 1 to be. The majority of content has been "vaulted" meaning Bungie is too lazy to maintain the content its put out so it completely removes content you've already paid for from the game at regular intervals for the sake of "keeping things fresh". And on top of that, they now exclusively use a pay-to-win Season Pass/Battle Pass system to bait players into paying them more money for little to no new content. Would not recommend any game from this greed-riddled company to my worst enemy.

Bungie has knocked this one out of the park. Incredible campaign, large and content-packed new region to explore, weapon crafting is decently designed and implemented. Raid is a step up from last expansion's raid. Definitely worth the purchase price

Its a good campaign but seriously this mechanic is dumb and is needs to be balanced better. Its no secret that bungie has struggled with balancing way to much in Destiny 2. Constantly removing stuff from the game until they can be bothered to fix it. Buffing stuff to a point past "Obviously to powerful" but now enemies have ghost which respawn them with full health. Which yh would be fine if they didn't take 20 minutes to kill and then stick to all the other enemies like glue so you can't kill there ghost within 10 seconds. Maybe they should slowly start pushing towards you at low health so then you can actually kill there ghost. Or maybe they shouldn't spawn with a full health bar. These are just obvious things that should be kind of obvious. The campaign isn't bad but like all Destiny campaigns, you either need to play every single 1 to fully understand the story or watch a ton of YouTube videos. I think Bungie need to work on making the game easier for new people to get into. Plus work on there story telling abilities and make each campaign easy to understand if you didn't play previous ones. Like I don't need to complete Halo Combat evolved to understand what was going on in Halo 2? The worst part is several of the campaigns have been removed from the game? Why didn't you just add an option to download or remove campaigns so you could still play them if you wanted to?

Really tedious and boring ... The Legendary kicks up the challenge Bungie style, but simply boring ... A lot of challenge, but very little fun. Also, solo players, avoid this like the plague.

The best expansion we've had in Destiny's entire history - I'm honestly amazed. The last two expansions were lackluster, but the environments here are gorgeous and inspired, the campaign actually feels like a campaign and not a series of fetch quests or patrol zone grinds, the story seems to be approaching a critical moment, and the gameplay changes, new weapons, weapon crafting, and void 3.0 are absolutely amazing. I can't remember the last time I saw the Destiny community united like this in universal praise (we love to complain about things).

Really a definitive campaign for the game, i was really worried when Bungie say that, a wonderful and astonishing narrative and gameplay that in 7 years in this game, i never felt before. The craft system, as always new, is a little annoying because you can acess and do everything you want, but that's the way it is, you have to conquer everything. The exotics is finally powerfull and interesting, the destination are beautiful and fun to play. Good job, Bungo!

An emotional and amazing start and end to a story I've wanted to experience! Absolutely amazing. Though there are minor quirks, I believe bungie has started ironing things out. So far I would give this an 9.8. Every destiny player has to play this!

Another typical destiny 2 expansion, drip feed of content and aggressive yet confusing monetization. The content you paid for are temporary and will be removed in the next releases. Your gears and progress will occasionally get reset and again and again your time and investments are not respected. If you didn't like destiny 2 before or left for a reason, this expansion wouldn't change that. Story is better than many other expansions, but average comparing to other titles. But to be honest, nobody really play Destiny for its stories.

Best Campaign in all of the Destiny Universe. This is a turning point for Bungie, with the new crafting system and the throne world you can get lost in this universe, while feeling rewarded. Destiny at it best, if you are a fan of the franchise, this is a must play!

I quit destiny after Beyond Light because of how painfully average it was. My friend ended up peer pressuring me into buying Witch Queen and I must say. The story in the Witch Queen rivals that of Halo Reach from 2010. I haven't seen story telling like this from Bungie in ANY OTHER destiny expansion. It blows the Taken King and Forsaken stories out of the water. The missions and side content is also FINALLY not a total drag. Everything you do has meaning and is engaging in some way.

The best campaign Destiny has ever had. Weapon crafting is fun and there is so much post game content to unlock. The new subclass and orbs of light changes are a refreshing change for build crafting. Cant wait for the raid!

Absolutely amazing content . Feels short but when you consider the additional content besides the campaign it's really not. Crafting is well introduced, and easy to understand. A welcomed feature. It forces you to try out new guns which was the objective and not just stick to one. Additional dungeons have a raid feel to them and are longer and satisfying. All in all great new fresh content . Long live destiny

Destiny has had its' fair share of glory and disappointment. Over 2,000 hours of Destiny 2 gameplay, it has become quite difficult for the game to maintain my attention. That being said, The Witch Queen held every bit of my attention. From the beautiful set-pieces, to the fluidity of the gameplay mechanics; Destiny 2: The Witch Queen sets an entirely new standard for the game and its' future content. I took quite a time off of Destiny 2 during the last season, and actually did not intend on getting into the game again. Sure enough, Bungie did it. They recreated the joy I felt during my first ever play through. Great Job. Great Game. See for yourself.

This is the first destiny 2 expansion I would recommend to everyone that likes narrative shooters, for the first time the campaign is not only challenging but has a good narrative and flashed out antagonist. The new glaives and crafting sistems are amazing and there is ton of content. -1 point because deleting paid content still **** and I hope Bungie stops

데스티니는 매번 실망을 줬고 쉐도우킵, 빛의저편에서 보여준 가능성은 데스티니 프랜차이즈가 이제는 몰락하고 있다는 것을 보여주고 있었다. 마녀여왕은 기대감과 불안감속에서 출시되었고, 그 결과는 7년동안 이뤄냈던것보다 단계가 올라가는 느낌까지 주게 되었다. 헤일로에서 보여줬던 겜플레이 및 스토리 구성을 드디어 데스티니 시리즈만의 것으로 만드는 것이 성공했다. 전설 캠페인은 불합리한 도전정신보다는 다크소울하고 같은 결에 익숙해지고 도전적으로 플레이어을 이끌게 해주었다. 심안 시스템을 그렇게 좋아하진 않지만 캠페인 자체에 템포는 마치 레이싱카를 타듯이 진행되었고, 로어로만 이야기를 풀면 번지는 직접적인 스토리텔링까지 이제는 선보일 수 있게 되었다. 그리워하던 테이큰킹은 이제 떠났다. 이제는 마녀여왕이라는 확팩이 새로운 토대가 되어 데스티니 시리즈를 빛내줄 수 있다고 생각한다. 아직 만듬새가 부족하고 버그도 있는 부분이 있지만 데스티니는 원래 이렇지 않나

This expansion solidifies the massive step-up in the narrative, which bungie has been doing ever since the launch of Beyond Light. Rivaling even the long-loved The Taken King in storytelling and gameplay, The Witch Queen takes everything to the next level, by making a lot of choice into the hands of the players. It continues the changes to the elemental subclasses, with Void 3.0 launching alongside the release. This adds the same treatment to Void for all classes, as Stasis has been having since its release over a year ago in Beyond Light. Every team at Bungie has knocked this one out of the park, with extremely beautiful visuals, perfectly fitting soundtracks and effects, as well as a well-written story with a lot of secrets to uncover. Even the secondary background lore to the main story, carries secrets about the game universe itself, which people have been wanting answers to for years. If you were disappointed by Beyond Light with the "sunsetting", I can assure you that you won't even feel it ever took place. There is a lot to do for everyone, and a lot of choices on what and how to play. By far my favourite expansion in a long time, even coming off of the back of FF14 Endwalker a few months ago. Highly recommend this masterpiece of narrative twists and revelations long awaited.

One of the best campaigns I’ve played. The campaign is 8 hours of pure story content with no filler at all. The story is put together amazingly. The weapon crafting system is also any other addition that makes the game even better, allowing you to customise your own weapons with rolls of your choice. And not to mention all the side missions + seasonal content.

They new systems and underlying changes to the fundamental gameplay ruined the expansion for me. Players shouldn’t expect such micro-managing changes that stranglehold choices in this game. Charged with light and orb generation ruined my experience. Player investment into armor and mods was completely invalidated.

This is Destiny at its best, the most transformative expansion this franchise has ever received far exceeding my already high expectations as a player who has been with this franchise since the very beginning, just the campaign alone is worth the asking price, do yourself a favor and play it on legendary, it is an absolute blast with some of the best storytelling I've ever experienced in gaming, Destiny is going places and I highly encourage you to hop on for the ride.
