My favorite part of all of it was the way that Bungie forces you to employ new tactics and new styles of play. They force you to break out of your comfort zone to try and new load-out or a new way to play through a level you have been through a hundred times before.

Making Destiny more accessible in this way is a welcome addition to a game built around its cooperative environment. This remains a game best enjoyed with friends, so the more people playing, the better.

It adds focus to the core gameplay that just wasn’t found in Destiny beforehand. From vastly improved mission structure to challenges that feel worthwhile, it is a huge testament to what a bit of time can accomplish for a new IP.

If you’re enjoying Destiny, don’t hesitate to buy it since the new weapons and missions are worth it. If you don’t like the base game, just pass.

The Dark Below doesn't revolutionise Destiny's addictive endgame, but the superb new missions and the lure of new gear should tide you over 'til the House of Wolves. [Feb 2015, p.91]

As an unequivocal sign of modern times, Destiny continues to evolve and change. What at launch was a solid but nonetheless forgettable experience, now expands and improves upon the criticism provided by the gamer community. The Dark Below is not there yet, but we are approaching excellence.

An extension of Destiny's triumphs and flaws that ultimately wins us over with its new raid. [Mar 2015, p.68]

The new content is quite good, but it’s disappointing to see that the storytelling is still going nowhere. The great mystery and clever execution is clearly there, but at some point Destiny needs to start providing answers. [Jan 2015]

For the ultimate Destiny experience, yes, you will need The Dark Below. You may find more of the same content, with some palette swapped enemies and similar bounties to what we traditionally had access to, but the new content allows Destiny to continue to surprise us.

New raid, strike missions and multiplayer maps look brilliant. On the other hand, story missions are so short, and the price is too high.
