    The Witch Queen is one of the best Destiny 2 expansions and a perfect example of how to evolve an online game. It proves that Bungie has a consistent vision and while the developers are not afraid of changes, they introduce them cautiously and cleverly, letting the game remain what it’s meant to be – a pretty much perfect looter-shooter.

    The Witch Queen is, undoubtedly, the best Destiny 2 expansion to date due its story and content.

    Ultimately, the new narrative in The Witch Queen is absolutely worth checking out, and the game still features what I think is the best gunplay in any game I’ve played- and now it has glaives!

    Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is the best expansion Bungie has ever made, thanks to an interesting story, a great villain and a beautiful new zone to explore. Even with some low points, like the poor number of new activities, it's a must to have for every Destiny fan.

    Bugs and PvP aside, The Witch Queen delivers the best version of Destiny 2 yet.

    I quit destiny after Beyond Light because of how painfully average it was.

    My friend ended up peer pressuring me into buying Witch Queen    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.    … Expand

Incredible campaign with gripping story / writing, solid gameplay mechanics, and addictive loot system that really rewards you for putting in the time. Also, I love how powerful the guardians are becoming with Void 3.0 and the new weapons. The most fun I've had gaming in years. Keep up the amazing work Bungie! We're all rooting for you and are excited for what's ahead!… Expand
