Depending on how dedicated you are, this can either be a laid-back process over time or a grueling one over a few days.Īs is the case with Destiny 2 in general, the strength of its shooting mechanics and the lure of new weapons and armor help to offset the repetition inherent to the mid-game grind structure. The level requirements jump quite a bit, which means a good amount of grinding-completing Weekly Challenges for Powerful gear-to get there. Once you finish that campaign, you unlock the second destination, the Dreaming City. The entry-level portion of the game can take 10 or so hours with some grinding in between, depending on whether you go solo or with a Fireteam of one or two others.
A new vendor named Spider (a Fallen mob boss you're forced into an alliance with against the Scorn) adds more color to these missions, too, manipulating you into doing his bidding around the Tangled Shore as you go. Each of the Barons has their own personality traits, with some being especially memorable the Rider rides around on a souped-up Pike and cackles as she takes shots at you, while the Trickster's mission is littered with bombs that look like engrams. Most of the main story missions take place in a new destination, the Tangled Shore. That said, it's not so involved that you can't run through the missions with others and talk over some of the dialogue without losing track of what your goals are, either. The boss-focused structure and darker tone make for a more interesting and varied campaign where each mission feels like a necessary step rather than busy work with no clear narrative purpose. Cayde's death at the beginning of the campaign starts you off on a journey for revenge, which means hunting down and killing those responsible: eight Barons, powerful enemies from the new Scorn race. Whereas the Red War arc in the base game relied on an overtly evil supervillain to drive the story forward, Forsaken's story is built around less noble pursuits. After two disappointing expansions, this is the best shape Destiny 2 has been in-you just have to be patient with it. However, a strong foundation of more accessible activities coupled with an engaging new campaign and a fantastic new mode in Gambit help make up for prohibitive level restrictions in the late game. That's partially the fault of now-resolved issues that prevented players from leveling up properly, but it's also indicative of just how far Destiny 2 has swung in the "hardcore" direction. For all but the most dedicated players, it was nearly impossible to be prepared for the Raid in the 10 days between launch and its release.
Even three weeks after launch, Destiny 2's Forsaken expansion feels, in some ways, overwhelming.
