It’s disappointing but The Scorn are quick and aggressive, often rushing in with melee attacks. Yes, that’s right – since Destiny’s launch in 2014, we still don’t have any truly new enemy races, at least visually. These Barons head up an army of twisted Fallen variants known as “The Scorn”. Unfortunately, other encounters such as “The Rifleman” were a lot less exciting and in fact even when defeating him, completing the mission, the in-game “Triumph” system failed to recognize this. Meanwhile, The Hangman’s enclosed arena caused constant misery, his minions laying traps as we danced the dance of death. That disappointment aside, some of the battles are truly epic – one tech-loving Baron known as the Machinist rains fire from the skies, sending you dodging and diving in order to line up your shots. Most Baron encounters are marked as “Adventures” which mean no cutscenes. After running these very violent errands, it’s time to face the Barons. Thankfully there is an endgame location which I hope will feel more like Oryx’s Dreadnaught. While it is a decent enough excuse to explore the new locale, the (admittedly very pretty) purple skybox and craggy asteroids never feel particularly inspired. Unfortunately, after that strong opening (stuffed to the brim with gorgeous cinematics) it isn’t long until you’re sent on a short fetch quest, completing small (and easy) bounties. What follows is an unevenly paced but thoroughly enjoyable revenge tale across a new location, “The Tangled Shore”, hunting high-level enemies implicated in Cayde’s death (known as Barons), as well as the big bad himself, Uldren. No resurrections, no “just kidding”, Cayde is dead. SPOILERS FOR THOSE THAT HAVEN’T SEEN THE TRAILERSĬayde is murdered. This time, however, the inmates are loose and you’ll fight alongside Cayde-6 to get them back in line. Stepping back into the shoes of your Guardian, you’ll head to the Prison of Elders, a lock-up for the galaxy’s most wanted which was last seen in the original Destiny’s “House of Wolves” expansion. Can Forsaken FIX Destiny 2? Forsaken starts strongly.
While the original Destiny’s Taken King expansion rejuvenated the fledgling franchise, it remained disappointing to see Bungie need to rectify so many mistakes a year on from the launch of the sequel. “Forsaken” is a “life or death” expansion for Destiny 2. That said, we will be doing our best to avoid story spoilers outside of everything shown in the pre-release marketing material. At this point in time, however, we can discuss the campaign (and other new additions) with some authority.

Rest assured, we will update this article in due course.
Disclaimer: While Destiny 2’s Forsaken Expansion is now live, the nature of it being a “live service game” means there is a lot of content to plough through.
