3/5 ★ – Empyrean's review of Destiny 2: Beyond Light.

Beyond Light is tough to accurately rank, as its Destiny at its best and worst. Europa is gorgeous (I’m a sucker for any snow based location) but it’s incredibly tedious and small and the boring missions will be sending you back and forth to the same locations endlessly. The lore and world building are good, but the main story is largely inconsequential and fails to satisfyingly follow up on Season of Arrivals. Thankfully Deep Stone Crypt is probably the best D2 raid up until that point. The 30th anniversary pack released during this period is also great, with Grasp of Avarice being a great first time run. So it’s a very mixed bag. It has a great raid and still a big improvement over year one and actually has new content, but the new era of Bungie is still finding its feet.
