Right now I'm not even halfway there, but I can already tell you that the leveling experience is way more enjoyable in Forsaken. I quickly reached the soft level cap of 500 and began the slow climb to the hard cap of 600. Forsaken only ramps up once you finish the story. Back to the new grindĪs Cayde's friend Ikora is fond of saying, the end is just the beginning. The sidequest to reclaim Cayde-6's beloved hand cannon, the Ace of Spades, ends with a particularly touching moment and rewards one of the best guns in the game (with one of the best reload animations in history).įorsaken's campaign ends with a boss fight out of left field, but then it wouldn't be Destiny without at least one bizarro moment, would it? It's still head-and-shoulders above every Destiny story before it, and I'm looking forward to seeing it continued in the post-game via the raid, Last Wish, which is due out on Friday, September 14 and which we'll undoubtedly discuss more in the coming weeks. Even the optional quests are better than ever. New characters like Spider, a sarcastic and self-serving black market merchant, are likeable and help sell the Spaghetti Western-inspired setting. This kernel of doubt is further explored in Uldren's storyline, which delivers a more conflicted, interesting villain than anything the series has seen so far. Our enemies revile us as the zombie warriors that we technically are, and it feels like Bungie is finally ready to tap into that. Destiny 2 has spent the past year telling players to fight The Darkness and save the solar system, but maybe these Guardians aren't the golden heroes they’re made out to be? After all, we’re reanimated corpses.
For the first time arguably ever, Destiny's story has become a bit ambiguous, and it's a massive improvement.
