The fundamentals of Destiny 2 haven't changed in Beyond Light. Gunplay is still satisfying, and the music and art direction are pretty good. But much of the content just feels too safe, comfortably numb within the franchise's style of story-telling and end-game grinding.
There are some bright spots to be had but for now, it's best to consider Beyond Light as yet another beginning in yet another year for Destiny, one that will hopefully culminate in a more satisfying expansion next year.
