Although this is extremely early in this expansion, Lightfall gives us all a lot to think about. I have broken up my thoughts in Pros and Cons so any reader will have an easy time reading it.

Pros:

- The amount of cutscenes in this expansion is impressive and I feel like Destiny 2 improved on their quality. After investing so many years in Destiny 1 and 2, Bungie continues to deliver on great visuals, music and world building. What I do hope is for our character to speak more and feel like they are more than just a soldier following instructions.

- In-game loadouts: All I can say... it's about time! I am a huge fan of DIM but it's nice to have something built into the game.

- Overall UI: The improvements Bungie made to our character screen, collections, journey and more were all great additions. It shows that a lot of time was invested into these elements.

- Commendations: Although this a new feature in Destiny 2, it has been around in a few other games. I am a huge fan since it promotes positivity and the overall character screen with final stats is a great touch.

- Mod Customization: This has been revamped and will need more time to fully embrace the changes but I do like the overall system. The page is clean, easy to understand and this is something that had started to feel dull after a while. I am happy with this change to spice things up again.

- Artifact: Great change to the artifact where once a mod is unlocked, you have that benefit. No need to waste time trying to fit it in an armor mod slot.

- Nimbus and Rohan: Great new characters that honestly seem like Gods. I do wish we had more time to learn about these characters in the Campaign.

Cons:

- The overall story is overshadowed by last year's 'The Witch Queen' expansion and feels more like a filler of what's to come with the Final Shape in 2024. There are things to like about the campaign but some parts did feel a bit rushed and could have reduced some parts, while improving on key talking points in the story.

- Although this is not a big deal, I am not a fan of flying into Neomuna and heading to a flag to start a mission. All story missions should just start from the main screen.

- Neomuna is great visually but it feels extremely empty unless there's a public event happening. It would be nice if there was more to do.
