Honestly This is worth it in my opinion, a lot of people hating on the newer dlc's but if you look at it from a non toxic point of view you see it as a lot of content with a lot of new fun mechanics, with this bundle i got the entire beyond light story and campaign which was quite long and probably one of the most immersive times i have had, diving deep down into an ancient exo factory learning about how they where born and the lore behind it, its all very mysterious and gives you reason to keep going to find the answers, even if you haven't payed attention to the previous campaigns i think they did a good job on making a new attached story that is perfectly fit into the base game, sure some of the destinations they removed sucks but if i'm being honest i don't care, i don't miss them at all and i only went on them to get a few exotics which i no longer use, i think a good way to put it is this new expansion has done a very good job at making the game feel refreshed and giving you more power to destroy pve and pvp enemies, sure its a little op compared to those without it but it really is worth that sacrifice since it just makes pve just that much better. being able to freeze and shatter enemies in a massive ice-splosion is extremely satisfying and the crunch sound makes it even better.

I definitely have things i dislike about it such as nerfing warlock every fk*ng time we get something good, an example is the freeze time on the abilities and grenade where nerfed but on hunter and titan they get better and more powerful freeze abilities and quite frankly overpowered supers compared to warlock, hunter gets two scythe type blades you throw that create a moving tornado type thing that constantly damages, slows and freeze's anyone within a 10m radius and lasts for around 30 seconds, they also just got an exotic that makes their coldsnap grenade (the one that the freeze time got nerfed on warlock from 2 seconds to 0.75 seconds) that allows it to chain to two instead of one enemy and freezes for 3.75 seconds. very funny bungie. second titan lol i mean there are memes about titan being best class and its because they all know its true, they get to gain armour to make them literally invulnerable and able to run at you and you die, slam the floor and you die. punch you and you die, and lasts for like 45 seconds, they also got an exotic that allows them to gain a overshield with cast and i believe also makes barricade give you one too, best part the newest titan exotic makes it so you are not only invulnerable to freezing but on the chance you do you break out in 0.25 seconds and deal 100 + dmg to everyone within 10 metres around you. you also gain a damage boost to all primary solar weapons that can stack up to 4 or 5 times, with one stack which is half of a freeze you gain two stacks on breaking out of ice you can one shot body shot with a sniper and more, its just straight busted.

People are also hating on the new armour synthesis and honestly its because of all the fake news outlets making bias posts and influencing youtubers to spread that bias, people saying it takes 25 hours to get enough synthesis to make a single custom set, when this is just incorrect, on completion of two dialogue npc's you gain 5 synthstrands for each class for free and another 10 universal ones which can be used on any class, then you can also spend 15mins a day for every day in the season to get all possible synthstrands, considering the average session playtime ranges from 2 to 8 hours a day or some times a week this is a very easy grind, for active players. an hour a week IS NOT A LONG GRIND.

I would say beyond light has an easy 30 hours of gameplay and that's just on one class there are 3 with unique exotics and abilities, along side something like 12 fragments which modify or enhance certain parts of the stasis system, and also 3 augments which substantially change or empower you different for each class.

Overall worth it especially since it includes 5 or 4 seasons which is 2.5 to 2 years of content not including beyond light itself, its very fun and a good expansion for those looking to feel strong again.
