Destiny 2’s New Glaives Review: They’re Amazing!

I wasn’t thrilled with the idea of ​​Bungie adding Glaivis to destiny 2. Something about the initial pitch seemed out of place in a game like destiny 2. But now after many, many hours of playing witch queen, I am pleased to report that the former Zack was an idiot. Glaives are great.

destiny 2 latest expansion, The Witch Queenis very good. Others here and on the internet have already said so. So I won’t spend too much time repeating them or myself. But yes, the new narrative campaign It’s great to pay off story threads from years ago

. Still, witch queen adds new twists and folds to that (admittedly). way too complex sometimes) universe of determination. All that, plus the amazing looks The new zone added in the expansion – Savathun’s own throne world – is really awesome. It’s just my favourite determination expansion in years.

Sometimes, especially when fighting the Hive, you will find yourself in situations where you will be attacked by melee and ranged fighters at long, medium, and close range.

Sure, I know the experts and min/max obsessives destiny 2 Fans will likely point out some tweaks and nerfs that Bungie has applied to Glaives since Witch Queen launched. And they might also point out that this special weapon is actually more effective or does it better for crowd control or whatever.

And I say to them: That’s cool.

I’ll have fun beating the shit out from Fallen and Hive with my magic space stick, smiling and laughing the whole time.
