It veers dangerously close to jingoistic militarism before reverting to what Destiny does best once you penetrate the Deep Stone Crypt : Monumental firefights and sprinkles of existentialism to keep you on edge.

How often do videogames take you to space and back again in a wonderfully circular movement around a single boss fight ? That's what happens when Bungie doesn't take itself so seriously and instead plays to the strengths of their franchise. The best raid since Leviathan.

I kinda wish they spent all their time and energy just making prestige-design content like Raids. I hate needing 5 people but its the most meaningful content they produce.

Not viable economically-speaking, we know that like 10/20% of players actually engage with raid content even though it's clearly the design peak of the franchise. It feels insane to me because I spent so long inside Destiny but most people are actually content with doing their seasonal, ritual activities and shooting shit up in PvP. Even with some luck raiding requires a lot of effort and coordination. Deep Stone Crypt during the first week took me a total of 12 hours (most of it at Atrax and Taniks).
