Good, but nowhere near as good as what most people are saying. The storytelling is laughably bad per usual for Destiny but it attempts to have characters and emotion and "big moments" so it's better than most destiny stories by default. The Witness is an awful villain with no presence and a abysmal character design. Destiny deserved a better "final boss" than them.

The campaign, raid and Dual destiny mission are all excellently designed, challenging and wonderful PVE shooter stuff! The new enemy faction The Dread are cool but underutilized and you can definitely tell they weren't intended to be in the expansion pre-delay.

Unfortunately like every expansion after Forsaken, there's a severe lack of content outside of this so you'll be repeating the same strikes and playing gambit on the same 6 year old maps because Bungie refuses to update the core game and the new episodic content model is near identical to the much maligned seasonal model so i don't expect much to change over time. It's their best since Forsaken but there's so many issues at destiny 2's core that can't be addressed by adding more distractions to the game.
