Beyond Light is the fifth large add-on to Destiny 2 online FPS. The expansion offers a new campaign and allows heroes to use the powers of The Darkness for the first time (until now they could only use the powers of Light).

Game Revolution: 2 / 5 by Jason Faulkner
With the release of Beyond Light, Destiny 2 struggles to give players to continue investing time into it. Any content you buy or items you earn in the game are subject to removal at Bungie’s whim; we’re just buying a license to play the content, not the content itself.
GameSpot: 8 / 10 by Phil Hornshaw
With Beyond Light, Destiny 2 can still get cyclical and repetitious, but its new abilities and improved storytelling make it feel much more alive.
Destructoid: 6.5 / 10 by Chris Carter
My advice? Wait to see how the next-gen upgrade of Destiny 2 shakes out if you're either on the fence about returning, or jumping in for the first time. Come December 8, it should be a drastically different experience, as the lessened load times and sharper visuals (and performance) should help smooth over some of Destiny 2's shortcomings. It still has many.
Destiny 2: Beyond Light Description
Destiny 2: Beyond Light is the fifth big add-on (after Curse of Osiris, Warmind, Forsaken and Shadowkeep) to the Destiny 2 online shooter. The expansion was developed by Bungie studio, the team responsible for the basic version of the game and early versions of the Halo series.
Plot
The feature expansion moves the entire universe of Destiny 2, continuing the story of the invasion of giant pyramid-shaped ships. They are associated with a force known only as the Darkness, a deadly enemy of The Traveller.
Destiny 2: Beyond Light focuses on Europe, one of the moons of Jupiter. So far, it was believed that it is only a cemetery of the remains of the Golden Age. It is now becoming one of the most important places in the solar system. From the ancient Pyramids, a new power is born over the frozen surface of the moon, and beneath it a dark empire of the Fallen under the banner of the mighty Eramis.
Mechanics
As a matter of fact, Destiny 2: Beyond Light focuses on offering new content, but also introduces significant changes in the gameplay. The guards are no longer confined to using only light-related abilities. Through the expansion for the first time, they can also begin to wield the power of Stasis, which is associated with The Darkness. Each of the three character classes thus obtains different abilities useful in combat.
Destiny 2: Beyond Light offers a new feature campaign that we can play alone or together with other players. Additional Strike co-op missions are also available, as well as a powerful raid in the form of the Deep Stone Crypt. There was also a rich set of previously unknown objects, weapons and armour.
Technical aspects
Beyond Light is a non-dependent expansion, so you need the basic version of Destiny 2 to play. However, this is not an obstacle to play, as the game uses a free micropayment model.
