In years past, many have been begging Bungie to churn out a free to play version of Destiny. Well, this group of screaming gamers for a few days finally has bread for their teeth: years after the franchise's debut in fact - after being freed from Activision, the house that gave birth to Halo has distributed for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One - Destiny 2: A New Light finally comes out, a re-edition of Destiny 2 including many of the contents characterizing the sparacchina work of the software house based in Belleuve.
Although missing, for obvious reasons, some of the playful delicacies reserved for owners of Shadows from the Deep - of which Epic Videogames Guide is already preparing a tasty review - Destiny 2: A New Light represents the optimal gateway to the series for all those who have never bitten into the substantial pulp of which the very popular first-person brand is made.
New users will find themselves taking their first steps relying on a guardian already set at a level of Light, 750, such as to be able to allow them to start with extreme agility the various businesses that await them at the gate. As in the very first Destiny, the opening mission of A New Light takes place in an amazing way in the Cosmodrome: a pleasant surprise, as well as a wonderful return to the origins for all those who have never virtually trod those alienating areas of Russia.
Returning to the bombshell on the contents proposed by A New Light, we first specify that any destination (excluding those of Shadowkeep) can be visited and explored freely, as well as it is possible to take part in the raids of Year 1 (including the Leviathan). To corroborate everything, the presence of (almost) all the assaults, the Crucible and Gambit intervenes. As if that weren't enough in addition to the main Destiny 2 campaign, the presence of the DLC The Curse of Osiris and The Warring Mind they outline a cornucopia from the content that is decidedly inviting, considering that all this goodness is practically playable for free.
Speaking of what is not there: in addition to the aforementioned absence of the main quests of Shadows from the Deep, we highlight the non-appearance of the campaign of Forsaken plus Last Wish, Wrath of the Past, Crown of Torment and Shattered Throne, along with all the weapons and armor of the Year 2. Also missing are all the new subclasses introduced by the last expansion.
If Una Nuova Luce is to your liking, the user will obviously be able to unlock all the contents left out of this free to play edition by purchasing one (or more) expansion packs from the various stores that can smooth out the aforementioned content differences.
Destiny 2: A New Light manifests itself in a period, that of the publication of Shadowfall, damn interesting to access the magnificent Bungie universe without spending, it is appropriate to say, not even a euro. The main activities, in fact, are all usable and, although missing some of the areas and items that are driving a large part of the community crazy, they keep their charm unaltered. The soul of Destiny, the lore of the production, the sometimes outrageously high challenge rate, the grinding, every aspect remains unchanged even in this "sweetened" version. At least giving him an opportunity seems, right now, an impossible goal not to pursue, considering how the cost of the ticket is zero.
With this Destimy 2: A New Light, Bungie has set out to take a path previously unexplored by the Destiny franchise. Although lacking a lot of content released during the last two years of the series, this free to play edition really represents a very valid reason to test a production about which a lot has been said and written. So in case you haven't tried it yet, now is probably the time to do it. The grind mechanics that have always distinguished the series may not please many, but do not test Destiny now that it is mostly free, it appears at least criminal.
