As you may know, I'm pretty conflicted about Destiny 2. On the one hand, I love short breaks shooting enemies with tight controls, playing solo in a multiplayer world. However, I find the grinding systems far too involving and even something as simple as kicking off a new campaign demands an hour plus of my time. I was going to pass on The Witch Queen but after earning $110 in Microsoft Rewards this week and seeing the 4000 point Rewards bonus for this DLC, I caved.
I also read several glowing reviews and thought I might enjoy it. And I did, up to a point.
The game offered me several false starts, insisted I learn new upgrade mechanics before jumping in (and making it hard to understand what I needed to do and clear the message to proceed), and finally a server error at the top of this stream (my third try) caused a reset. I also spent some time looking for the start before finally getting into the new chapter. As usual, it can be hard to know where to go so you'll see me grapple with this from time to time (I die so you don't have to!). I also meant to cut the feed around 38 minutes but it kept going, so this is closer to an hour. It took me another 20 minutes to finish the level and get to where I could save and quit.
Oh Destiny, why do you torture me so?
