This story is conceptually fine, but the execution of it is absolutelyawful.
Compared to Savathun’s many appearances throughout The Witch Queen, though, Calus doesn’t get much screentime.
One thing that Lightfall’s campaign mostly gets right is gameplay.
The Neomuna we got, though, is nothing like this.
There’s barely anything to fight or do as you explore the streets of the city.
Neomuna also lacks the verticality that was marketed in Lightfall’s various pre-release trailers.
All of the Strand subclasses are a joy to use, as their abilities encourage active, action-heavy playstyles.
If there’s one reason to buy the Lightfall expansion, it’s Strand.
The majority of the new gear is great, and I’ve enjoyed incorporating it into my loadouts.
A gear piece’s style is part of its appeal, after all.
How did we go from The Witch Queen to this?
Despite its many issues, both Strand and its gear are quite powerful and enjoyable to use.
