Legendary campaign is of a similar gameplay quality as that of the one from Witch Queen, so pretty good, and I really like a lot of the new changes to build crafting and the new subclass. However the utterly terrible narrative, bad characterisation and massive number of reused assets (both with map objects and weapons, as opposed to a normal $10 season which gets all new weapons) indicate to me that this DLC was made on an incredibly short timetable and it really, really shows.
I could write an essay here on all the dumb stuff that made no sense or describe how disjointed it all feels between different characters apparently recalling alternate versions of events which change depending on which voice lines they're currently reading despite that event only happening about two minutes ago, but that would all be more effort than Bungie put into writing it, so I won't bother.
What I will say is it all feels like a massive kick in the teeth to go from around two years of solid narrative and coming off the back of the truly great DLC we got in Witch Queen to suddenly get this objectively far worse piece of content, and all this with only a year to go before the conclusion of the big 10-year story arc when narrative cohesion really matters most (and can Bungie even be trusted to bring it to a good conclusion at this point? I'm not sure I do).
