![]() ![]() Making matters worse is the fact that half of the levels are low-stakes tutorials for Strand, Lightfall’s new Darkness power that (unlike Beyond Light’s Stasis) has zero narrative context and appears for no identifiable reason. Even Destiny’s biggest lore YouTuber can’t figure the story out. Throughout the campaign, you never even learn what The Veil is despite everyone around you acting like it’s obvious, and several other key plot threads aren’t adequately explained, either.
