“Destiny 2” did away with that approach, by and large, trading the Clarke-and-Kubrick vibe for mainstream blockbuster action in the vein of Bungie’s earlier success, “Halo.” But Forsaken rolls back the clock on that, too, introducing a new library of unlockable in-game lore and a whole lot of interdimensional strangeness - portals between realities, outlaw alien gunslingers, lots of teeth and tentacles. Its incoherent narrative and inscrutable lore gave players a mystery to puzzle out, and reasons to keep playing, and those who wanted to try to really understand it could read more of the story in prose form at Bungie’s website. The grind of leveling up and collecting relevant gear is slow and steady again, and exotic items feel truly rare and meaningful for the first time since the launch of the original “Destiny.” What’s old is new again, but Forsaken also innovates and reinvigorates this joint effort from Bungie and High Moon Studios outdoes even 2015’s “Destiny: The Taken King.” “ Destiny 2’s” Forsaken expansion is the most interesting thing to happen to the series in four years.
