Destiny 2's The Witch Queen was regarded as one of the best expansions released so far in the entire franchise, and it's often compared to the heights of Forsaken and The Taken King. The Witch Queen introduced plenty of interesting themes and locations to Destiny 2, such as Savathun's ship and her Throne World, and the campaign also tackled what it means to operate in a morally gray area where it's hard to tell what's right and wrong.
