Not great, no. It added the new strand subclass which is the best selling point. The campaign was not very good.
Neomuna is ok as a player space, but they made everything super difficult, but with zero additional rewards. Nobody goes there. It isn't that a challenge is bad, but there's nothing to do there to reward that challenge. It is like nearly endgame difficulty with no endgame rewards. It is bizarre that they never fixed it.
If you find it cheap and plan on staying with the game for a bit, strand is kind of a big deal. Generally the best subclass for any character now. I think you have to own Lightfall to use strand, which kind of sucks. I think you have to buy it and finish the campaign.
Overall, definitely one of the lesser DLCs. Witch Queen was way better, and I actually preferred Shadowkeep.
It is free with PS+.
I assume Forsaken and the Moon expansions are part of the free base game now? I have Witch Queen and Lightfall drops Tuesday. Anything missing?
I have no idea at this point, everything got so confusing. I don't know if they ever made the old stuff free yet.
I didn't care for shadow keep it gave year 1 D2 like lazy vibes.
Lightfall is ok and at least offers a new area,its more challenging,new enemies and a new subclass.
I find it underrated and witch queen overrated. But both just ok.
Taken King and Forsaken are much better.
Destiny 1 as a whole is just so much better as a cohesive experience. So many good times were had between 2014-2016.
Destiny has been a wild ride over 10 years. Lots of ups and downs, but a lot of fun over the years.
The new Onslaught mode is really fun, and farming the "new" (recycled) brave weapons is fun.

Played a few hours last night. Enjoyed it. But felt a bit lost.
Game looks pretty great. I forgot it looked so good.
Any weapon recommendations I should grind for?

Finish the Lightfall campaign so you can get your strand subclass is probably #1 if you haven't already.
There's a new hoard mode called Onslaught with a bunch of re-issued weapons that are good (and the mode is lots of fun). I don't know what the min level to get in is, but I think the main difficulty scales.
I have to wait until Tuesday for Lightfall (that is when it hits PS+essential) but I will do that ASAP.
Where do I find Onslaught?
There's a new area in the map (or you might need a quest to open it up), where theres a (new copy) of Shaxx that gives out bounties for things like (new) Mountaintop, Blast Furnace, etc. It is a long room with a bunch of chests, and Shaxx at the end. The new free update is "Into the Light".
The game is totally confusing if you fall behind though, it is one of the huge complaints. Even I have 4+ pages or quests and random things.
Hung Jury with Kinetic Tremors and explosive pay load.
Played pretty much all weekend. Lightfall dropped today.
The Brave weapon attuning does that only effect drop rate in onslaught?

Yes, you can only get brave weapons through onslaught (or the bounty that gives you one). Attuning gives that one a 50% chance to drop (so you still get others).
I think the old expansions are all going free on PS now too. Shadowkeep, Beyond Light and Witch Queen. Not sure on other platforms.
Shadowkeep seems to be included in the base game now. Forsaken is still missing, though.
I'm still hunting Auto-loading Holster + Recombination for Mountaintop. Tried all week last week and nothing. 
Which is ridiculous considering how old that is.
But yeah, Forsaken, Witch Queen, Beyond Light, and Lightfall are all missing from the base game. Witch Queen and Lightfall have been part of the PS+ monthly games. Not sure why Beyond Light wasn't.
The Brave weapons will get enhanced mods in Final Shape and are far from crap.
Brave weapons are definitely worth chasing. Onslaught mode is lots of fun. You can run the 10 round one for practice, then the 50 round one. There's regular and legend difficulty. Regular is easy, just note that it does take a solid hour+ to get done.
The weapons are really good with some good perk combos (so you aren't reliant on getting the "god" roll).
Some of the weapon drops are randomly "shiny", pre-masterworked with multiple perks.
Definitely the most fun I've had in Destiny in awhile. Fun activity with good rewards.
Here's my best so far (although I rarely use hand cannons). I still can't get a decent roll on Mountaintop or Forbearance.

Onslaught is actually not bad and pretty quick. I would give it a try.
