    I sincerely hope there’s no “Destiny 3” on the minds of Bungie anytime soon. Instead, I want to see them treat this game like a true ongoing service for the next five years. Let it grow, become massive in content and scope. And if there ever is a Destiny 3, you’d better make it carry over all the progress of players’ work in D2. In any case, I’m loving the direction that Destiny 2 is headed.

    Sure, Mercury’s small, the strikes are a letdown, and many players are cut off from prestige events, but between the world building, new gear, and gameplay features such as new Crucible maps and the Raid Lair, there’s a fair amount of fun to be had in Curse of Osiris.

    Curse of Osiris offers little as far as content is concerned. The brief campaign is forgettable and treated more like hold-over content than a proper full expansion. The only real redeeming feature about Curse of Osiris are the Raid Lairs.

    This would be great if it were a free update to the game, but as a paid expansion it's severely lacking. [Feb 2018, p.72]

    Curse of Osiris does not improve Destiny 2 the way someone might wish. New players won't definitely be attracted, but fans will be pleased with the new content. [Issue#282]

    Curse of Osiris feels more like a cash grab rather than a true expansion. It most certainly does nothing to stop the fanbase of players from leaving the game in favor of other titles. There is simply not enough content to improve the base game to the point that would keep players engaged for a longer time. The uninteresting campaign story and unexciting end game activities that rarely offer any challenge, makes Curse of Osiris a really weak expansion. If not for the new Raid Lair and the new Adventures, I wouldn't be able to say anything good about the new DLC.

    Curse of Osiris landed in Destiny 2 with a thud. Its campaign and story are a bust, its new content is mixed and buggy at best, and it does nothing to address the community’s loud cries for fixes to the endgame. The few redeeming features are its more challenging and varied Adventures, and the Raid Lair’s puzzles and tough boss battle.

    Curse of Osiris is good enough for players who love cosmetic things, but for hardcore players? No. Bungie failed to deliver the expected amount of content.

    I marveled at the beauty of some new landscapes, but I will remember Curse of Osiris as a string of disappointments. Dumb story, few new features, endless grind, poorly balanced difficulty, awfully lame final encounter. [02/2018, p.49]

    i beat the story in an hour. 20 dollars. an hour. what do you want me to say? its an update not dlc. they basically said "the light cap isi beat the story in an hour. 20 dollars. an hour. what do you want me to say? its an update not dlc. they basically said "the light cap is higher now , do your milestones for another 2 weeks until you're done with the game again" they reuse the same maps over and over and even have the gall to use them in "new strikes" i mean seriously, go to a bargain bin and buy literally anything for 20 bucks, your money is wasted here. mercury is the size of a freaking strike. 1 public event. 1 loot cave. just pass. i own this on both PC and PS4, holy crap what a mistake… Full Review »

    This is a very short DLC with no new enemies and seemingly a significant amount of recycled art assets and encounters. Things could haveThis is a very short DLC with no new enemies and seemingly a significant amount of recycled art assets and encounters. Things could have easily been cobbled together from destiny 1 and 2 to create this DLC.

    Story was not good at all and the game play was bland. The final boss fight was a joke and simply existed not really posing a threat, i was expecting a better story. With 2 players the story was completed in 1 hr 30min. 3 heroic adventures were completed in 45 minutes after that. The 3 golden chests are obtained in about 10 minutes and the lost sector is maybe 10 minutes. Strikes are short after that if you get them through your playlist, the strikes are recycled campaign. Other than 1 easy PQ there is not much left after that. Some of the new exotics are interesting. PvP was busted by a bugged weapon.

    Mercury is simply too small.

    Raid is unreleased but I am not convinced it will be anything special considering the current offerings of this DLC.    … Full Review »
