    Destiny 2 is a blast out of the gate thanks to its excellent gameplay and strong storytelling in the campaign and tons of content, the bosses are all interesting in their own way.The voice acting is fantastic, as a die-hard fan of Destiny I am very much enjoying Shadowkeep and returning to the moon also replaying Destiny 2 Forsaken.

    I say that Shadowkeep is an exciting new chapter in Destiny 2 and is absolutely worth trying and gives players a great sense of immersion in the gorgeous worlds.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The servers being down day one was bad but once I got in was blown away by the story and the moon. The moon remains similar to destiny 1 but with more areas and changes. Giant red towers and huge cracks in the moon make it stand out from other planets in destiny 2. The story is good from what I have played. Your guardian actually talks!! They FINALY introduced the triangles that you see at the end of the original campaign in D2. The weapon changes and super changes are also great. Titan is actually a good class to play now and not useless because of the bubble buff (aka weapons of light). I would say if you liked destiny 2 or 1 before you will really like shadowkeep. Also people leaving 0 ratings for the servers being down STOP you haven’t even played the story you can’t rate a game if you haven’t even played it… Expand

    This is an amazing addition to the game and it seems that bungie is taking a step in the right direction. Giving this a 10 to help balance the tests who don't know how to review games properly.

    Shadowkeep is a great expansion to Destiny 2. If you may not have liked destiny 2 before, you might like it now if you have played D1. The moon returning is a great addition to an already massive game. If you are complaining about the servers, just wait. Bungie will announce when the servers will be back online.

    For those saying this is "recycled content", I strongly disagree. This is "recycled" in the same way that a movie sequel featuring many of the same locations and characters is "recycled".

    Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is a take on the . Since the beginning, our Guardians have risen to the occasion, only to overcome a great evil and win the day. Of course, Shadowkeep is an underline on this theme, however it is the way it’s delivered that is the one thing it does well.

    New addon to your favorite game, what could be better? A cool and incomprehensible (as always) plot, a sticky atmosphere from the first part and a mountain of booty!

    방랑자, 에이다1) 어떤 사람들은 (평론가들) 정크푸트라며 비하할 수 있지만 데스티니는 분명 만듬새가 견고한 게임이다. 수 많은 노가다 요소는 분명하게도 지루함을 유발하고 동기를 약하게 만든다. 그들은 그런 퀘스트 디자인 실패이후 조금 씩 완화됐지만 좋지 않은 부분들이 분명있다. (가시, 유언이 대표적이다.) 그들은 개선을 거듭하고 있다. 검은 무기고부터 들어온 나에게는 많은 것이 바뀌었고 개선되었고 변화를 추구하려는 모습들이 보인다. 하지만 전작에서 답습하는 똑같은 적들, 무기, 등장인물 게임이 처음 나올때부터 플레이한 유저들에게는 그저 재탕요소를 섞어서 만들어낸 그저 65000짜리 리메이크겜이다. 무조건적이게 데스티니를 찬양하지는 못한다. 비판이 충분히 있어야 된다. 번지는 계속해서 달력을 공개하고 우리를 기다리게 만들지만 그들이 내놓은 음식들과 사이드메뉴가 맛이 하나도 없다면 나는 가차없이 데스티니를 떠날꺼다. 하지만 데스티니1를 해보지 않은 나로써는 달이란 행성, 그리고 과거의 악몽들은 꽤나 매력적이다.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So to address some of the common low ratings...

    Okay so the dlc is a total of $40 (CAD) which includes strictly shadowkeep, sure its recycled content but for what we got to expand on the game is great.

    The story is seemingly short as many complained, but what people haven’t realized is that for The $60 (CAD) Verizon you get the Annual pass. Which is a continuation of the main story. (meaning the campaign isn’t over, it’ll just span out within the year) So for the overall price point of $60 you get a YEARS worth of content to expand and evolve the game and it’s story.

    The new gameplay feels much better and the story finally is building up to the bigger story that the destiny universe holds. To those saying the story sucks, I want to say that the story of this year is too large to be told in one campaign. This story will span the entirety of this year and probably for the rest of destiny 2

    Bungie showed its old self when developing this game as the details are amazing and the storyline is surprisingly good.

The gameplay is just amazing as players are allowed to customize their characters in-depth with tools like armor 2.0 and ornaments. Armor 2.0 allows players to chose the mods they want instead of grinding for hours for mediocre perks. All Eververse armor is now an ornament that can be put on any piece of Armor 2.0 gear. This allows for even more customization as players can play with the best looking gear in the game. Bright dust can now be earned more easily and can be used to purchase items in Eververse, rather than using silver.

    If the story had a conclusion, it hasn't happened yet. But, that's not why you play Destiny. You play Destiny to stick with it through the long haul. I'm confident the conclusion to Shadowkeep's main campaign, whenever it comes, will be fantastic.

    Sin duda una muy buena ampliación a la historia que nos deja con mucha intriga de lo que va a pasar.
    En contenido esta bastante bien ya que nos trae un montón de actividades y futuras misiones que están por venir.
    El regresar a la luna es un buen toque de nostalgia para los jugadores veteranos, también hay que valorar de que este dlc facilita la inclusión al juego a nuevos jugadores.

    It's a pity that all these great changes are overshadowing the core content of the Shadowkeep expansion, but I can't say I'm surprised. For newcomers to the universe, Destiny 2 will be quite overwhelming, while veterans of the series might not find enough reasons to buy the new Shadowkeep expansion unless they really want to check out the new raid and all the gear it drops. But I'm leaning towards “wait for sale.”
