    Amazing storyline that will unfold over the rest of the season; kick-started by the raid on Saturday. Simple QoL improvements make the game impeccably balanced and more fun to play. They have paved the way for an insane year and more.

    You can tell the team have poured their lives into this and it really does show. PvP improvements make the game more enjoyable, new maps and new playlists shake everything up. New weapons, new lore, new everything.

    The new entry point at 750 with New Light has made it a lot easier for my friends to jump in and join with me and enjoy the game. If you haven't tried this out yet, and you're a fan of Halo or similar - give it a go. You won't be disappointed.    … Expand

    Destiny 2 turned into one of the best games available in 2020. Shadowkeep and Forsaken are amazing! I highly recommend it to fans of both shooters and fans of Action RPGs.

    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.

    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.

    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. (oh P.S the servers were only **** for launch day, I myself haven’t had any issues since)    … Expand

    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. Overall this is a great start for Bungie's first project since Activision left.… Expand

    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

    Hey. I am from Russia, so sorry for the mistakes.
    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!
    Yes it’s not forsaken, but also very good, and in some places better!

    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".

    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

    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.

    This is more Destiny, if you didn’t like it before, not much is going to change that. If you enjoy the gun play, and perk combos, the story and characters, then buckle in. This is the kick-off for an amazing year of content.

    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.

    A slightly smaller but still great addition with wonderful atmosphere and a collection of new activities. A must-play for Destiny players and a good reason for everyone else to jump onto the “Destiny Train”. In the case of PC version, it is also on Steam. [Issue#299]

    Shadowkeep delivers on our expectations, giving us more of the things about Destiny we like, while reminding us that nostalgia ain't what it used to be. [Issue#139, p.106]

    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.”
