    This game came with my 1080Ti graphics card and I looked forward to trying Destiny 2 upon its release. For 70 hours I have, and this is my review:

    1.) The gameplay is repetitive, but varied enough to enjoy many times over and through many different activities. 2.) The gaming environments are beautiful and encourage exploration through the finding of region chests and Lost Sectors.

    2.) The gaming environments are beautiful and encourage exploration through the finding of region chests and Lost Sectors.
    3.) The NPCs are actually intelligent, causing many encounters to be fun and challenging.
    4.) Character models and gear are sleek and cool to look at and change at a rapid rate, keeping your character looking awesome in a multitude of ways, all the time.
    5.) It is recommended you play this game with your friends. Work together to complete challenges, raids, and crucible matches. It's great!

    1 point off for lack of social features. It is interesting they chose to default microphone on when the majority of players are too insecure to speak with strangers using their real voice. Perhaps Destiny 2 will urge people to break out of their shells? Here's to hoping!    … Expand

    I started playing whit the game in the “vanilla” Destiny 2.
    But now 10. 2019., after 70 hour in the new expansion (Shadowkeep) i can say: this is the best online - looter - shooter game.
    Cons:
    - 1-2 item too grindfest

    Pro:
    - Netcode very good
    - Graphic, sounds very good
    - Gameplay, and gunplaye is awesome
    - Whit the 2 expansion we have lots of content (both PvP and PvE)

    I bought the game form the Humble Bundle monthly subscription, didn't expect much, but it blew my mind. The game is mmo-rpg based with a good single player campaign. Optimization of the game is one of the best, i can play it on my laptop which is about 3 years old and by the time of its release wasn't that powerful.

    GG. One of the few games my friends can all agree on. Combining multiple genres, you can shoot, you can loot, and there is a healthy dose of theory-crafting. Lots of hidden guns, achievements, and fun to be had.

    if you like shooting and fascinating lore this may be the game for you.

    The game has its flaws but i have played from launch and still do, very much enjoying myself. Recently there has been much more of a focus on the lore of the world, so together with gradual expansions the game has vastly improved from launch.

    The reviews on the user section are not the best representation for this game. They are based on old reviews (when the game first came out) and before it became what it is today, which is a fantastic game. Bungie really upped their game and made this game a whole lot better. Don't use the user score of 3.8 to determine its quality now as it has dramatically improved.

    Ever since going free-to-play, Destiny 2 became an FPS-RPG giant packed with 3 free campaigns, numerous armors and weapons, customization options, maps, quests, game modes and reasonable microtransactions. But most importantly, the gunplay in this game is a masterpiece.

    As a PC gamer, I've never played the first Destiny game. I jumped into Destiny 2 with my little brother and my friend for a coop campaign and was not disappointed.

    Sure, the story is bland, generic, and subtly tries to promote Christianity, but it at least has hilarious and cheerful Cayde. Gameplay is OK. It's not very complex, resembles Borderlands a lot, but at least it's simple.    As a PC gamer, I've never played the first Destiny game.

    Once i was checking what kind of free to play games Steam is offering. I saw that Destiny 2 is free and i downloaded the game. It turned out to be a great game. The multiplayer feature is made pretty well, but i didn’t quite enjoy the Curse Of Osiris and Warmind. The main story was ok. So what do i think about the game. It’s a good game from Bungie and it gets 8/10 from me.

The game is running brilliantly with my i7 4790K and GTX 960 SC, constantly staying at 60 FPS aside from the occasional dip to around 55 FPS.

    The endgame is a little lackluster at the moment, but seems promising. My biggest complaint at this point (besides the intermittent game crash that happens) is the lack of a "Local" chat. It's way too hard to interact with other players that aren't already friends.    … Expand

    Visuals - mediocre. Textures are nothing special, some environmental models are good, but everything else is disappointing. Antialiasing is bad (outdated tech), and world feels sterile. Like there are no particles in the air or somesuch. There are just two scenes in the game that made me feel wow - the upclose sun and Pyramidion strike (inside).

    Audio - weak. Gunshots are bleak and    Visuals - mediocre. Textures are nothing special, some environmental models are good, but everything else is disappointing.

    Audio - weak. Gunshots are bleak and uninteresting. Enemy sounds, environmental - nothing to write home about.

    Class mechanics - played only 1 of 3 classes, but tried all 3 subclasses. They're practically indistinguishable. There are only 2 abilities - grenade and ult. And that's for all classes and subclasses. Warframe has dozens of "classes", each having a passive and 4 distinct abilities, along with Operator abilities and passives.

    Mobility - compared to Warframe - very weak. No special hits on slide, no diving on enemies, no rolling on the ground.

    Weapons - weak. Extremely limited variance. Very limited tactical modding like choosing a scope, etc. Mostly ugly weapon models. There are some good ones for Exotic quality though.

    Story - weak. 5 year olds might get excited, though. Zavala is voiced by the FBI chief from Fringe, and I love that man's voice but it's mismatched for Zavala. Every time Zavala speaks I cringe and notice how that voice is a bad fit for him.

    Social part - VERY BAD. No talking to other players, no matchmaking for nightfall strikes, raids.

    Music - doesn't get on my nerves and I'm very picky, and sometimes (on Nessus) it's really good.

    The only good thing I can mention is, despite all that, it's kinda fun to do brainless shooting of hordes of enemies on some missions.

    Also cannot purchase the game as a gift to someone, Blizzard shop tells me it's not allowed for my currency. Well done, guys. Billion dollar companies and all that.    … Expand

The game is also rewarding for people who play together. Another thing is: do not listen to user reviews that give it a 5 or below. This is before Bungie took full control, and Activision was messing everything up. Bungie, finally getting the rights to it, but everything back in place. One more thing is that this game's story? Not just the end to it. Much more to do, as I said. One of the best is hunting for lore: there is lore to be found through triumphs, looking around, and it reveals things not many people know.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like the game, the campaign is fine, PVP is fine but what really makes me like the game is the soundtracks and how they use them in the game and they are epic soundtracks but only when used correctly basically if Bungie put a soundtrack at a random time where its dull and nothings happening its useless but when you put the right soundtrack at the right time you feel excited and ready for anything, for example, the mission where you reclaim the subclass that you used at the first mission aka the one where you spawn in front of a place with a lot of fire or "Homecoming" you used (gunslinger for hunter, voidwalker for warlock and striker for titan), so back to the point in that mission a soundtrack called "inner light" plays and I think its a great soundtrack used in the right time but if you used it in orbit it will be useless so that one of the reasons I gave this game an 8 and if I was critic I would give it an 80-85.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bungie's new instalment of the Destiny franchise, Destiny 2, seems to come with a lot of controversies.
    The game is basically a large extension of Destiny and it brings the game to a new port, which for me was huge as a PC player. I will subdivide some genres to make clear the strong and weak points of this game.

    -Story-
    The story of Destiny 2 is a very simple one. Basically, after defeating some of the darkness in the first Instalment, some new threat had to be implemented to become a large enough deal to work a story around. However, it felt rather spontaneous and not very persistent. For example; your special powers as a guardian are being taken away in the first mission, only to regain it within the next hour of gameplay, this makes it feel as though the game's story is dismissible at first. The story implemented in Destiny 2 feels as though it was meant to introduce you to the new world of play so that you can better start off at your maximum level with slight area knowledge. The story is not the selling point of this game, therefore I'd like to stress that this is in fact not that big of a deal to anyone who bought Destiny 2 for the right reasons. Overall the story felt serious enough to do, yet dismissible enough not to properly remember.

    -Gameplay and Classes-
    Once again they use the same classes as the first instalment, Warlock, Titan and Hunter. Each is specialised in their own traits (as the classes imply) and feel very unique. I have to give a straight A for this class system. The classes give a strong sense of uniqueness and are powerful in each of their subclasses when used correctly. For example, a Warlock can become a Stormcaller, Voidwalker or Sunblade. Subsequently, these classes are good at Mob management, Boss nuking, and PvP combat.
    This makes neither of all the subclasses ever feel unnecessary or useless.

    How the gameplay feels is very much based on how well you know your class. Someone who is great at playing Destiny 2 will find the Gameplay extremely smooth and satisfying and someone who is not will likely find it very difficult or rough. Though this does decrease the accessibility to crowds that are not about serious gaming. Overall the Gameplay feels rather smooth.

    -Loot and Rewards-
    There are several rewards that you can earn in Destiny 2 for doing several things. The most common reward at max level is engrams. Engrams are random items of a certain rarity that you have to go and 'open' at a vendor. You can earn these rewards by completing set challenges, milestones, or obtain them at random by doing anything in the world. Overall I like the looting system as it feels very rewarding to those farming it and playing the game actively. The exotics feel a little less exciting than they used to, however, they are on a different power scaling than they used to be, allowing for more versatility in gear sets, as you can only equip one exotic of each type (armour and weapons).

    -Performance and visuals-
    Now here's the tricky bit
    Destiny 2 looks amazing and has great graphics all-around, however, there are a few issues.
    One of these is a very serious one that I'd like to stress; namely, the memory leak issue when (which is always) the game fails to load the Clan roster. It will keep reloading this action into your memory until it is virtually full and you have to restart the game. Also, there seems to be a screen tearing issue when going above 60 fps in this game. However, the game is very well optimized for PC and gets great performance and FPS overall even on higher settings.

    -Community-
    The community of an MMORPG Action game is - as any real RPG player knows - almost the most key part of such a game. Destiny 2 consists in my experience out of extremely helpful people and people who are willing to spend the time to make an effort towards a conjoined goal. I have rarely seen such a laid-back, yet serious gaming community. I must say the game's overall community seems to be a nice bunch to be around. Lots of dancing, but also lots of monster slaying!

    -Post Scriptum-
    I see a lot of negative reviews here and I looked deeply into a few of them, it seems they all have not played more than 1-5 hours. I urge you to not attach too much trust into these reviews as they are likely biased and incorrectly researched.

    Thank you for reading if you got this far and I hope to see you on the Leviathan soon.

    The gameplay is very arcadey and involves fighting off hordes on a regular basis. There's a number of various baddies, but the gameplay is incredibly easy throughout the game. You could pretty much watch a youtube video of gameplay to find out whether or not you'd like the game, because if the gameplay doesn't look fun to you, then you won't like it. For me though, it's because of the constant hordes of enemies that I'm able to enjoy it, because it keeps me engaged. But it certainly won't be everyone's fancy.

    The baddies have weak points, (mostly headshots), to give you the extra gratification of landing your shots. And when they die they tend to explode in a manner that's similar to the grunt birthday headshots. There are some bullet sponge bosses, which I generally find boring to fight, so I tend to avoid them when I can since they're mostly tied in to public events you can do simply to level up and get loot.

    The graphics are for the most part, pretty damn good. They're certainly not hyper realistic by any stretch, but they're generally gorgeous to look at. On a 1070, I'm able to play the game at max settings at 1080p with over 100 FPS on a mere I7 2700. So I consider the game extremely well optimized. I rarely ever encounter significant frame drops.

    As far as weapons go, there are a ton of them. And I've really been loving that. It keeps the game interesting by having different means to eliminate your creeps. I find they all look pretty cool and most of them sound pretty satisfying. Balance seems to be all over the place though and can be tough to gauge in the campaign since you can get drops that yield some pretty significant differences in DPS values. The higher level weapons can also have special perks which sometimes provide significant bonuses to a weapon. You can also collect and wield special weapons like rocket/grenade launchers, sniper rifles, swords and shotguns, though you need special ammo to use them that only drops on occasion.

    The main campaign and story is the main source of disappointment for me. The story, in my opinion, is just really, really lame. You play as a guardian who due to space magic known as 'The Light', is capable of coming back to life after every death. This is a major frustration for me, because it cheapens the plot and dialogue. Whenever people start talking about any sort of risk or uncertainty all I can think is, "I'm **** immortal. It doesn't matter. The job's gonna get done one way or another." It's basically having 24/7 god mode. I don't have any issue with it as a gameplay element, it's just that as a plot device it completely nullifies any sense of vulnerability or danger. And naturally there's a villain who's trying to capture the light for himself so he can be an unstoppable, immortal tyrant over the galaxy. Cuzz, duh. That's what cookie cutter bad guys do.

    As far as the levels and actual missions go, it's a format somewhat similar to mass effect in that you can go to different worlds, (there's only 5), that you can travel around freely in, which are filled with various adventures and a campaign mission on each of them. The world's certainly aren't massive, but they're a decent size. They're designed in a way that makes the combat mostly close to mid range.

    There's a varying number of players you'll find in a level that you can interact with. They're locked out of campaign missions and certain quest parts, but you can do public events with them. I find it pretty cool, but with even a few other players the public events are absurdly easy mode, especially with the unlimited, low cooldown respawns.

    The multiplayer is where the real replayability is at. It's essentially Halo PC with a bunch of extra features. You can bring guns you've collected from the campaign into multiplayer with you, but they don't come with the DPS stats, so everyone's weapon is the same in that regard. However, you do get to take advantage of whatever special perks you weapon has. Some weapons are much stronger than others, so you do run into disadvantages if you don't play as much or get lucky drops on certain guns. For the most part though, different guns come with different strengths and weaknesses.

    You can also use you special weapons, but you require special ammo that spawns at opposite ends of the map with a timer. People mainly use rocket launchers, which are essentially 2 free kills. If the enemy gets both power weapon spawns, it's often very frustrating. Supers, which usually unlock only once per match, are jacked abilities that can net several kills in one go. When the enemy gets 4 in a row, before you can be death locked by chained insta kill combos.

    I'd personally prefer the game much more if it had a mode without power ammo or supers, as I believe they cheapen the skill/competitive component by granting free, easy mode kills in quick, chained succession.    … Expand

Also saying the game has nothing too offer, there's a lot more then the main story, you have adventures, strikes, lost sectors and raids, the list goes on.

I never played Destiny 1, so various complaints about how they ruined X or Y don't factor in here, as I have nothing to compare them to. I'm reviewing the game on its own merits.

    Pros:
    * The gunplay is very solid. The guns are fun to use and have a reasonable variety, but not a massive amount. It mostly sticks to the standard gun classes, but throws in some fun twists. Shooting feels responsive.
    * Movement feels good. Jumping feels solid, geometry is reasonable, nothing feels particularly sluggish or floaty.
    * Abilities are meaty and satisfying to use. Each class has three subclasses, each of which has two subtrees, giving a decent amount of customization to how you play.

    Neutral:
    * The gear is only sort of interesting. Exotics are the gear types that can heavily modify skills, and you can only have a couple at a time equipped. The loot treadmill is fun up until you start hitting moderate light levels, at which point you're mostly looking for small upgrades.
    * PvP seems okay, but limited. Not a lot of modes, not a lot of maps. The cooldowns concern is particularly bad in PvP, but so far I've found it to be decent, but not great.
    * The story is okay. Not great. Hopefully future content expands on it.

    Cons:
    * Cooldowns. Ability cooldowns are very long, and this particularly comes out in PvP. You'll be lucky to pop your super more than once or twice, and even nades/special melee come out rarely.
    * Communication. It's extremely hard to communicate with random people. Chat (voice and text) are both locked behind various options, making it cumbersome to communicate in the open world.
    * Clans. Extremely half-assed. While at launch they're broken (which I expect will get fixed), there isn't clan chat, at all. You're required to use Discord or similar to set up groups, unless you want to use their janky clan website functionality.    … Expand

    PROS: PC version experience with mouse and keyboard is incredible coming from PS4. Much more enjoyable. Always enjoyed that in 1st person shooters having grown up on Quake, Wolfenstein, and CounterStrike on PC.

    Overall the story line and the comedic cut scenes are very nice and entertaining. The shooting, game play, movement, music, graphics ( phenominal imo even at 2k ), and new adds and expansions on Destiny content were very nice. One of the best 1st person shooters I've played in the past few years.

    I wasn't very enthusiastic about Destiny 2. Destiny had been pretty heavily critisized by its lack of story, meh gameplay, and the gameplay videos I watched about it didn't exactly sell me on it, although as a PC only gamer I knew I'd be immune to the sequel related salt. However I took the (once a year, if even) 60€ plunge and HOLY **** I LOVE IT.

    Things that I *loooove* about Destiny    I wasn't very enthusiastic about Destiny 2. Destiny had been pretty heavily critisized by its lack of story, meh gameplay, and the gameplay videos I watched about it didn't exactly sell me on it, although as a PC only gamer I knew I'd be immune to the sequel related salt. However I took the (once a year, if even) 60€ plunge and HOLY **** I LOVE IT.

    Things that I *loooove* about Destiny (2? in general? I don't even know.):

    - Weapon loot is random to a point, but most equipment has some customization options, especially sights, barrels, magazines, and specializations in the case of armor. That really solves the Borderlands-esque problem of being stuck with weapons as-is.
    - Short story arc, with focus on sandboxy stuff to do.
    - Really nicely crafted levels, and story missions. Some stuff, like the Titan level, is not only mega pretty, but also super atmospheric.
    - Tons of stuff to explore and emergent gameplay.
    - Public events, which are super nice solo-compatible cooperative missions.
    - Very satisfying gunplay.
    - Fun and very well done voicework.
    - Fast to level a character up, thus motivating running all the classes and making it easy for friends to get to a similar level quicker, and avoiding the Borderlands style of level disparities that made playing cooperatively a very fleeting and tricky affair.

    What I don't really like about it:
    - Lack of difficulty options (most of the game is on the easy side and the AI can be pretty brain dead at a distance).
    - Complete lack of regional chat.
    - While rather large, one wishes the weapon selection was a bit richer, especially in regards to Legendaries.
    - Skill system and character progression can be barely qualified as such. While there's 3 subclasses with 2 specializations each, it simply consists of adding a maximum of 4 perks as one levels up, so the customization options are literally binary. It's a shooting game after all, but still, pretty lackluster. Further, at least one of the specializations on each class will be absolutely useless on flying enemies, so while one can certainly "play their way", it will always be very obvious which spec is the most useful one.
    - The bad thing about all good games: that they end. Some areas are a bit underwhelming and the general amount of them is more scarce than I would like. The real problem I have with D2's progression is more that the two first worlds are great, the third is kinda meh, and the fourth pretty much blends in with the third. And to top it off, past that the campaign becomes a stretched linear set of missions that becomes pretty tedious to complete (I call it the Mass Effect 3... well, effect.). It kinda loses steam one third into the campaign level wise, although the adventures and the core game itself is still entertaining and well made.

    Overall though, I've been glued to my computer for the last 3 days, and I've had a ton of fun. I'm really glad to have bought the game, and I'm looking forward to the DLC. Really good game.    … Expand

    My end game right now is working towards getting better gear so I can do heroic strikes and heroic dailies. Should keep me pretty busy trying to get gear.    … Expand

    Destiny 2 has a compelling story filled with wonder, mystery, and magical sci-fi lore.

    Destiny 2 is Bungie at their finest. Outstanding graphics, buttery smooth gameplay and a fun story brought to life with an amazing voice acting cast. The mix of shooter with MMO elements works really well. I love the over the top world events that scale nicely depending on how many players are actively engaged. The missions are fun, exciting and never gets dull. This is the best they'veDestiny 2 is Bungie at their finest.

    You have to ignore the toxic reviews, doubtful any of them actually own or have even really played this game. Just more negative poison being passed around. Also people seem to misunderstand that games don't need to support their cheating app, their special chat program or whatever random app they seem to think is so important to playing the game. That's not the developers responsibility, they don't owe you anything other than the game itself. Get it, play it, love it.    … Expand

The gaming industry is seriously going in the wrong direction led by EA, then Activision, then Ubisoft, and so on. The business model philosophy that uses heavy analysis based on data won't survive for another decade in PC gaming industry, and whichever company sticks with it, might get stuck on a blacklist for many consumers in the future.

    So, when Destiny 2 came out I know it was time to get back into it.
    I will try to list all the pros and cons I've experienced over the years in this game. Bear in mind I have logged well over 900 hrs into D2 according to wastedondestiny (Ironically I don't consider these hours wasted).
    Pros:
    -The game is gorgeous and runs well even with old i7 and dated 1070 @1440p 144 hz monitor. Optimized well.
    -Thorough graphics adjustments and field of view sliders
    -deep and intense lore and world-building if you're into that
    -There is SO MUCH TO DO in this game, it can almost be a considered a con for newcomers
    -Seasonal content keeps things fresh, while not happening so often that you feel guilty for taking a break (to check out other games)
    -Year 3 and Shadowkeep is on the horizon and looks better than ever
    -PC has in-game chat and clan / guild system. MMO-feeling
    -Plethora of PvE activities to fill all your alien-headshotting needs (and explosions, grenades, space magic)
    -Solid gearing system with transmogs on the horizon in shadowkeep (for the fashion endgame)
    -Clean and mostly easy to use menus.
    -The music and atmosphere is amazing
    -The movement and shooting systems are TOP NOTCH. Easily the snappiest 1st person shooter I've played. It just feels right.

    The cons:
    -The story is OKish at best, and at times very boring and cliche.
    -Loadtimes can be brutally long, even on SSD
    -As mentioned earlier, there can almost be too much to do. You can feel overwhelmed at first. As I understand, this will be streamlined a bit in shadowkeep.
    -The game can be very random at times concerning weapon and armor drops. You might get the item you want, but it has the wrong stats. This can be frustrating when there are few direct paths to the item you really want. Some people however might consider this a pro.
    -Mistmatch between community wants and Developer goals. This happens in all live service games eventually and is not exclusive to Destiny.
    -There is an ingame real life cash shop. It is purely cosmetic. However I do understand that some people are put off by "the coolest things" being behind a paywall. This is however very subjective.
    -The game has for the most part been balanced for both PvE and PvP in paralell. This means that things might get nerfed for PvE when they were only a problem in PvP (and vice versa).
    -PvP has been rather shallow for the last year. There are special events every now and then, but it feels rather stale after a while. If you're mostly into PvP I would not bother at this point.

    Finally, I would like to say that this game has been a great comfort to me over the last few years. Sure, it has it's bad sides. Yeah I was tired of it during curse of Osiris. But I always returned. It always served as a nice escape from everyday stress. I could always log on and shoot some badguys and get some sweet loot. Or I could be more of a sweat and team up with other guardians through bungie's looking for group website and do the harder dungeons and raids. It's all there for you if you want.
    I have recommended this game to all of my friends who are into looter shooters, rpg's and spacey sci fi stuff. All of them have liked it, but at times the content drought can get too much, or the main campaign is too long and you just wanna play with your friends. Hopefully this will get fixed in shadowkeep and "new light" when the base destiny 2 goes free to play.
    I am looking forward to seeing you all in the game.

    PS. I would like to add: if you asked me for a review of Destiny 2, 2 years ago I would probably have rated it a bit lower - maybe a 6 or 7. It has steadily climbed over the last year.
    Conversely, I would say that anyone that votes this game lower than a 5 at this point is basing their review on old facts and an old state of the game that is no longer representable.    … Expand

    I have gone over the reviews in here and all I could see were critics done with the knowledge of one moment of the game. So, I take it upon myself as a veteran player to really explain what Destiny 2 is.

    Destiny 2 is an MMO RPG Looter Shooter game, with an open world filled with different loot and challenges to chase. It is a very grindy game. You WILL have to play ALL of the game to    I have gone over the reviews in here and all I could see were critics done with the knowledge of one moment of the game. So, I take it upon myself as a veteran player to really explain what Destiny 2 is.

    Destiny 2 is an MMO RPG Looter Shooter game, with an open world filled with different loot and challenges to chase. It is a very grindy game. You WILL have to play ALL of the game to get ALL of the loot. You CAN'T only play in team, and you CAN'T only solo the game.

    With that out of the way, here comes MY opinion.
    Firstly, it is necessary to undersand that D2 works in a cycle. All Septembers, we get a great expansion that puts the game in an amazing spot. Then follows an average season, then a poor season, then a great season. You can choose if you play this seasons or just wait for the expansion.
    I think this format of giving content, while it is quite annoying, is necesary, as Bungie is working all alone in such a gigantic game, with so many overlapping pieces that makes it extremely difficult to work with.
    Secondly, the classes, subclasses, etc. I think the idea behind the powers are original, but I still miss the old customization settings from D1.
    Gunplay: I have never played any game in which the guns feel better than in D2. All weapons are amazing and unique. Exotics are the best, of course.
    PvE content: If you're actually playing it and not speedrunning it to get to the raids (as many players I've met do) the game is rich in complex lore, mysterious character, beautiful landscapes, complex mechanics, and so on.
    PvP content: PvP is, by far, Destiny's worst aspect, as players tend to stick tremendously to the META or hack to win. Nevertheless, it is undeniably a fun experience. In PvP, you have to learn how players respond, how you respond to players, how guns work, how abilities work, and so on.
    Loot: If anyone tells you there is no loot to chase in D2, tell them to start playing seriously. D2 is filled to the brim with loot of different kinds, sources, rarities, difficulties, importance, etc.

    In conclusion: I believe Destiny is an extremely under-rated game by the players who expect to have everything served to them in a silver plate. Destiny is no easy game, you have to play to win. And if you find yourself unhappy with the current state, i suggest you either take a break or play it anyway, because, in the end, content is content.    … Expand

    While Destiny 2 has a solid foundation and a robust story campaign, its endgame content feels a little lacklustre. The sandbox doesn't have a whole lot of depth, and plumbing each of the hub worlds for secrets doesn't feel that rewarding. Grinding Public Events, Raids, and Strikes with friends is definitely a lot of fun, but there's a huge disconnect between content being cleared and your character strength increasing. There's still a lot of room for Destiny 2 to grow but, for now, it's still got a few kinks to work out.
