    * Overall narrative of the game feels like for 8 - 12 years old age group

    * the visionary behind the game lacks ambition/obsession or is out of touch with current competitors

    Gave 8/10 because it was still better and more fun than many of the AAA games out since 2010, but it won't be remotely close of getting the love and support that Star Wars franchise received. 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. I've stopped purchasing any games from EA for good five years, and now Activision is playing extremely close on the edge.    … Expand

    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.

    The gameplay and shooting is as effective and straightforward as a game can be, the story is conversely as convoluted and impenetrable as a game can be.

    You play this game so you can hang out with friends and complete weekly and daily bounties to get cool new guns to shoot.

    Ambitious but also safe. Novel but also comfortable. New and old.

    It's honestly a much better game than I anticipated. It's a blast playing with mates, but a bit boring solo. I love to grind for gear, reminds me of the good old WoW days.

    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

    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.

    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.

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

In terms of graphics, this triple A game is very well done having gone through a graphic patch since it first came out on PC (thought I wasn't there to see the big change I did see it on Youtuber videos). Even for a high graphics, this game can run on decent gaming laptops, as long as you have a good enough PC it will work fine with very very little lag or bitrate issues. As for storyline, this game is the continuation of Destiny, the first game. Though the lore pretty much calls it "the new light", 'new light' meaning new players(long explanation). It may seem to just throw you into a boat and not tell you how to operate it as some reviews have stated but I disagree. Remember when I said "new light"? Well I'll give a brief explanation as to why its called new light(without explaining 'the light'{thats up to you to find out]). New light refers to new players, as as new player, you have no clue what the game or story will be about. But at the start of the game we see a "companion" waking us up. This companion is important as you find out more about the story, you will find out more about your companion. Upon doing the introduction in the game we get several cutscenes explaining who that companion is and what you are. But remember, put your mind in your characters' shoes, you have no memory of your past and youve just been put under a spotlight as you fight for a purpose you are still searching for slowly but surely. As you learn more about the story, so does your character in a theoretical way(your character learns what they are and so do you). Then the rest of the story progresses through expansions and dlcs in the game, (2 so far that you can purchase).

    But why is it 7.5? you may ask. well I also have problems with the game. It may seem like having 2 dlcs you have to buy to progress in the game is a butt load of crap but I disagree. For a company to do this is reasonable and a good marketing ploy: people who want to know more about the game or want to have more fun with it will buy the dlcs. If they like it, they can keep it, if they dont, just refund before 2 hours of gameplay of course. In my opinion the two dlcs are fairly well written story wise. Doing what they did in one of the dlcs was a good move and a good motivator. But for a free content, you only get so much to do, which is not very much at all, after you finish the free expansions the game has, then what? it will just become mundane as you get the repetitive pve events and repetitive grinding.

    But then again, "why 7.5? You didnt explain that." Well its already been said, you simply just have to buy the dlcs to enjoy more of the game instead of have all that content in the game already and have the game pay to play. But also keep this in mind, Bungie puts up a new dlc every year, last year it was Shadowkeep, before that it was Forsaken, this year its Beyond Light.

    Another few minor reasons is that you will need friends to enjoy some of the difficult parts of the game: the dungeons and the raids, and those contain the good loots. So if you dont have friends who play the game(or friends in general OOF) then you wont be able to play those raids and dungeons. But there are clans and people in game you can befriend as well, finding people is ultimately up to you. The exotics or the rarest weapons and armors in game can drop anytime and some have to be acquired through the raids which again, if you dont have anyone to play with you wont be able to get it, so thats minus a point or so. this game also includes multiplayer game modes for the competitive spirits out there and I say its very chaotic so be prepared, CSgo and COD and all those games may have prepared you for pvp fps skills but the game also requires you to "build" your character, so if you dont build well you will be an easy target nonetheless. otherwise, its still fun to play. For the pve players, its got tons of events you can play in not to mention the raids and dungeons and campaigns/missions.

    Going back to story and lore, Destiny has probably one of the most richest lores in gaming that you need hours to fully get all the story, PLUS the ongoing story the game has; it just keeps on expanding. Some technical issues the game has is that it isnt compatible with some streaming softwares, one big one is OBS. graphics optimization is also very good for a PC game that will rarely have problems if you have a decent PC.

    But for those who argue that this game is repetitive after some time, let me ask you this, what about other FPS games? CSGO? COD? MW? Fortnite? Moba games like League? DOTA 2? Ovewatch? those games too are repetitive.    … Expand

The music is enjoyable as well and matches up with the several different planets available to explore, which as stated are unique and very pleasing on the eyes. Combat is somewhat tedious at times but is very fluid, and although weapon variety is somewhat lacking the guns available are likable and fun to use. The story is not strong, rather mediocre, but with the continuation in DLC and the main focus not being the story I still think there is potential here because the world is mostly lively and fun to travel about. Overall I personally enjoy Destiny 2 but even though I was surprised at the negativity, after reading many user reviews I somewhat agree about the complaints in price and continued cost of soon to be released DLC, it would have been better if all the content was released at once.… Expand

    We all play in DESTINY 2 because of the gameplay. And great! Bungie always does a wonderful shoutarou mechanics. To shoot, use abilities is incredibly nice. Thanks gameplay game addictive. You are immersed in gameplay and don't notice that ****

    DESTINY 2 - a machine devouring time. It's fun to play. It would be interesting to participate in various PVE battles. PVP is very high quality. The game is addictive. DESTINY 2 is definitely very good. But apart from endless killing of mobs there's nothing in it.    … Expand

But it sure is a fun game, after the campaign... it's "story rich" Campaign leaves a lot to be desired, with it being only about 10 hours long, if that. The villain is actually rather bland, they could have done more with his inner conflict but chose to leave that out of the game? I don't know why, on the surface he is a conflicted villain who wants to obtain the light the "right way" but then chose to do it by force... huh? He wanted to go against his teacher's teaching and then decides to just say screw it I'll do it the wrong way, very confusing. Also I think the only character I actually cared about in the campaign was the Cade and his trusty sidekick Colonel Chicken. I think the only game that I've beaten the story mode faster in was mortal kombat X (In one sitting) Destiny only took me two sittings. Campaign was quite lackluster.

    Alright now we are getting to the juicy goodness of Destiny 2. If you have a friend that plays PC, you better tell him/her to get this game right now, it is the best CO-op experience on the market with the PvE format, nothing comes even close to what Destiny 2 can do. The strike missions are the icing on the cake and the goal of all Destiny players to complete, the prestige mode is also a welcome challenge to the game that I hope to get to come day... Which leads me to my next topic... The grind... is very real, it might be the reason why the campaign was so short (maybe it was like a tutorial for the real game actually...). If you don't like grinding, just get out now, there is no game for you here. Those that do however, you are going to get such a rush when you get the one armor piece that you've been grinding for hours to find and when you get it, the feeling is like magic, for real, you feel like you're on cloud nine, there's nothing else like it in any other FPS.

    Okay, now time for the dumpster fire that is PvP, seriously, what were they thinking? Is the matchmaking run by baboons? How come In PUBG I can match up with nearly 100 players instantly, when in Destiny 2 it not only takes 2 minutes, but I get matched with three randoms vs a group of four in a clan... seriously? How is this even possible? And don't even get me started on the Aim Assist problem, come on really? If you need a controller to play a FPS on PC than why did you buy the game on PC in the first place!?!?!?

    *sigh* Okay, the rant is over. I have to give credit where credit is due to the developers of this game... Vicarious Visions, these guys deserve an award for bringing a game that was meant to be played with a mouse and keyboard to the PC, these guys have done a phenomenal job for making the PC version of this game beautiful, and I don't get enough credit for this achievement in video gaming history. From a technical standpoint, this is how a good game on consoles can be infinitely better on PC, thank you Vicarious Visions, for setting an example for the game development community.

    You may be pondering on the score of 7/10, and I was thinking about it myself... doesn't just mean that the game is average? Barely passing? It means both of those things, but it also means that there is room for improvement as well. Destiny 2 in it's current state is an average game but with incredible potential, so many things are locked behind closed profit doors. Will I probably open those profit doors? Yes, yes I will. Battlefront 2 is making steps in the right direction saying that ALL DLC will be free. I hope Bungie's dip in profits from the last Destiny show them that most of the gaming community will not stand for this kind of pay more to play more scheme, it worked with EA, why not Bungie? Come on guys, you are so close, just make the DLC free and everyone will play your game till the end of time. Just make the DLC free and this score will instantly go up 2 points.    … Expand

    First is the severe lack of many social features. Inviting your friend to a party requires way too many clicks and menu openings, that is, once you find out how to do it in the first place; the process is too long and complicated for something that could be as simple as a chat command. Besides that, there is simply no local/region chat, no custom channels, and no channels for specific purposes (like a lfg chat), there is only a team and fireteam (party, essentially) chat. Furthermore there is no way to browse active clans ingame. These problems all exacerbate the issues I will be getting into next.

    Second, after reaching the endgame you will quickly reach a point where the only content that makes sense for you to do, requires you to be in a group. Inconveniently, there is no matchmaker for this content (nightfall strikes and raid). This in itself is not catastrophic, but it would have been nice to have a matchmaker. The real problem lies in the fact that not only is there no matchmaker, there is also no way to actually assemble a group for it ingame, no lfg channels, no lfg player status, nothing. To actually assemble a group, you need to use one of various third party tools. Personally I was tempted to join a clan at this point, to have some more consistent endgame options. You can join a clan through the rather archaic method of applying through a website. However upon joining a clan i realized that there is no clan chat, and thus discovered my clans discord channel. In the end, as a casual player, joining a clan turned out to be more or less joining a lfg channel, however even for that i have to tab out of the game.

    Playing through the endgame is an appealing idea to me, however I am not nearly committed enough to the game to jump through all those hoops for the chance on a good time, when I can just play other games instead.

    I found the game to be worth the box price, but no more. The game itself is fun, but severely gets in the way of you enjoying it after a certain point. If you think you might enjoy it, i would suggest you buy the base game with no season pass or whatever, and dont buy any silver either, untill you have completed at least one nightfall strike. At that point you should well be able to determine if you want to invest the effort to get into the real endgame, and, potentially, put more money into it.    … Expand

    I normally don't post game reviews, but seeing all the 0 or 10 reviews I'm hoping that people can see what I feel is an honest review. I played Destiny 1 from the very beginning all the way to the end and picked up Destiny 2 for PC on release. I also play Warframe and consider Warframe and Destiny to be completely different games; it’s like comparing Devil May Cry to Call of Duty.

    Pros    I normally don't post game reviews, but seeing all the 0 or 10 reviews I'm hoping that people can see what I feel is an honest review. I played Destiny 1 from the very beginning all the way to the end and picked up Destiny 2 for PC on release. I also play Warframe and consider Warframe and Destiny to be completely different games; it’s like comparing Devil May Cry to Call of Duty.

    Pros
    -Visually a beautiful game. I often find myself just stopping and admiring the scenery.
    -The gunplay feels really good. I love first person shooters and everything about shooting feels really well done to me. Yes, it is very upsetting for my rocket to barely miss the enemy because he lifted his arm up, but great that it’s not just one big hitbox where the enemy is.
    -It’s fairly easy to progress. There aren’t any random modifiers on items; if you and a friend both find the same gun they will be the same gun. No hoping for the best rolls on a drop; once you’ve got the item, you’ve got the item. Evens the playing field, no more complaining that your teammates doing better with the same weapon because they have better modifiers on theirs.
    -For Destiny 1 players: you can fast travel to select locations when doing patrols. Definitely beats running around the whole area just to get to a certain area. I was really happy not having to run around the dreadnaught all day to alternate between Court of Oryx and finding all the calcified fragments.
    -Destiny 1 had an upgrade system where you had to “level up” your items and required additional materials to unlock the upgrades such as relic iron and spinmetal. You could find and collect these resources spawned in random nodes on planets, by doing patrol missions, or by turning in a special currency called legendary marks. If you loved having a large variety of items like I did you would be farming a lot just so you could actually use your items to their full potential.
    -You can actually get emotes from bright engrams which you get when you level up. In Destiny 1 if you wanted a specific emote your only choice was spending silver, which cost real-life money.

    Cons
    -Features from Destiny 1 didn’t make it into Destiny 2(yet). I’ve heard it was because that once Destiny 1 was released the team who made it went straight into development for Destiny 2 and a different team did the rest of the content for Destiny 1. Strike specific loot, choosing the pvp mode, replaying story missions/strikes at will, daily heroic story missions, and secret patrols are all missing from the game at the moment just to name a few. They’ve recently reintroduced heroic strikes again with the first dlc; no scoring, medals, or modifiers though.

    -Pretty much no customization for abilities compared to Destiny 1. You get two skill trees for each subclass. Destiny 1 had many nodes you could mix and match with to create a more unique playstyle with for your character which also affected your stats. In Destiny 2, you can only change your stats via your armor.
    -No general chat and the ability to receive whispers is disabled by default. Makes it pretty difficult to find groups if you aren’t dedicated to searching for groups.
    -You can’t buy specific weapons/armor from vendors besides 1 item during faction rally. You’re at the mercy of RNG for most items in the game now. No more buying hung jury to wreck PVE content.
    -The story isn’t very engaging in my opinion. At least it was better than Destiny 1 where the story upon release was just a mess.
    Neutral(These can be seen as pros or cons depending on the players)
    -Pvp is much more teamplay focused than Destiny 1. The amount of players in a pvp match was also lowered from 12 total to 8 total so it also feels a lot slower to me.
    -Shaders are a single use item that you individually apply to gear to change its color. Similar to Chroma from Destiny 1. Some people complained about this system but I love it. I play about 8 hours a week and I have a ton of shaders. Since they can be individually applied I can make myself look like a great neon rainbow of colors. The only shaders I miss from Destiny 1 are Glowhoo and Ascendant Plane.
    Some other notes
    -Destiny 1 had the same amount of strikes on release as Destiny 2. It really sucks that you can’t choose to play individual ones and play through them at random; but it is the same amount as Destiny 1 on release.
    -To me, the game is the most fun when you play with your friends. I enjoy challenging myself and soloing the nightfall and the raid entrance; but I really have the most fun doing patrols, strikes, and pvp with my buddies. There’s not a whole lot for solo players in my opinion but that is kind of blanket statement; I think most games can be fun when you have friends to play with.

    Too long; didn’t read
    -Destiny 2 is more casual friendly than Destiny 1. No grinding for hours a day every day.

    You know, this game was a lot better than I thought it would be. Graphics were great and the story was pretty ok. Competitive mode isn't very much fun and the game is kind of repetitive but it was easily dealt with. Destiny 2 shouldn't have such a negative response but the publisher/developer or whatever has really started to being... not the nicest of people. That's a warning.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Destiny 2 is very fun and I feel the coolest part about it is the pathways. Now I don’t know if I just got ultra-mega lucky, but the direction you go is very natural and they flow very well. I’ve been to 15-16 different cross-roads and only one of two ways you move will be the right way. But it’s almost, by instinct, you know which way to go, it’s very natural and feels complete. The thing about Destiny 2 is the progression is really sped up and you get stuff pretty rapidly depending on how much you play.

    The progression system is very speedy as if the developers were afraid players were going to get scared off by the lack of acquiring weapons and armor, you know cool stuff that makes the game interesting. Some of the weapons are even recycled back to you with just more damage, most of the time they have the same name.

    The story is pretty good, but however there are some missions that repeat themselves over and over and they get stale. By repeated missions I mean the same type of combat and objectives, it gets more interesting towards the end of the game. The main repetition is the enemies, unfortunately the developers haven’t realized that giving an enemy more health does not make the combat harder. If anything it makes the enemies bullet cushions and it always just makes them more annoying to fight.

    The exploration is fantastic and there is always something to shoot and fight and murder. The best part about Destiny 2 is that there is barely any down time at all, and that makes up for most flaws. Every corner you turn there will most likely be an enemy trying to blow your face off.

    Now let’s talk about visuals, they are AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS. Seriously at the beginning of the game there is a part where you see the trapped traveler and its caged light in the distance, and holy sh*t is it beautiful.

    The amazing part is the unreal, unnecessary amount of detail put into these destroyed forgotten environments.    … Expand

    1, its competent but bland.
    2, Bungie have alienated the D2 fan-base with some pretty shady practices. Maybe this was due to it's former partnership with activision, as appears to be the case.

    Firstly, let me just say I'm not going to needlessly drag a game because I personally feel let down by it. Game play is fluid and reliable. It is a vast sandbox with plenty to see and do, for the newer player - and there in lies one of the problem. It is a big, glitzy and glamorous experience, as any AAA game on the market. However, whilst doing everything well, there is little that jumps out and "wows" you.

    One area that flops entirely is: Comms. You would think that a game that requires you to team up with other players for 70% of the content, would have some well thought out communication system? Well no. Bungie has opted for an extremely ill thought out, or more likely a safe, approach. To avoid the possibility of anyone saying anything that might upset anyone - they've gagged everyone. Want to team up? Good luck doing that in the anti-social "social hubs". You will need to do any comms through a third party app like discord. And this is a massive deterrent for the newer player. All of this content, and they're locked out of it. If by some chance you do find and active clan, more often than not, they will already be established and direct noobs to one of the discord LFGs(looking for group), because they won't be able to inflict damage in raids etc, until above a certain light level. Putting usable communications alone would have done wonders for the game.

    Bad faith season passes and content drops: really gets my blood boiling. I am older and have the disposable income to buy a game or two, when I want unwind with friends. But, when some kids has saved up for D2, only to find themselves having to shell out more, every few months. Because the game has adopted a "games as a service" model. Isn't exactly fair to them. They don't pay? They get locked out of new content, and cannot progress to the levels those who paid do. And several months down the line, when Bungie release content that they do want and can afford? Well... they have to buy the other junk content first. This is what I mean by shady practices. I'm not going to get into the Eververse fiasco. No, D2 screwed it's player base 3 months after launch with the "curse of Osiris" release, and saw the numbers tank. It was garbage, that very few liked, on a lonely desolate tiny map with no redeeming features. Since then there have been some great content releases, but the damage was done.

    Since the "curse of Osiris" fumble, most content releases have been tepid at best; mainly centering around cheap PvP maps. Bungie still haven't got the message about D2 PvP. Many other free to play games do PvP much better. They have also become a victim of their own massaged figures. Those that play D2 for PvP and or Gambit modes, are a tiny percentage of players, and youtubers/streamers, showcasing their skills. Most players(and all solo players) don't care for going into a PvP map to get fragged by a team, or pro team, sitting "team shooting" them from across the map - and only play these modes because they are forced to complete their weekly milestones. Yet, Bungie, seeing the player count on PvP, think that this is a popular mode. IT IS NOT BUNGIE. It's an awful "click fest" on a cramped map, that you have told them they need several hundred kills on, for a quest step. But, because they are solo queuing, and getting team shot, takes them forever. Bugie then takes these "forced attendance" figures, and thinks, "they must really like PvP, we'll give them more". They don't! They're hostages lol. Making death match levels for doom and quake(years ago) was something we did over night to play with mates the next day. The assets already exist, you just plug them together, test it, and bingo - free content. We didn't take 3 months and charge each other £20 for it. It's lazy, and an insult to paying customers. Remove the need to play PvP for these quests, and you will see the real numbers.

    Most of the players today are wanting to explore the world, find new stuff, Lore, and love the story. They can clearly spot when a character from the lore has been shoe-horned in as an excuse to provide a low effort, cheap, recyclable content to charge extra for. You ask them to solve some amazingly difficult, and well thought out puzzles in raids etc(that Destiny does better than anywhere else), but think they can't see this? I hemorrhages players, and is exploitative to the younger player. Don't rob kids for heaven's sake. Then have the cheek to harp on about equality, diversity, and inclusion. You cheapen those meaningful terms for profit.    … Expand

After completing the story, the side missions, probably some lost sectors, trying out PvP, playing though every raid (maybe even a couple of times)... there is pretty much nothing to do. Running around the open environments randomly killing enemies doesn't count, simply because it is too boring for such a shooter. And all the things listed are generally completed within around 30-40 hours. Buying the expansions can prolong that by another 20-30 hours (that is inaccurate). However, that is not enough to get fun for hundreds of hours.
    Another issue is plot. And here i'm talking about both the main story, and stories for side missions. You can forget about the latter - it's simple "the enemy is doing something bad there, go there and kill everyone". The main plot can be rated 5/10.

    Destiny 2 is a game with a weak single player experience, weak main story, underwhelming gunplay, but entertaining cooperative and PvP content. Unfortunately, that good stuff comes all at the end game and you'll have to dredge through the 5-7 hour story to get there.

It's a story driven shooter with repetitive level design,    Destiny 2 is a game with a weak single player experience, weak main story, underwhelming gunplay, but entertaining cooperative and PvP content. Unfortunately, that good stuff comes all at the end game and you'll have to dredge through the 5-7 hour story to get there.

    Destiny 2 plays like a cross between Borderlands and Halo. It's a story driven shooter with repetitive level design, samey reskin enemies, and randomized loot. As you progress through the game, you'll travel freely between different planets in the solar system. Each location has an open world area with public events and side quests. When you start a story mission in these areas, it's instanced. When you reach level 20 (max level), you'll return to these same areas to complete daily and weekly activities and challenges for randomize loot rewards. This can all be done cooperatively or solo and none of it presents any real challenge to a seasoned FPS player.

    Player movement and enemy animations/behavior is very similar to Halo. Jumps are long and floaty as if there's low gravity. What's disappointing is character movement doesn't factor into class abilities or combat with one or two rare exceptions. It's simply there to serve as a way to navigate weak platforming sections. Enemies will sometimes juke to the side or drop a shield, but this doesn't increase their threat to the player. It only serves as an annoyance to increase the time it takes to kill them. Most enemies seem to fire the same slow moving energy projectile weapons. While enemy factions are thematically different in appearance, it quickly becomes clear they are just different models for the same type of enemy with similar abilities. Weapons variety seems weak. There's a sufficient variety of weapon types, but not a lot of options within those categories. Many weapons simply feel like reskins of weapons in the same category with no sufficiently differentiating characteristics.

    The story is incredibly weak and predictable. Having not played the original Destiny, I had no grounding for who the main characters were or why I should care. The writing for character dialogue vacillates between self-important melodramatic posturing and hipster tier cringe (I'm looking at you Cayde-6). All I could gather from the story is that Guardians are religious zealots who worship a giant sphere which has visited earth and granted some people magical powers and immortality. In short, the Cabal did nothing wrong.

    End game content and PvP are pretty fun. Strikes are Destiny's version of raids where you and other players go through much more challenging levels and boss fights to get better loot rewards. Revisiting some of the open world story mission areas to do side quests is sometimes entertaining, too. Doing these gives you tokens you give to a local story character for, you guessed it, loot rewards.

    Destiny 2 is not worth full price especially considering there are going to be at least two paid DLC expansions. If all you want is a good coop game with your friends, Destiny 2 isn't a bad choice, but it may not have long term value for you. Don't buy it for the story.    … Expand

    This is a passable mediocre shooter. (no spoilers)

    I'll start by saying this might be the best PC PORT from console I've ever played. Day 1 launch is perfectly smooth, and no hints of bugs. The presentation here seems Blizzard influenced, which is to say the presentation of this product is flawless. No small feat in today's market! The engine looks amazing and delivers high FPS with no loss in frames on my 1070gtx at 1440p.

    And now for why this game is mediocre. First off the game basically plays itself. It is the most entry level shooter I could imagine a modern release being. It plays at about the Doom 2 level of difficulty. Kill things fast dodge left and right, use your abilities. Far too many of the enemies are mindless Zombies who are often un-cleverly spawned into the world, essentially right in front of you with a teleporter beam.
    The second problem is the loot and level systems. These are very simplistic, and the numbers make extremely minute differences on gameplay (Youtube these issues if you disagree). The 1-20 leveling system should have just been removed entirely. It serves as a 20 level skill stagger tutorial system that gets disposed of in 10 or so hours of game play never to have any use ever again unless you start a new character. As far as loot goes, there is just nothing to grind for as everything has been balanced so heavily you won't be getting any advantage over other players through item drops. It's hard to get excited about a vanilla loot system. I understand that an intricate loot system creates unbalance, but again where is the fun in everyone having access to all the same stuff?

    Lastly despite all the hullabaloo about the countless hours of story in Destiny 2, IT ISN'T COMPELLING! It is all cinematic to the 10th degree, told so that anyone including those with the most extreme attention deficits can follow along. The dialog is so cringe worthy you will have to confront yourself with why you aren't doing something productive.
    I've said this in other reviews, but these crazy over the top cinematics the AAA developers keep putting in their games aren't necessary. If you have an incredibly clever well-written story to tell at 100 decibels, by all means use it. But if you are including it just to check boxes it will look sloppy no matter how artistically you glide and swivel the camera around the terrible terrible lines and overused movie memes.

    In brief summary, you might enjoy this game if you want a great looking super casual shooter with RPG-ish elements and a 100 decibel 1000 milligram energy drink slammed story that will melt your face off.    … Expand

    The graphics are good, the music is awesome... The rest is kind of meh.

    First big problem with the game is that the social part is almost absent. There are two hubs where people can hang out but there's no global chat or local chat on the planets (something you could use to tell new people how to make an encounter heroic, for example). No group finding interface at all (although not too much content is available at release and there is no reason to choose a particular strike because they all give rewards from the same pool). The developers seem to be of a "It doesn't matter what you're farming, if you're farming" mindset.

    And the second problem is that the game offers nothing in terms of gameplay that has not been done better before it. Borderlands did the RPG/FPS part much better with more unique skill trees, a better variety of weapons and enjoyable platforming. Any MMORPG did the mass multiplayer better. Lots of games did story better.

    So the only thing that remains is a multiplayer RPG/FPS. And to be good at that Destiny just needs to be much more multiplayer-friendly. Assuming you're doing campaign/all the good exotic quests and have no friends who also bought the game, you'll spend about two thirds of your time alone.    … Expand

    I just really hope the developers do right by their community and flesh the game out with at least a few free content patches. Right now a lot of people seem to be comparing this to Warframe, which can be played and enjoyed without spending a dime on it, not to mention it contains some of the best bits of story I've ever seen in a game.

    60FPS on PC is the way this game is meant.
    Below are the issues I have.
    - 60FPS in game but 30FPS on cinematics.. makes a difference when the switch happens.
    - Leveling is done way before the end-boss of original content. LVL 20 is max in base game and 25 for Osiris expansion.
    - Sparrows are pointless in this game as they make you beat the game to use one (unless you earn one from a bright engram) This creates large areas where the game goes from a FPS to a walking simulator.
    - Items are small in quantity with new ones that were in original Destiny being brought back only not as good. Unique items such as skins, sparrows, ships, class gear, special event gear, come from Engrams which are earned every faux level after max level.. or purchasable with Silver which is the in game micro transaction currency.
    - Communication is horrible.. There is no general chat, clan chat, or easy way to get anything going in a MMO FPS game that focuses on PVP, Raids, and Strikes.. Oh but wait Activision and Bungie must love Nintendo because they made a mobile Destiny app that allows you to find that special clan and chat with them.
    - Bungie kept the aim assist in the PC version which combined with the 60FPS and Keyboard/Mouse combo makes this game easy to do whatever.. I died the first time well after beating the main story during the raid.
    - Still the same lame concept.. kill wave after wave and then any enemy you see in world.. know there are 3 of them.. Bungie can't seem to do things in random numbers.
    - The planets seem much small in Destiny 2.. I never use sparrow unless I'm doing a strike or something where people avoid enemies and just try and go fast through the content.
    - The farm is a great place but like the first game you eventually get a big city which is basically just a big walking simulator which contains just pointless halls and needs to be 90% smaller.. think farm or PSO lobbies.

    Also I can't stand the fact that they already have a expansion which I also played and it sucked.. Smallest planet and it makes the light level achieved during Leviathan Raid pointless. This accompanied with the low content level shows Bungie and Activision hide content behind paywalls.

    Destiny 2 had a great, short-lived story with cinematics and all that...then it was over. You moved to multiplayer events and it was the same or worse and became a drudge faster than Destiny 1.

On top of that people who like to play solo or with random group get locked out of the best content in the game. For example one of my casual friend was so pissed he couldn't do the raid he just quit right away. Bungie is so up there ass about there raid being to hard for random groups its insane. Make a learning mode easier with mechanics explained just delay it from the real thing to not spoil it for the premade but no they make harder mode instead because you know minority of the playerbase is more important then the whole community. A buy if you want to do the campaign/strikes and call it quit but stay away from it after that. And do not buy that expansion just don't no need to review that crap just dont the only good thing about it is a raid the thing most people don't do.… Expand

    You repetedly and casually shoot small pool of enemies, no sweat, and go further, get some loot and...that it.
    Maybe it would have felt better if we had more abilities and 10-15 sec cooldowns, so it made game faster and get player more involved in whats happening.
    But now its tunnel brain-dead "aim shoot repeat" without anything in between.

    Story is simple, but voice acting is cool (especially Russian) and there are some funny/cute moments, also visual design is good and sometime great (like on the Planet with Cubical landscape) but it does not save the core gameplay which is too casual and well yeah, boring.    … Expand

    I was pretty fond of the first Destiny, though it took me some time to warm up to it and there are things about it I never liked, most notably the scummy way they handled the Taken King release and the exceedingly awkward controls on PS3. It had a pretty great soundtrack though.

    The thing is, what I like about Destiny 2 is pretty much entirely the fact that it has a PC version. Aiming    I was pretty fond of the first Destiny, though it took me some time to warm up to it and there are things about it I never liked, most notably the scummy way they handled the Taken King release and the exceedingly awkward controls on PS3. It had a pretty great soundtrack though.

    The thing is, what I like about Destiny 2 is pretty much entirely the fact that it has a PC version. Aiming and shooting feels appropriately smooth and responsive, and load times are much improved. Past that, If i didn't have friends who play it I probably would have abandoned it already. As it is, I received the game and first expansion from a friend and haven't spent one red cent on it. Said friend is also the sort of person that aggressively defends every aspect of a game they like, even one with such an obvious myriad of flaws as this one.

    Here's the ugly details. For every thing they sort of improved, there's ten boneheaded things at every level of this game's design, more then I could possibly fit here. Every time I play I discover something new and even more stupid. I can't say I find its low user review score here on Metacritic surprising. There's so much that I'm just going to summarize.

    Pros
    - Primary weapons were improved considerably. They're now, well. PRIMARIES. As in, your main weapon, the thing you get kills with. I've heard complaints about this on reddit, but I like what they did with them. Especially the Vigilance Wing.
    - Less compartmentalization of content. Story and side missions are now properly integrated into the exploration zones.
    - Many more color options for gear.
    - Auto rifles were buffed. This was badly needed.

    Cons. Where do I even begin?
    - Though it's hardly terrible, the plot is still very thin, even for an FPS. It's at least more focused and coherent then the first game, but it's written a little too plainly, making Cayde's silliness feel a little too on-point. The extensive background, in particular the obscure literary references offered by some of the Exotic lores, suggests an epic of science-fantasy, grand adventure and the power of friendship. What we get is little more then an episode of a cartoon- admittedly, one that might run on Toonami.
    - On that note, they make even less use of their own lore then the first game did, if that's at all possible. I've never seen a series so afraid to revel in its own worldbuilding.
    - Twelve players in the first game's Crucible PVP was bad enough. But eight? I am so tired of this trend of steadily shrinking player counts in versus games. If I wanted to duel players I'd play a game that has a dual mode. This small team crap is boring. Combined with the disparity in effectiveness between many of the guns, god awful map design and complete lack of any kind of skill bracketing in the matchmaking, you will lose a majority of matches, sometimes to such crushing odds that the match will end early out of pity. Also, it shamelessly rips its gametypes from Call of Duty and Counter-Strike.
    - Why the hell is it only on Battle.net? Did Gabe Newell crap in Bobby Kotick's corn flakes?
    - Also, matchmaking. It's as dumb now as when it was first implemented in Halo 2. It has no place in a PC release.
    - Handcannons were nerfed. This was NOT badly needed. At least not where PVE is concerned.
    - Where the hell is the Last Word? Why ommit any Exotics from the first game at all?
    - You're likely not to get a Sparrow until after you've completed the man story. That's asinine.
    - The Warlock Glide is completely screwed up compared to the first game. I'm not sure what they did wrong but it frequently does not get you to where you need to go.
    - The ledge grab maneuver would be a welcome addition- if it worked 100% of the time. As it is, it's rather finickey.
    - Individual Strikes are no longer accessible from the Director or for that matter from the exploration zones as they should be. Instead, there's only the Strike Playlist. This strikes me as more odd then annoying, but still.
    - In order to increment the Rat King quest, someone else on your team needs to have the quest or the weapon. This isn't mentioned anywhere.
    -The ships still don't do anything. They should do SOMETHING, I mean, come on.
    - Three players is still a weird party size. This rule of three thing they have is a bit much.
    - The NPCs at the tower are much more spread out then they were in the first game. You waste a lot of time running around.
    - The Prometheus Lens. Good lord, what were they thinking? If you don't know what I'm talking about, It was a horrendously overpowered laser weapon made available by Xur the first weekend after Curse of Osiris released. that made it so that if you weren't using it, you were guaranteed to lose crucible matches. And even if you WERE, you'd probably still lose, because almost everyone else was using one. It was then nerfed to the point where no one used it anymore.
    - Shaders are now single-use consumables. What?
    - Shadowshot is still next to useless.    … Expand

    Okay, not bad a game. But it's so boring story to play with all along. A game is nothing without a decent story campaing. And a game doens't meaning perfect with awesome graphics. People need something to love, love and embrace it. There is not much things to embrace in this game.

    You can play this game if you didn't experience before something like this game but it's not worth too much hope.

I feel like Destiny 1 offers SO much more as far as end game content goes (granted Destiny 1 has had a couple of expansion packs to bring it to that point). Maybe once one or all of the planned expansions release the game will become a little more interesting. As for now, you'll only get about 3 hours of end game content every Tuesday.

    + Fun (but short) story mode

    - Raids and a lot of the end game content can NOT be completed without a group of friends or a clan (sucks for solo players)

    Destiny 2 is a game that looks great, sounds great, and feels great, but offers nothing but busywork as gameplay, a hollow imitation of an interesting universe, and an overwhelming amount of potential squandered in favour of its incredibly basic - albeit, again, incredibly nice feeling - gunplay.

It offers nothing worth remembering. Its story is basic. Its abilities are dull. Its worlds, while gorgeous, are tiny and feel dead, though not intentionally. It is a pastime at best, and a punishment at worst. Destiny 2's idea of challenge is taking a note from the Division, and simply putting more numbers in their healthbar, and nothing else. And that is beside its microtransaction and season pass nonsense that has become a staple. I am glad I got this for free, or I would have been incredibly embarrassed to know that I had spent money on this.

    If you can have fun with this, good for you. I'm glad. I wish I still had your optimism, but Destiny 2 to me is an excercise in how much you can get away with providing the bare minimum, in order to maximize profits. But in a world where the Star Wars: Battlefront revival sold 12 million copies, I suppose I should get very familiar with this sort of idiocy.    … Expand

So much potential to talk about something with meaning like what life was like, what it is we're fighting, or really anything of substance, but instead we get cheap quips, flat humor, or exposition about how this guy is situationally worse than the guy before him for doing the things and needs to be shot while pacing in a clearing or threatening an abandoned structure. The beginning was phenomenal because they gave us glimpses into life outside the city, beautiful panoramics, and serious challenges to overcome. Then it turns into everyone loves me power fantasy throw fireballs at the bad guy and never fail again.

    As far as gameplay goes, it is bare bones minimum. There are three player classes which have three subclasses each with 4-5 five abilities. These abilities have such long cooldowns that it really doesn't set the classes apart most of the time. The gunplay is satisfying, but one quickly discovers most guns perform worse than the few good stat combination ones.

    The level quality is inconsistent. Earth and titan look amazing while io and nessus are boring balls of dirt with bits of metal poking out every once in a while. With only a small handful of dailies, strikes (co-op dungeon runs for 1-3 people), and pvp modes/arenas, there is little content to keep people going towards the end goal of a 305 average gear score once the story and side quests are done.

    I give this a 5/10. It's decent, but it is not $60 decent. It has so much potential it's painful, but has difficulty living up to the hype.    … Expand

    However, the one thing that greatly disappointed me about Bungie and/or Activision, is the misleading behavior. Not just misleading, but plain lies to us, the consumers. The following are just examples:

    • They misled the game community with the XP rewards.
    • They misled us with the overall reward logarithm, e.g. three of coins
    • The initial s block of previously purchased game content from players that didn’t bought the new DLC, curse of Osiris.
    • Micro transactions through Eververse. Most of the cool rewards are behind this character. Probably, it may give some advantages in PVP to players who spent additional money purchasing through Eververse.

    These are examples of a company who doesn’t care about ethics, its customers, quality control etc. On top of that, the new DLC curse of Osiris for $20, which in my opinion, is not a DLC. A DLC that can be finished within a couple of hours is just proof of the rip off.
    I understand that Activision wants to make money, but lying and ripping off its customers it’s just not right. Unfortunately, I purchased the game with its DLC expansions. But, not in the future, I’ll never purchase any Bungie’s game in the future, just like I did with EA.

    It's a pretty game, but it's a mile wide and an inch deep. Once you get past the first 15 hours of the game, it becomes very shallow. It's a drop off from the first Destiny and they've dumbed everything down. It's lacking many core features of the first game and aside from having great music and visuals, it's mostly a marketing cash grab.

    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.
