    This game has the best hype train, PR, and marketing campaign. But honestly, all you do is shoot. Where is the story, personality, and rpg elements? None, absolutely none. You might as well be playing a COD or battlefield game.

    PS: pick Hunter because Warlock and Titan jumps don't work as good.

    Сейчас при старте игры выводится лозунг "Black Liver Matter". Такие игры нам не нужны, жаль что приобрел ее когда-то.
    A message is displayed at startup screen - "Black Liver Matter". I think NO, that statement is not valid.

    One of the most boring games I have played. 60€ is an unbelievable price for nothing. The game has pretty beautiful graphics and cool shooting mechanic, and first 2 hours seemed interesting. But it so boring to kill thousands of aliens every boring and similar quest.

    The graphics are quite nice, but that is about all positive feedback I can give to this game.

    The writing is boring, the level design is horrible, absolutely empty levels with some brainless enemies,
    they ll just crouch behind cover and do nothing even though you just shot 2 guys next to them...

    Destiny 2 promised a lot. After playing through most of the games, I can say that I expected more. The characters are horrible - all trying to be funny constantly. It would be fine if it was Cayde-6 only, but it isn't. How am I supposed to take a game serious if it doesn't take itself serious? The graphics are good, and it is a well optimized game. Performance wise, there is nothing wrong.Destiny 2 promised a lot. After playing through most of the games, I can say that I expected more.

The graphics are good, and it is a well optimized game. Performance wise, there is nothing wrong.
    The gameplay is boring. It is the same over and over. You run through a similar, small map. Enemies appear. You shoot the enemies. Your ghost or some of the characters says something cheesy. Enemies appear once again. You shoot them once again. And it just goes like that. I have finished Destiny along with it's expansions, and except for the graphics, Destiny 2 shouldn't be a new game. They have a lot in common, not just the same atmosphere, but also the same gameplay, enemies, map system, quests and all that.

    On top of that, the game is a cash grab. Just look into all the frauds the developers have made. For example, they reduced the amount of XP you would normally have received for activities in max level. And they kept it hidden! Why? So it would take you longer to get those bright engrams (loot boxes), and that would increase the chance of you buying them for real money.

    So yeah - I am disappointed.    … Expand

    Boring shooter. You can't even imagine HOW BAD single player(or coop) company is. Lots of grid without any point.
    PC players are getting banned in droves for using things like discord or shadowplay while playing Destiny 2. No real response from bungie and no way to revert the ban.

    Bland yet enjoyable shooting, but unexcusable company policy and treatment of players. First scaling back XP earned for bright engrams, then removing that but increasing your total amount of XP required, and finally gating off end game content unless players buy the DLC.

    This game is a huge step back from the first one. The only thing that has improved is more cut scenes, but they offset this by literally destroying the established lore, and its pretty clear they have no clue where they want to take the game. Lastly almost no reason to play the endgame content, and skill weapons feel terrible and unrewarding.

    A decent game; outstanding visuals and sound, voice acting improved from the first game, more missions (though variety can become an issue) and combat mechanics are solid - it 'feels' good to shoot things and the horde type enemies are fun to engage with.

    All in all, it's enjoyable. Play the free demo first to decide for yourself.

The point of making the boss fights easier are to make it more accessible to newer players which I understand and somewhat appreciate especially if I'm looking for a chill experience. But why not add difficulty selection like the first game? That is one of the biggest things for me. If they added that this might be an eight but for now it is a seven.

    Yay destiny for pc! Except it's not even close to as good as destiny 1, even though they just reused almost every game asset except gun models and landscape. They managed to ruin PVP and complete laziless and lack of vision results in a really sad product.

    The game is extremely unstable. It will lock up and crash. It is near impossible to play though without crashing. Game crashes with a NULL pointer, meaning parts of the game were stripped out and there are bad pointers in the code. This is 100^ the fault of the architects of the game. Bungee should fire the entire team from the Architects, project managers and up.

    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.

If something was meant to make you dumb on purpose and leave you with less brain cells than before you started, then this is it.

    The gameplay by itself is alright, nothing special, turn your brain off and shoot while collecting better gear. The same old mmo formula. It's good to reminisce of the Halo games on PC, as I have not had a xbox in a long time and haven't had the chance to play anything Bungie in years.It's alright for a few hours of shooting but gameplay? You can run past most of the enemies until you're stuck in an arena and must kill some to progress..I realized I don't have to kill the enemies and can run past them most of the time.. Funny. Anyway..for a humble sale I got my moneys worth and experienced what these so called modern games are all about.

    Now Level lock behind paid dlc? I thought I was getting the full game with the humble bundle sale. Most games are free to play these days I doubt any paid games will survive for long, it's only a matter of time before the netflix of gaming comes along, see Origin vault.    … Expand

    Destiny 2 is not a sequel, its more of a reworked/reboot of Destiny 1 addressing all the issues that players had problems with and fixing them but in doing so, also introduced new problems in the process. To be blunt, I believe that this game is not worth your time or your efforts and is a very subpar game overall. Discussed below are the different aspects of the game, explaining whether the aspect is a strong point or a weak point of the game. I highly advise you read to the end of the review.

    Gameplay

    The gameplay within Destiny 2 is one of the best in games currently and certainly the best within its genre being a Loot Shooter. Bungie has outdone themselves much like the first game with their intriguing "Supers" and abilities featured in the the three classes in the game: Warlock, Titan and Hunter. The mobility and verticality is something that feels familiar to players of COD Black Ops 3, Advanced Warfare, Infinite Warfare and Titanfall 1&2. This is accentuated further during the "Supers" where you truly feel powerful and almighty which makes for a great experience.

    Animations & Graphics

    Again, credit has to be given where it's due, Destiny 2 has some of the best graphics in games today with cool, breathtaking animations that immediately make the user feel godlike and incredibly satisfied with the game.

    Story & Progression

    The one extreme down point in Destiny 1 was it's embarrassing lack of story telling and that is something that the devs at Bungie took into consideration when creating Destiny 2. Although the story in Destiny 2 is a lot more comprehensive, it's by far one of the most cliche story lines in a game with themes recycled from other games as well as movies.

    Progression wise, Destiny is one of those games that really gets you excited in the early stages in the game as any game should, with the early progression really keeping players glued to their machines, being as it's extremely rewarding and attractive. It was refreshing to see the new take on how the player obtains their "Super" ability through the broken shards of the Traveller where you complete a short mission to activate your unique 'relic' depending on the three subclasses being Arc, Void or Solar.

    Looting

    The big boy of the game, one of the main reasons you play the game and quite possibly the ONLY reason you might've thought when considering the game. So, has it been done well? Yes but to a certain extent. Compared to the first game, where legendary weapons and armour were a chore to get and exotics were borderline impossible at times, Destiny 2 eliminates that by giving all players a fair chance to obtain the weapons they want without all the hassle. Early on, you will find how frequent legendaries drop and the few rare (but not extremely rare) chances that even exotics drop for you, which gets you hyped and yearning for more. Even within the main story itself exotics are given as mission rewards. Depending on your class, you will earn armour pieces unique to it with one mission giving you the rather difficult option between 3 formidable exotic weapons. As a consequence, this quickly becomes the downfall of the game as you realise the challenge, as in the REAL grind for exotic weapons, has been snatched away and soon, it doesn't matter what you earn from the game as everything stops feeling epic, given how often you obtain high rated gear. It was a great gesture removing the encrypted engrams that really sent people over the edge in the first game, but it really doesn't help the game's case when you spend hours grinding to obtain exotic engrams only to get DUPLICATES, meaning getting the same weapon/armour piece you already own. The exotic quests are nothing special, just a different way of eliminating foes and earning your "badass" exotic weapon at the end of it and so don't be too excited.

    DLC

    Notably, the date of this review is extremely late and rightfully so as I just had to write this review upon the announcement of the Destiny Forsaken Expansion, priced at $55 AUD with $30 paid updates under their so called "Annual Pass". If you take into account the original price of the game being $70 itself with the two already released expansions - Curse of Osiris & Warmind - priced at $30 for both, the total price comes to $185 AUD. I'm sorry but this unacceptable and rather shameful to see how much money both Activision and Bungie are expecting from fans for just ONE game. It's outrageous that payments for increased end game content is now a necessity for these two companies where other games who work on a free to play model such as Warframe are offering their fan base rich, sustained and FREE updates.

    Overall

    Score = 5/10 for the game before Forsaken
    3/10 for the game after Forsaken

    I would say just don't get the game but you're free to choose how you spend your money, just be satisfied. For your own sake.    … 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.
