    Bungie has completely missed the mark here. Even with the bundled "quality of life" changes they released with this "expansion" it is laughably barren and empty of anything worthwhile. More recycled D1 exotics, a tiny playable area, and atrocious writing have made this a serious case of buyers remorse for me.

    All good-will Bungie earned from me in Destiny 1 is dead and gone. I may never play another Bungie title as long as I live and I am definitely done with this hollow shell of a game.

    It's clear the end-game has been locked behind Eververse (loot-boxes). Our guardians have been nerfed into the ground. They took away all our items only to trickle them back to us as watered-down D2 versions.

    The quality of life changes include a nerf to the shoulder-charge to prevent it from being used as mobility.

    I played Destiny 1 the other day and the comparisons sum up Destiny 2. I'm disappointed and bored. A gorgeous game with amazing sound can't make up for everything we've lost.

    I feel slow, weak, and mute. My guardian won't talk. My guardian can barely sprint anymore. My supers are weak. My subclasses are wet-noodles and constricting to choice. The armor is pointless and so are the mods.

    This game is greed and hubris in a box.    … Expand

They use recycled content (again), like a new pool of weapons which use existing skins, but have new (mostly trash) perks. One "story" mission from the DLC is just a strike from base D2 with some modifications and nothing new to add.

    I have played better content for free from other developers, and that is a problem.

    Almost forgot, there is a bounty of new content (ships, ghosts, shaders, sparrows) but it's all behind their Eververse micro-transactions. Instead of making the game play rewarding, they decided on a shameless cash-grab. Again.

    Stay far away, do not waste your money on this.    … Expand

The visuals are beautiful but the gameplay is just terrible for an AAA game. The new ''planet'' is a joke. The size is 1/4 of the size of the smallest planet in destiny 2 vanilla, you fight the same predictable and boring enemies as in the vanilla game.

    As usual most of the ''good'' content is behind a paywall which gives you no incentive to play any of the harder contents. I went into this with very low expectations and still was disapointed. Bungie should be ashamed for what they have done to this game. They're not communicating with their fans AT ALL and are clearly delusional and driven by greed by this point.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 2 hours of story that doesn't even make much sense. The whole marketing behind the DLC was talking about how you finally get to meet Osiris. Well you do...in the final cutscene. You see Osiris in one other cutscene at the beginning, but you've seen most of it through trailers. Then when you beat the campaign, and you meet Osiris, he disappears again. So much for bringing Osiris into the game.

    The gameplay is still Destiny. Nothing changes there. The biggest gripe I have is the story. $20 for a 2 hour story, and minimal additions. This DLC feels smaller than Dark Below from Destiny 1, and yet it costs the same.

    Bungie has taken a task that is too big for them. The problem with Destiny 1 was not enough man power to do 2 small DLCs + one Large expansion a year. They resorted to Microtransactions and "free" Live Updates. You'd think they'd remember past mistakes, Activision or no Activision Contractual Obligations.    … Expand

This was called the Warlock expansion.. We didn't get to learn anything about where warlocks got their powers... and where are the giant Black Triangle ships we saw at the end of Destiny 2's campaign? Is that gonna be the next DLC? I sure hope so cause that certainly sounds better. If you don't wanna waste $20, save yourself the money and wait for the next DLC cause you've really missed nothing. Think you'll get your moneys worth watching someone on Youtube Play the campaign. It'll only take as long as an average Movie, and with the $20 you saved you could actually got to a Cinema and enjoy yourself. 4/10 (Great Setting, that Bungie once again did nothing with)    … Expand

    I’ve been playing Destiny since day one and with all the promise Bungie showed with releases like the Taken King and Rise of Iron, Bungie has gone all EA with Destiny 2. I’m not sticking around hoping that the game will be fixed, I’m out. Bungie’s intentions are to casualise the **** out of this franchise and milk the audience with microtransactions and I want no part of it. Such a shame.

    I love Destiny 2 and would rate it a solid 9. I have 3 level 20+ characters and 100 hours in the game, but this expansion is an embarrassment as a paid add-on. The publisher is to blame here more-so than the developers for pushing out paid content way too soon in order to make the end of year financials more impressive.

    Pro’s:
    -Gorgeous graphics and ambiance
    -The adaptive 4K on PS4 Pro really does make a difference
    -Some additional campaign content
    -The ONE public event is pretty cool

    Con’s
    -NO HDR on PS4 Pro
    -Campaign is about 3 hours if you’re slow like me
    -Story is lazily written, under developed and completely uninteresting (not to mention utterly confusing)
    -New planet is absurdly small with only 1 public event and 1 Lost Sector and sparrows are disabled
    -The expansion literally breaks the base game by introducing a totally OP weapon as well as locking base players out of content they previous had access to
    -I’m now getting random disconnects I never had before (regression)

    I had zero hate for Destiny 2 before. Actually, I loved it and promoted it intensely in my circles. This paid content has severely tarnished the reputation of the brand. Activision: make this right or you risk jeopardizing your most valuable franchise. This was a very rushed cash-grab and you’re being called out by your customers. Maybe this add-on would be viewed in a moderately less harsh light if the game wasn’t already monetizing loot boxes and nerfing XP, but as it stands, Destiny 2 is quickly starting to be mentioned in the same sentences as “Battlefront 2”. That’s a real shame and definitely not the type of product you want to be associated with.    … Expand

    I can forgive Bungie many things, even Everworse, but not the retarded characters and dialog in the "cinematic" scenes. It's always cringe worthy stuff from start to end. Brother Vance is now intoduced as a fanboi of Osiris and his cult one of blind followers, not people who follow a different path than the Vanguard. Our Guardian is still "The Guardian (TM)" but not allowed to speak a single word and there are awful pauses when he is supposed to say something. Even the Ghost turns to him and mentions once he should say something. That's not funny. It's idiotic.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. too little , too late , too much promised , too little delivered.. this seems to be the overall business scheme of bungie with D2.

    when they cut ties with the old Games engine, everyone was relieved since the old engine was not working as intended.. I thought that what we saw in rise of iron with the different timelines (old comsodrome and new"siva" cosmodrome" was finally the kind of story progression that the game so deperately needed, and with the removal of the old gen consoles the game finally could have more of those progression lines.. Luke Smith and Mark Noseworthy even said that the Farm will evolve over time and expand.. everyone knows now that this was either a lie to mislead the players or the engine was again falling short on ability. Still Bungie got the benefit of the doubt that they wanted to play it safe this time and deliver a solid foundation to build on. Curse of Osiris should show the games full potential with the ramdomized infinite forest, a new raid (activity) new improvements , new social space and more..

    turned out , it was again overhyped and underdelivered. The infinite forrest is not so infinite. Bungie played with the idea and mislead the players into thinking they would get a Diablo III Greater Rift experience or a Warframe Style, randomized mission tileset, when it turned out to be THREE missions ("Adventures") that will take place in this area, while the complete area is non accesscible otherwise. So much for "infinite".

    the "social space" has not been created as a social space, since you can clearly see that your charcacter is still in FPS mode and not in 3rd person social space view. You can even novabomb Brother Vance. The patrol area was most likely designed to be a PvP map for vehicle combat , its horribly small and you cant even summon your sparrow to hide how small it is.

    the "story" missions are extremely short, reuse assets from old content and you can skip 90% of the enemies and just walk towards the end while the enemies spawn behind you, so you can safely reach the checkpoint.. in the first mission they even despawn when you reach the infinite forest door. Given the poorly executed "story" around Osiris, one of the most notorious and controversial figures of the destiny world., the entire lore was either ignored, or the "writer" was unaware of it. or the new direction to have destiny understandable for 6 year olds has taken over the last bits of Joe statens old plot. I Would say Fanfiction would have done abetter job in writing this story than Bungie did.

    the Endboss fight is picking up the Spark and delivering it to the Rift in a straight line of about 20 meters you can slowly walk there, and after you dunked and ignited the Rift you have to shoot a giant glowing eye you will have trouble missing even blindfolded. do this three times and you are good for the end cutscene where osiris briefly says "cool", and then walks back into the "not so" -Infinite forrest..

    They even made the enigmatic brother vance who held the trials of Osiris in D1 into a comical sidekick and desperate Fanboi and Leader of the Cult of Osiris in a Narrative that defies the logic of the sheer size of the followers of Osiris. I am more than sure that Brother vance was NOT supposed to be like that and someone at Bungie thought it is funny to picture him like this.

    whats left are old D1 exotics that have been brought into D2 with lesser power, still slow moving guardians and slow charging abilities and finally they removed a lot of content frommVanillla D2 users to force them into buying the dlc..

    i have no idea who at Activision holds a gun at bungies head to force them into making those weird and stupid descisions or if Bungie just cares more about short term gains than about the game itself..
    lets see how that pans out.. in this current state, Destiny 2 has become unplayable. for vanilla Players and too boring to play for dlc players if you are not thrilled to play the ONE public event on Mercury about 60 ! Times to unlock one of the mediocre "vex weapons" you simply aquire from brother vance.. ah yes there is also ONE lost sector..

    (oh i forgot the "raid" ... one jumping puzzle and 2 stage bossfight".. thats it.. awesome.. isnt it.? and you get the exact same rewards as before #twotokensandablue

    addendum: i notices over the past weeks that Mercury has become obsolete once you finished the quite useless "vex" weapons.. it was sitting in my destinator and i was not visiting it once.. now with the new reset you get one new problem..

    people who did not buy the dlc (yet, since a lot of people are waiting for a discount that lowers the price for the dlc to be at par with the real value of it) cant complete about 50% of the weekly milestones, flashpoint is Mercury, not working, heroic strikes do not work at all for non dlc users, so basically the non dlc users are cut down a lot.    … Expand

Also, the new character of Osiris is so flat and unemotional and kind of feels like a waste to save since he is never shown doing anything worthwhile. The final boss of the game is laughably bad and is just a slightly bigger version of a vex cyclops. I thought Destiny 2 would be a new beginning for this franchise, which I think has a lot of potentials, but this clearly shows that Bungie and Activision are not interested in fleshing out this universe and more interested in abusing the consumer's wallet, I Honestly might not ever again play a game set in this universe if Bungie continues down the path of this awful scheme.… Expand

Level 25 done, story done, adventures done, first heroic adventure done. This was all done solo, I imagine in a group I could have been done in half the time. I certainly wasn't blowing through it just to be done, I was taking my time and exploring the Forest while playing each level. I open up my Verse 1 weapon package upon completing the heroic adventure and see the instructions telling me to go farm the same tired public events we've been farming for months. The same public events Bungie is leaning on heavily as "end game"? Ugh.

    I have no reason to care about visiting Mercury. The daily heroic adventure just isn't a big enough draw. The forge weapons, since they're mostly known now, aren't all that impressive either. Osiris as a character was a complete letdown, Ikora's disintegration from Destiny 1's uber-Warlock to Destiny 2's emo-Warlock is pushed further, both Ghost's and Brother Vance's dialog sounds like 8th grader fan fiction. The playable area of Mercury is 75% the size of the playable area of Titan, previously the smallest playable area in Destiny 2. Since power level scaling remains ridiculously strict, I'm already finding myself burned out on the power level grind. When I know that I'm doing the same damage currently at 319 that I'll be doing at 335, who cares?

    Four hours into this new DLC and I'm already back to the "log in Tuesday, do milestones, log out until next week" routine (with exception to logging in maybe once on the weekend to pick up clan engrams). Tonight I played The Division for the first time in a few months and had infinitely more fun with their 1.8 update than I did with Bungie's Finite Forest.

    And how about Bungie shipping out a new exotic weapon that has presently turned Crucible into the Ballroom scene from the original Ghostbusters? Look up Prometheus Lens on Youtube and see for yourself. Don't cross those streams, y'all.

    I was wrong with this belief and I honestly cannot believe this steaming pile was made by the developers of great games like Myth, Marathon, and Halo.

And I say that Osiris is "seemingly central" to the story, but we pretty much don't see anything of him until the very end of the content, where he appears in a small 2-minute cutscene, and that's it.

    The story missions focus on our attempt to rescue Osiris from the Infinite Forest, a vex-constructed series of endless simulations within a crystalline labyrinth. It would have been pretty cool if the name lived up to itself. But almost every mission involves running through the same areas with slightly different enemies and the occasional mish-mash of jumping platforms. You don't even need to kill the enemies most of the time. You can simply run past them and through the several "locked" doors (that you can open at the push of a button) to get to the end of the mission. Of course, sometimes you do come across an actual locked door that can't be opened until you kill the orange-bar Daemon, but that takes all of ten seconds. One of the missions is even a complete reskin of the Pyramidion strike from the vanilla game. All I kept thinking as I went through repetitive mission after repetitive mission was "please hurry up and let me get this over with already". It just isn't fun. It's a chore.

    Also frustrating is the inclusion of what we were told were new strikes. These strikes are not separate from the story missions, but are actual story missions themselves. It feels very cheap when you put yourself into one of the new Heroic Strike playlists and think you're going to get a new strike, but are then subjected to a story mission you've already done with slightly different dialogue.

    All up it took me about three and half hours on my own to complete everything. Nothing like this shallow cash grab should be worth what it costs. The worst thing of all is that only after three months of the vanilla game being released, Bungie has locked prestige content behind the DLC paywall, meaning that if you don't purchase the DLC, you can no longer run prestige/heroic Nightfall or Raid activites. It's disgusting and Bungie should be ashamed of themselves.    … Expand

    The new area is laughably small. Many players have taken to the theory that it was once an 8v8 PvP map. It is so small that the game prohibits you from using your vehicle to traverse it too quickly.

    The majority of new additions are locked behind Microtransactions. While you can earn many of these items for free through leveling up the sheer amount of them makes that a daunting task for anyone who isn't willing to drop more money on something they haven't already paid for.

    It's hard to see any single update fixing Destiny 2 for those who are unhappy with it. CoO was in development before the base game even launched so with it came more of the same poor decisions that crippled the base game. While there were a few sandbox/QoL updates bundled with the DLC they did little to improve the state of the game. The next DLC is at least another 3 months away and Bungie doesn't appear to be motivated to deliver anything but minor, seasonal updates between DLCs.

    Worse than not adding anything significant to the game is that CoO actually removes access to content in the base game for those who forego purchasing what is, in my opinion, a lackluster DLC. Players looking to do Trials and/or the Prestige raid will be forced to buy the DLC or lose access to something they already paid for and had access to prior to the release of CoO.

    To sum this up: The art team delivers a beautiful shell for an empty product. CoO is not worth your time or money. If you want to experience the best parts of this DLC you can find screenshots or videos of the environments online. Destiny 2 will remain a mess of a game for the foreseeable future(not even the Vex can change that).    … Expand

    Absolute awful waste of money. Less than 2 hours of uninteresting game-play, a single strike and old weapons. No bugs fixed, no concerns addressed, and a massive unethical crap on their fanbase - this is ignoring the controversy in that anyone not buying this DLC now has a huge portion of Destiny 2's end-game locked behind a paywall.

    Beautiful setpieces and art design as to be expected but offers nothing to the core gameplay of Destiny 2 or the story. It doesn't fix any of the glaring issues of the game and is just more Destiny. More recycled content, reused areas, the strikes are literally a part of the story and the majority of new content is in microtransactions. Don't buy this if you haven't already.

This DLC and frankly Destiny 2 is terrible (minus the art design).
    Bungie has gone from being the greatest video game developer of all time to absolute trash. The fact Destiny 1 post taken king was a masterpiece and now we have to deal with this shallow garbage is incredibly sad.

    To list just a few complaints of why this game is unplayable trash, crucial missteps that the DLC does not even remotely attempt to fix:

    1 - removal of kiosks/collection

    2 - no strike scoring

    3 - cannot replay story missions at-all

    4 - no armor perks

    5 - no strike - specific loot

    6 - < 1 : 1 min drop rate on raid encounters

    7 - cannot select specific PvP modes

    8 - no PvP private matches

    9 - no rift/capture the flag mode in pvp

    10 - no rumble

    11 - no salvage

    12 - no mayhem

    13 - no 6 v 6 or 3 v 3

    14 - horrendous armor designs compared to Destiny 1

    15 - no sparrow racing

    16 - no machine guns

    17 - no customizable class trees

    18 - no record books

    19 - no equipment segregation in the vault

    20 - exotic weapon quests take inventory slots

    21 - no visible reputation level

    22 - no bounties

    23 - no ammo synths
    24 - weapon / armor have only one active perk 25 - shaders can only be applied once 26 - no connection meters viable 27 - no grimoire 28 - juvenile 6th grade level writing thanks to terrible new writing staff/lead 29 - 2 primaries and 1 heavy might work for pvp but it completely ruins the pve experience and means you will have to tickle bosses to death. (The game has literally become a boring chore to play because of this change) 30 - no dedicated servers (combine this with skill based machmaking and you get hell) 31 - no ranked pvp 32 - not enough vault space to hold 1 of every legendary gun/armor so the game can't even be a collectathon like the devs intended 33 - no raid ship/sparrow/cosmetics out of eververse 34 - exp throttling 35 - terrible weapon mod system that could have been great 36 - all armor is cosmetic, raid armor doesn't even give you raid based perks 37 - doing prestige activities after you've done them once is a waste of time since the rewards are terrible 38 - no hype. all future dlc will bring are more story missions and strikes and raids, and without proper destiny 1 level rpg elements all incentive to do these things are out the window. 39 - exotics are terrible, nothing truly fun or unique about them 40 - no vehicles in multiplayer, something destiny 1 had 41 - no modifiers on heroic strikes, proving bungie hates fun and variety Please do not waste your money on this monstrosity of a DLC that addresses none of the problems that plagued destiny 2.

    Curse of Osiris, beyond the story content and (I hope) the raid lair, is a huge let-down. The infinite forest underperformed and is not what Bungie led us to believe it would be. The patrol zone is one area, and one public event. There is no variation and no enjoyment from it beyond an hour.
    Only a handful of QoL updates will be fixed in this DLC/update. We can sugarcoat this as Bungie listening all we like, but in truth, we're being milked of our cash on a game that, like its predecessor, is an unpolished mess. It has the potential to be incredible, but at every turn there's a problem with the basic design of the game's features, progression, reward, and replayability.
    If by next September D2 has vastly improved and is on-par (or better, hopefully!) than D1 this time six months ago, then by all means enjoy the game! We all want to enjoy it. But as a player who wants to enjoy the game from the start, I will not be buying D3 in its first year. Instead I will buy it a year later, with a DLC bundle. Cheaper, and with no year 1 salt.
    There are many other problems I have with Bungie, from a development standpoint as well as D2 itself, but that's for another thread.

    In addition to this, there are only a few more adventures, and only one Public Event on Mercury, which is tiny. Furthermore, for players who don't buy the DLC, they are locked out of a lot of content they had access to during the core game. It's an absolute travesty.

    This is all surrounded by the fact that the content added to the ingame microtransaction store, Eververse, is huge, which shows what Bungie is really all about.

The new sharable space is small, the campaign is very brief (MAYBE 2 hours in length for most gamers) and just falls flat altogether. The raid can remedy some of the negativity felt after playing this piece of DLC but there will be a significant population of Destiny 2 players that either will never step into the raid or never fully push through it before the online population fades like it did weeks after Destiny 2's launch. It seems that, despite offering a well-tuned shooter experience, Destiny 2 is in the hands of a studio that just cannot land anything well in the MMO space nor does it take Destiny far enough into the RPG space to make its character development feel significant. Weapons have very little variation in effectiveness and, while loot drops are somewhat slower and the climb to 335 will take quite a bit of time, players will likely give up on this Curse of Osiris long before they complete all it has to offer. Bungie is seriously damaging its franchise and following in Destiny 1's footsteps with poor DLC. Had it not been for The Taken King, Destiny would have the worst DLC track record for a AAA game I've ever played. I really hope there's more effort coming from Bungie.

    - The first 'boss' was just one of the bigger robots with more health than usual.
    - No good npcs or social space.
    - Graphics are distinctly average when compared to games like Assassins Creed Origins, which has a huge, gorgeous world with no load times
    - The villain is another generic robot guy who is going to take over the world if he isnt stopped. From what I have seen of him so far he does not talking and just looms about awkwardly.
    - I hate the mute guardian. Why not give him a voice?
    - Why can't I play as Osiris, play alongside Osiris, or just generally see him a bit more?
    - The infinite forest should be renamed 'Infinite Mediocrity'.

    But this is NOT worth the money that I spent on it! Compare this to Witcher 3 Blood and Wine which is the same price and you will see what I mean by that. This will be the last time I buy an expansion in advance. Slam your balls in a car door for a better experience.    … Expand

    An ok, if lacklustre story that only lasts about 2 hours. But the "expansion" is simply an expensive way of having a gateway to microtransactions. It is frankly an insult to fans of Destiny and those who purchased the expansion.

    Disappointed!!! A DLC that as is, is up there with House of Wolves as the worst Destiny add-on to date. It's a stop-gap solution meant to spackle some of the game's cracks, and the real coat of paint hasn't quite come yet. Destiny 2 is still a fantastic shooter at heart, Bungie just hasn't figured out how to actually incorporate all of the Frankensteined MMO parts.

    $20, that is such a rip off, the new planet mercury is just 1 public event arena, that's it! you can walk across it in less than 30 seconds.
    think that the infinite forest sounds cool? wrong! it is just 2 pathways to 2 big towers with a set piece in them, it's pathetic, i mean it doesn't even have any trees in it (except when you go to the tower that takes you to the past.) plus the    $20, that is such a rip off, the new planet mercury is just 1 public event arena, that's it! you can walk across it in less than 30 seconds.

    5 new story missions that all suck ass, the main bad guy is a robot with hands, and i have no idea what it was even doing, although the final boss fight was better than the Ghaul fight, but that's not saying much.
    2 new strikes, which i **** you not are just story missions, such an insult.
    they re-added heroic strikes from D1, but they forgot the modifiers, so they're pointless.
    still no strike specific loot, no random weapon rolls.
    the new public event in OK.
    new lost sector is a joke.
    3 new adventures which are pretty mediocre.
    new raid, which is just another part of the old ****ty raid leviathan.
    then best of all, if you don't buy this ****ty "expansion" you will be locked out of the nightfall, heroic strikes and the prestige raid.
    all the new content worth getting, e.g. ships sparrows and ghosts, have all been locked behind a pay wall (lootboxes) and best of all, shaders are still single use.

    0/10
    Bungie go **** yourselves, i will never buy one of your terrible games ever again, you have lost all respect from me.    … Expand

    If you want cool stroy, addictive plot and good shooting in campaing then stay away from this DLC. Story is boring as **** easy and cheesy. Last boss is a joke (12 shots to kill, literally)

    This DLC was released only to ripoff people who want's to play endgame Strikes and Raids, because it's the must for them.

    It's not worth the money. The content you get feels more like a big update. Non of the community concerns about the game was addressed and fixed. We will see more people stop playing Destiny 2. It's a shame because the game have some much potential.

    I already hate Infinite forest, because it's everywhere! In the story mission, in adventures, the new strike is also located in there. And the new map?... What kind of joke is that? Yeah, it looks nice and all, but it's ridiculously small and has only ONE public event! There is no raid (it's not included, we have to wait for a patch!), no masterwork system, no new gear acquisition - eachI already hate Infinite forest, because it's everywhere!

    Lacking content and doubling down on what's wrong with the vanilla game, Curse of Osiris is a lightweight grind and a missed opportunity to fix Destiny 2's faults. [Feb 2018, p.97]

    It still has much to do. But for the first time in a while, Destiny 2 players have finally been given something to be positive about. [Issue#315, p.116]

    Unless you’ve already bought this as part of a season pass, don’t waste your money on Curse of Osiris until Bungie actually changes direction, and I’m not talking about executing their proposed changes which painfully miss the mark yet again. The base game of Destiny 2 is a great shooter for 50-60 hours of solid content on your first play through of a redemptive story. But there is no endgame to keep going beyond that and there isn’t anything packaged into this DLC than enhances that initial experience. At this point, if you’re desperate for a looter/shooter then either fire up Destiny 1 again, watch Anthem videos on YouTube and hope for a brighter Q4 2018, or else maybe go give the Division a chance. It had a dumpster fire launch but can be had on the cheap now and I hear it’s become a very good game in its current state.
