    Curse of Osiris is so good that on the second day after it's release, I spent all night playing Civilization V instead. This is the kind of release that reminds why I usually skip DLC. Destiny is of course a little different. The DLC is pseudo subscription plan, and if you don't buy it then you will be locked out of end game content.

I was fine with this in the days of Destiny 1 because I ever night I running raids and Iron Banner with dozens of PlayStation friends. Destiny 2 kind of sort of definitely ruined all of those end game activities. Now the DLC is regrettable money sink. The additional content is so light, so inconsequential, that it lessens the entire Destiny 2 experience. We should have had real fixes to the game's problems. Instead we get more problems.

    My advice is to skip this DLC and perhaps all of Destiny 2 and its DLC until Bungie pulls its figurative head out of its figurative behind.    … Expand

    Taking away content that was already paid for, the greed train continues it's journey. Amazing that Bungie hasn't learned anything in 2 months but I suppose no one really thought they would.

Mercury is the size of a small multiplayer map, the new strike is just a replay of the mission, the new guns are just old Destiny 1 guns reskinned. Everything of substance is locked behind Eververse.

    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.

    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.
    I'm going to save my money in the future. And my sanity.    … Expand

    The story has nothing to do with the main game. It feels like this Dlc excise just because they need to have a Dlc so that they get more money from the player base.

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.

    Campaign is not long as all other pre-year 2 expansion (crota and house of wolves had both small campaigns). But that look of mercury before the vex it´s just unbelievable beautiful. Destiny 2 have a lot of things to be fixed, but in the overall it´s stil a good game. Strange thing is people complained that it was the same game as D1, and now they complain that things should be like D1.

Due to the fact that one of my primary complaints about the core game is that the campaign was too short, this paid for DLC added pretty much absolutely nothing.

    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 story missions take you to vanilla zones which even if it makes sense lore wise is just lazy and shows how little effort bungie takes into developing their game.

    This DLC adds nothing meaningful when it comes to content and the fact that the few quality of life changes are locked behind a pay wall is also something that is digusting.

    The only people that will find this to be even remotely good are the hardcore fans that will follow Bungie and buy their products no matter how lazy and bad it is.

    If you're thinking about spending your 20 dollars on this DLC, take my advice and don't. Use that money on something that gives you more than 1.5 hours of content.    … Expand

Now we finally have an "expansion" that appears to focus on him in a central role. I say "expansion" because the content in this DLC is terribly lacking. 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 campaign is underwhelming with the bulk of your time spent wondering when the good stuff is supposed to show up. The Infinite Forest is a poorly executed distraction which only serves as an annoying hurdle while traveling from point A to point B. The bulk of which can be rushed through without so much as firing a single shot. It's only when you get to a locked gate that you are forced to interact with an enemy or three to proceed. The whole idea of the Infinite Forest sounds good on paper, but in practice it's a mess of poor game design. It seems, however, that the world designers and artists had a field day with this one. Being thrown into the past and getting to see a long lost version of a certain planet (no spoilers here) is breathtaking and beautifully realized, at least for the brief time you spend there. Don't expect any real character engagement here, as the titular Osiris only rears his head in a stunning cut scene at the start and a bit towards the end. I still don't know much about Osiris after having played through this roughly two hour experience. He remains a frustrating mystery. Overall, the game itself isn't offensive as far as how well it does at being a video game, but it certainly isn't exciting.

    P.S. A little word of warning: Bungie has level locked certain endgame activities. These new level caps cannot be obtained without purchasing Curse of Osiris essentially blocking DESTINY 2 owners who have not picked up this expansion from achieving every trophy/achievement due to not being able to participate in these activities. This fact has contributed to my final score.

    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.

    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.

    basically its just a trader and entrance to "not so random dungeon generator"
    Characters 0/10: Hey do you even know what emotion is? Feels like ikora and osiris are played by some manager who was distributing tasks to people his whole life.

    Bungie failed to live up even to minimum expectation, no new location, 90% of quest time you just wander on already existing locations. Only few new weapons which dont bring anything new to the game. Vex enemies have new models but no new mechanics, and then dont appear in game at all.
    What the F have i even paid for? Grinding tokens that give same weapons i already have but in different look.

    Im really trying to give it score of 1 or 2 but i just cant.
    No more money for bungie, and i feel sorry for blizzard to even putting them into battle net client    … Expand

    A 2 hour long dlc that does nothing to fix the RPG elements that got butchered in the move from destiny 1 to 2. This DLC and frankly Destiny 2 is terrible (minus the art design).

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. Destiny 1 was a hobby, Destiny 2 is a chore.    … Expand

    Firstly there are numbers between 0 and 10 don’t be afraid to use them.

    So for me this expansion maybe needed to wait another couple of months until they had worked the bugs out of the main game, it’s feels light much in the same way a couple of the original games expansions did and I would go as far as saying it’s the smallest expansion to do date. As usual the mechanics are great    Firstly there are numbers between 0 and 10 don’t be afraid to use them.

    As usual the mechanics are great and environments are stunning but there is a shallowness to it all, recycled enemies, weapons and nothing really new to the way the game is played there is so much potential in this game that hasn’t been realised, give us a reason, a real reason to keep playing.

    Worth playing but just don’t expect a lot in the long term at this stage.    … Expand

    a 2 hour campaign for $20? Is this a joke? The expansion doesn't address any major concerns about the game. No more vault space, no functional vault with decent sorting options, HDR is broken no PS4, mod system is still garbage, etc etc. Oh, and public events got nerfed. Thanks Bungo!

    2 hour campaign, 1 strike, and old exotics ported from Destiny 1.

    Don't waste your money on this pathetic excuse of a cash grab from a company that continues to rip it's fans off.

    I quote 100%, we share the same thoughts. "I do not feel like I got my money's worth. It feels like Bungie cut a small chunk of the original game and held it aside as a weak, undersized, paid expansion. What a rip..."

    Curse of Osiris is a beautiful piece to an already great base game. The story is a nice addition to the lore I've been wanting to dig into, the art direction is outstanding, season 2 provides awesome unlocks and Osiris provides cool exotics. I don't like that it was $20, but there is good content to be found.

    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.
