    An expansion for Destiny 2 that is forgotten and didn’t do anything to write home about.

    This is the worst Destiny experience ever. No story. No characters. Bad missions. It's horrible. Awful.

    Apesar de conter uma história muito boa, a jogatina é fraca e muito vazia. Curse of Osiris não trouxe praticamente nada de novidades para o jogo, a campanha é pequena e os novos cenários são minúsculos, me decepcionei um pouco.

    Extremely underwhelming, curse of osiris offers the bare minimum and at times less than that to keep players interested. With it's lack of meaningful content, poor storytelling and extremely disappointing raid, Bungie has delivered a gut punch to the fan base of what seems to be a dying game.

    Curse of Osiris was a curse to the game and I'm not being theoretical, it's short and shallow content seemed to extend the lifeline of Destiny 2 more than expand it. Now I like no I love Destiny 2 and Destiny 1 and the whole lore and franchise however this was embarrassing.

    I'll start good, it had nice visuals, it had a sense of connectivity with the Vex and Osiris and all things confusing and futuristic, and that's where the good points end. What this expansion failed to achieve was any sense of direction, any reason to play it, I'm sure if this had never been released no one would have missed it.

    The idea of knowing Osiris seemed like a awesome concept an idea we needed but what we got was not what we needed. The story bounced into mixed confusion not really knowing what was going on and the ultimate boss fight feeling like a minor enemy to overcome, I mean for God sake we were aided in defeating it's not exactly a challenge.

    The Vex, they were ok but again seemed minor, less important the more you went into the story and the premise of the game.

    This expansion was awful it failed the expectation, having more lore, more challenge, unique items hell even a Vex God would have given this a fresh experience something I would have enjoyed playing. I know soon as I finished the story and the little side quests I haven't been back to Mercury and its a shame because it has something about it that was never used and was bogged down into something we will all soon forget.    … Expand

    This was their answer to the lack of content in Destiny 2? A DLC that was painfully obvious that it was finished before the game released and should have been available at launch. More reskinned gear and enemies and the story was pretty much the same as RoI. The “Infinite Forest” is just an overhyped interactive loading screen, and the endgame is STILL non-existent. Do not buy.

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This DLC is an improvement on the mod system of Destiny 2, the Raid Lair (Eater of Worlds) is in my opinion a more enjoyable endgame activity than Leviathan was, new cosmetic version of armors were introduce, some new exotic weapons, the only exotic Ghost Shell reward for gameplay (it something-ish), the campaign boss (Panoptes) were unique in term of design and lore function, actual purchasable items from vendors, and a slightly more usable social space compare to The Farm.

    The story was alright but it could be better, the supposedly protagonist is still a mute (don't know how or why and Bungie isn't responding to any questions on this topic) and during some cutscenes deliver some of the most awkward silent moment in gaming history (probably just me though), and the weapons forged by the game only still functional foundry is meh (useable and look cool but there are better options).

    Microtransaction, more desirable loots were place inside Destiny 2 microtransaction store than the game itself plus this DLC. Destiny 2 since launch seem to be suffering from an endgame activity/loot problem and this DLC doesn't seem to be able to alleviate this problem very effectively on the contrary this DLC put more potential to be endgame loots inside the microtransaction store (Eververse) and RNG lootboxes. The only way to obtain the loots from this microtransaction endgame is to deal (in some way) with the microtransaction store and hope that you're feeling lucky at the time.

    Personal recommendation, go on Youtube and watch gameplay footages of this DLC before deciding whether or not to buy it (don't watch review as such videos may be subjected to bias).

    This is just my opinion on this DLC which is subject to change depend on how Bungie handle it and I'll finalise once the next DLC launch.    … Expand

    The mechanics implemented emphasize on massive monetization, meaning it is all about squeezing out even more money from the players. Bungie delivered a half baked story, poorly implemented just to get you items that are hidden behind a paywall of so called Eververse.

    Aside from absolutely disgusting hidden XP Throttling that keeps you from earning level progression engrams and pushing you indirectly towards the real money loot box shop , or implementing not working game mechanics like three of coins that extract in game currency so called "shards" and resulting in a contrary negative effect to the random drop rate of exotic engrams it supposedly should "enhance". That extension is just a big blunder and scam.

    As a person that played through Destiny 1 with all the extensions and saw how bad that company treats their loyal fan base. Dumping load after load of manure in their face, Destiny 2 and that expansion are a good example of how that cancer of greed, deceit and marketing new speak dumps an ever bigger and constantly growing load of crap on gamers. Forcing them to buy an extension because initially, they took away vanilla content players already bought with the main game and hiding it behind a paywall. Introducing items that are one time use (shaders) in the base game and dumping new versions of that shaders and still giving players super limited vault space that works against the main motivation of the game which is collecting items and sets of gear; or how about repeating errors and interface clutter that was already resolved in Destiny 1,or manipulating game play to the players disadvantage and deceiving them on screen just to hide the fraud underneath, and the list goes on and on and on. The multiplayer environment is sooooo bad and limited. bugged overpowered weapons, lagging and mismatching in crucible matches because Bungie now does not even show a players connection quality because of a peer to peer approach, and it goes on and on and on. You do yourself a great favor to just stay away from the base game and that hideous extension, because it seems there is no sign that Bungie will let that cash cow Eververse go.

    You learn absolutely nothing about those characters. In fact, I left with more questions than answers. In the entire "storyline", you speak directly with Osiris maybe once or twice, strike dialogue notwithstanding.

    The characters are laughably bad. The dialogue is on par quality-wise with the rest of the game, i.e. juvenile and 1-dimensional.

    You also get a couple new weapons and one or two armor sets that you can earn through gameplay. But worry not! The Eververse stock has been expanded by a huge number of items! Hope you like your lootboxes!

Worst thing is i had prepaid for the 2 dlcs and now i dont know even if i am going to play them

    More attention was spent in their cosmetic loot boxes than the actual game content.
    This DLC is laughable amount of "content" but is what most of the people that bought the deluxe edition has come to expect from this shoddy company.
    DO NOT BUY.
    activision/bungie is as bad as ea. They just don't get enough of the spotlight shown on them. Yet.

    The graphics and art are superb throughout. The addition of Masterworks weapons added some much needed grind to the sequel of this series. And the use of armor ornaments to save on vault space was a brilliant idea.

    Yes, the campaign is short. That's a valid point. And yes they reuse story missions as strikes, but that in itself is not a bad thing, that actually make more sense than how Destiny 1 just had totally unrelated strikes that weren't part of the story... the only problem with reusing story missions as strikes is that there wasn't much of either.

    And yes, Eververse is over-stepping it's bounds by putting most loot in a looter/shooter behind a pay wall, and having the best cosmetic exotics only available for those who purchase.

    It's not perfect, so I don't give it a perfect score, but it's not nearly as bad as other people are saying. Especially if you've ever liked any raid in Destiny's history, or if you like co-op PvE shooters. The raid lair is a superb encounter and it was time gated and not available to play on launch day of the DLC, which is normal. But I think a lot of the negativity is coming from people already upset about the Destiny sequel, and people who play Destiny but don't raid (ikr, why?) and people who haven't done the new raid lair which was the main content of the DLC.    … Expand

    This DLC does nothing to fix the end game and I struggled to find a reason to keep playing after day one. Mercury fails as a social space having only one lost sector and one event. The Infinite Forest basically functions as a hallway to the actual adventure. I've never seen a DLC blow it this badly.

The level cap increase was pointless, power levels are even more pointless, even with the increase; you are never powerful (as of this writing i'm 311 and heroic strikes are "tooled" for 270)

The level cap increase was pointless, power levels are even more pointless, even with the increase; you are never powerful (as of this writing i'm 311 and heroic strikes are "tooled" for 270)

    The new Heroic adventures are way over tooled as are Heroic Strikes. In the former's case, throwing the ridiculous timer/buff-debuff from night strikes on them makes for terrible design for single player excursions.

    I'm supposed to combat the enemies within the adventure no? So when you stick me with the elemental round robin debuff thing on the "Up&Up" adventure making combat drag down to either:

    a)hot swapping a weapon every 30secs to the right ele attunement (ridiculous and tedious)
    b)Deal subpar kinetic damage to basic enemies with giant health bars. (tedious and just silly)
    c)ignore all enemies but just the one you need to kill

    i'm going with (C), which defeats the purpose of PLAYING THE GAME! Then throw a 5 min timer to flash clear the last leg of the adventure when the whole time i've avoided nebulous enemies because the hindrances to the adventure steered me to do just that. But NOPE, MURDER EVERYTHING NOW! Did I mention that two shots kill you and the respawn forces you to lose precious seconds running back to just die right away anyways. Heroic Strikes are on the right track. They are basically night strikes without the timer and silly debuffs....too bad the gear is bunk.

    World content on Mercury is short, boring and monotonous. Raiding in Destiny 2 is pointless and the raid lair is more of the same. As for the rest of the package....there isn't much to look at.

    The adventure from the launch was really good. As it was my first foray into the title I really enjoyed it. Once I hit the top though; it got old, it got old real quick.

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.

    -New planet is absurdly small with only 1 public event and 1 Lost Sector and sparrows are disabled

    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”.

    -Heroic Strikes are back! BUT... They are hidden behind a paywall for people who bought the game just three months ago.

    -1 new strike and 1 new PvP map... Just... A total fail here. Destiny 2 didn't ship with very many maps to begin with on either side. People who like PvP and strikes just got a big F U from Bungie.

    -A huge broken problem- Prometheus Lens literally a death star in PVP way too strong so Bungie, being the geniuses they are made it available to Xur this Friday so now EVERYONE uses it. PvP didn't just get broken it literally is unplayable now especially to the poor souls who haven't upgraded (downgraded) to Curse of Osiris.

    In short, Destiny 1 was a complete flop up until The Taken King expansion. Bungie has literally learned nothing from this. They just slow feed us things we have had before that were better a few years ago. You can tell now that money is more important to them than the fans or making something of value. WIthin a couple days I'm back to being bored again with less money in my wallet and now I'm just feeling angry and ripped off.

    Remember, it took 3 expansions (small ones, see what I'm saying about Bungie doing the same thing to Destiny 1 to Destiny 2) til The Taken King came out. By then, players spent $60 for vanilla Destiny, $30 for the expansion pass (House of Wolves, Dark Below) and another $40 for The Taken King totaling $130 for a game just to make Destiny 1 not a complete flop. We are being taken for a ride and IT NEEDS TO STOP!!!

    Very well done Bungie, keep up the good works and no one would buy your games anymore.
    - Boring short story
    - Re-skin weapons and enemies
    - Overpriced DLC

The map is absolutely tiny and completely devoid of anything interesting. 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

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. I'm close to abandoning this game entirely, especially with promising titles on the horizon, such as Anthem.… Expand

    3 new adventures which are pretty mediocre.
    new raid, which is just another part of the old ****ty raid leviathan.

    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.

This is a very story driven DLC that adds another patrol area and some story missions. Now this will be said with the knowledge that they are supposed to add things in the coming weeks to fix alot of the problems the game has, but very little was changed with the original patch. As much as I love the gameplay here, I'm already done with the main story mode missions on all 3 of my characters, and that took about 4 or 5 hours total. Some of those missions are super tedious but they are saved with a very good boss fight. I will be changing this review in the next month once all of the changes that Bungie has promised us are put out. At this point however, I still see very little reason to come back and play this on a regular basis. I believe that the backlash over lack of things to do in the end game caught Bungie off guard and they werent' prepared the sh**show that they came with it and are now scrambling. We will see where they go with this here. The only caveat I can give players is that, with the original Destiny, the game truly didn't get good until the second or third expansion. It's a hard pill to swallow but all of the potential is here to be a very good, maybe even a great game, if Bungie can figure out what they want to do with it going forward. They are caught in a very precarious spot atm. If they can figure out what works and what doesn't and are able to apply that going forward, this could be an amazing game. I just don't know if I have the faith in them to do something like that unfortunately.… Expand

    D2: Curse of Osiris is good. The story won’t blow your mind and the level design leaves a lot to be desired.

Great story telling is not what Bungie is about in the Destiny Franchise. Complaining about the narrative length or quality is a bit like whining that the Saw movies are crappy rom coms. I know we all wanted it to be Halo set in another universe but I’m sorry, dear reader, Bungie went in another direction. Destiny is far more akin to Borderlands than Halo, and I’m okay with that because I loved me some Borderlands.

    So, is Curse of Osiris is worth playing? Yes. Why? Because it does more of what Destiny does well: Skin soldiers in weird robo-samuri costumes and toss them into a world where lasers, rockets, flaming hammers, lightening grenades, swords (with ammo!) and shield tosses a la Captain America all coexist beautifully for a single noble purpose: Make stuff explode... to save the universe. Or something. Curse of Osiris gives me more shiny skins and expody tools with all the amazing sounds and animations to go with them. Mercury is pretty. You should go there. Vex trampolines are the best. Like Moana’s dad says, “It’s all you need.”

    Do I wish it had a better story? Sure. Do I think Bungie could be more creative with their settings? You bet. I really, truly, deeply believe that Bungie has twice now blown the opportunity to really make planets unique by introducing differing gravity effects. Maybe the atmosphere amplifies or nerfs specific weapon types. How about weather variations? Or parts of the planet are only accessible during specific times of day due to hazardous solar flairs or raining sulfur or carnivorous plants or it’s closed for a Vex renovation. Whatever. I just feel like all the planets were built by KB Homes but had different interior decorators.

    Despite it’s apparent failings, D2 and by extension Curse of Osiris is still worth playing and will likely hoard hours of your life that could have been spent with your children, which makes it a good game but bad parenting. As for story, in a world with Nuclear Korean dictators, tweeting presidents, lechorous Hollywood sex hounds, hurricaines, fires, and MSG I’ll gladly plop down $20 to make the universe a safer place by making stuff explode.    … Expand

    Curse of Osiris is, quite possibly, the laziest excuse for content from Bungie in the modern DLC era of gaming. Didn't get a chance to start playing it until 7pm my time on release Tuesday and by 11pm I was done with all of the major events on Mercury except for the 11 Forge weapons.

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. Bungie Community Manager DeeJ announced that the gun shipped with a bug but if we believe that excuse it shows they didn't even test basic elements before pushing the content live...    … Expand

    - 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'.

    So im not completely cruel I will give it a 2/10. Graphics are ok, sound design is fantastic, and I do like a higher level cap as im a sucker for numbers.

    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.
