    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.

The rest is reskinned garbage masquerading as new content. 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. Don't waste your time with this pathetic excuse for a DLC. Bungie should be ashamed of themselves.… 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.

    I never dreamed that they would cheat us, gamers, like that once again - this DLC is even worse than PoE, it's garbage - the amount of content is for 2 hours of game - it should be included with a 6-pack of beers, not cost 20 USD.

    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

    Lack luster and uninspiring. This should have been included in the main game. Don't buy this. Spend your money on someone who deserves it better.
    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.

    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.

    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.

It's short, repetitious to the extreme, filled with E grade writing and as per usual is Bungie reusing assets at its finest.

I found this to be really disappointing, especially as half of the missions took place in areas from the main game (iirc 4 in total, 2 on Mercury, 2 on planets from the core game). 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.

    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.
