    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 storyline is redundant, same enemies just a bit different looking skins. Most of the new items are either re-skinned re-named or hidden behind boring and uninspired grind.

    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.

    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.
