    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.

And i'm looking forward to the new post campaign grind where they have finally added powerful gear for doing heroic story missions daily and 3 strikes per week. And just like Mario which has a 97 on here despite literally the same story they've been doing for 30 years, it's the crispy and solid gameplay with good friends that always puts destiny at the top of what i want to play.… Expand

    I am really enjoying it. It's a little short on content, but does a lot to add to the lore and over all feel of the game. This DLC essentially adds an additional planet, a 3 hour campaign, a couple new playlists, 4 new adventures, a couple new PVP maps, about 15 new exotics, and a "raid lair".

    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.

    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

Hitting the new cap of 335 probably won't take you too long either. Enemies have scaled to the new levels, as have the events (strikes, raids, etc).
    Honestly, I feel that many of the negative reviews are from people who already were not happy with the base game or didn't have the game at all.
    Bottom line: if you've enjoyed the base game, the DLC will feel worth it to you. More of the same game play with new weapons, armour and activities (as mentioned above).

    We get 17 Exotics (armors and weapons included) and some of them are the very best D1 exotics which is so exciting.

    Heroic Adventures are great, the adventures are beautiful and one of them (Bug in the system) is so well designed. Haven't played Strikes yet - so no comments there. Heroic Strikes made a comeback and are good.

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

The story campaign is short, which is actually a good thing because if you’re playing any permutation of Destiny 1 or 2 because you like the story then you just don’t like stories. You hate them. 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

    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 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 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 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

    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.

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

Again..

They partially did. However I learned nothing I didn't already know about the Vex in the campaign, and Ikora isn't any more likable than before, they tried to make her funny but it didn't work she's still very dry. 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

    This DLC is a good example of a lazy effort. Once again Bungie have demonstrated that they do not have a clue about writing a good story with interesting characters. As always the art direction, music , game mechanics is first class. But that does not hide the fact this game is a re-skin of Destiny 1. To add further insult, Bungie now expect players to buy content that was free in DestinyThis DLC is a good example of a lazy effort.

    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.

    What a good game developer would do in a situation like this would assess extensively the criticism and backlash the vanilla received and postpone DLC plans indefinitely until the game came to a state acceptable to the playerbase. We're talking about Bungo and Activision here though. This DLC dropped just months after D2s release, still suffering from all the same issues plaguing the game,What a good game developer would do in a situation like this would assess extensively the criticism and backlash the vanilla received and postpone DLC plans indefinitely until the game came to a state acceptable to the playerbase. We're talking about Bungo and Activision here though. This DLC dropped just months after D2s release, still suffering from all the same issues plaguing the game, in addition to a lackluster campaign, no significant content or end game added. Not acceptable, but they already had everyone's expansion pass purchases so no loss to them. That's why you don't pre-order people… Expand

    Curse of Osiris is beautiful with a amazing art design and a different kind of story. However where all that success. All else fails. The new crucible maps are boring. Then new guns are bad. The patrol area is one big circle. Bother Vance is a joke. The new adventures are boring and half of them is the same just on hard difficulty and the new strike is just a repeat story mission.

    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.
