    Fun for a while. Gunplay is solid and carries a good chunk of the experience, but characters are forgettable, loot feels meaningless, campaign is barely coherent, and only one mission really stands out in set and art design. Some worlds feel fun to play around in, others feel like largely barren wastelands.

    Bungie's follow up to the glorious Halo series was clearly developed as an online multiplayer experience...and it shows.

The solo campaign although beautifully presented never really has the structure or narrative of a true single player game. My pet hate - respawning - means that death is little more than an inconvenience and the constant stream of pick ups makes ammo too plentiful to make tactics and weapon swapping truly necessary. This renders the combat experience little more than constant level grinding which is a shame as there are the makings of a great game in here.… Expand

    Anything under a 7 would be unfair because of the sheer amount of time I have spent with my brothers here but I certainly would not recommend this game per se.

    The overall community is pretty toxic, there are tons of microtransactions (making the base game free didn't change **** about this payment model being super shady and unfair), the introduction for new players into the universe is espacially at this point super rough and you really gotta stick to it to have a chance to enjoy it and lastly it's nearly unplayable if you don't have friends to play it with.    … Expand

    5/10. The concept is there, a coop looter shooter in space with different classes with different abilities and skills. Grinding out to get that gun or armour you want as a reward is something that interests me. However, is executed fairly poorly. Significantly more fun with friends, but costs a trillion dollars to play in full.

The situation Bungie is currently experiencing is nothing new as other game studios face similar situations. Maintaining interesting content for their player base is no easy feat, and it is easy to disappoint. Though game developers that learn from feedback and criticism most certainly produce a phenomenal game. Bungie does listen to feedback but the changes are related to in game complaints such as nerfs to weapons/gear, subclasses, and cheating in competitive game modes. The changes that I desire are more exotic questlines, secret dungeons, and community events. They have done these during (Black armory and Season of the Dawn) 2018-2019, and never revisited the following content. During the first 2 years of Destiny 2 raids often released having 6 raids total. Currently Bungie is releasing a frequency of 1 raid per year, and now releasing raids in form of legacy raids that contain minor changes to mechanics. It is very difficult to bring friends or new time players to the game since a lot of their content is paywalled, and vaulted. After spending 7 years playing Destiny, and I grow weary of this game's current path. Right now I do recommend to wait as Bungie is currently planning changes during the Witch Queen Expansion year of 2022.… Expand

    One of the PS4's seminal looter shooters, permanently ruined by its own software development team, Bungie.

    Immersive, sprawling, and smartly-constructed MMORPG-esque sci-fi with functioning up-to 6-man co-op PVE multiplayer or 12-man PVP, API apps, websites, and all-sorts to support offline administration sorely lacking in games such as The Division 2 that are an administrative burden and brutally joyless time-suck.

    Alas, any goodwill Bungie created with its Destiny 1 fanbase was comprehensively destroyed in 2020-21 by an apparently indecisive, devil-may-care, 'we have your money now so we don't give a flying f**k' attitude. In detail, Bungie single-handedly ruined the entire PVE side of the game with weapon sunsetting and content vaulting. This generated a situation whereby the most devoted of long-term Destiny players were forced to re-purchase the same content they'd previously paid for, over and over, while other relatively recent paid-for content was mercilessly taken away. At the same time, weapons, armour, and other exotic items that players had spent months or even years grinding and perfecting were summarily confiscated from players, leaving them with a lacklustre, malfunctioning sandbox devoid of new weapons and items that should have filled the vacuum but never arrived.

    Despite massive online backlash that caused even Bungie themselves to publicly concede that they wouldn't ever dare sunset again, the damage was never undone! So in true doublespeak fashion, despite Bungie publicly admitting it had made a mistake, all players who lost their hard-earned product of hundreds of hours of gaming STILL never received them back again! To make matters even worse, Bungie then poured gasoline on the fire already incinerating what was left of the relationships it held with its player base by re-introducing old weapons and armour that had been previously confiscated, and forcing players to re-acquire and re-grind god rolls on them all over again!

    Unsurprisingly, players left in their thousands and never came back, some of whom had played the game for as far back as the Destiny 1 beta seven long years ago.

    Simultaneously, cheaters were permitted to run rife within the PVP side of the game to such an extent that all free-to-play PVP has been rendered generally unplayable. Blatant aimbot, invulnerability, limitless ammo, hyperspeed, x-ray vision, and other god-mode software and hardware-based cheats were permitted to infect most PVP modes, right up to and including the pinnacle of Destiny 2 PVP - the Trials of Osiris. This combined with Bungie's clumsy use of a new guardian ability, 'stasis', as a means to force players to purchase the latest DLC at the time, turned the non-cheating miserable leftovers of PVP into a complete farce. The stasis ability is still so, SO overpowered that it continues to ruin the game for players even today. In short, the choice is to either use stasis builds on all your three characters, all of the time, or lose every PVP match you start.

    Destiny 2 is yet another sad case study in how humankind has failed to evolve beyond money, and therefore witnesses the profit motive ruin most aspects of life on an almost minute-by-minute basis. Play it only if you can time-travel back to 2014, and plan to cease playing in 2019.

    In all, the Destiny and Destiny 2 gaming experience suggests that Bungie is no longer a game developer you should entrust your time or your money to unless you're content to give up both for nothing in return.    … Expand

    A good game, but needs fixes. The story is good, and so are the graphics and gameplay. The newer areas were all detailed and awesome. The downside are the weapons and armor. They feel either underpowered or overpowered, and are too hard to get. It makes a good game not as good as it could be if it was fixed.

    While I have played this game into oblivion, I find that the yearly charge (which cost as much as a new game every time) is getting to be too much. I hope they find a way to continue expanding this game, but at a much lower cost to the consumer. Gameplay wise, it’s always been pretty good, but story wise it’s mostly been lackluster other than forsaken.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With Bungie taking Destiny 2 and with us all going into a new era of Destiny, i think it is time to do my review now. Okay so lets begin with the story. Now I know that Destiny’s in game story is not really anything special and the real story is online in the grimoire system or now in the collections tab for the lore section but I must say I really liked how the cabal destroyed the tower and took the traveler with our powers. Although i must say that the character development and the way the characters act and talk are beautiful. Cayde-6 is still my favorite character in the Destiny franchise due to his attitude towards everything and how he’s a joker/comedian. The weapon system and armor system at first was okay but now as i’m making this review it has became much better. I REALLY loved how they added random rolls back to which give tons and tons of replay value to certain events. Okay so now with the end game content. At first you had the nightfall and the Leviathan Raid which was okay for awhile but got boring/repetitive. Now we have tons of raids to which i think the number is 5/6, we also have now many different types of Nightfall which is nice and pretty cool if you ask me. We also now have a new activity called Nightmares to which have certain guns/rolls to which is REALLY cool but VERY challenging if your not high enough of power. The final thing that i would add is how the exploration on the worlds have been upgraded AMAZINGLY compared to the last game and the same thing can be said about the public events too. However, I will say that the everversce store is packed with goodies but sadly you need silver to which you can ONLY get from spending real money but they are fixing it as I'm making this review. All in all, this game is basically a slight downgrade in my opinion from the first game but it doesn’t do a bad job as being a sequel to the franchise but I personally prefer the first game.… Expand

    Review updated, my original review was a 4 when Destiny 2 came out. Since the Forsaken update I have to change this now as the game has massively improved. Forsaken has brought much better end game content, random rolls on weapons again and weapons and armour worth trying to get again.

    Even if Bungie backtracks on some of these horrendous missteps, there’s evidence that the dev team is either flailing around without a clear idea of the experience they want to present, or even worse, they’re happy to offer the least amount of mediocre content possible until the player base starts pushing back. When free-to-play titles like Warframe and Let it Die seem monumentally more generous and offer vastly more entertainment value than a triple-A sixty dollar release built with a budget large enough to feed whole continents, it’s clear that something has gone horribly wrong.

    It’s this sense of streamlined player experience that really defines Destiny 2. Where the first game had you grinding for hours just to experience increasingly diminishing returns, this is a sequel that trims away its processor’s frustrations, firmly putting fun first.

    Destiny 2 is tough to compare to other shooters or games, but it is evidently a better title than part 1. The campaign is longer, the progression makes more sense, the structure is more satisfying and the sheen and splendor on the various planets entices even more. Destiny is comparable with its predecessor after the add-on The Taken King, and is therefore a more solid foundation for the coming months of content.
