    Destiny 2 is a tough nut to judge. It's one of them games which you really want to like, and that looked very promising at launch, but then went completely south. I consider the predecessor to be one of the best online games out there. We had so much fun in Destiny from a social view. And surely we got promised by Bungie that a lot of things would be improved - and some things did - but inDestiny 2 is a tough nut to judge.

I consider the predecessor to be one of the best online games out there. We had so much fun in Destiny from a social view. And surely we got promised by Bungie that a lot of things would be improved - and some things did - but in the end we got a game that treats their fans badly. And it just keeps getting worse. Paywalls, progression mechanics and feedback sets the example of how a game shouldn't be managed.

    Now there's that. And then there's the fact that it's still a well written game, that trademark feel of a Bungie shooter and the embedded clan support that favours friends playing with friends. But the truth is that Destiny 2 is less of a grind than the first game, you could absolutely go Platinum trophy within a month if that's your thing, and players are leaving at a fast pace. Surely, there's stuff to do still, like wandering around the beautiful hubs shooting random stuff and using spacemagic. But you'll soon realise that this game doesn't let you play it the way you choose to, but it prompts you to play it the way that Bungie see it fit to play. You'll find yourself looking for the weapon of the time that actually works playing against others with, or the stuff that actually lets you slip by the timer of a Nightfall (which is ridiculous and simply put not fun) or you can find yourself on a loosing streak in PvP due to issues that the developer haven't even adressed yet. And yet it's a solid well developed game in it's core, but in there you'll also find a conflict and flaws and a developer who doesn't seem to give a damn about the player community. If you're a griever or a troll. This is the game for you.

    At this time I haven't picked up on the first expansion. But you should if you want to play the game for the first time, because you see - the developers have locked up basic endgame content behind owning that expansion. It's essentially consumer rape. And of course they did it like that, because like I said. They don't give a damn.

The story isn't anything to write home about, but it did enough to keep me interested and some of the characters I thought were well done. I enjoyed my time with it and doing some of the end game stuff now with my brothers and friends are keeping me interested. A welcome surprise for a game I thought I'd pass over.
    Only problem is the end game. Once again Bungie didn't learn from their previous game. Light on end game content which is a bummer.

    Destiny 2 is a FPS mixed with RPG elements. It's a very fun game. It has improved a lot on original Destiny with more weapons, items, etc. The customization did not change from the original game.

You can argue with that, if feels like the same story you have played before basically like kind of like copy and paste. If you new to Destiny, pick up Destiny 2, for veterans, you can, but I recommend waiting for discount. Expand

    Destiny 2 took some steps forward from Destiny, but took some steps back. The solo story is somehow MUCH weaker than the first game, but the leveling/reputations system is much more streamlined.

And they finally give you access to area maps! But most changes they made were minor and it's really just the same game. I wonder if the budget all went to the incredible voice acting talents they've got in this game. That would explain the lack of real changes.

    A fake mmo shell hiding a surprisingly antisocial shooter. Decent (not great) pvp but without dedicated servers. Counter-intuitive gear grinds that slow to a crawl very quickly. A single player campaign that appears to have it's difficulty set to negative 3 or 4 (Seriously, you could probably just punch your way through it). A plot that makes you the player literally irrelevant by the end. Hours of idling in the worst facsimile of a "social area" that I've ever seen in a video game. If you love any of these things, this is the game for you!

    That being said, I love grinds, and I know I'll be playing the heck out of this game for a long time. I'm just going to hate myself a little for it.

The gameplay is pretty much the same too, in addition to some weapon types and minor changes.
    If you liked Destiny 1, it's 50% chance you will like it and 50% you will not like Destiny 2. Depends on how you deal with all the elements, because you've already seen all of this before. So you can enjoy or you can get bored really fast.
    The total gameplay time of the base game is something around 4-6 hours, depending on how fast you get level 11 (which is the minimum level to unlock the last planet). After this, you have what we call "end game", that consist in repeat every activities over and over to farm better equips to do other harder activities over and over again until the next expansion is out. Live, die, repeat.

    Now, is it worth you to pay $ 60 only for the base game without season pass? No.
    And it's worth $ 100 for the deluxe edition that comes with the first 2 expansions? I do not know.

    Keep in mind that there will not be only 2 expansions. If you pay $ 100 for the base game + season pass with the first 2 expansions, you'll need, in the future, buy another season pass containing the next expansions. The good thing is that the second expansion is programmed for 2019 only, so you'll have time to play what you paid without waste more money. The suitable option, of course it's the Deluxe edition, but it's more expensive than the normal edition. But hey, you'll pay $ 60 for only the base game? You'll be forced to buy the season pass! Do not do this! If you want, save money and buy the deluxe edition, or do not buy,

    It's a good game but you have better options. Think before buy the game. I didn't bought, I won this game from a friend. If I had to buy, I wouldn't.

    Have a nice day / night, see ya! :)

    it seems like all the big game review site must of been paid off, cause this is simply a DLC to destiny 1. Calling it Destiny 2 is a bit of a head scratcher.

The story mission aren't plentiful enough to even get you to max level, you have to do other missions or public events at certain points in the game as you will not meet the level requirements to proceed with the super limited story. There are the same old patrol missions as Destiny 1, and now they have the adventure missions, which are essentially just patrol missions that involve killing X, collecting X, go to X etc. The strikes aren't any more interesting than the original ones in Destiny 1. The crucible has arguably be lessened by the 4 v 4play type with smaller maps. No new character classes have been made in the 3 years since the original. Some of the new planets are very small and have no real reason to go to once the story missions are completed. Also, why the hell aren't there quick change weapon load outs? What about using one of the D-pad buttons to change to an alternate loadout so you dont have to go into the menu and do it in the middle of a boss fight? I suppose that would take away one of the emote buttons, but what an awesome thing that would be.

    Sure there is quick travel now, but why the hell wasn't there in the first game? It's nothing to celebrate something that has been industry standard for years and years. It's not a plus, it's just not a minus now. Weapon types are essentially the same but now your weapons dont level up with use, again something i dont really like and feels like it detracts from the rpg level up elements. They still don't have proper in game group finding for raids or nightfalls, you can now tag along with a guild group who is looking for another player to fill their ranks.

    Overall calling this game a sequel is a pretty tough pill to swallow. It doesn't bring anything new to the table and feels very half assed. If you haven't played the original Destiny then pick that up on the cheap and enjoy the game.

    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.

    Despite being layered on a solid foundation of excellent shooting mechanics, stunning visuals and a truly magnificent soundtrack, Destiny 2 at its worst is lazy, unimaginative, uninspired, insulting and completely pointless. It isn't Destiny 2, its Destiny 1.5. It isn't a sequel, its just a more expensive DLC.

    The story is boring, the character upgrade system plays like Bungie have never even played an RPG before and the game is nothing but shooting forever. A sequel should build on the foundations of the first, take some risks, add some interesting new mechanics. A sequel should justify it's own existence, and Destiny 2 just doesn't. It is an overpriced, underdeveloped expansion pack and I will not be spending any more money on the 2 already planned, paid for DLC packs.

    Maybe I'll come back when the game is fully released as a complete edition, but until then this is just a waste of time and money.

    What is so disappointing is that it has absolutely nothing new in it and has taken a huge step backwards in so many ways, large and small. For example the raid has almost no fighting in it (and what there is is almost entirely contrived (the repeat Castellum sections)) and the mechanics, in the round, are uninteresting. I personally also do not like the cartoonish graphics of the raid; it is hard to believe the same people made Vault of Glass (actually, most of the those people left...).

    Small things like not being able to mix and match the super sub-trees, the ridiculous decision to have primaries in two slots, making snipers absolutely useless throughout D2, not having machine guns, every activity giving me tokens like I was at a fairground rather than gear, raid gear having absolutely no raid specific perks, not being able to choose the game type in PVP, Nightfall being timed (seriously, what kind of developer makes it a necessity to race past huge sections of game design?!). And those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

    D2 could be fantastic, just like D1 could have been fantastic. The difference for me is that as they have taken all the grind out of D2 and basically give you everything immediately for no effort, I have no incentive to stick with it. Which is a bloody shame as it was the only game I played for 3 years.

However, having said that it is by no means a terrible game. Unlike the first game Destiny 2 actually has a cohesive story with an actual villain who has an aim that they are trying to fulfil. And while this is a gigantic improvement from the first game (as it didn't even have this), it still doesn't change the fact that the story is bland and uninspired, and at many times feels like the bare minimum. However, despite this the story isn't bad, it just isn't good. It's clear that it tries to be good, but I feel that the people who made this story didn't really know how to craft a unique and interesting one and/or was hindered by Bungie and Activision. Now having got that out of the way. The gameplay is very enjoyable and feels very tight which really does help this game. Though one thing I will say is that all 3 types of guns (Kinetic, Energy and Power) don't feel very different at all, which is annoying, but isn't the end of the world. Also, the graphics are for the most part good and throughout the 35 hours I've sunk into this game. The framerate rarely dropped and I experienced next to no crashes. Also the soundtrack is completely fantastic and at times I thought it was better than the actual game. Now to Destiny 2's greatest strength and its greatest weakness: the lore. To make a long story short, the lore is fantastic and I really enjoy learning about it, however for the most part it's NOT IN THE GODDAMN GAME. All it needed was some sort of encyclopaedia like the bestiary in Witcher 3, as that could tell people the lore and information about the main characters, as we know absolutely nothing about them apart from their name, the occupation and their race. The last of this games great problems is how it's completely geared to its current hardcore fans and does nothing to try to appease new more casual players (you can't try to call me that as I've done 3 Nightfalls and the raid (which is really overrated) ). So anybody who isn't an established fan of this franchise will most likely be done by the time that they've finished the main story (which is 8-10 hours long) as what they see during that period isn't impressive enough to make them stick around for endgame content. For me personally I stopped having fun at around 250 power, though I officially stopped playing at 285 power. And due to the games microtransactions and the fact that the minute you get the game the developers are already advertising the first of many Dlc's, I can't help but get frustrated. Though at the end of the day it really isn't terrible and it has made a lot of improvements from its predecessor, but it still isn't what it could and should be, so I can't give it any higher than a seven as while it's very fun, it's far from high end and I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. But if your willing to put up with its many flaws, you can find a good game in there. Expand

The most enjoyable part of destiny 1.5 was Public Events. Overall a average standard shooter 7/10 and i'm being nice because it was marketed as a MMORPG which it is not.

А теперь лучшее что я могу сказать про дестенюху2 - это галочка над игрой года в анкете GJA2017. Да! Вот настолько она хороша. И нет это не пятизвёздочный продукт, но в нём есть потенциал. Лор стал обоснованным за счёт соло режима, PvP больше упирает на скилл, а изучение карт действительно вызывает любопытство.

We were asked to give up everything we worked so hard to earn, had the lore mocked and ripped out of the game, and saw most of the important events and characters tossed in the trash. Then the developers decided to remove most of the game mechanics and content that players enjoyed in Destiny and kept us engaged for three years and replaced them with dumbed-down, repetitious content and over-simplified mechanics that lost all of its appeal in a few days.

    That anyone making Destiny 2 would think that giving a power level 304 character 293 gear would be a good idea simply boggles the mind. Once we reach power level 280 or so, we melt just about every item we get. Other than the small handful of weekly events with powerful engrams as rewards, there is almost nothing that drops in this game that is worth getting if you have played for more than a couple of weeks. Add to this, constant dupes, such as getting the same exotic chest eight times, limited and weak perks on all items, no god rolls to grind for, and treating us like idiots with the abysmal talent tree, and one can only wonder why anyone at Bungie thought they would get away with this insulting mess of a game.

    Then there is the limited amount of strikes and the fact that we can't even decide which strike we want to play. Getting Inverted Spire six times in a row is simply infuriating. And once you have leveled up, there is NO REASON AT ALL to do Lost Sectors or Adventures for a token, 800 glimmer, and a blue item 10 or 11 power levels below your level.

    The loot system in Destiny was just fine. We worked hard for exotics, and there were exciting, long, involved quests for special, powerful weapons. Every drop had the potential to improve our gear and came with interesting perks that we could tweak to our heart's content. But this was all scrapped to give us the current GARBAGE LOOT SYSTEM. I would pay money to hear a developer truthfully explain the reason for this atrocious decision.

    Now, virtually nothing is special or unique, and most loot is simply trash. You removed many of the vendors that had loot we could grind for, and you removed bounties. The Reef is gone, along with many of the planets in Destiny that we know are still in our solar system, so why are they not in the game? These were functions and places that would have added valuable content to the game, and given us more to do as you tweaked the game and added new content. Where are the heroic strikes, dailies, Vanguard and Crucible vendors and all the other stuff that kept us coming back for more? Where is Xur's bag full of useful goodies, including valuable resources, energy ammo, and power ammo.

    Raids were the shining gem of Destiny. So, what did Bungie do? They gave us the most annoying, boring, frustrating raid in history and topped it off with worthless rewards. The loot in the raid is no better than the loot you get from public events. Why spend hours running like a rat through a maze to get the same crap you can get in four minutes. And who thought the only improvements in the loot from the Prestige Mode Raid being Cosmetic was a good idea? And why no raid specific perks on the raid loot?

    What about PVP? I am stunned that a broken emote could result in no Trials for two weeks. How the hell could that even happen? And making all PVP 4 v 4 was a disaster. Almost everyone hates it, and you have effectively eliminated solo players from having any chance to win or have fun in Crucible. Bungie might be interested to know that "4V4 Crucible Sucks" is now a popular Google search term. Plus you removed all the game modes that PVP'rs loved. WHY? Then there is the PVP loot, which is as meaningless as the loot everywhere else in Destiny 2.

    What makes this even worse is the fact that most of us, myself included, were rooting for D2 to be the best game ever. No one could have imagined Bungie would remove everything that worked and give us a version of Destiny 2 that was in the same state as Destiny at launch. It is worse actually because this is the second time this has happened, and Bungie should have known better. The thinking behind the decisions for Destiny 2 is so flawed, it defies any explanation.

    Sadly, if Bungie doesn't fix this mess before the DLC drops, this game is in serious trouble. As we know, player levels have fallen from 3.5 million the week of launch to 1.5 million today. Losing two million players in six weeks says it all. The game is a mess, and the people responsible should be shown the door.

    I wont mention PvP as 4 v 4 is not my thing, should have been at least 6 preferably 8 but there we go, I refuse to play PvP

    I play probably twice a week now, Tuesday for the reset and then a Raid with my Clan, the Raid is alot of fun, but is prone to glitches and is mechanics heavy, its not as good as Vault of glass or Crota but it better than Kingsfall and Prison of Eldars

    I feel the removal of random gun/armor rolls has taken away some of the fun type of grind

    Lost sectors is also a massive missed opportunity in my opinion, they are just pointless after lvl 280

    Strikes this time are a let down, not really that fun compared to D1 and the rewards are useless after 260 imo, the biggest let down is the nightfall strike, they have added a timer mechanic to it, with ways to gain a little bit of time back every week. Bulletsponge enemies/bosses against a timer, no thank you. All the fun modifiers have been removed and replace with stuff like only get your health back after sprinting. There is one fun one where you get your grenade every 30 seconds. Where are the weekly burn modifiers? Its just no fun anymore

    D1 after Rise of Iron was a great game, I expect this too will be a shell of a game until all expansions (removed bits of the game) are out.

This has become more and more apparent to gamers in passing years with competition coming into the genre's market; the Division, Warframe, etc. Of course the most important and clear flaw with this sequel is its regression from the first game, largely due to continued mismanagement and bad decision making on the part of Bungie. Supposedly there was only an 18 month period for the rollout of the now sequel. This would explain the complete lack of content and loss of essential features that were available in year 3 Destiny 1, coming into D2. Also an over use of previous assets, reused content, no variation in enemy types, no new subclasses, and all around no justification for a new release. For any veteran Destiny player, this was not as much a surprise knowing the state that D1 was released in. The release of Destiny 2, however, was an even more egregious sin, being that Bungie had 3 years behind their belt in the form of player feedback for D1, and clear improvements made over the games lifespan. This was not a whim of ignorance, but rather a deliberate manipulation of the player base into believing that Bungie had their best interests in mind. Every action taken in making this sequel was to fatten Bungie's wallets and pull back the amount of work that the developer had to roll out, to the detriment of the player base. Coming into yr2 of D2, the game will potentially be back to its former glory after a year of catching up, Bungie being millions of dollars richer in the process. Shame on them. Expand

    Destiny 2, oh how the sequel lives to a limited imagination. I loved the first and all it's following expansions, that was a good game, no overhaul in micro-transactions or the constant let down of rich content, you jump in to original Destiny, and you'll find yourself having a good time, what a shame the sequel could not quite keep the same standards.

    The story was good, the visuals improved and the layout of the HUD was smooth and clean, but narrative and visuals are nothing once squandered by the perilous antics of transactions and one time consumables. The let down for Destiny 2 is nothing really in the game core itself, more of the virtual shop within it, buying gems or what not is nothing new in games, and buying them to purchase paying only exclusives isn't either, but this game had no need for it.

    I won't say all the bad points, read other player reviews, but beside the bad points there is some light, the story is good, and I mean good, there is a lot of connection between the characters, that was seen in the original, the new antagonist is amazing and the overall direction of the story is great.

    The more open world environments is a neat addition, the ability to explore and play small missions and get new gear is fun, the secrets you unravel the enemies you fight all wrapped up in a beautiful world is well worth exploring.

    Combat is much the same, the classes are altered in their abilities, but that's good as it allows for a more unique experience, I've not played strikes or crucible yet (down to the fact of PS Plus, highly against that), but i would think they would be improved from the last game.

    On a final note there is downsides to Destiny 2 and there are upsides to it, as there are with many games, but if you're looking for clean crisp gun combat and a story that doesn't stray in to confusion, then consider giving Destiny 2 ago.

    This is a review of Destiny 2 and does not take into account any DLC. Overall the base game is extremely lacking compared to the original. The gunplay is still amazing and very few FPS games are better than it.

    In the sequel, Bungie opted for a "story" with a defined villain "Ghaul". I think this effort was made just to say that they have a "story". I feel like this actually hurt the campaign when trying to cater the gameplay towards the story. The campaign was very boring to play and I would've preferred the storyless campaign of Destiny 1 because its campaign was fun to play. Don't even get me started that you can't use your sparrow until you beat the story. IO is extremely boring and the missions after it.

    Crucible is okay, but should not be looked as a very competitive experience and just as a gamemode made as an afterthought. The double primary meta is too slow and the flow of Crucible does not work.

    The strikes are fun, but they are in no way memorable or feel like they fit in the story. In Destiny 1, they tied strikes to the story as a "final boss"/activity for the planet. For example Devil's Lair on Earth. I don't see any link to the story and unlike Destiny 1, I don't remember any of the strike bosses names.

    The raid feels like a raid, but I don't think it's very good.
    -Castellum is not very fun and is unnecessary. In bathers, I don't like that they force you to solo an ultra and you have to rely on others having good enough weapons to kill it themselves.
    -Dogs is just completely stupid. It's very buggy and you have to rely on the finicky AI of the dogs to not see your not very smart raidmates. Then you have to rely on their weapons being good to solo a dog and kill your dog fast enough to help their out.
    -Gauntlet is kind of too easy, but people for some reason can't wrap their hands around it.
    -Calus feels like an actual raid encounter, but the barriers in the alternate dimension can be buggy at times.
    Prestige Leviathan feels like a worthy challenge.

    I would only buy this if you loved Destiny as a franchise to accept this game's misdoings.And would wait for DLC to fix the game.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
