    The level design is amazing in D2. Several planets and the adventures on those planets felt very unique, and near Raid level quality. Theres much more vertical/platforming in this game.

    I also don't understand the hate with Microtransactions. There are plenty of games that have this feature. The items for sale have little to no impact on gameplay. Anything that would give the player an advantage is already available with plentiful amount for free, by playing.

    This game may not feel as fresh as D1, but the shooting mechanics, level design, sound design, UI enhancements, and more engaging NPCs and story make this game a blast to play.

    I look forward to sinking hundreds of hours into this.    … Expand

    I rate based on how fun a game is. I am enjoying this game and you probably will too if you liked the first one. Not sure why anyone would rate something a 0.

Overall, I'd highly recommend this game. It feels very similar, but substantially different in all the right ways.… Expand

    Destiny 2's story was way better than the vanilla story of the first Destiny. Overall it was pretty fun game. Nothing spectacular, it was good. Crucible is fun, strikes are fun to play, great new gear , new subclasses were pretty awesome. If you liked Destiny i I'm sure you'll like this one too.

    Destiny 2, compared to the original, is simply better because of the improvements that have been made not only in the campaign but also in the game's ability to introduce its story to the player. Some of the secondary activities the player can do, such as strikes, are much more in-depth and detailed. We can not forget that the addition of optional missions and the journeys in each world have diversified the "open-world" that the game presents. Personally, the most notable improvement was the satisfying gunplay that was missing on the original Destiny.

    Nevertheless, even with all these improvements that the new game presents, there has been the implementation and alteration of mechanics possibly unwanted by the community, such as the transference of secondary weapons to heavy weapons.

    We have to keep in mind that, for now, it is impossible to clarify an analysis of the game totally, since there is still content to be available to current players, such as Raid that launches on September 13, or the new PvP mode that promises to have a similar role to the Trials of Osiris.

    Note: Even though the story featured in Destiny 2 was considerably better, it still leaves something to be desired, since the mystery and seriousness of the original have been eliminated. We can say that the difficulty of the game is easier, but the time that the player has to spend to reach a high power level (270-300) is very high.

    For now, the repeatability that the game introduces to its players is vicious, just like its predecessor. We can conclude that the consumer can only hate or love the game.

    At the time this review was made, my hunter had 274 power, while my titan was 220 and my Warlock was about to end the campaign.    … Expand

    I can understand why fans of the first Destiny have complaints about this version. It seems the shoot and repeat can get very repetitive. From what I'm reading that hasn't changed much here. It seems Bungie didn't want to rock the boat too much for their hardcore fans.

    However as someone new to the game I'm very impressed with what the team did with this game. Most notably the shooting feels great. The different abilities are all very well done and are something you don't see in other shooters. I'm probably most impressed with the lighting here, especially interiors. I thought after the beta that they focused only on the first missions but the lighting looks amazing throughout. Even when playing with other players. This impressed me throughout the game. It looks incredible when players are using their flashlights in dark areas.

    For me there are less negatives and more just missed opportunities. Knowing what this team has done with the Halo franchise I'm disappointing in the lack of vehicles. The shooting feels amazing but it'd be nice to take a break and use vehicles for combat. They're used very sparingly in the campaign and then are missing from anything else I've done so far. Also, there are no flying vehicles. The fact they're using a ship to get from planet to planet you would think there would be something that could be used for combat.

    In terms of multiplayer I really like the game play and modes. I think 4v4 works well here . However, I think it would be amazing to throw in some enemy NPC's into the mix. Something similar to Titanfall. I think that would be a great blend between PVP and PVE.

    Overall the game is a ton of fun and from a technical standpoint is very impressive. The worlds are all huge and hopping between them is very fast. For the scope of this game I thought the limited load times is something all games should strive for. If you're on the fence about buying it I highly recommend the game. It's not perfect but I think it does so much right and different that it would be a shame to not give it a try.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bungie delivers Destiny 2 as an improvement of the original and to my surprise they pulled it off really well. Destiny as a whole had a solid formula for a great FPS and MMO but was executed poorly. However Destiny 2 maintained that formula but executed pretty well.

    Destiny 2 offers a rich cinematic campaign with a coherent story and tangible threat named Dominus Ghaul of the Red Legion than the supernatural entity known as the Darkness in the original Destiny. The characters are fleshed out even more and don't feel like the the cliche old boring character that gives out exposition before starting a mission. Characters such as Zavala, Ikora and Cayde were fleshed out and felt like actual characters that we can relate to. Although the campaign was more or less a very cliche story to sum it up is basically a villain comes to ruin everything and we as the hero save and defeat the villain and doesn't really have anything unique to it.

    The game adds 4 new destinations: European Dead Zone on Earth, New Pacific Arcology on one of Saturn's moon Titan, Arcadian Valley on Nessus, and Echo Mesa on one of Jupiter's moon Io. Each new destination improves on what the concept of exploration with Lost Sectors, Regional Chests, Public Events and Adventures through the open world. You can also land in specific landing zones scattered throughout the destinations maps instead of a specific location like in Patrol back in Destiny 1. However, some destinations felt kind of rushed for example Io which is by far the smallest destination in Destiny 2 and disappointing as the Pyramidion had potential to be an open world dungeon but it's just closed off and can only be accessed via the strike.

    The loot haul is more rewarding now and didn't feel like a chore at all in Destiny 2. It's by far the biggest improvement of the game. It made me want to grind more and it felt more rewarding the more i leveled up. Even at it's most grindiest the loot haul is still rewarding. It can however have the potential of people throwing their controllers as Engram drops are still random and can result in people can weapons they already own.

    Destiny 2 offers a variety of activities including Strikes, The Crucible, Public Events, Nightfall Strikes and the Raid. However the activities have problems on their own in particular loot. Loot is more rewarding and each activity does merit the same amount of loot. The problem is that some of these activities take really long to complete and are not even worth doing if their not on the milestone tab. An example of this is an incentive to due Public Events rather then Strikes as the Events are much more quicker to complete and merit the same loot when doing a Strike. Aside from this, the activities are fun in particular the raid. Raids in Destiny have always been a staple of why players play the game. They offer complex mechanics, enforce communication and teamwork to complete without offering guides within the game forcing players to do trial and error in order to learn the mechanics and rewards you immensely when completing an encounter. However you also get tokens in each encounter and these tokens are used to earn reputation from the Raid faction and earn loot via RNG. Again, this can cause some people to think the grind isn't worth it as there is a potential to get the same loot 2 times in a row. Loot for completing the raid and Loot gained via leveling up with the raid faction.

    Other negative things I like to point out is we don't get a sparrow until the end of the game despite Bungie knowing that these destinations are big. It felt like they did this to increase playtime and hours in the campaign. The only way to get a sparrow before the endgame are through bright engrams. And unfortunately my second negative concerns are the micro transactions. Shaders are now one use consumables that you can obtain. However, cool legendary shaders are locked via these Bright Engrams. Although Bright Engrams can be obtained via leveling up, they take a long time to get. It's basically like OverWatch's loot boxes. I would be fine with these engrams however they also had to add mods to these engrams. Mods are basically consumables for your weapon and armor and perform specific things if you apply them to weapons and armor. Legendary mods up weapons to 5 attack and or defense. Although not that bad, it is kind of a scumy way to enforce a pay to win system in Destiny 2 as a 5 attack and or defense can really make a difference.

    In general Destiny 2 is a major improvement of the original Destiny. Although still flawed and kind of ruined by micro transactions, the game showcased that Bungie did listen to feedback and criticism on the original Destiny and improved on the game. I recommend this game.    … Expand

    Introduction
    Destiny 2 is a fantastic and compelling game. However, it does lack somewhat in content and originality, yet it is still a massive improvement from the state of the base game of its prequel - Destiny 1 - at Launch. Destiny 2 includes thrilling cinematics during the campaign which make the sequel look like it was made on Unity by a fourteen year old. As much as it adds to and changes the franchise - such as the new game modes in crucible and the acclaimed “Adventures”, which make patrols a whole lot more enjoyable – It does feel a lot like Destiny 1, which is not a bad thing as they have used the same amazing mechanical formula to keep me coming back and Bungie have done a great job at keeping and improving so many aspects of the game, for example the grind for loot is still incredibly addictive and is more so with the new loot to be discovered and claimed. However, it is not without its faults, due to a lack of content, for example, I only ever seem to be able to play two or three strikes, making for a very repetitive grind for gear.
    Prequel
    There is no doubt that this sequel is far more enjoyable than Destiny 1 was at launch, and that is because Bungie has learnt from their mistakes. Mistakes like having an incredibly lacklustre campaign, and making the characters that we (eventually) grew to love, bland and almost pointless (I’m looking at you Mysterious Exo Stranger).Destiny 1 only grew properly during the third expansion The Taken King, and lots of new content and changing up the gameplay, bringing in many new players. Destiny 2 seems to be following in these footsteps so far, including breath-taking cinematic cut scenes, with a dash of their famous humour (mostly from fan-favourite character Cayde-6), topped off with beautiful set pieces and incredibly addictive and enjoyable gameplay. I personally believe that really one of the only negative parts that Destiny 2 has borrowed from its predecessor is an overall lack in content. Don’t get me wrong, Destiny 2 has a lot more to offer, however it still feels underwhelming when the campaign is completed in around 8 hours, and then you are dropped in to repeating the same strikes or go on the same crucible maps again and again. I just want it to be spiced up a little bit more.
    Gameplay
    Well… it’s basically Destiny 1, with a whole lot more explosions, enemies, death, fun, and more explosions. It is by far the most enjoyable game I have played in a while simply for the gameplay alone. Its simplistic use of controls mixed with the fluidity of gunplay adds up to a near perfect experience, I just wish it had more variation. I am yet to attempt the raid so bare that in mind as so far a majority of what I have done is the campaign, followed by the adventures, then grinded out crucible and strikes. It gets slightly dull after a while… Yet I’m always drawn back, back to the rewarding feel you get when you finally obtain the exotic piece of gear you’ve been searching so hard for, or when you finally have a power level high enough to attempt the nightfall and begin to grind all over again.
    Competitors
    I don’t have much to say about Destiny’s competitors as it is such a unique game that really can’t and shouldn’t be compared to another. However, if I am to compare it to other shooter giants such as Call of Duty, then I’d say that Destiny 2 is a whole lot more enjoyable, for me that is. I grew tired of COD’s mechanics that never really change, whereas Destiny and Destiny 2 are the type of games that keep me playing all night, and once I do finally get some sleep, it is with me in my dreams. I can’t escape it and I love it. I wouldn’t really call it a competitor, but it is clear that Destiny and Destiny 2 can be compared to the Halo series for the right reasons. However, this is only the case because they were both amazingly designed by Bungie, and should only be compared in how well they are doing in creating truly great games.
    Multiplayer aspects
    I’ve always loved this aspect of Destiny, because it has brought me so many enjoyable moments and new friendships. Destiny 2 does not lack in this factor, it even improves on it with guided games (matchmaking essentially) into previously only organised fireteam game modes. I believe this will bring the community a lot closer together, and will allow for almost everyone to play the end game content, which Destiny is basically made for. In addition to this, Crucible is still a massive part of Destiny 2, and is such an amazing way to play competitive PVP.
    Final Verdict
    In conclusion, Destiny 2 is an amazing game, however it lacks in content at the moment, which actually makes me look forward to the future content Bungie releases. It includes the same incredibly addictive formula of gameplay, with a few new twists in additions, I just wish it was a bit easier to reach end game without having to grind the same few activities.    … Expand

    After spending well over 50 hours in the new MMO-RPG-FPS that is Destiny 2, I decided to make a review as many people and Youtubers seem very divided on how good of a game it actually is; what it strengths and weakness's are.

    For one, let me just say that Bungie has chosen 3 very different genres to turn into a game, and many people choose to only like one of these. A very common example would be comparing a Call of Duty player to a World of Warcraft player, where Call of duty is a very fast paced game with relatively simple concepts, you hold a trigger to shoot, a joy stick to move around and press it down to sprint. World of Warcraft is almost the polar opposite, with dozens of abilities to use, one giant map, and more items than there are hairs on your head. So, when you combine these two things, it doesn't always turn out the way you want it to, leading to a lot of mixed reviews. As of what I've noticed so far, it seems that Youtube critics seem to dislike the game, while Internet reviewers seem to think it's great. Personally, I think it's a good, but not great game that suffers from some issues that could be easily fixed.

    GAMEPLAY-

    Destiny 2's gameplay is a mixed bag to say the least. it functions like most First Person
    shooters should with strong MMO elements tagging along. One thing the game does great is showing a good visual progression of your guardian. What I mean by this is that when you first get to "The Farm", you look pretty beat up and are limited to a couple of weapons, but by the end, you find yourself looking like a cooler version of Batman, with many Guns and Subclasses to Impress your friends with (or just look cool in).
    As for actual gameplay, it's a little weak, and can sometimes seem a little bland. I picked the hunter class, so I'm sort of used to just shooting my gun and knifing in between long ability and grenade cooldowns. When you fight enemies, they don't put up much of a fight, either. Often I will find myself wondering when the fight will be over while i'm either fighting millions of waves of enemies, or am fighting a boss with millions of health. One thing that really gets on my nerves is the fact that hip firing does less damage than aiming down sights. I found this to a not only bad feature, but also completely pointless one, by doing this, the game is punishing you for making hitting enemies more of a challenge.

    STORY-
    I'll keep it brief, but destiny 2's story, sucks. While it may have been better than Destiny, I still found it quite uninteresting and hard to follow. A very brief summary would be that everything is normal on earth, until, one day a red legion full of fat dudes resembling grunts from Halo decide to take over the traveler, and strip everyone of their superpowers, until one day you suddenly are drawn to a shard of the traveler that's broken off but still works and gives you superpowers again. Zavala, a fallen gaurdian, then, instead of getting superpowers from the same place, turns you into his slave and has you do all of his **** for him, including saving literally everyone in the solar system. FIN.

    PVP-
    I actually quite liked pvp in destiny 2 and found it to be my favorite part of the game, it functioned a lot better than the original and unlike a lot of games nowadays, you feel like you actually help your team by doing good. Ultimates in this game aren't overpowered, and you aren't faced against them too often. They also only come once or twice a game, causing many players to use them at ideal times, rather than right away. Power ammo could be a bit better. They have a map spawning system rather than earning it, so it can get quite annoying dealing with campers, or teamates alike.

    So that's my review for destiny 2, a good game that suffers from a couple issues that could be fixed, but otherwise fun,    … Expand

    First time playing through the full game, as I don't like using controllers for shooters. This game looks amazing on PC. The colors are brighter, and the textures are crisper. The depth of field is better, so you can see see more of the game world. sound is good. For example, if I fire an auto rifle in a canyon, there is reverb. Very nice.

    Let's be real, though, this aint Witcher 3 levels of detail, but its nicer than console. By a mile.

    The story is the usual, "The world will end unless you help" fair, but it's competent enough to be interesting the first time I played through. Good voice work, too. Wish there was more of it.

    Communicating ingame is harder than it needs to be, but things like Discord solve that. It needs matchmaking for Nightfall, and the like,but I assume that is coming later. The public events are fun. The Raid is really hard the first time, requiring patience and good communication with your fire team.

    Nice visuals, fun gameplay, lots of different activities, open world (with enough exploration to do), full coop with friends

    Cons (personal opinion):
    Progression is too fast (needs more grinding to feel more rewarding), storyline is a bit bland, could use more subclasses/builds/weapon types

    Wishlist:
    third person, a crafting system and/or randomly-generated gear, procedurally generated dungeons    … Expand

    It’s sorta fun. The story was not mindblowing, but it’s fun, the gameplay is pretty good, it looks pretty nice, it’s sorta what you can expect it to be but I get a strong sense that the initial game should be as long as it probably would be including all DLC so far.

We play mainly in custom matches and rarely go to a public match. This is one great game to enjoy with friends.. well any game is fun as long as you play with friends.… Expand

    Super Spiel leider ist die Story nicht besonders anspruchsvoll.Ich empfehle die DLCs zu kaufen um das Paket abzurunden.

    Destiny 2, even with its bad story, still has a lot to offer. A great soundtrack, stunning world and visuals, a good loot system and fun gameplay.

    Destiny 2, for the first year, was horrible. Simply horrible. Now, it's in a good place. While the lore has been massively altered, the mechanics are better.

    Great game story isn’t anything special but this game excels in it gun play and mix of special ability’s if you are gamer that needs a game to play where you can eat up hours and be enjoying yourself while playing this is the game for u (loads of content)

    In the current state of the game, and overall im enjoying it a lot. Content is fun, drip feed is ok. But it is very repetitive at times and can lead to a lot of boredom. To experience most of the game you have to pay for the season pass each month since that’s where all the content is. If your not paying for dlc and season pass then you won’t have a good time. But don’t get me wrong. EvenIn the current state of the game, and overall im enjoying it a lot. Content is fun, drip feed is ok. But it is very repetitive at times and can lead to a lot of boredom.

    Weapon design in both aesthetics and variety is executed really well. i can see it being a turn off for some people but I like the way the meta is adjusted each season to keep the game exciting and forces variety of play.    … Expand

    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.
