    Haters gonna hate. This is an incredible FPS title. Groundbreaking in how they have executed such a big world with attention and care. Everything missing from Destiny 1 is in here. Beautiful title. If you like FPS get this game!

    What is with these losers giving this game bad scores? The first Destiny was great, needed work with the story, but they fixed that with some amazing DLC. Bungie has improved this game in EVERY AREA. they obviously listened to the fans and gave us a great story this time. So now people are being cry babies over microtransactions that you don't need to buy

    Those user ratings here are a sign of how pathetic gamers have become these days. Bungie has delivered a sequel which improves in every aspect on the original game.

    This site is garbage. Either a 10 or a 0 review from the majority. A 10 (best thing ever made on earth) or a 0 (no merits, not even the music is good, the graphics are not pretty, the art is not nice, the animations are not good).

    This game has glorious and beautiful textures and graphics. Even if the game was horrible, the graphics, art, and music alone would have to give it anything above a ZERO.

    Garbage site.

    I AM GIVING THIS GAME A 10 IN PROTEST TO THE ZEROS. Want to know another reason I am giving the game a 10? This is personally, the best game I have ever played in my entire life. It is all consuming to my soul in a way no other game has ever been. I have been playing game since the Atari 7200. I have played all the amazing classics when they were NEW and FRESH, not on some emulator years later, but when the music and graphics of those classics were cutting edge and amazing.

    This is the best game I have ever played in my life. I am so happy this game exists. It makes my life better.

    GO BUY DESTINY 2, BUY IT FOR YOUR FRIENDS WHO CANNOT AFFORD IT AND PLAY IT WITH THEM TOO. START A CLAN, PLAY PLAY PLAY. BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED IN MY LIFE.

    Buy the soundtrack, AMAZING!!!

    Honestly, some of the bad reviews are just too hilarious. I give them a 10/10 and a solid 8.5 to the game. Yes the shaders can be annoying, but the game is really fun overall and the experience with the entertainment I've had is worth it.

    If you liked what The Taken King had to offer then Destiny 2 will fulfill those same exciting feelings. Please overlook the bashing of the second game because the first one didn't live up to expectations at launch, because that's what this game deserves. Awesome combat and gun handling, re-visioned explorable areas, and finally a decent story to go along with it.

Destiny as a franchise caters to many different audiences and it's remarkable how it doesn't let any of them down, both with loot whores, PvP'ers, and lore hounds.
    I've played about 40 hours so far and I highly recommend it.
    I'd give this game an 8, but due to the enormous amount of bashing based on consumers expecting Halo and getting Diablo 3 or any end-game MMO but with guns instead, I'll try to fix the user score by giving it 10.

    Great game, Makes Destiny 1 look like a mistake, D2 is what bungie was looking for the whole time. Incredible story with fantastic storybeats and music scores. Campaign is a bit short in my opinion but there is far more to do in D2 then D1 + expanisons combined so ill be happy for a long time.

    A wonderful evolution in Bungie's shared-world FPS MMO universe!

    This sequel is bigger, brighter and bolder in every way and evolves the original in all directions. Deeper storylines with new longer side quests and adventures are polished off with beautiful cinematics and a rousing soundtrack to hit new heights of Sci-Fi space opera.

    The game mechanics have been developed a lot further and enhanced with a superb user interface and visual design that is a joy to play within. The 3 years of development for the original has informed this new game engine and it is absolutely joyous to explore and lose yourself in this incredible world.

    The myriad collection of gameplay styles to tackle is amazing - from planetary patrol missions, to pure environmental exploration, team based strikes & raids, secret weapon quests and lore based adventures to all out multiplayer warfare there's something for whatever mood you're in and you are always earning or upgrading something on your character.

    Bungie's exceptional talent for creating amazing environments simply gets better every year. This is simply the best online shooter on console and essential for every gamer to try. Definitely my Game of the Year and I can't wait to jump into the future expansions.

    Bravo Bungie you knocked it out of the stratosphere!

    D2 does a great job updating the graphics and making the game more accessible to old and new players. I love the fast travel and presentation of the campaign. Graphics are a nice upgrade and new planets look fantastic! Servers worked well, I played for 10 hours straight with no problems with friends!! Very solid game with so much to do and enough new changes to make it feel fresh.

    Destiny 2 is a fresh take on the "Destiny" universe. They improved everything from last game. Better story, better progression, better gameplay. Plus they took out the really annoying parts and made things more convenient. Like expected, there are a few things that will need to be tweaked in the upcoming weeks, but it's clear that Bungie has been working really hard and listening to their fans.

    Forget about the overly negative scores, or you will be missing out on a great FPS. I'm playing this as a SP and it is way better in every sense than its broken predecessor. Its fun, its addictive (in a postive way), it rewards your playtime and it is a visual and orchetral marvel. Dont miss out - see you in the EDZ, guardian!

    Smooth gun play, good soundtrack with some truly breathtaking masterpieces and nice graphics. If you're a fan of D1 you're going to like this. My biggest gripe with the title is the vast amount of recycled content – I kinda wish that Bungee would've been more ballsy with the reforms and improvements.

It's above average, it's a good game and it pulled a TItanfall 2 where it improved in the sequel.

    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.
