    Destiny 1.5 mega DLC priced as new game. Delivered a nice campaign but your speechless guardian ruins the entire story and makes you look retarded. The reuse of guns, enemies, sounds, etc is so ridiculously obvious. Fan boys and new fans will love it, everybody else who has played the first one and is a bit critical will hate it.

    The game is at its best when you play with friends. The visuals are to die for and if you are into loot the game has expanded greatly on the loot table. Also, the guns feel more real with better kick back and sound.

    Same old same old. Destiny DLC nothing more. Usual enemies on repeat for those mugs who can't see through the loot lust mechanics Bungie have on repeat again. Where's the decent content? It's only unlockable after you put 50 hours in on repeat. Being traded straight away

    Great sequel, yes i do wish they could've pushed the envelope a little more. but man is this an improvement over Destiny 1. Keeps everything that was great about it while removing most what was bad about it, and then adding things which make it amazing.

    Don't listen to the haters.

    Just to be upfront here: I did NOT play Destiny 1. At the time when it came out I was immersed in other games and other MMO's. The abundant amount of negative press the title garnered also didn't help. So when I say I enjoy this title, more than I thought I would I want it to be clear:

    -I had no prior experience with the 1st game -I am looking at the game with fresh eyes Even so,    Just to be upfront here: I did NOT play Destiny 1. At the time when it came out I was immersed in other games and other MMO's. The abundant amount of negative press the title garnered also didn't help. So when I say I enjoy this title, more than I thought I would I want it to be clear:

    -I had no prior experience with the 1st game
    -I am looking at the game with fresh eyes

    Even so, things Bungie did that has anger the player base has made it to my ears (the one use shaders thing.) Which even outside the realm of the title and my "newness" to the franchise is a crappy thing to do, even moreso when it was an unlimited use item in the prior title.

    With that being said, D2 is solid, better than I thought it would be. 1st impression I got the moment I started was: alright....so this is Halo. That's not a bad thing, but Bungie really...you could have strayed a tad bit away from Halo. the hive is the flood, the fallen are the covenant. Hell, the big bad guy is just a Super Brute!

    Shooting is super tight. I'm in no way amazing at shooters, but man, is combat solid. Gun choices are really good, but just miss the mark of being amazing. Maybe this is better at endgame (as of this writing i'm maybe a tad shy of the halfway point), but I found some great and some garbage (I hate any type of pistol. I ignore them, even if they are a massive damage increase. The recoil is crap mostly).

    Missions feel organic as do public quests...though the latter have little diversification. Once you do one, it's the same thing over and over. Still, they feel frenetic enough to keep the fight fresh.

    The story....is interesting. The one thing I heard about the 1st title was how crap the narrative was. Well so far i'm fine with it. It's no pulitzer, but it is far from being dull. I genuinely feel like a hero fighting back against a universal threat though not just gameplay alone; the story supports it, thus making it all the sweeter as you fight the red war.

    The music is sweeping and epic which makes both combat and the story reach higher levels than if they might have developed either thing alone (working harder on the story or the combat). Instead the soundtrack passively makes BOTH that much better.

    As for classes, I went with the Warlock. Can't say much other than the builds at this point (as of this writing i'm only lvl 12) don't make that big of a deal. The dawnblade feels like just an elongated grenade (about 3 seconds longer than the one you have). It's a CD ability that can hurt lots of targets, but that's about it. What makes combat any different than the Voidwalker or stormcaller other than the CD. The talents in each subclasses tree are more or less the same thing for ALL of the specs, it's just the super that really is any different. Subclasses seem more "passive" than being "active." The other classes seem to be the same thing from what i've read.

    I have just one concern and that is the accessibility of endgame content for the solo players. I, like many, don't really want to join guilds and do strikeforce-like content (be online for this event and such-and-such time). I love big event fights though, like a raid or dungeons but not ones that demand hours and hours of time per week to complete. Sure an hour or 2 to do is fine, but 6? Must it be with a group of people that always work together? For me, that isn't fun or frankly what I think of as a good use of my time, not when I can obtain gear and content at my leisure other ways. I don't dislike working with others....I just hate the old and played-out long form grindfest raid system that every MMO employs. I don't want super easy either, not something that equates to a bullet sponge loot pinata; just something in the middle.

    Other than that, I have no real complaints. The game looks great, plays great and seems well put together. Had I played the 1st one, I would most likely had more to take issue with. For a new player, it's worth your time to jump in. If you were expecting Halo....you're getting it...just with a different skin.

    Update: After "endgame" playing....there is little reason to continue. Strikes are fine and within the aesthetic of rest of the game (war of attrition to victory) as is the crucible. The place where actual gear is (nightfall strikes and raid) make the same mistake every single MMO does: funnel content into a bit-sized area antithetical to the product it is.

    Why ALL of the gear/content/progression is shoved into this teeny-tiny portion of the product is beyond me. Couple that with inane timers in Nightfalls and a 6HOUR raid is astonishingly dumb. The game is a world shooter with a few single player instanced challenges, but those are vastly outweighed by random group, undisciplined skirmishes. Why condition people for this, only to stick the best stuff behind tight/focused/strike force battles that unlike EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE GAME?

    It's no wonder people rag on this game.    … Expand

    My only real gripe is the infusion system. i'm not a fan of only infusing with the same weapon type. This has made it harder to use the weapons i like. But overall i cant stop playing and i cannot wait to see what is still to come.    … Expand

    Human beings, in general, never cease to amaze. This game is great and will only get better.

    I carefully picked through the 'reviews' on those that gave the game a 0 or 1 rating and you can tell they haven't actually bought the game and probably haven't played it either. Haters gonna hate. One reviewer admits to coming to his conclusion from watching You Tube. Seriously?! Another said he hated Destiny 1 and this is the same crap. Well why buy Destiny 2 if you didn't like Destiny 1?

    Don't believe the low scores as clearly, they must have their own sad reason and motivation for giving them, but they are just untrue, unreal and unfair. Game designers must despair when people exist solely to give out zero scores.

    The game is a lot of fun and I can't wait to get back to it (I'm on business away from home right now and am missing playing it). I liked Destiny 1 a lot and this is much better, a lot more than just DLC which some claim. Some people are whining about the micro-transactions - then don't pay them; you can still play.

    To the immature people that reviewed it as a 0 or 1, grow up. You clearly had no intention of giving it anything else. If you cannot be objective in giving your opinion, then it means nothing to us and so who is going to give any credit to a 0 score? Just makes you as the reviewer, look pathetic.    … Expand

    So sad. Just another mindless graphics fest, with rehashed concept and substance. Also, comes complete with glitches and issues. Thought Bungie was above this, but sadly, seems all game developers are falling to wayside of the bum. Lazy, uninspired, lack of attention to detail, lack of QA, etc. As long as people keep supporting these games by buying, you'll keep getting ripped off with junk.

    There's about 8 hours of campaign and then you get to spend eternity running the same 3 strikes over and over, it's Destiny with less content, better graphics, and microtransactions nothing has changed and I'm sure the DLC will be just as disappointing as they were in the original destiny.

Destiny still fails to identify it it wants to be a Call of Duty or an MMORPG. Some pros and cons

    Pros:
    - They got rid of those ridiculous scout missions and put in actual side missions that make more sense. That was long overdue.
    -People may rail against it, but I actually like the silent protagonist. The original character had no character or personality whatsoever and didn't feel like a good representation of me (especially since I created them).
    -The story while still meh is still the best one since TTK without a doubt.
    -The graphics are still beautiful (as they should be in a AAA game of this cost)
    -The NPCs seem to have a bit more personality in the banter of the quests. Make is not seem so vapid.
    -Super easy to level up (too super easy)

    Cons:
    -Bungie hit it out of the park when they added a sword in the TTK expansion. I would have loved to see them build on that with adding more melee weapons like a power axe, daggers, or something like that. A bow and arrow added to the weapons cache of the game would have been awesome. Instead the re-relegated the weapons system to the same old pistol, rifle, shotgun and you can only use a sword with the power up ability.
    -While they added side missions, I would have like to see them go somewhere with them. They end as soon as they start and are about as superficial as your average fetch quest in an MMORPG.
    -The global events are the exact same as Destiny 1 except in more frequency.

    Biggest con:

    -Building off what was said earlier, I don't get what Destiny is trying to be. Its formula makes no sense. It has less content than your average open world game, yet tries to make everything seem so social and open. Its an MMO with barriers (which is dumbfounding). With most MMOs (doesn't have to be RPGs) you have a wealth of content that you can spend your time doing even if it is mediocre. There is so much that Destiny could offer. I realize they are trying to make money, but still. How about a real crafting system for weapons and armor? How about battalions (guilds) instead of randomly being matched with someone you'll never meet again? As I stated earlier, how about an expansion of the weapons rather than just pistol, rifle, shotgun, grenade launcher? More raids? Longer side missions? More planets (its the future, even No Man's Sky got that right)? Different enemies? Long strikes? More of a sense of danger (Seriously, I never get worried in a fire-fight. There is a wealth of ammo everywhere)? Monthly events (and I mean real events).

    It just really seems like Bungie is going out of its way to make the smallest product that they can, hype it up, watch the money rake in, and pocket the money off the game and the $500 million loan. There are some basic things even the most superficial of gamers could ask for that would be a good idea, but Bungie seems content with just limiting itself which is sad honestly because this game has the map to be something amazing. It just isn't being done.    … Expand

The trolls describe this as a dlc, but if you think back to Taken King, you got around 4 main missions and a few extras, such as a new raid, and a few other items. This game is a full blown, completed experience. 4 brand new planets, great campaign, strikes, raids, crucible, adventures, lost sectors, high value targets, patrols...you would never get all that in a dlc. ever. Unless you are CD Project Red.

    Campaign is great. Opening mission is phenomenal, including your rise to power again after the fall. The final few missions are also unbelievable. The middle parts of the campaign are great too but don't quite reach the heights of those bookmarks.

    I really don't understand all the negative reviews for this game.

Anyways, because this is a sequel if you did not enjoy Destiny 1 then you will probably not enjoy this game. It is the exact same concept, but many things have improved. Almost every story mission has a cutscence which adds more lore and information that Destiny 1 was lacking, otherwise the story missions are more interesting and keep you going during the more boring fighting periods. Instead of the old boring patrols of Destiny 1 Bungie has added a new way of fun patrols. There is travel points in each planet for faster ways to get to adventures, story missions, public events, etc. The patorling is more fun and less time riding around on your sparrow. Most of the weapons have stayed the same, but there is a new change where you have a "kinetic" primary and a "energy" primary weapon and a "power" weapon which is the Destiny 1 secondarys and heavy weapons. This adds a fun new way of allowing a long range primary and a short range primary with a fun strong power weapon. Yes this game is similar to destiny 1 because it is a sequel. Thanks for reading my review :D… Expand

Destiny 2 is smooth and precise in most of what it does, it just regularly does those things without a lot of true feeling - most of the campaign felt numb despite the dire situation that humanity is put in. I don't know why Destiny 2 falls short of expectations as the fanbase has been very vocal about what they (we) want out of the sequel, which arguably came too soon. This is a very shallow RPG at-best so it's really all on the shooter side of things that the game makes its hay, and it occasionally does. There's an outline of a great game here. It plays like one, it looks like one, but it never feels like one. Destiny 2, like Destiny, is fairly hollow. Had it not been for The Taken King, I think Destiny would have been abandoned long ago. Perhaps quality DLC can save what is arguably the briefest narrative and weakest RPG experience of AAA gaming in history (that's subject to debate, but I'm mad at this game so I'm gunning for it right now), but why the heck do we need DLC to save a game? Is it because it's under the Activision umbrella? Who knows, it's just not that good.… Expand

    I just finished the free trial. Combat is fun but there is no story. As a player new to the franchise, I had no idea what the storyline was. I figured I pick it up as I went along, but I never did get a sense of being involved with any characters or any ultimate goal. My favorite new release to date is Zero Dawn.

First, it's difficulty level through most of the game is such that though you can explore using strategy, you can get by without using it - so basically you can go in with a weapon you're best at and comfortable with, shoot 'em up, and if you're hurt go hide for a little bit, come back out, and repeat. Second, and this may not be a factor for most of you, but the Trophies are lacking. The only trophies there are are gold and silver for endgame content and that's it. I enjoy trophies especially in a game like this because it gives extra incentives and goals to aim for outside of the game and getting these isn't too difficult.

    The soundtrack (which is by far my favorite aspect of the game) is so stellar it’s jarring. The audio in general (from guns to a planet’s ambient soundscape) is immersive and suiting.

    The various environments are enchanting yet properly exhibit the magnitude of an enormous sci-fi war. Most “skyboxes” look glorious, though extensively littering the playable sandbox with innumerable crates/boxes and foliage still does not successfully hide how barren it can sometimes feel. Regardless, the landscape is a considerable improvement over vanilla Destiny.

    Level design is, overall, an upgrade from the first Destiny; although it still could use some renovations – objective routes could be even clearer, and, in my opinion, arenas could be even more interactive (this includes player controlled hazards/vehicles/turrets/environmental platforms) and further optimized to fully utilize a guardian’s abilities/mobility (more scenic parkour/platforming segments).

    Nearly all instances of voice acting matched the persona of their characters and was delivered quite well (looking at you Nathan Fillion).

    Gunplay, which is nearly completely identical to the first Destiny, is topnotch. Responsive, intuitive, and visually appealing (with respects to controller capabilities); it shines with a AAA polish.

    Negatives:
    The enemy A.I. is appalling. Perhaps the game’s MMO element creates a bit of lag inhibiting their awareness, or maybe they were designed to be extra passive as to make players feel super stealthy, but repetitively dancing a few inches behind them really makes me feel as though they aren’t really the threat that the story tries to convince me of. The pathing is equally horrendous (watching 100+ enemies funneling through a tight corridor to seemingly blind fire worse than bad guys from a Schwarzenegger film made me feel both humored and disappointed). The impression of engagements was anything but engaging.

    Post Taken King, most developments of “core gameplay” in Destiny’s sequel seemed fairly minimal. Really should expect more with a $60 price tag (as opposed to cheaper DLC) – particularly because there was certainly room for notable improvement (even from a creative standpoint, like completely new alternative classes).

    I did not find the “grind” too enjoyable. The monotony of easily slaying abysmal A.I. became a killjoy, especially after completing the story missions. Though the recent raid was fun, it came a bit late, and was not nearly a good enough payoff for the hours it took plowing through the same public events whilst praying to the RNGod’s for something beneficial. The threat of boredom is tenfold to solo players.

    The writing, from the plot to the dialogue, was unoriginal, tacky, and meek. I would assume most are content that there is at least an attempt at a story in Destiny 2 since there was an obvious lack of one in the first, but that doesn’t excuse how meager it is— being relatively better (story wise) does not inherently make it good. I’ve read plenty of free fan stories and theories discussing the Destiny universe that were leagues better than the oversimplified clichéd nothingness we paid for.

    Narrow F.O.V. 30 FPS. (Console capabilities really do hurt the potential experience in this regard).

    Various bugs (i.e. invisible enemies/players)/glitches/crashes.

    Aesthetically, endgame characters never really looked as “cool” as I wanted them to (nor as they probably could be) even with the shaders. I often felt various enemies looked much better than I ever could.

    Microtransactions/Consumable shaders. Greedy, unnecessary, and ultimately makes some consumers feel skeptical of being treated wallet-friendly by Bungie/Activision in the future.

    Story was much too short (took me 4.5/5ish hours casually). I’m expecting expensive DLC to satisfy that shortcoming.

    I would’ve liked to have experienced a newer and wider assortment of enemies/bosses.

    On PVP: some gun balancing issues, p2p is suboptimal, I’m not sure why 6v6 had to be dropped (even as an option) entirely, and arenas could be enhanced artistically (perhaps even redesigned for better combat flow).

    Conclusion: I was absolutely looking forward to purchasing this game on PC (despite my better judgment). Now I could care less, the console copy is enough.    … Expand

    You are effectively buying Destiny 1 with less content and nerfed/balanced guns.
    There is Microtransaction but to be fair Bungie put nothing of value on there except fireteam medallions which can be earned for free.

    Basically the main theme of Destiny 1 was how to gate content because of the voracious speed that players consume content. The same holds true in Destiny 2. All the enemies are the same as in the first Destiny. You have a game with excellent gameplay but no system to incentivize playing the game beyond the weeklies.

    It's addictive and I love it... but the single use shaders is kind of a pain.

    Also, the raid is pretty brutal in my opinion. It's heavily mechanics based and although the recommended power level is 260 that's way off. If you check bungie.net and try to find random people to raid with then most won't take you unless you're in the 290's, equipped with the right and gear and know what you're doing. It's really not a friendly or inviting game mode and generates a lot of frustration because you can't carry players. Everyone has a key role to play at all times.

    Destiny 2 is a great game. Story is short and very predictable, but works fine. But I still think that Raids and Nightfall's are the main reason to play this game. They have a lot of challenge and need very solid teamwork to get through.

And grinding same type of missions is sometimes frustrating because all you need is luck to get better gear, hardly based on skill at all - except Nightfall's and Raids but luck is also present there.

    OK, so I've had enough time with this game to write a review. Look, just get it. It has a brilliant and beautiful campaign and hours upon hours of endgame content. And that's just the PvE. The PvP is slower than the original, and benefits hugely from it. It feels a lot more tactical and satisfying than the original. A huge improvement and a worthy sequel.

    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

The amount of quality of life improvements is enough to keep you coming back for more.

    It seems that all the low reviews are complaining about micro-transactions and calling it pay to win have not played this game. The micro-transaction items are shaders, sparrows, and weapon ornaments. Nothing that you can buy with real money is going to give you an advantage in the game. Anything that can be bought with real money can be earned in the game and again, it's only cosmetic items.    … Expand

Fast forward to Destiny 2, and once again, it started off very strong. The storyline is a huge step forward from the first game, with beautiful worlds and some interesting story missions. However, after probably 30-50 hours of grinding to light level 280, it hit me: I'm not having much fun anymore. I almost feel burnt out by the grindy mechanics with this game. After maybe 2 months, I put the game down and moved onto other games. Plus, the expansion of the microtransaction system from the first game is not a welcome addition and while it is mostly cosmetic only, its setting a bad precedent for the future of gaming. In short, Destiny 2 had the potential to revitalize the franchise but it ends up falling short by being too similar to the first game.… Expand

    I would believe ANY major developer in this day and age would understand this is a poor way to do business.

    I fully understand locking new maps, skins, and missions behind a paywall, I understand the developer desire to make money but a game should NEVER lock abilities and weapons that other real life people can Lord over you behind a pay wall, it is not a fair process.

    Bungie allows people who pay extra to get devastating weapons like Dead Man's Tale that can easily kill and frustrated players who do not desire or are unable to pay for this upgrade.

    They also add inherent class abilities available to anyone who pays, such as in The Beyond Light expansion with the ability to completely freeze other players.

    Not being able to move AT ALL is a huge advantage and makes the game unplayable. It's frustrating to have such huge disadvantages ADDED to the base game which can not be overcome unless you pay more money. If you have already paid money for Destiny 2, you should not be forced to pay more to compete effectively.

    Either every PVP player should get all new the abilities and have the potential to access all new weapons, OR players should only play with people with the same abilities and weapons, OR give us our money back.

    I can no longer play comfortably as I could when I originally bought the game, and changing the effectiveness of people who pay to make it easier for them and harder for those who don't is a very fraudulent and reprehensible act.    … Expand

    Rereviewing now that I've spent some time with it - in the end, Destiny 2 is just boring. I think 1 was fun despite it's flaws, and then it kept getting different with each update, which created a fun dynamic of discovery.

    - graphics are great

    I prefer first person to third person so I preferred that game to The Division.
    But I think both games lack some elements to become successful.
    To be relevant, this game would have needed a better and longer story and a more refined PVP or some interesting/challenging end game things to do.
    For now, it's just yet another shooter.    … Expand

    It's remarkable the difference a coherent plot makes. Gameplay wise Destiny 2 is not much different to Destiny 1 (which is not a bad thing as the gunplay was great) but it now feels like it has some form of direction and a world that makes more sense.

They're not quite game breaking but their inclusion isn't particularly welcome.

    Long story short, if you didn't like how Destiny 1 played then Destiny 2 won't change your mind, but the sequel elevates some of the frustrations of the original (namely it's underwhelming plot and setting) and gives you plenty more interesting things to do.    … Expand

    Its a AAA first person shooter MMO, that manages to have dumb AI, A very dumbed down UI and a story that makes Wolfenstien look Shakespearean. Systems have been designed to treat the player as some kind of cash point for the publisher. The gun play feels great, but this is the last time I buy a game made by Bungie.

    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.
