    Don't listen to those who are saying there's not a lot of content here. There is a ton of new content in this game.

The story telling is vastly improved, both in the new cutscenes (of which there are a lot) and in the voice acting. Nathan Fillion and Nolan North provide great dialogue, which is funny on many occasions. Expand

    Literally the greatest video game ever made. A true masterpiece in every sense of the word. Destiny makes other developers look like they aren't even trying

    I first played Destiny on first release of year 1, played for about 6 months and have to admit started to lose interest. TTK completely renewed my love of the game. Whilst I understand some of the criticism around Bungie and greedy cash grabbing I must say for the amount of time I've played both year 1 and year 2 I have had excellent value.

The game play is incredible, and although I'm not a particularly brilliant player I absolutely love the PVP. I would prefer better matchmaking, I don't have many friends that play and I think it would really benefit for a looking for group option. If you like both the PVE story side, and the PVP you will get months of gaming out of this. Great game hopeful that the new DLC will bring even more depth Expand

    Huge step in the right direction. Bought the expansion cause of the good word of mouth even though I hated the base game. But I ended up getting an completely new viewpoint on this game! Could not stop playing it for months. It’s basically how the base game should’ve been. The 3 new subclasses were intriguing, the raid was addicting and adding infusion made loot become way more interestingHuge step in the right direction.

It’s basically how the base game should’ve been. The 3 new subclasses were intriguing, the raid was addicting and adding infusion made loot become way more interesting (because of the fact that you could make your favorite gun/gear even stronger). Adding new strikes, missions and stuff to the crucible made this game responsible for the electric bills becoming expensive... Expand

    Fun PvP, decent campaign, fun raids. So much grind but it felt good. Some people hated this game but it was a great time sink and a lot of fun

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't believe many people have many very crazy reasons to hate this game. I am not going to say more words than I did say about what other people think about this game. The campaign may be short but the game is fun even during the time when this DLC came out. There may not be in-game chat but this is not a bad thing at all and there does not have to be such feature for a game to be a MMO. Oh, I never see many people in a patrol server. This game should be known as an FPS game. Expand

    The Taken King is a fantastic follow up to the original Destiny and made it 10x better with better graphics, an excellent story, intriguing characters, and overall a fantastic expansion to Destiny that was actually great.

    The Taken King shows off Destiny's full potential. This is a must have.

    The Taken King addition corrects majority of errors that Destiny had from the beginning and finally brings a larger portion of the story and lot of new content to explore. [Issue#258]

    For the first time, Destiny feels like it’s complete. It’s not perfect, far from it in fact, and I still can’t entirely disagree when they speak of the package itself as bad. But I’ve also been unable to put it down for the past month I’ve played it.
