    Same old regurgitated pve full of bugs and pvp is horrible. No logic to matchmaking whatsoever. Pvp is a joke and total waste of time. They should be ashamed and embarrassed. Bungie has turned out to be one of the greediest developers ever. Players are continually used as beta testers, virtually every aspect of the game is bugged. Launch was horrible.

Launch was horrible. This game should have been included with the previous release which should have been included in the previous before that. Literally the same bugs as season 1 two years later. If you have purchased every aspect of the game you’ve paid $200 and it’s not worth $10. The only ppl who like it are hardcore fans of the series. This game can not hold a candle to better developed games. Don’t waste your money and stay away from this toxic franchise and community… Expand

    Thats just little to no story at all. Just 2 Cutscenes and the rest of the missions is just not worth talking about. Forsaken was so great (storywise) but this is totally not a story expansion for me...

    Its the same game the only thing it adds is a very very very short mission and few maps.
    It is a disappointment for me. I GAVE IT A 2 BECAUSE YOU ONLY GET ABOUT 20% MORE GAMEPLAY

    Missed potential. Game does have bright spots. They do a good job with making sure there is lots to do. Lots of content that makes sure you're kept busy. the game really shines in certain areas.... the dungeons are fantastic for instance, as are other co-op missions like strikes.

    There are a few things about the game though, that simply take away from the good. 2 of these are PVP, and    Missed potential. Game does have bright spots.

    There are a few things about the game though, that simply take away from the good. 2 of these are PVP, and light level.

    First, PVP: I wholeheartedly agree with the review by mc user blackhats who wrote, "No logic to matchmaking whatsoever"...

    Quite honestly the pvp is just horrible. The sad part about this...to acheive certain goals, bungie makes it that you MUST play crucible.

    So, if you want the pot at the end of the rainbow, you're going to need to suffer through brutal matchmaking that is not at all intuitive, and your assured to be matched on the losing team 4 or 5 times to 1 win.

    Moving on to light level, there only appears to be 1 benefit to leveling up your light level. That is, to be able to play an activity that requires a certain light level... so, for example if you want to play a Nightfall that has a recommended light level of 1000, then yes.... there's a benefit to leveling up to 1000.... but that's about where all the benefits of leveling up stop.

    You can spend many hours leveling up to 1050, but then....go do that dungeon that has a recommended light level of ONLY 750....You die just as often and your weapons do no more damage than when you were 850, 900, or 1000 ?

    There should be a performance difference between 900 & 1000....even if its slight... i understand you dont want the game to be "too easy"...but there has to be a reward for putting in your time and leveling up....    … Expand

    Destiny 2 is still easily one of the best shooters on Xbox One. Taken as a whole, its eclectic blend of strikes, night-devouring raids, and exhilarating PvP action outguns most of the competition with ease. As for Shadowkeep, despite some welcome additions, its reheated campaign reeks of a rush job that needed a bit more cooking time. [Issue#184, p.88]

    Shadowkeep impressed me much less than Forsaken. I hoped that after parting ways with Activision Blizzard Bungie will be more ambitious than to mostly recycle the content we already know. [12/2019, p.76]

    The hive are a bit spikier and the buildings are covered in Fallen graffiti, and it has to be said that the Moon is more decrepit and crumbling and new areas have been added, but when it comes down to it things are not so much new as buffed up and rolled in a bit of glitter.
