Jul 23, 2025Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate isn’t the worst expansion the looter shooter’s been given, but it’s a major step back from The Final Shape in almost every regard, mixing content that’s simply more of the same with a few experiments here and there that don’t always work out. I quite enjoyed the surprising new direction of the story, though it’s definitely a bit of a slog getting through the campaign to see it all, and a so-so raid doesn’t do much to salvage it. The new abilities on Kepler are at least interesting ideas, but the forgettable and claustrophobic areas don’t offer many reasons to stick around. The changes to endgame progression are the real poison pill though, which turn an already grindy game into an absurdly repetitive death march into the bowels of Destiny hell that is sure to put even the loyalty of hardcore players like me to the test. There are worse ways to spend your time than playing The Edge of Fate, but you don’t have to look very hard to find better ones.

Aug 11, 2025In this brave new world of Destiny, a new saga begins, and major shifts and changes alter the very systems on which the Guardians stand and progress. Unfortunately, these are changes I’m going to have to sit out until they get dialed in over the coming weeks and months. This game has been a constant in my rotation for nearly 10 years. But it now demands time that I just don’t have to give, offers rewards that aren’t worth the heavy investment, and promises to reset the clock and devalue that commitment every six months. The shooter part of Destiny is still excellent, but I’ll check back in December and see if they’ve worked out the looter bit.
