Destiny 2: The Final Shape Reviews
After the missteps in previous years and expansions, The Final Shape is exactly what Destiny 2 needed to regain the trust of its players, from casuals who just want to enjoy a good story and occasionally repeat a strike, and to hardcore players who will spend hours dissecting raids and grinding master strikes and lost sectors.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape isn't a perfect expansion, but it's really close. It's a worthy culmination of the ten-year saga of Light and Darkness, and it's pretty much everything we wanted from the game. It will please die-hard fans of the series in particular, but also those who gave up on Destiny years ago and are considering to return.

A good 10 years have passed, through ups and downs, but the passion of Destiny's fans can never be extinguished. With an ending that also brings this chapter to a close, we remain only satisfied and impatient to know what the future holds.

The Ultimate Form is the DLC of the popular Destiny 2 game that will be enriched with a new campaign that will transport us inside the Traveler, where the last true villain of this saga lurks serpentine in it: The Witness. The pure embodiment of darkness. We will team up with old friends to take down new enemies. Arming ourselves with new weapons and new abilities for each playable class. I find it all in line with the proposed price. Strongly recommended if you love the genre but also for those who want to approach as a neophyte since everything is explained without leaving anything out.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape sticks the landing on a rocky saga. Just as all hope was lost with the disastrous Lightfall expansion, Bungie somehow turned it around. A heartfelt and epic story that brings a ten-year narrative to its conclusion. It’s not perfect and it certainly falls into the trappings that have plagued the franchise since it first released in 2014, but it is a good time.
Destiny 2: The Final Shape is a fantastic conclusion to a saga that began ten years ago for many Guardians. The story wraps up a number of things nicely, but also leaves a number of things open for the future. Finally, no more hassle with bounties, but a Pathfinder system that gives you complete freedom to fill in. Add to that a planet that looks impressive and where there is a lot to do. If you find a team of five other Guardians, the raid Salvation's Edge is the next thing that needs to be tackled. Now we wait to see what else Bungie has in store for Destiny 2 in the future.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape is good, very good. The expansion doesn't quite reach the heights of Destiny 2: Forsaken or Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, but it comes alarmingly close. The story's build-up is much improved, giving you a much better sense of what’s truly at stake. Admittedly, The Traveller is still a big question mark for me, but this time there's more room for individual moments with the cast you've been working with for ten years. The Pale Heart is beautifully designed and features incredible set pieces. Additionally, Prismatic as a subclass works exceptionally well and it almost feels like Bungie is trying to give you a taste of immortality. It is a shame, however, that there is so much repetition in the gameplay. This makes the game often feel like a routine once you’ve seen something a few times. But let's be honest; Bungie has really mastered the gunplay, mobility, and overall gameplay after so many years. As a result, Destiny 2: The Final Shape is still a pleasure to play and a must-have for players who have a deep affection for the Destiny franchise.

The Final Shape marks the end point for Destiny 2, the conclusion of a saga that Bungie has been building for 10 years, and in which it's all or nothing. Bungie proved that it had a couple of aces up its sleeve, with the ability to surprise with an expansion that rose to the occasion. The Final Shape closes with a decade of story, characters and moments.

After ten years, you’d think I would feel it’s time to hand up the cape and move on, but this series is just too much fun, and this expansion has proven that. If Bungie continues to deliver on this level of quality, Destiny 2 will have a long and exciting future ahead, paving the way for a potential Destiny 3.
The Final Shape is a concentrate of content, beautiful ideas and interesting innovations from both a technical and mechanical point of view. Now more than ever, Bungie teaches the gaming industry how to create a GaaS expansion ten years after the release of the first Destiny chapter.

New Guardians may have plenty of questions as to what’s going on, but if you’ve spent any time with the franchise in the past, this is worth coming back for - the Final Shape is the new gold standard for Destiny.
Destiny 2: The Final Shape delivers on its promise to give an emotional and exhilarating ending to a 10-year saga. There is still more to come as the story wraps up loose ends, but the direction this finale is heading is a truly great one.
With "The Final Form", Destiny developer Bungie is taking no risks and presenting an expansion that builds on the strengths of "Destiny 2". Awesome gameplay with gun and space magic that feels as fresh as it can be after more than 6 and 10 years respectively due to a new focus and a new race of enemies. If you like this gameplay or story, you get a fantastic conclusion to the first saga of the universe. Even though the game is slowly showing its age more and more, it is still a lot of fun and if you only want to get involved in the game once a year and don't feel like the live content, you should not miss this expansion.

With great additions such as the Prismatic subclass, new ways of telling your narrative, a refined system that dilutes excessive grinding and a new level of difficulty, The Final Shape delivers an experience that will captivate any player who has had his mark on the guardians' journey. I confess that I entered this era feeling hopeless, wanting to end my story with Destiny exactly at the end of this saga, but I left excited and hopeful for the future of the Vanguard and the Traveler.

Bungie wrapped up the 10-year saga with a gripping story with Destiny 2: The Final Shape. This is one of the best expansions Bungie has ever put out. The story felt complete and the closure it brought felt right. There are still some questions up in the air, but that is the purpose of a live service game where some of it is told in the lore and the rest is up to interpretation.
The Final Shape is an absolute success in every facet of the word. Developers worked tirelessly to deliver a game that felt great to play, was rewarding, and even pulled us in with massive lore bits to nibble on while we weren’t playing.
Destiny 2: The Final Shape is the greatest DLC Bungie has ever put out, rivaling the stupendous quality of both The Taken King and Forsaken.
The Final Shape campaign is the magnum opus of the franchise. It's obvious that the pacing of the story and gameplay were given an abundance of care, which elevates the entire experience. The story provides longtime fans massive payoffs, and succinctly wraps up the epic journey we've been on for so many years. Lastly, the new additions of the Dread enemy faction and Prismatic subclass made playing through the campaign a delight. I will say that as a whole, this campaign is the best in the Destiny franchise, and hearkens back to Bungie's golden age of campaigns in their Halo days.
Destiny 2: The Final Shape mixes incredible environmental art, fun gameplay, and a compelling new subclass with a boring story full of predictable cliches. It’s not the rebirth of Destiny 2 that some were hoping for, but it’s still as fun to play as ever. If you felt burnt out this expansion isn’t likely to change that. If you want to ignore a disappointing story and enjoy a gorgeous new area to play through with a plethora of fun new toys then this one is worth checking out once the server issues clear up, if the $50 price tag doesn't scare you off.
