Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate Reviews
Bungie, give us a sign. On the one hand, Boundary of Destiny manages to renew enthusiasm for a boundless narrative universe that still has a lot to say. On the other hand, the design and gameplay choices are ineffective: from these two points of view, it is one of the worst expansions in the entire history of the franchise. If the future of Destiny 2 starts here, it's not a great start.

Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate does a good job on setting the stage for the future of the game, but unfortunately, it falls short in creating a truly engaging and memorable experience. That said, the quality-of-life improvements and system changes like Armor 3.0 might be enough to satisfy the more dedicated players.

Playing Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate was enjoyable since I watched the trailer for this expansion. I literally let out a death scream and said, “I can’t believe Bungie pulled me back in!” I’m excited to see what the Renegade part of the expansion is going to be like. Yet, I don’t know if the story is going to be canon in the Star Wars universe or not. Wait … is the Force going to be considered a subclass at this point? Only time will tell. The the only question I have to ask is, will this new overhaul on the original system make or break this franchise. I give Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate the Thumb Culture Gold Award
Still irresistibly fun to play, The Edge of Fate semi-successfully establishes a foundation for the future Destiny 2 saga that will be told in the coming years. The new progression system is interesting but very lengthy.

Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate provides new content that is definitely worth it. The story is just as messy at the beginning, but soon you roll nicely in that. The main change is Armor 3.0 and that system works fantastic and ensures that grinding feels less like a nightmare. Certainly in combination with Portal where you can adjust the conditions of missions yourself. Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate starts a new chapter in the life of many Guardians, but a lot was lost last year due to wrong choices and little fascinating content. Hopefully Bungie will realize that and there will be no repeat of moving in the coming months.

Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate is a rough start to the Year of Prophecy, but one that still shows signs of promise below some of its disappointing features. The overhaul to some systems is excellent, and the combat remains top-notch, but many issues hold back what could've been a great new beginning.
This raid, in an expansion that also caters to new players, was supposed to serve as an entry point ; instead, it proved to be a particularly difficult mountain to climb, even for those who've been playing for a decade. Conclusions

Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate feels like a test of patience rather than skill. While the narrative and world-building are receiving their plaudits, the gameplay mechanics, bugs, and design missteps, on the other hand, are hindering what could have been one of Destiny 2's most ambitious expansions to date.
Bungie continues its streak of developing phenomenal content with live-service elements that actively work to undermine it. Destiny 2: Edge of Fate's main campaign has plenty of highs, but sticking with the game long-term at this point means dealing with Bungie's eclecticisms, and odds are that you've got no patience for that.
Destiny 2’s decline has been a long time coming, and The Edge of Fate only speeds it along. A dull epilogue paired with frustrating mechanics does little to justify its existence. The real improvements came from the free updates, not the expansion itself, not that it saves that much, anyway.
