Destiny 2 has proved that it is not just an expansion, or an unnecessary sequel. It is a second attempt at a game that hooked fans with its incredible gunplay, and now those players can buckle in for a story and activities to match.

While there's still room for improvement, and for this universe to live up to its full potential, Destiny 2 makes undeniable progress, and reinforces the idea that this is a series we'll be playing for at least an entire decade, when all is said and done.

A great improvement over the first installment, but not a perfect game. Its history is good, but not great and its gameplay looks like an evolution of what we've already played.

Bungie Studio managed to fix the problems of the first game by supporting the game with a brilliant short story, in addition to good side quests. The studio also supported the game with great PVE modes such as Strike, Nightfall, Raid and the great public events that will keep you busy for a long time at Destiny 2. You can also go to The Crucible and play against other players, which you will enjoy too much but be prepared to get used to all the modes as you can't choose a particular mode, but is this a whole new game?! It felt like a great expansion of the first one.

Destiny 2 is an incredibly competent shooter that lacks a strong identity.

In spite of its shortcomings, Destiny 2 shines thanks to its replayability. There are many different ways to enjoy the game, both alone and with friends. As a solo player, I've even come to familiarize myself with different players, as we went through a Strike mission and later attempted and failed the Leviathan Raid. (Advice: Do not attempt the Leviathan Raid with strangers.)

A new beginning and a giant step forward in the Destiny franchise. But will it be enough for the high-demanding community?

"Destiny 2' is a case study in the difference a smooth presentation can make. This is still a series about vaporizing aliens and the virtual incarnations of other people but it's more inviting now than it has ever been.

Despite a disappointing story campaign this is a notably improved sequel, whose endless loops of addiction feel far more honest and rewarding than the first game.

Destiny 2 is a fantastic new beginning for one of the most popular online shooters out there, and I can't wait to see how it grows and evolves over the coming months and years.

Destiny 2 is a very continuist game, but that does not mean that it is bad. Thanks to a well paced campaign mode, a progression system from the MMORPG genre and a very polished style, Destiny 2 is as addictive and entertaining as it can be.

Destiny 2 is a perfect evolution of the original´s concept. Campaign is solid and full of CG sequences, the new activities, progression system and raid complete a unique experience between FPS and MMO. And Bungie brings the best gunplay back.

Destiny 2 has renewed my faith in Bungie, the series as a whole, and is easily what the first Destiny should've been as it fulfills on everything that it originally seemed it would be and more.

Destiny 2 commits a lot of the same sins as its father, but it succeeded in doing something the original never did -- make roaming around the open world fun and rewarding. It still has a lot of room to evolve with expansions and major updates, but the future is looking brighter than it once was.

For the console Destiny 2 crowd, the PS5 update is one of the biggest improvements the game has ever gotten. Destiny 2 feels like a whole new game, a whole different experience with a simple little power boost that kicked performance to the next level. Bungie consistently designs the best feeling shooters in games, and to optimize that with a layer of polish and performance afforded by next-gen console capabilities is a big win for players. While it's missing a few of the more unique PS5 features, Bungie arguably focused on key core improvements. I still hold out hope for DualSense features to be implemented in the future, but Destiny 2 PS5 is one of the most impressive generational game upgrades we've seen so far.
