Destiny 2 is the game everyone expected when the first Destiny came out. It's huge, engulfing and rich with gameplay. It has a bit of everything for everyone and does everything right, including provide an engrossing campaign to start things off. It is certainly a contender for game of the year in my opinion and one game you don't want to miss.

Destiny 2 is a significant improvement over the original and its expansions in that the game makes more sense this time around. The campaign, cooperative and competitive game modes come together to form a more cohesive and focused experience.

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.

Post release support will truly make or break the ongoing life of the game, but as an initial prospect, Destiny 2 is utterly fantastic.

Destiny 2 is more of the same. A little prettier, a little more interesting, a little easier. After playing for dozens of hours I know I’ll spend much more time with Destiny 2. There is no better game about shooting aliens that is so much fun. And looking at the first game and its evolution over the years it’s hard not to wonder – what kind of game D2 will be in the future? A great one, I’m sure!

The frustration and disappointment that engulfed me when I first played Destiny quickly dissolved after playing through Destiny 2. The missions are varied and the desire to constantly upgrade my Guardians with the best loot kept me coming back.

Destiny 2 is everything you could ask for in a sequel. The systems of the original Destiny have been tweaked and tuned. The graphics quality is superlative. Destiny 2 feels less like a grind, is easier to get into, and is a superior project to the original Destiny in almost every way.

At the moment, Destiny 2 does a fantastic job of improving on the strengths of the original game along with bringing some new additions to the table. However, not all of these are good or warranted, marring what could have been a perfect sequel.

Destiny 2 is a great game, more better than the first one because of many more end-game activities, all well structured and organized. The story is amazing, made of very beautiful cutscenes and characters written on the line of most contemporany movies. Unfortunately the difficulty is low and the progression of the Guardian could be very fast and easy. Despite this the game is great to play and share with friends: waiting the raids and the trials of the nine, we could easly say that Destiny 2 will be loved by fans and newbies.

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.

Despite the bitter taste of microtransactions and some recycled procedures Destiny 2 is a solid expansion on the first title. The story is visually stunning and the new RPG and Upgrade-elements finally complete the broke Loot-System and offer more motivation to explore the planets and world of the game.

Destiny 2 feels more of an expansion than it does a sequel.
