Destiny 2 Reviews
Smarter and more streamlined, "Destiny 2" is the version of "Destiny" fans have been waiting for.
While new content will drip in over the next couple years, right now you really have to take seriously that Destiny 2 is like a microwave: you know exactly what it does, and it does it well, but you can't expect it to do more than that. It's very hard for me to look at the past five or six years of console and PC games, and then the things that are announced for the next six months, and think that I want to fully integrate Destiny 2 into my life as my primary entertainment appliance. It would be so easy to do so, but the cost of committing to this thing over any other thing seems so high.
Bungie has listened and made the changes that were needing to be made so that Destiny 2 could soar into the stars to be one of the best games to release this year.
Destiny 2 is a very interesting title that offers a good narration and it's full of details.

On the one hand, Destiny 2 will feel like old times, an adventure that begins with the words "Be brave" and culminates in epic shenanigans. On the other hand, Destiny's soul doesn't feel any more defined in this sequel and it's prone to many of the pitfalls of the original while introducing some new mistakes. Highly recommended for Destiny fans and new players but those who didn't like the original might want to think twice.
Destiny 2 does not disappoint. Bungie expanded their idea for MMOFPS with a lot of new content. With untouched shooting mechanic, beautiful sights and soundtrack - it's surely worth playing.

Destiny 2 improves on every single detail. The story might not be the best in the genre, but the amount of content is impressive and the gameplay is better than ever. One of the best action games this year.

Destiny 2 is not a complete overhaul of the original game, but rather an evolution to something much bigger and better than its predecessor. It improves in every way, including the story, varied content and gameplay.
those who enjoyed Destiny the first time around, Destiny 2 has so much to offer – even for returning players. But at its core, those who weren't fans of the original won't find major revelations in this sequel.
Destiny 2 represents an evolutionary jump similar to what the Bungie team was able to accomplish with Halo 2, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The innovations of Activision’s subsidiary fit perfectly into the digital fabric of the original chapter: thanks to an impeccable gunplay, an interesting story and an innumerable array of activities to play, the gaming experience offered by the latest Bungie colossal shooter promises to be one of the deepest and most complete of this generation of video games.
This time, Destiny 2 offers a much better and balanced experience, with the help of a real campaign mode and a lot more content. Fans will be pleased, newcomers also, and they will all hunt rare loots together for the months to come until the first extension.

With its DLC, the original Destiny had a three-year shelf life, so we can safely expect something similar from Destiny 2. The story and gameplay mechanics have greatly improved, and it sports many graphical upgrades. It's unfortunate that the enemy AI isn't more challenging, but for this franchise, the fun will always come from the end-game content. As long as players understand and accept that, they should snap up this sequel and prepare for another long adventure.
Big, bright, bold, and bursting with content and heart.
With the exception of some questionable choices regarding microtransactions, Destiny 2 is a game that improves upon the original considerably, in every key area. This is, without question, Bungie's best work yet.
Since release I have been on Destiny 2 every night, be it to complete a few quick challenges or play the strikes until the light of our world faded so that my Guardian would earn that little bit more in his. It’s a wonderful experience and I get to share it with friends who share the same feeling of revitalised hope. Destiny 2 is far from perfect, but I am happy to consider myself at home alongside those blemishes on such a polished product.
A clear and engaging campaign, immense balancing, gorgeous visuals and cinematics, more activities than ever before, one of the best, most dynamic game soundtracks I've heard in while, and much more ensure Destiny 2 will see as much play as its predecessor if not more.
Destiny 2 rights most of the wrongs of the first release, solidifying itself as the must-play shooter of the year, one which will be enjoyed by fans for years to come
Online co-op fans should buy. First-person combat fans have to try.
