Destiny 2 is the game I was totally hyped to play three years ago, finally.

Destiny 2 is definitely a better game than the previous title. If you're not a Destiny fan you could try this one, if you're a Destiny fan then this should be a no-brainer. Everything feels familiar and improved, the perfect kind of sequel.

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 more Destiny in almost everyway, but that's not a bad thing if you want to play more Destiny.

While the first Destiny had its shortcomings, they're not quite so evident here. Destiny 2 does everything that the release version of the original failed to do, with a worthwhile story and plenty of other activities to complete, right out of the box. A fantastically enjoyable and insanely addictive shooter, Destiny 2 is certainly well worth your time. Now, where's Xur hiding this week?

Evolved beyond what anyone imagined, Destiny 2 realises the FPS-RPG dream with a richness, warmth, and player-minded benevolence that needs to be played to be truly understood.

Destiny 2 fixes most problems of the first game and becomes number one project for fans of deep and complex cooperative experiences on modern consoles. The game largely met our expectations, and in some aspects even surpassed them. And although developers promised more drama and epic in the main story, campaign satisfied us rather than disappointed. In many respects due to great work with locations and game mechanics, diversity and amazing alien worlds' vistas.

Destiny 1 was known for not becoming “fun” until you were already well invested, something that definitely deterred some potential players. The grind was the largest piece of the first game's puzzle, but the dev team hadn't yet figured out how to make that something worthwhile.

Destiny 2 improves upon the original Destiny in all facets. It plays great, looks amazing, sounds even more amazing, and it's just a damn good time.

Destiny 2 is action at its finest. An improved expansion you'd say, but a magnificent one at that which nails the idea of what it means to forge a legend.

Bigger and better - but there's not enough genuinely new for Destiny 2 to achieve greatness.

Marked improvements in style and story, coupled with Bungie's always excellent shooting, make this continued space epic a winner. But that never ending grind, though...

he story of Ghaul in Destiny 2 mirrors the story of Bungie as a publisher: humble, runty beginning (being a Mac game publisher), molding by an older mentor (Microsoft Studios) with an ulterior vision for their company, rise to indomitable power (the Halo years), a search for meaning beyond the power (splitting off the Halo franchise to 343 Industries), a fall from grace (leaving Microsoft), to becoming engulfed in the Light of their achievements (partnership with Activision), ushering in a Second Golden Age (Destiny 2). But, hey, that’s just a theory… for another time.

Destiny 2 is fun and exciting. Bungie made precise adjustments to its formula, improving the overall experience and bringing it closer to the ambitions that it originally had for this long-lasting project.

Destiny 2 doesn't have a great or compelling story, but the diversity in its environment leads to a fun and great adventure. One of the best features of this game is music and it can make you sink into the beautiful world of Destiny 2 from the very first moment. But on the other hand, long loading times are boring and in order to play PvE or PvP, you have to wait a long time which is not satisfying.

It's a more polished and fun game than the original game. That's how the first one should have been. It's a must have for fans of action and sci-fi games. It's story makes more sence and it justifies the reboot of it's whole universe. It's a game that has something for every kind of player, whether you're just looking to enjoy the campaign, play co-op with your friends or compete with players from all over the world. Few games can accomplish that.

Destiny 2 is very similar to the original, but a variety of tweaks and additions make it a far better experience.

Destiny 2 is a blast out of the gate thanks to its excellent co-op shooter gameplay and strong storytelling in the campaign.
