While Destiny 2 has a solid foundation and a robust story campaign, its endgame content feels a little lacklustre. [OpenCritic note: Brandon Howard separately reviewed the PC and PS4 versions. Their scores have been averaged.]

The PC version of Destiny 2 replicates the amazing gunplay the first game is known for. The visuals are gorgeous and the environments are so expansive that there is hours worth of exploring to be done. There is a huge amount of content to keep players entertained and almost all of it can be replayed with worthwhile rewards to be gained. This title lives up to its predecessor and has surpassed it in almost every way. For those looking for a casual shooter with a great story or for those who want to challenge themselves in raids and competitive PVP, this title caters to a wide audience making it a great experience all-round.

Destiny 2's MMO hooks and solid FPS gameplay make it an ideal candidate for the PC platform. The PC version delivers in spaces by taking advantage of the platform's strengths and delivering a fulfilling experience for PC players.

While destiny 2 is a lot like its predecessor, it's better in many aspects. It makes Destiny 1 look like a giant beta. Destiny 2 has the same charm of the previous game, so it can easily satisfy destiny fans, but by solving lots of problems, it also welcomes new players and offers them a memorable experience.

First and foremost, Destiny 2 does not frustrate players by placing parts of the end game under hard to achieve power level requirements. There's plenty of loot to gain and, more importantly, you're actually having fun while obtaining it.

it may look like a new skin for Destiny 1 and that's true but it comes packed with everything we wanted Destiny to be, we may think it's a new start for the franchise and the fans with a full story and multiple fixes for the mission design also world size not to mention well balanced PvP, the game is very rewarding and enjoyable, you will love this game and you will find it more related Game to destiny world and it offers a bigger lore for this world, but the cliche story and weak characters still problem, also some balances to the PvP weapons needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

Destiny 2 is a well-made game. You don’t see the weak points of the last game in this sequel and you can feel that Destiny 2 is a lot better than the first Destiny game when you are playing it. Destiny 2 has mesmerizing graphics, amazing gameplay, and great mechanics. There are a lot of activities in this game which makes Destiny 2 varied. Trust me, Destiny 2 will not get repetitive. There are a ton of activities in this game and a lot of public events. You have the lost sectors (Make sure to visit them) and of course a huge world to explore. There is also the stunning campaign mode with great storytelling and epic missions for those who enjoy games for their single-player mode. So if you’re one of those “not gonna play multiplayer with a bunch of kids” guys, you will enjoy this game as well. Destiny 2 is a complete game on its own; However, it wasn’t able to present itself as a separate game. Destiny 2 is not a masterpiece, but you will enjoy it and it can keep you entertained for hours.

Destiny 2 is a really solid game from a studio that feels like it's far more confident in what they have created for the sequel. While not always fun solo, it boasts well-crafted multiplayer gameplay with an addictive shoot-and-loot core loop. The end result is much closer to the original vision that the first Destiny was unable to grasp.

Despite its few shortcomings, it's a much more well-rounded game than its predecessor. It isn't as much of a change to the naked eye, but it's many subtle, smaller changes are enough to satisfy both old fans of the franchise and bring in new players.

This sequel fixes Destiny's biggest gripes with introducing a motivating story to the player and a rewarding endgame. We all know the Destiny 2 we are playing now is going to be different a year from now and I'm ready to invest more hours to see the game develop further.

Perfectly performing the well-known studio formula and listening to the Destiny community players, Bungie created a sequel that is much more focused on veterans, without much innovation. However, it has clearly evolved a lot since the previous title.

Destiny 2 is paradox incarnate! It hasn't changed enough to be a complete sequel yet it boasts enough content to be one. It rockets to the sky with pleasure and excitement then bashes to the ground cumbersome and tired. Some parts are so beautifully done they make us cry of joy and then other times the amateur hour hits and makes us cry for help. Despite all of this, it's a much better game than its predecessor with a lot more heart into it. Destiny 2 is a worthy game especially if you have friends accompanying you on this epic repetitive (!) journey

Destiny 2 is a sequel that appears to play it safe in term of innovations and instead tries to improve on the solid gameplay roots set by the original. The end result is a game that is a joy to play but at the same time, it appears to lack the excitement of a brand new entry.

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.

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.

As it stands at time of writing, Destiny 2 stands as a testament to Bungie listening to feedback and making a sequel that stands head and shoulders over its predecessor. It can be accused of preaching to the choir with its lack of in-game codex and more aggressive microtransaction pressures but if you found the first Destiny cold, impersonal, and half-baked, this installment is the one to jump in on.

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.

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.
