Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris Reviews
A distinctly unambitious expansion that adds nothing meaningful to the parent game except a very short, and mostly dull, new story campaign.
Aside from small additions such as new ‘Masterworks' variations of weapons being available and the requisite cosmetic items, players can also tweak the look of their armor sets by completing tasks in-game or take part in a kind of ‘raid-within-a-raid' which again just reuses the environment from the first major raid.
Curse of Osiris is a thin first DLC for Destiny 2, uninspired and filled with playful boredom - apart from the new Mini-Raid.

"Curse of Osiris" looked like a promising story expansion for Destiny 2. Sadly, except the artists, no one in Bungie knows what they should do, so we got an exceptionally lousy DLC with a price tag much too high.

Curse of Osiris is a step back on the narrative level and a it has been very coward on the gameplay level. Great artistic style, new weapons and a new raid is what saves this expansion from being a disaster. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-ldb4'); });

Curse of Osiris landed in Destiny 2 with a thud. Its campaign and story are a bust, its new content is mixed and buggy at best, and it does nothing to address the community's loud cries for fixes to the endgame. The few redeeming features are its more challenging and varied Adventures, and the Raid Lair's puzzles and tough boss battle.
Curse of Osiris expansion has a good story, but with repetitive missions, a small planet with few activities plus two new maps for crucible, weapons, Strike and Raid missions, at last we could say it's more of the same.

Seeing how Bungie approached the Destiny 2 expansion matter, I have low expectations from the next DLC that should arrive in the coming months and you should too.
The Curse of Osiris does not bring what Destiny 2 needs and does not solve most of the problems that the game presents. The new Raid and the campaign modes are interesting but could be better inserted into the game universe, and all the new content is not enough to be worth the price of the expansion.

Whether this will suffice to keep players engaged until the next expansion hits remains to be seen. I think it's safe to assume the potential for randomised rolls on weapons and perks will be ameliorated by Bungie's heavy-handed approach to the weapons system for the sake of striking a balance between PvE and PvP.
It's disappointing because the foundation is there. I can't help but feel that there just wasn't enough time to fully flesh this expansion out.
Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris - not a bad expansion, which once again reminds us that the Bungie artists are one of the most talented in the industry. Shooting elemets are still great, but the reuse of content, a story full of monstrous dialogues and lack of motivation to play further after going through all the activities can disappoint old fans and players who have been waiting for new content for a long time. Now we can only hope that the real epic in the scale of The Taken King lies ahead...

A lacklustre first offering that gets by on a few star turns and the same stirling gunplay.
A short and easy story, dull assaults, boring multiplayer maps and a small social space. That means that The Curse of Osiris could have been great, but as it is, it's far from achieving that.

Gorgeous visuals and shiny new loot fail to make up for a short, underwhelming story which completely fails to take advantage of a potentially amazing Infinite Forest. Light on both content and innovation, Curse of Osiris is a disappointing first expansion.
The Curse of Osiris lives on highs and lows: on the one hand the quality of the contents, on the other the quantity, too small to represent a consistent introduction capable of shifting the balance.

Destiny 2's first substantial piece of DLC may look pretty, but it's a surface fix that misses the mark on truly pushing the series forward.
Curse of Osiris offers little as far as content is concerned. The brief campaign is forgettable and treated more like hold-over content than a proper full expansion. The only real redeeming feature about Curse of Osiris are the Raid Lairs.
Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris has an excellent new raid and an interesting campaign, but is severely lacking in meaningful content and plagued by a host of larger issues that have yet to be addressed.
There's a fair amount of fun to be had in Curse of Osiris.
