There is still work to be done, but the core of the experience is fixed. And what we have is a new version of that original game I poured hundreds of hours into. A version I am looking forward to pouring in hundreds more.

Forsaken is not perfect, but is a big step forward for the Destiny franchise. Bungie and Activision are back on track with a big expansion that features the best narrative and some of the best gameplay elements we have ever seen in Destiny, alongside a lot of end-game content.

In short: An excellent expansion that just might win Bungie back some favour - if people are prepared to pay for it.

Forsaken implements several smart changes for the current season of Destiny 2 along with telling a thoughtful, yet darker story of vengeance. It's a comeback for Bungie.

Destiny 2: Forsaken returns the story that Bungie began back to its roots: A power fantasy with a more sombre story, that retools the sequel to once again feel like a hobby that's well worth investing in, even if some rough edges do still show in this adventure to enact some old school justice on some new school enemies. Exciting, mysterious and always engaging, it's good to see Destiny 2 back on track.

In the grand scheme of things, if you can afford it, Destiny 2 is now easily the best shooter on the market. I absolutely love where Destiny 2 is now, and hope the Forsaken expansion is a glimpse at things to come.

Destiny 2: Forsaken succeeds in returning lost glory to Bungie's shared world shooter, with Gambit mode being the star of the expansion. The end-game looks promising, though it's uncertain how things will shape up in the future.

Destiny 2: Forsaken rights a lot of the wrongs from the original game. It is the game that Destiny 2 should have been right from the start, and because of this, it becomes a lot easier to recommend again.

A no-brainer if you want to get back into Destiny 2, Forsaken changes everything about the game and applies a coat of awesome to every layer. This is how expansions should be, always.

Destiny 2: Forsaken is exactly what the game needed in virtually every aspect. The improvement in economy, activities, rewards and endgame are excellent and, along with a very good story, the title is able to keep players interested for much longer. However, Bungie and Activision must rethink the strategy used to force players to buy content that does not interest them and do not have much in-game value.

Destiny 2: Forsaken still fights with some issues from Destiny 1 but manages to take the place as probably the best Destiny Add-On so far thanks to a gambit mode that offers surprisingly lots of variety, a really motivating storyline and lots of small new features like the Dreaming City Area that will also keep veteran players excited till the upcoming raid.
