Destiny 2

Overview

Destiny 2 is a blast out of the gate thanks to its excellent co-op shooter gameplay and strong storytelling in the campaign. Not all the features I’d expected to find are here, but it does deliver the same kind of highly social gameplay and rewarding, loot-driven progression that helped the original keep me hooked for hundreds of hours.

It's hard to overstate how much better Destiny 2 has become in the last year. The Forsaken expansion and the smaller updates that followed added variety in activities that meant you could earn rewards while playing your favorite content, as well as a...

Destiny 2 is mechanically a fantastic shooter, but a threadbare plot and some odd choices after the campaign wraps up make it more of a foundation to build on. Expect it to take a year for Bungie to polish this one up again.

Destiny 2 is undoubtedly enjoyed best with companions (and a clan) to share it with. While it does have the potential to further fragment the community, Destiny’s entry into the PC sphere has a much more important and beneficial effect – spreading the fun and thrill of this game universe to a new segment of players, and adding fuel to the desire many harbor for this franchise to continue to gain steam.

Destiny 2 for consoles was already a stellar game that's made even better when the shackles of a console's limited hardware are removed. Uncapped framerates, an adjustable field of view and true 4K visuals make this PC experience impossible to...

The wait has been long, and the wait as been worth it. Destiny 2 on PC is hands down the best version of the game you can get. It looks better, feels better and plays a hundred times better. For our thoughts about the game itself, don't forget to read...

Destiny 2 has its share of issues, a lot of them to be frank, but it’s still an entertaining adventure that the developers have properly improved. The shooting mechanics are some of the best in the business, and the art team has done an amazing job in bringing this futuristic universe to realization. With that said, it’s not a monumental leap, feeling less like a sequel and more like an overloaded expansion. That’s not to mention the worlds, while beautiful, are less memorable than most of what the original game had to offer.
