Destiny 2 once again delivers a hype train it cannot live down! Remember the pointless grinding of the first Destiny? The annoying RNG loot? The endless Horde modes with unsatisfying random loot drops? Well fellow gamers, prepare for even more of the same bullshit. It is not that Destiny 2 isn't fun, the combat takes strong cues from the Halo series, the weapons and crafting remain satisfying, and the environments are beautiful to behold.
However, that is little consolation for the rest of the product, which features an intense cliffhanger ending at the end of Destiny 2. Loads of frustrating DLC and Expansion Passes force gamers to keep playing long after the novelty wears off. You are buying an incomplete game, that will get sold to you through DLC and Expansion passes! In 2017, triple AAA gaming developers believe its perfectly moral and just to ask us to shell over 60$ of our hard earned money for an incomplete gaming experience. BULLSHIT! We don't want to pay full price for an unfinished game!!! DLC is excellent if the core product delivers satisfying gameplay. Once again Destiny 2 falls woefully short of improving on the mistakes of its predecessor.
The textures are a minor upgrade from Destiny 1. Yet the gameplay is the same stale recycled formula of pointless Horde Mode and grinding. The story is a slight improvement from the glaring plot-holes and cliches of Destiny 1 but is still sub-par. This is a sad day for gamers worldwide, as another Triple AAA developer, once responsible for the likes of the legendary Halo 2, has fallen hard through the cracks. Worth a rental, skip the buy!
Graphics: 9/10
Gameplay: 6/10
Sound: 7/10
Final Verdict: 5/10 (Mediocre)
If you enjoyed Destiny, give the sequel the shot, but don't expect much variation from the first game.
