Just in case you didn't know - Destiny 2 is now free to play some content. You can get few campaigns, lots of single missions and access to pvp modes for free. The game is really cool and worth giving it a try. I missed it on release, but enjoying it now.

This is the greatest, and also the worst game i have ever played. There's just no end to it.

Destiny 2 is a game that blends tight FPS combat, RPG progression, and sci-fi storytelling into an epic experience. With intense gunplay, deep lore, and exciting co-op gameplay, it delivers some of the best shooting mechanics in the genre. But with aggressive monetization and a heavy grind, is it still worth playing?
The Good:
✅ Top-Tier Gunplay: Shooting feels crisp, responsive, and incredibly satisfying.
✅ Expansive Universe & Lore: A rich sci-fi world filled with deep stories and memorable characters.
✅ Varied PvE & PvP Content: Raids, dungeons, and fast-paced multiplayer keep things interesting.
✅ Regular Updates & Expansions: New content, events, and seasonal updates bring fresh experiences.
The Bad:
❌ Confusing Monetization Model: Expansions, seasons, and content vaulting can make it expensive.
❌ Steep Learning Curve: New players may struggle with the overwhelming amount of mechanics.
❌ The Grind is Real: Progression can feel like a second job, especially for endgame gear.
❌ Vaulting Controversy: Some old expansions and content have been removed, frustrating long-time players.
Final
Destiny 2 is a fantastic looter-shooter with some of the best FPS gameplay available. If you love deep mechanics and don't mind the grind, it’s a must-play. But if you’re looking for a casual experience without spending money on expansions, be prepared for some frustration.
⭐ 8/10 – Amazing gunplay, but locked behind too much grinding.⭐⭐ :)

Destiny 2. The game I’ve been playing since the D1 beta — so basically, this isn’t a review, it’s a cry for help.
Destiny 2 is the best bad game I've ever played.
With over 2,000 hours logged on steam and an equal amount on console JUST on D2, I can confidently say that I have no idea why I’m still here. Every expansion promises salvation. Every patch is a new chance to be hurt again. Every TWID (TWAB) gives me hope that maybe this time Bungie will fix things (Spoiler: they won’t.)
The gunplay? Immaculate. No other FPS feels this good. The raids? Still unmatched in mechanics, music, and moments. The art direction? Jaw-dropping. Bungie can design a skybox that makes you forget you're on your 14th Nightfall run hoping for a weapon that still won't drop. The lore? Deep enough to drown in, assuming you enjoy reading 3-paragraph weapon descriptions to learn that some Hive god’s nephew is now a gun. (Still upset about the time Bungie locked the story behind a fishing minigame and three strikes)
But for every amazing high—soloing a dungeon, finally scoring a god roll you’ll never actually use, or finally finishing a Day 1 raid—there's a frustrating low. The seasonal model has made burnout a feature, FOMO is practically a core mechanic, and don’t even get me started on sunsetting. The PvP? Somewhere between “neglected” and “held together with duct tape and Copium.”
And then come the seasons. The same activities. The same currencies. The same "please Bungie, I just want to have fun" energy. You grind your soul into dust for a red-border weapon that you’ll craft, then never use because next season it gets power-crept by a strand rocket launcher that shoots poetry and grief.
And yet, despite everything, I keep logging in. Like a loot goblin with Stockholm syndrome. Because just when I’m about to uninstall, Bungie drops a cutscene that slaps or gives me a cool exotic shaped like a toaster and suddenly I’m back. I’ve lived through content droughts, sunsetting, the Great Shader Crisis, and I still don’t know why I keep playing. But I do. I continue to promise myself I’d take a break after the next expansion... only to come crawling back. And here I am, years later, still chasing the loot. Still spending 40 minutes in the Tower debating the value of a 54-stat armor piece just because it has 20 Mobility. Still logging on to check Xûr like he’s going to sell me the meaning of life.
But then a fireteam forms. Someone says, “wanna run a raid?” and I can’t help myself.
Final Verdict:
Destiny 2 is a manipulative, beautiful, broken, exhilarating, miserable, unforgettable mess of a game.
And I love it.
And I hate it.
And I’ll see you in orbit.

The game is basically robots, smurfs, and humans being given immortality by a giant ping pong ball in order to fight the forces of evil geometry.

Bell curve, Destiny goes up and down. When new content drops, play it. When you're done with it and you've gotten all what you wanted form it, put it down and play other games. Rinse and repeat (optional - may be different for all of y'all). Once you accept that this is how it is, you'd enjoy D2. =)

I’ve spent almost 3,000 hours in Destiny 2, which is impressive considering I hate this game with every fiber of my being. Every expansion promises hope, every update teases balance, and yet I find myself trapped in an endless cycle of suffering—like Zavala, eternally carrying the weight of the Last City on his shoulders, except instead of protecting humanity, I’m hoarding useless shaders, broken exotics, and a vault full of sunset weapons I refuse to delete.
The gunplay? Phenomenal. The world? Beautiful. The storytelling? Occasionally coherent. The grind? Oh, buddy, the grind is life-consuming. One minute, you’re vibing with friends in a raid, having the time of your life. The next, you’re sobbing in a corner because you need one more red-border weapon, and the RNG gods have forsaken you yet again.
PvP? Imagine a lawless wasteland where one dude with a hand cannon ruins your whole weekend. Gambit? We don’t talk about Gambit.
And yet… I keep coming back. Because Destiny 2 isn’t just a game—it’s an addiction wrapped in space magic. I complain, I rage, I uninstall. And then Bungie drops a trailer, and suddenly, I’m back like a fool, ready to be hurt again.

Fun game, just don't continue to play it when its no longer fun. Thats when you start hating the game. Take a break... come back when it updates - don't force yourself to get god rolls or experience all the content etc etc.
If you aren't having fun > Don't keep playing. Just come back later. I've had a much better gaming time doing that with multiple games.
