Destiny 2

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.⭐⭐ :)

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.

4,000 hours later, i decided to finally say my peace on Destiny 2.
As someone who loves Bungie's halo games and has stuck with the Destiny series since the D1 beta, Destiny 2 has been an actual roller coaster of commitment. It can be the best experience you've received in gaming, or feel like a collossal waste of time. The management of this current day Bungie is killing any remaining amount of hope I have for Destiny's future. I genuinely wish I could give a mixed rating for Destiny 2. I don't want to downvote it because i don't actually think the game is utter garbage, it's quite good in how it feels to shoot the guns in this game, use abilities, and experiment with the deep buildcrafting system the game has to offer. The storytelling(for the most part) is captivating and interesting, and endgame activities like raids and dungeons are experiences worth sharing with friends. But on the other end, the corpa end, lies the games flaws. The monetization has gotten extremely out of hand. While the game is free to play(closer to a free trial), you must buy expansions and episodes to acquire more content to play. The game also has dungeon keys, event passes, and a whole heap of store items that can be bought individually. It is disgusting how far this has gone and it's increasingly hard to convince any friends that the game isn't horrible every time Bungie adds to the overwhelmingly negative stigma surrounding the game's media 24/7. The community has also taken a pretty hefty nose dive from everything that has happened and you can't really blame them, some of these people play destiny 10 hours a day so at least you're doing better than them. While the most recent expansion, The Final Shape, was a great conclusion to the saga and a well received product, the content that followed the expansion is so middling, it isn't worth sticking around until another big hit comes along. I'm just tired, of all of it. The poor business decisions, the monetization, the aura of negativity, it just can't be healthy to stay in this space as long as some people do. I can ONLY recommend this game if you are going in with a group of friends and if you're able to snag some expansions on discount. I recommend you just focus on having fun with your friends in a bubble, ignore anyone telling you what you should be using or how you should be playing. Play through the stories, get loot, buildcraft, play through raids and dungeons together. Don't buy event passes or eververse items. Don't take the pvp seriously.
Just try to enjoy the ride and don't get burned.

Not only that I grew up on this game, I watched the beginning, the rise, the prime, and now the fall. From all the memories of doing LFG's with randoms, crucible matches, and making some longtime friends along the way, its sad how the company is treating its workers when all is done, treating the game like its a cash grab at the end of the rope. Ill never be 13 again pulling my first ever exotic, but I will remember the first time beating Oryx at 3 in the morning when we said last try two hours ago. Thank you Bungie for such an astonishing game that reigned over for years.

Destiny 2 is a fast-paced, visually stunning looter-shooter that manages to mix MMO mechanics with top-tier FPS gameplay. Bungie absolutely nails the feel of the gunplay — every weapon, every ability, every moment in combat feels incredibly responsive and satisfying.
The world-building is deep and the lore is rich, but a lot of it is hidden behind menus or seasonal content. If you're just starting out, the story might feel confusing at times due to vaulted campaigns and lore dumps, but once you’re in, it becomes addictive.
The biggest downside? The grind. Some content is time-gated, certain gear requires repetitive tasks, and the seasonal model can feel exhausting. Still, if you're into building powerful characters, customizing loadouts, and teaming up for epic raids — Destiny 2 delivers.
At its best, it’s one of the most engaging co-op shooters out there. At its worst, it can feel like a second job. But for many, it’s a job they don’t mind coming back to every day.
Score: 8/10
