Customer Ratings & Reviews

Game starts ok but there isn't enough content. Leveling is weird, you will be limited in how much you can progress per week when you hit 20 (which will happen quickly), endgame rewards are worthless, player vs player (crucible) is bad compared to Destiny 1. Google problems with Destiny 2 for a lot more detail or check out the Destiny page on Reddit. Player population dropping as people are fed up and there is nothing to do. Will be quitting as well. It's too bad as the graphics and feel of the game are great. A real step backwards from the final state of Destiny 1. A good example of why people should never pre-order games.

I got this game to play with friends after they told me it was better than the first one. While it is better than the first, it's not really that big of a compliment. Turns out my friends just wanted me to suffer right alongside them.

I got this just because so many friends had it. Played during the weekend. Now I'm done with it. It's the same boring game as the first one. Save your money. This game, at best, is worth $20.

Received Destiny 2 for free via a promo for buying another game. Game is fun with solid gameplay. Bungie, the developer, know how to make a shooter. Story is a step up from Destiny 1 and it's lack of narrative. However, it still seems lacking in content. At this point, there are 3 expansions, that I would need to buy separate, and some and game missions are locked out to me since my level is capped off at a lower value than is needed to participate in them. Getting the original version with no dlc for free is great, but I'm not willing to spend the extra money required to get access to otherwise locked content. As of this writing, the 3 expansions can be had for $60. Plus there is another annual pass that costs $35 that will cover expansions releasing in 2019

I tried this game out because they're basically handing it out for free to anyone who will take one. (PS Plus included it as a 'free' game recently, and I got three free copies from Best Buy with the purchase of other games.) It is a very pretty game, but after playing for a couple/few hours, I realized there just wasn't anything I liked about it, so I quit. The game lets you create a custom character, but then it forces you to play in first person, so you rarely even see your character. I don't like playing in first person that much anyway, but when so much of the "rewards" aspect of the game goes to customizing your character, why would they make it so you don't even see your character during most of the gameplay? This is a perplexing choice to me. If I could have chosen to play in third person, I might have liked it more. Even if all you're interested in is single-player content (like me), the game requires a connection to the server, which means that you have to have good, reliable internet, and it means that whenever the Destiny servers eventually get shut off, the game will become 100% unplayable. Probably because this game is focused on multiplayer, you're not able to customize the difficulty. I reached a point where I couldn't get past a certain enemy, and that's where I stopped to realize that I wasn't enjoying the game at all and quit. If I'd been able to set it to an easier difficulty setting, maybe I'd have pressed on farther. My brother loves Destiny, so it obviously works for some people, but it didn't work for me. The fact that they're giving the game away like Halloween candy to try to convince people to buy the expansions tells me I'm not the only one who feels this way about it. If you're not super-duper into FPS wild blasty games (methodical sniping was not an option at all for any of the content that I got through), think hard about paying any money for this game.

This game has gone way down since the first one... Everse now wants you to pay for that nice shiny armor. So dont expect any cool looking armor or shaders for free.. especially after spending 400 hours on the game... good story line though..

Despite a descent story and solid game mechanics it has too many problems that should have been solved after the first one. Add to that the xp issues that have been going on and the lack of an endgame it's just a very underwhelming title.

While your initial experience with Destiny 2 is almost sure to be a polished, fun time, it's the most loyal of players who are sure to feel truly punished by this game over time. I bought the top-tier edition with season pass at launch, and now there's...another expansion? And that expansion has a season pass? I'm sorry, but the full experience isn't worth that kind of money. If you're good with a brief, solo experience, pick up the standard edition as it's regularly available at sub $10.

Destiny has always been a shaky series. It has great shooter FPS mechanics, incredible potential for scifi fantasy lore, and great co-op and pvp. However, it is still a shell of a game when looking at the base game. It has a fun campaign on par with Titanfall 2's short but decent campaign. If you're looking for more of the same content over and over again, Destiny may be for you, but the eternal grind gets dull quickly.

It's Destiny 1 again. Same graphics, same gameplay, same initial lack of content due to planned DLC. If you liked the first and have friends that play this then ok but if not it's eh.

This game will drew you in with solid graphics and fun gameplay, only to pull the rug out from under you with an impressive lack of depth or community appreciation.

Great to play with a group of friends if you have enough, but very limited in the base game with little to do once you complete the main game.

It's basically Destiny 1 without any of the DLC, so less content than D1 ended with. Avoid until GOTY version.

It just wasn't my taste. I prefer more strategy. This game just seemed like a run around and shoot, arcade style game. Good if you prefer that. I was very happy to have not had to experience any foul language during the short time I played it. One thing I totally abhor is the language they use in games these days. I'm prior military, I've had to endure enough of the foul talk... I sold this game after about 30 minutes of play time. Only lost 15 bucks.

The game offers great action. I wish the game companies would eliminate the language.

Everything about this game feels like it was given little thought, at least to a point to where Activision felt it would cost too much. Really disappointed in this game and I hope someone from Bungie or Activision is reading this and realizes that sooner or later this whole money scheme that every major game developer is leaning on will collapse. Probably not going to play this game ever again.

Although they improved some things, the experience still feels the same overall.

Just to be very clear, I did not play with other people during my time with the game. I only played this game by myself. From that standpoint, I wouldn't recommend Destiny 2. The controls and gunplay are really good, but the story is pretty bad, and there isn't really much going on beyond the shooting. Destiny 2 feels like a game that exists for people to hang out in rather than a game that exists for players to go on an adventure in. There is a lot of repetition that doesn't exist in other shooters that seems to exist to create a grind to go through with friends to keep playing the game even though what you're experience isn't all that great past the core shooting. If you like single player shooters, you would be much better served playing Wolfenstein 2, Doom, Prey, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and Dishonored 2.

At least theres a story, still boring endgame stuff and awful Engram system

Its a first person shooter and better to play with friends but it feels like the same game as the first. I never been into first person shooters so if you never been this wont change your mind.
