Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Game is a good deal, if you can pick it up on sale $15 or less. Or if you can get it for $25 including expansion passes. At the time of this review you can price match the game itself for $9.99. Dont get me wrong, I enjoyed playing it. Its a decent game and the graphics are amazing. However its a very short game and I feel bad for people who paid full price. If you still haven't purchased this game yet, keep an eye out for when the price drops down and includes expansion Pass 1&2 at no upcharge or check for price matching. You wont be disappointed if you get it for $15 or less.

This game is better than the original but not by much. The game is more seamless than the first, and it is way less of a grind fest (very good thing). Graphically it is a lot better, and the already great controls feel even tighter/accurate. My biggest complaint is that it could be even better, Iron Banner is a joke, but finding a crew to do raids or Nightfall shouldn't be a pain to do

TLDR: Overall, fun game until you exhaust the content (approx ~100 hrs pve). This game was made for casual players in mind. If you're the type who only has maybe 5 hrs a week to play a game - that's all this one needs and you'll have many weeks of play-ability as long as your friends are going at the same pace. Preordered Destiny 2 as I had multiple friends who were going to be playing and started at launch. Joined a fairly active clan within the first week and hit max level by the first weeks reset. Overall, the story was good and interesting. The game play was good, no real big bugs or glitches. The music score was epic. The tower has some fun Easter eggs. The Leviathan raid was fun to learn, but does not allow for carrying, everyone must pull their weight and its apparent when someone isn't (its skill that's required more than gear). However all this fun comes to a stop as soon as enough people get to max light level - I'm sorry - power level of now of 305. There was no reason to attempt the raid on Prestige mode as the gear drops were reskined.

Based on how much he enjoyed Destiny 1, my 17 year old son wanted this sequel. He enjoys the clean game play, clear objectives and unique weapons. He also commented that he liked the straightforward controls, which are similar to other games and made it easy to learn quickly.

Pros: Online 4v4 multiplayer is intense and fairly well balanced. Campaign is challenging and it's fun to keep upgrading your gear. Cons: Online only (can't play when servers are down, which happens occasionally). The grind.

Fun game, good story line with great graphics. Action and easy to use.

This game is definitely been updated and feels more complete then the first Destiny game has still up to this day because of the story that its going through and the game feels more competent with the public events and matchmaking in the Crucible feels much better balanced during the time of playing and feels like a good more fleshed out experience

The game is a ton of fun especially if you have friends to play it with. I do get the feeling that I’ll get bored with it after a while but I’m at 20 hours and am still having a good time with it. The gameplay is fantastic and the story is actually sort of there this time around? Still not a great story but definitely entertaining at times!

The gameplay in destiny 2 is great and the story is better than the original. The progression is a lot of fun, I put in 150 hours or so. Unfortunately they undid some of the improvements that happened over the lifecycle of Destiny 1. Also, the endgame is lacking in content. Hopefully this will be improved in the next few months.

Destiny 2 is a great game especially if you have 2 other friends to play with. The campaign is fun and all aspects of multiplayer are really good. My only problem is once you reach the level cap it doesn't really do anything to make you want to play it anymore and gets very repetitive. But it is a very good game despite that.

Bungie has something special in 2015 when it launched a brand new IP- called Destiny. The original introduced the mainstream to Loot Boxes and in-game currency. The hook was immediate and thus launching the new IP to the far reaches of videogame supremency. Fast forward 2 years and it feels and play just the same and fixes what was wrong in the original in good and bad ways. First the bad, the shaders system is annoying. I find myself stashing shaders away in my vault to wait for that right piece of armor, that right weapon, that right Spaceship to splash that shader onto. The thing is your shaders are a one time use. It’s so hard to let go of gear you put your legendary shader on, even when it loses the comparison strength battle to a more powerful weapon. Fix it Bungie - FIX IT! One little issue doesn’t affect the rest. It looks amazing. The gameplay is what you expect from Bungie - single player and multiplayer alike. You will get hooked into the Loot system almost immediately. That’s coming from a gamer who has issues with in-game currency as well. Bungie has made, yet again, something special.

This game has it's flaws and recently the developers were caught limiting xp progression, but overall it is what the first should have been. The game has an actual story, though not too much of one, and it is also flush with content. The real game is after beating the main story so go forth Guardians.

Fun and addicting, and overall better than the first Destiny. However, a similar grinding wall is hit if you are trying to compete against the elite players, just like the first game. Teenagers and jobless adults have an unfair advantage when it comes to time available for upgrades and practice.

If you’re like me and you were disappointed with the original Destiny because it lacked a proper story, then you’ll be pleased to know that this is definitely a step in the right direction for the franchise. The story is much better this time around and the gameplay is much more refined.

This game provides a well-made story and has a decent multiplayer mode. This game can keep it’s player entertained for about year or so. If you want a game with stunning graphics, an amazing decently-long story, and fun multiplayer game modes, I would recommend this game to you.

So, without getting too political, the situation around the publishing of this has gotten a bit rough. The concept of having "lootboxes", or engrams available for extra purchases is definitely a hot topic. For this review, I will note that I am definitely a bit miffed by all of this, but I will not let it sway my view too far. The game itself is beautiful. Whether you play on the base PS4 or XB1, or you have the advanced capability of the PS4 Pro, or XB1X, this really shines. Performance has been pretty stable since day 1, and has only gotten better. The few glitches that I have encountered have not been game-breaking, and actually were just kind of funny. I would love to run this for PC as well, but I haven't gotten around to it, so I won't delve into 60fps performance, or ding the consoles for not being able to run that way. The point is that while the first Destiny was hampered by having to bridge the old console generation and the new, this gets to take full advantage of the hardware. Storyline and characters are phenomenal, compared to the first offering in the Destiny Universe. By the time Bungie had added The Taken King expansion, they had dug themselves out of the hole, for the most part. But this time around, things were pretty solid from the beginning. Granted, they have tweaked a few things now that the first expansion is out (a separate purchase, FYI), but it mostly works just fine. Characters have been consistent, believable, and enjoyable, especially considering that this is primarily a first-person-shooter. Mechanics have to be solid, and story comes second, but they've stepped up to the plate this time. Packaging is okay. The cover art looked nice, at first, but has become somewhat dull. And since the install will require the same storage as the blu-ray holds anyhow (plus patches), you might be better off with a digital copy, if only to free yourself from having to switch discs. That is up to your preference with discs, having the ability to resell the game, how often you use the disc drive, or play other games/media. Overall, I'm willing to give it 4/5. The mechanics are beautifully handled, the story is great, the graphics look SO much better than Bungie's first Destiny, and the promise is that there is more to come. However, the kickback comes from the shenanigans about certain items being available from purchased engrams, and consumables (like shaders now), being limited, compared to the first game. Between the semi-pay-to-win silliness that Bungie seems to want to continue running, the current attitude toward "lootboxes", and some serious issues that have yet to be completely addressed regarding leveling, item drops, etc., I have to take it down at least one notch. BUT, it's still a great game.

Destiny 2 solved a lot of problems from Destiny 1. Although, I still feel like it took away some things such as stuff to grind for. The story is a huge improvement but nothing special really. The gameplay is looks and feels great. Great game overall.

Much improved over the original. More to do, a better campaign with a better villain, better writing, better everything. I played it nearly every day for the first month of release, and only now have I taken a break. Not even because I'm sick of it, just that I don't *want* to get sick of it just yet. For those without friends, it's still great solo! I played through the campaign by myself and had a lot of fun. The campaign is much closer to the quality of Bungie's Halo titles, both length and level design-wise. There's some great moments, my favorite of which was one level where you jump across tall rooftops while fighting enemies. Highly recommended if you like co-op shooters, the Halo series, enjoyed what there was of Destiny 1 but wanted more, or someone who enjoys loot-focused games like Borderlands and Diablo. Lots of loot in this game!

You'll like Destiny 2. They've made a lot of improvements (better leveling system, less need for endless hours of grinding, better side quest system) but also fell short in a few places. Don't let that deter you much, though, as they are sure to improve a lot. If you've not purchased it already, I say wait for the first DLC. That way you will have more content to play with. The first raid is okay. They tried to do something different, and I liked most of it, but it also fell slightly short. It relies too much on communication and that can be hard when you have six people talking over each other trying to give some sort of direction. All in all, it's a lot of fun and worth the money.

Great follow up to destiny 1 and it has many hours of gameplay and content for you to play. I recommend playing this game with friends for else leveling up your power level may be harder.
