Destiny was a first-person shooter with just a hint of an MMO that, after all was said and done, was pretty darn good. It may not have lived up to the ocean of hype that surrounded it prior to its release, but it managed to build a dedicated following after its excellent expansions and DLC, Rise of...

Destiny 2 is not a complete overhaul of the original game, but rather an evolution to something much bigger and better than its predecessor. It improves in every way, including the story, varied content and gameplay.

Good story; Fleshed out characters; Lots of added content; Varied activities and events; Gunplay is absolutely sublime

Lootboxes; The odd connection issue; but nothing major; Crucible feels a bit barebones

Destiny 2 addresses many of the complaints brought up about Destiny , and as a result, delivers a better realized experience with a more engaging story, addictive combat, and refined mechanics.

A much more cohesive experience overall this time around, Destiny 2 may not be all that big of an evolution over the core elements of the first game but Bungie have trimmed the fat and refined the foundation in order to give its target demographic exactly what they want.

It's strange to think it was three years ago when Steve and myself first shared Our Thoughts on Destiny the First, and two years since I decided that The Taken King had gone a long way towards tidying up some of the rough edges from the base game.

Footage of Destiny 2 in action, showcasing just how great it looks HUD-less I am speaking to you from the future, so I don't even have time to explain what I don't have time to explain. Though the Destiny 2 servers have only just been switched on, I've already played what you're playing now.

During my first fortnight with the game, I've taken three characters through the game's story, slaved through countless Nightfalls, finished the raid twice and even managed to win a game in Trials of the Nine, the game's weekly PVP mode reserved for the most dedicated and sweatiest players.

Simply put, Destiny 2 may feel like a lot of the same at times…but without all the nonsense from the original. It improves upon it's predecessor in every way conceivable and there's bound to be so much more content on the way that we won't know what to do with.

Finally, a Destiny game that does a lot of what Bungie promised before the first title made its debut. Although many consider it just a slightly improved version of Destiny 1, I wouldn't put it that way.

Plenty of content to play after campaign story; Excellent co-op and competitive gameplay; There's an actual story in it; and a decent one; Clan system is a great tool to better approach end content; Improves on just about every aspect of gameplay from Destiny

No new alien races to shoot; Still not recommended for solo players

This game is incredible! From graphics to replay ability. They did so much to make it easier, and more fun to play than Destiny 1 was, and I loved that game! I am looking forward to the first DLC and also to try it on PC next month. There is really not a lot I can complain about.
