Since this morning, I've been hammering away at Destiny 2 , Bungie's second shot at its intriguing science-fiction fantasy universe. I'm the massively multiplayer online (MMO) guy at USgamer and for all of the ways Destiny departed from the formula, it was still an MMO.

Destiny 2 is an first person shooter set in a mythic science fiction world. It is in some ways a role-playing game as you assume the role of a Guardian protecting the Last City from various alien races and factions. You wield a power called – predictably – Light.

Good co-op game

Not so good single player

Destiny 2 is a much bigger game, which improves on all the gameplay features and mechanics of the original. More importantly, it does come with a meaningful story that drives solo players through all the game's content without turning the experience into an absolute borefest.

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

Played the first one couldn't really get into to it. But this one is a lot better. Love how you share the maps with other players and that you can do public challenges togerher without having an online pass

Overall a good addition to the franchise although Bungie have changed so much from the original that it feels like it lost some of its identity. Its a work in progress, give it a year or so and it will be fantastic

GameCentral offers its final judgement on Bungie's blockbuster sequel, including all of the game's co-op and competitive modes.

Perfectly hewn gunplay and much wider range of things to see and do, especially in the open world maps; Streamlined upgrade path and excellent Strike and Raid design; Great graphics

The storytelling is still very basic, and the Crucible remains competent but far less distinctive than the rest of the game; Repetition will still get to you sooner or later

Whilst it got off to a shakey start, most of the negative reviews on here are from players who reviewed before the widely well regarded Raid Lair was released and updates for Masterwork weapons and Dawning. As it stands today, the DLC has much more content and is well worth the money, in my opinion.

Shadowkeep is taking its first steps in a newly focused Destiny that might not offer a lot, but strongly delivers on what it does. While it's hard to say whether Bungie can maintain this promised trajectory for the course of the expansion, the signs so far are encouraging.

+ A return to the main narrative; + Eris Morn's story & performance; + Garden of Salvation raid is fantastic; + Lots of hidden secrets on the Moon for returning players; + Additional gear stats offers new loadout possibilities

- Retreading old ground; - Campaign feels cut short; - Armor 2.0 appearances are limited so far; - Seasonal Content isn't sticking around

Destiny 2 successfully follows its addictive, if sometimes controversial, predecessor in merging single- and multiplayer content in a conventional yet adaptable design. Picking up after the events of the original, players once again step into the role of a Guardian, one of the superhero-like...

Note: For the benefit of our readers, I will be avoiding major spoilers where possible in this review, regarding much of the story, powers and events. It is also a late review, so that I could experience some events and features added later in the game.

Feels and plays as good as any other top shooter; Plenty of hours of end game activities; Improved visual makes me wish I had a 4K console; Vibrant online community

Perhaps doesn't do enough to convince those not interested in first game; AI is still poor
