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.

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.

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.

In 2014, Bungie set out on an ambitious project with Destiny . It was a game which prior to release was pitched as an epic game with an experience matched only by the ambition of the gamers playing it.

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...

In 2014, Destiny 1's launch lit the world on fire. To this day, it stands as one of the most hyped video game releases I've ever been a part of. I had a great deal of fun shooting countless aliens while collecting loads of loot across the galaxy with my friends for well over a year, but eventually,...

An engaging narrative; Relentlessly Rewarding; Huge social spaces with many activities; Restructured loadouts are magnificent

Disappointing shader system; New Hunter subclass feels too familiar; Strike and PvP random playlists can be frustrating

Destiny 2 is a first-person action game that takes the player on an epic journey to defend humanity from annihilation.

The Light moves forward.

Great story; Lots to do; Excellent gunplay

Microtransactions will put some people off; A little too easy
