In every respect that Destiny felt forged from nail-biting uncertainty, a mélange of design decisions that would be rewritten and redone time and time again over the course of three years, Destiny 2 exudes confidence and belief.

For the sake of clarity and transparency, we'd like to explain a few things from the offset. About a month ago, we visited Bungie in Seattle, where we played through two-thirds of the Destiny 2 campaign.

Depending on who you ask, Bungie had a lot to fix between the original release of Destiny in 2014 and now. Many of the original complaints of the game ste

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...

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

As I mentioned in my impressions of the Destiny 2 Beta, I wasn't anywhere near as enamoured with Bungie's successor to the Halo series as the general public seemed to be; abstruse matchmaking mechanics, lacklustre mission structure and a practically non-existent storyline turned me off the game to...
