As an overall product, Destiny 2 is an incredible feat. Bungie spent three years essentially beta-testing this game, and used the knowledge gained from its predecessor to improve and fine-tune just about every aspect of the experience. As with the original, there are still rough patches to pave over, but the astoundingly fun game here is beautiful, funny, varied and constantly rewarding to play. The first Destiny was a game that we played and enjoyed often in spite of itself; with Destiny 2, Bungie has crafted something that’s genuinely worth the time, especially if you’ve got a few dedicated friends willing to join you.
House of Wolves finally starts to follow through on a bit of Destiny's promise. There's something in it for everybody, from PvP fans to co-op players to the five people who care about the game's story. The expansion doesn't fix most of Destiny's myriad problems, and it doesn't meaningfully change the moment-to-moment experience of playing the game. But House of Wolves is the first time since Destiny launched eight and a half months ago that I feel a glimmer of hope about the game's future.
