Destiny 2: Forsaken

We’re now in the third week of Destiny 2: Forsaken. The hardest Raid in Destiny’s history is out. The Iron Banner Crucible event has returned. And things keep evolving. Where players expected answers, more questions and mysteries keep rising in their place in the best of ways. We’re three weeks in and I am deeply invested in a way that I haven’t been since early in Destiny 1′s life. My clan is act...

Destiny 2: Forsaken is Destiny at its best. Many of the systems that players loved from the original have returned, and many features from Destiny 2 have been refined. If Bungie continues to produce expansions like this then Destiny will certainly last for ten years as promised.

With Destiny 2: Forsaken, I keep coming back to the old aphorism,"A rising tide lifts all boats." This update not only has improved Destiny 2 for those buying the expansion, but also for all players, regardless of the version they own. Playing on an account without Forsaken I was able to acquire gear from the new expansion, and the new daily and weekly challenges were also available on the account...

Bungie has done an excellent job in, not just creating enough content for the game’s fourth season and start of the second year, but in reviving a game that stuttered after its initial launch. Whether you’re glued to PvE or PvP, Forsaken caters for both players even with its fun and unique new Gambit mode and range of bounties across all current and previously introduced areas. The one problem I’v...

Forsaken looks and feels like the Destiny 2 we all wanted at launch. It now has to stand the test of time, but the first few weeks of the game are a solid indication that Bungie has learned from their mistakes, and are on a path to perfecting what the game should be. Good story, great core mechanics, a satisfying and rewarding grind, and a really exemplary unique game mode mark Forsaken as one of ...

Forsaken does more than expand Destiny 2: it rewrites it for the better.

By channelling community feedback into an all-encompassing package, Forsaken finally makes Destiny 2 feel essential again

Forsaken is what Destiny 2 should've been at launch, featuring a new PvP mode, a serious story filled with intrigue, and fairly compelling characters. While this is the best that Destiny has ever been, improvements can still be made

Destiny 2’s new expansion, Forsaken, turns the game into something that people can play as much as they want without running out of things to do. If anything, its tantalizing new pursuits, designed to satisfy the appetites of the series’ most voracious players, may be too life-consuming.

Bungie has once again brought their game back from the brink - but is it enough to entice players to return that have been burned twice before?

Destiny 2 Forsaken is a step in the right direction for the title but under delivers in the story department. If you like Destiny 2, then this expansion is for you.

The franchise has been a standard bearer for the concept of “games as a service” – titles that offer regularly refreshed challenges and updated content in order to keep people playing regularly (and paying regularly) for a long period of time – and at times developer Bungie and publisher Activision have struggled to find the right balance.
