Destiny 2: The Final Shape Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
New Guardians may have plenty of questions as to what’s going on, but if you’ve spent any time with the franchise in the past, this is worth coming back for - the Final Shape is the new gold standard for Destiny.
Destiny 2: The Final Shape is another achievement amidst Bungie's countless triumphs. An ending delivering on its seemingly impossible promises with inventive and unique new additions that prove Bungie are far from done with Destiny. While that future remains somewhat uncertain, The Final Shape does offer certainty in its sheer quality and commitment to creating unforgettable player experiences.
Destiny 2 is a complicated topic. People who love the game – raiding, doing daily bounties, and min-maxing armour mods – are also its biggest haters. Bungie can hardly breathe without getting Nova Bombed by the community. So the challenge in releasing an expansion like The Final Shape, and tying up 10 years of history, is stouter than a Titan’s Bubble Shield.
Destiny's first saga ends with one of the best expansions in the series' history.
Destiny 2: The Final Shape is a fantastic conclusion to this ongoing story arc by offering an abundance of content, brand new enemies, and a respectable difficulty across the missions and especially the final raid, with the only real downside being the connectivity issues that come with any always-online game. There is still more to come in the two upcoming episodes as mentioned prior, but there is no reason why you can’t jump in now to experience The Final Shape as it is now. This expansion is obviously aimed at those who have been playing Destiny 2 throughout the years, but it also works wel...
The Final Shape is the best thing that has ever happened to Destiny 2. I can only imagine the Herculean work that went into the expansion, and I’m grateful for all the emotions I’ve received. There are a lot of great additions to talk about: Transcendence, new weapons, new enemies, new mechanics, the Pale Heart zone… To sum it up, Bungie completed the main story in such a way that makes one want to believe in it.
Bungie's conclusion to Destiny's first 10 years more than sticks the landing.
The Final Shape concludes Destiny's first decade-long story better than I ever could have expected.
Bungie sticks the landing as it finally brings together the threads of its epic first saga.
Destiny 2: The Final Shape is the final expansion that tries to wrap up the nearly 10-year long story that Bungie has been crafting since the release of Destiny in 2014. In my review-in-progress, I said that “The Final Shape is a must-play for any Destiny fan and I highly recommend jumping back in,” but I wasn’t able to elaborate on some of the end-game activities and the new Episode: Echoes that started the week after launch. So here is our final comprehensive review of Destiny 2: The ...
Bungie has been promising the world to us with Destiny 2: The Final Shape and has proven that competent and cohesive story writing is something that is no longer on the cards for Destiny 2. While the story is quite disappointing, there are at least steps in the right direction in a game design sense to make the game feel better to play.
Destiny is approaching its tenth year as a franchise. Way back in 2014 the original game launched in a not-so-great state, but became a huge part of my life. I’ve made lifelong friends from the journey, and even though it had it’s problems it was always a good time, thanks to the top-tier combat and build variety that it provided. Even today nothing quite matches the core shooting mechanics. Now Destiny 2: The Final Shape marks the conclusion of a decade-long saga.
