Destiny is a franchise that has teetered on the edge of greatness for ten years only to throw itself backwards at every opportunity. In that time, Bungie itself has changed, no longer the same company or people that brought us Halo, the Bungie of today is a far cry from such high points, and it shows the most in how Destiny 2 has evolved in the aftermath of The Final Shape, with mediocre (often reused or re-skinned) content on top of lazy story-telling, an overemphasise on the cash shop and the lack of respect for the community or its feedback with regards to beloved core gameplay features being stripped away or repurposed in a way that forces players to engage in repetitive content for unreasonable amounts of time.

Put simply, what Destiny 2 has become is a far cry from the original vision put forward for the franchise over a decade ago. Promises have been made, broken and ignored over and again with high points such as the Taken King, Forsaken and Witch Queen expansions being very quickly followed by bouts of inferior content drops or gameplay changes which have only proven to drive more and more players away.

I type this review following my own ten year journey through the Destiny universe which started in September 2014, throughout which I have shared in many highs and lows, made and lost friends through teaming up for raids, PVP and other activities. Now, it's time to move on.

Would I recommend Destiny 2 in its current state? Absolutely not and honestly, I don't see it getting any better as Bungie continue down their current path. It's been a fun ride, but this is one Guardian whose Ghost has revived them for the last time. Thanks for the memories. Guardian down.
