Destiny 2 in the heart of spiders web

For starters, there’s something approaching an actual narrative, and a main villain who seems reasonably menacing from the outset, even if by endgame he feels more like an inconsequential bug to be squashed. It’s not great, but it is a noted improvement over the first’s meager offerings. Starting off with what Destiny 2 got right, the main campaign isn’t all that bad. The result? Essentially, everybody loses all their gear from the original game. The Guardians of our particular galaxy try to fight back, but it all goes monumentally sideways. Then things get even worse in Destiny 2 when aliens come screaming in out of nowhere and raze that stronghold to the ground. For years they’ve been pushed back to the last remaining stronghold on Earth. Humanity doesn’t seem to have a great deal of luck in the Destiny universe. WTF Main bad guy annihilates humanity’s last refuge, then sits on his ass for the rest of the campaign.

LOW The endgame feels like a pointless waste of time.
