When the first destiny game was released back in September 2014, it almost instantly became a huge success for Bungie. The game provided a multiplayer experience that gamers had never experienced before while having some resemblance Bungie's other successful franchise, Halo.

However, as quickly as it became a success it began to revive criticism. A lot of gamers thought that the game was empty and repetitive as the unique game style had a vague storyline.

Gamers also believed that DLC was a money grab, as a lot of the DLC areas of the game were already in the game at launch and were blocked until that particular DLC was purchased. Despite the criticism Destiny received, it remained one of the most unique and widely played games this generation of console gaming has seen. When Destiny 2 was announced there was a lot of pressure put onto Bungie, as there was a lot the iconic gamine studio needed to improve on in order to preserve the potential the Destiny franchise has.

Now that Destiny 2 is out, gamers finally have the Destiny experience they were expecting the highly anticipated sequel to have. Possibly the biggest addition to Destiny 2 is the Story. Bungie took their time to produce a well-developed storyline that helps tie Destiny 1 & 2 together. Destiny 2 begins with a scene showing everything in Destiny being destroyed. If you played the original destiny you can keep the visual features of your character, however, all of your previous armor and weapons are also destroyed.

This prevents original destiny players from having an advantage over those who are just now jumping into the Destiny franchise. Destiny 2’s campaign also received a tremendous amount exploration, which differs from the original destiny as there weren’t that many incentives to explore the maps. Destiny 2 now gives players incentive to wander off as there are lost sectors throughout each world that players can find, with each lost sector having a handful of opportunities for players to collect good loot.

Destiny 2 also received a revamped reward system that invites players to explore all aspects of the game. Bungie also addressed the many complaints that the original Destiny was repetitive and empty by adding dozens of sidequests throughout the game that will take players hours to complete. Multiplayer received a competitive makeover as well with new maps that were designed to better suit competitive gaming than the maps in the original destiny, 4v4 matches, and challenges that help players earn more loot.

While Destiny 2 is becoming one of the biggest games of the year, the game has managed to receive some criticism already. According to The Know, a lot of Destiny 2 players are upset over the fact that Bungie's pay-to-play model for Destiny 2 seems to tarnish some aspects of the game.

The servers also gave players a little scare when the game launched as player traffic overloaded the servers, making players wait until they were placed into the servers based on the order in which players signed into the game. Let’s just hope this is the only server issues Destiny 2 will encounter.

While Destiny 2 has only been out for about a week, it is quickly showing that it may be one of Bungie’s best games. Considering that Bungie took the time to pack Destiny 2 full of content at launch, Destiny fanatics are eager to see what Bungie has in store for Destiny 2’s first raid as well as Destiny 2’s DLC expansions.
