Pretty good read as I didn't like the first one a lot either. PC Release can't come soon enough!

Two quotes from the article:
It would be an understatement to say that I did not like Destiny upon its release in 2014. Years later I still maintain that it's a bad game. Not even a mediocre one. Straight up bad, with its environments composed of endless, barren plains with enemies surging toward you horde-style, its constant grind with diminishing returns, and let's not forget the awful, non-existent attempt at storytelling culminating with a character saying "I don't have time to explain what I don't have time to explain." Admittedly, expansion packs like The Taken King and Rise Of Iron helped fixed a lot of those problems by inserting mini-campaigns into the game and filling out what was essentially a clunky proof of concept with the kind of content that should have been there in the first place, but it still felt like a bandaid on a broken bone, as none of Destiny's locations or activities were as interesting or satisfying as its gunplay.
As someone who bounced off hard of the original game, in spite of being someone who's usually gaga for bold and rough experiments, I'm falling hard for Destiny 2. Whether it's just roaming around the various planets, listening to the incredible score, or helping my fellow Guardians take on Public Events or going off on my own adventures, Destiny 2 is a constantly immersive experience. The jump in quality between these two games might not match the difference between Titanfall and its sequel or Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, but it's a stellar experience and one that comes closer to realizing the weird FPS/MMO dream hybrid the original game was trying so hard to be. Despite my ardent skepticism, Destiny 2 is shaping up to be one of my favorite games of the year and one that I urge folks to check out even if the original game rubbed you the wrong way. Come join me, fellow croweaters, in popping off satisfying headshots and dancing on farmhouses beneath a full moon. For more on Destiny 2, check out our official review.
