Destiny 2, like Destiny before it, has had its ups and downs.
Players were upset that Destiny 2 even made the sequel leap at all, having jettisoned all of the old content in favor of a new game that was one step forward, two steps back. Then the initial DLC came, and people just weren’t having it with the half-hearted Osiris and Warmind add-ons.
Arguably, Destiny 2 never had its “Taken King” moment with Forsaken, despite drastically upping the overall quality of the experience. Shadowkeep was more of the same. Now Beyond Light tries to work its magic with some substantial additions.
