Once you get past the barrage of introduction cinematics (and somehow manage not to get lost by that time), the game opens up into a fine journey. I must mention that I was a day-one Destiny 2 player. As a returning player in Lightfall after a long while, I felt lost. It introduced me to a bunch of new elements, but it felt underwhelming. As much as there were things I was familiar with, it takes time to familiarize oneself with the new additions. It's a part of MMO games; I get it. However, Destiny 2 isn't great at doing it. They shelved a lot of past content, especially the expansion campaigns, which I hated. The original Red War campaign is no longer there; it has been replaced by some introductory missions that serve as a tutorial. Luckily, the exotics are still purchasable. The game still features some of the best raids and dungeons in the entire franchise, reworked and reimagined from Destiny 1 as well. After platinuming it, I felt relieved and finally got it done. I eventually got used to the Crucible and managed to embrace it, but I liked the first one a lot better, as it was more fast-paced. There are certain balance issues, especially in PvP, specifically when it comes to the Iron Banner, etc. It appears there will always be game-breaking meta builds.
