Overview
Destiny 2 is an open-world MMO action FPS developed by Bungie that receives severe criticism as an uninspired, boring shooter focused on repetitive loot grinding rather than engaging story or tactical combat, concluding with a 1.6 out of 10 rating.
Destiny 2 heavily mirrors Halo in sci-fi aesthetics, dropships, weapons, armor, and vehicle designs such as hover motorbikes resembling the Ghost and spider tanks resembling the Scarab, but executes these elements far worse.
