DESTINY 2: THE FINAL SHAPE REVIEW
Destiny 2’s The Final Shape is a love letter to its fans, it’s the best of Bungie. A triumphant last hurrah from a 10-year-old franchise that has seemingly owned its past mistakes. It manages to mesh past and present together, telling a powerful story without leaning on unearned nostalgia and ends of an enormous high. Gameplay feels as engaging as ever, with loot worth playing for and fresh challenges that players both inexperienced and venerated will love. While the past and future of Destiny is murky at best, the present is a gift.

Refreshing gameplay with new activities and a kick-ass arsenal to unlock
An epic conclusion to a decade-long story
Beautiful and memorable locations and characters
CONS
Multiplayer lobbies mostly replaced with single player experience
Pathfinder doesn’t serve players unwilling to diversify their playstyle
