Review Destiny 2: The Final Shape (PS5) - Bungie's Promise Fulfilled
There was an idea
10 years ago, we booted up the beta for Destiny on PS4. It was an exciting time, as the possibilities of multiplayer on console were rapidly expanding into the territory of live service, a term that didn’t hold quite the same implications as it does now. There were bold claims of half a billion dollar budgets and decade spanning...

Can an expansion have middle child syndrome?
Since the original launch of Destiny back in 2014, there has been an ambitious yet overly vague storyline building in the depth of its ever-expanding lore. The gist of it? Good versus Evil, or in the case of this universe, the Light versus the Darkness. For so long, it's felt like a meandering excuse for...

Goodnight Forsaken, Witch Queen awaken
How do you review a game that never ends? The latest expansion in the Destiny 2 cycle – The Witch Queen – arrives amidst typical controversy as the excellent Forsaken campaign is removed – excuse me, vaulted – to supposedly make room for it. We’ve got mixed feelings about the whole situation. On the...

There are so many versions of Destiny 2 in PSN that I spent some time looking for the right download.. there's "Destiny 2" without indication of PS4 or PS5, marked "unavailable", but clicking "Learn more" it threw me to a version (same name!) with release date today. Now downloading that on my PS5!
I've also played the disc-version and the PSN-version too, so maybe that complicates things. Good to see it still works regardless of all the versions I've tried and played.
