Destiny 2: Shadowkeep

"Destiny 2 Bastion of Shadows is like coming home: it&s;s played like always and it&s;s very, very fun, but with the new armor and weapon systems, Bungie manages to create a deeper system, and the seasons promise to entertain us …"

"With cross-save, all new gear, revamped armor, and the finishing blows added to what was already a solid shooter, Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is a worthwhile successor to the Forsaken update and a genuine treat for anyone who loves shooters."

"Shadowkeep is taking its first steps in a newly focused Destiny that might not offer a lot, but strongly delivers on what it does. While it&s;s hard to say whether Bungie can maintain this promised trajectory for the course of …"

"Destiny 2: Shadowkeep elevates the gameplay, but falters on a storytelling front."

"It&s;s not quite on the level of The Taken King or Forsaken, but Shadowkeep feels like a major step forward for Destiny 2. It&s;s a promising starting point for the game&s;s third year, and for post-Activision Bungie. I&s;ve thoroughly enjoyed …"

"Bungie provides fresh food for Destiny fans with some interesting innovations, but struggles with old problems."

"Destiny 2 has never been this accessible, and the foundations Bungie has laid for the future are largely solid. The core "new" content of the expansion may be a bust, but Bungie has proven that by going independent to better …"

"The humanisation of Eris Morn, a once bleak caricature shrouded in mystique, along with a number of brave narrative turns help Shadowkeep along to a thrilling conclusion that sets Destiny up for another year to come. Though the core tweaks …"

"With the hints about where the series is about to go... the future for Destiny is looking bright."

"Bungie continues to surprise me in just about every respect: good and bad. Forsaken had a fantastic campaign that Shadowkeep doesn&s;t quite match, but all of the enhancements for Year 3 of Destiny 2 help balance it all out. Despite …"

"Out of the gate, Destiny 2: Shadowkeep builds on Bungie’s legendary marriage of storytelling and gameplay, improving upon the foundations of the past while looking ahead to its future(s)."

"Shadowkeep is an extremely lazy expansion that offers nothing more than the bare minimum of content. Some new sets of armor, a few additional weapons, several exotic and a pleasant additional endgame activity are of little use when everything else …"

"As of right now, Shadowkeep is a mix of hits and misses and feels a bit incomplete in certain areas. It does just enough though to keep the dedicated player invested while they wait for more content to trickle out …"

"Shadowkeep is an expansion that’s brimming with potential that it’s actually poised to capitalize on. Its campaign may be a lukewarm retread through the franchise’s history, but the endgame loop is feeling more robust than ever. If the game’s first …"

"A good expansions that shines in its most difficult activities, but that does not offer enough content to keep the community engaged for a very long time. The new path taken by Bungie is very promising, though."

"Shadowkeep had a solid campaign, though it ended prematurely for my taste. The expansion itself isn’t on the level of Forsaken, but it keeps the Destiny 2 machine rolling forward. I’m not personally happy with some of the changes that …"

"Destiny 2: Shadowkeep has picture-perfect and grand setpieces on the moon, combined with excellent gunplay. Unfortunately, it&s;s also marred by a middling campaign, weak narrative, inane endgame activities, and repetitive mechanics. The only thing haunting this expansion is its inability …"

"Destiny Shadowkeep adds a poor solo campaign to the main base game, too short and too straightforward. Only the Destiny addicts would enjoy the hours of grinding needed to open the doors of the new raid."

"This expansion marks a sea change for the series, from one that keeps players begging for scraps to one that sets players up for a feast."

"Destiny 2: Shadowkeep pulled me back in after two years away from my guardian with the promise of ever-evolving seasons and new content to play once more. The initial offering was very light on story and loot but I can …"

"The cycle of Destiny whiplash continues with Destiny 2: Shadowkeep. Like during the Destiny 1 era, we started with a lackluster opening, then got two awful expansions, got our significant overhaul, and now we&s;re at the stopgap."

"Where Shadowkeep’s story will take us remains to be seen, but the inclusion of Destiny’s core mechanics in a brilliantly revamped location has reinvigorated Destiny 2 just as it was starting to get a little stale."

"While its campaign is enjoyable in the moment, Destiny 2: Shadowkeep never manages to truly shake the fact that we already went to the Moon five years ago. For better or worse, this is just more Destiny, and that&s;s a …"

"Not as expansive in initial scope as previous expansions, Shadowkeep&s;s standout feature is instead the way it redefines the core loop and encourages week-to-week investment"

"Shadowkeep kicks off the third year of Destiny 2 with smart additions and an intriguing mystery."

"There&s;s certainly enough new content here to keep fans interested. Shadowkeep&s;s lunar surface is no Dreaming City, but it holds enough new surprises to make it worth checking out"

"Shadowkeep&s;s return to the moon provides the usual quick story and new activities, but it&s;s the many under-the-hood changes that really shine."

"Not the best, biggest or neatest expansion in the series&s; history, Shadowkeep nonetheless sets a solid foundation for what&s;s to come."

"Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is a decent start for the next year of content, banking heavily on nostalgia and few mechanics. If you just want an excuse to play Destiny, it should suffice."

"PvP still needs work, and the story is once again more style than substance. However, abundant content elsewhere - including new PvE challenges and a build system with actual depth - means Shadowkeep does what it needs to.Richard Scott-Jones"

"If you were ever curious about Destiny 2, Shadowkeep is the perfect entry point. If you are a reneged player that struggled with content doubts, there’s no better time to come back. And if you are neither of the aforementioned, …"

"Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is another solid expansion for Bungie&s;s addictive looter shooter. It&s;s a mixed bag, building on the solid foundations of Destiny 2: Forsaken with some ideas working better than others. This is a new era for Bungie though, …"

"Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is a big step in the right direction for Destiny, even when it feels like the first chapter in a larger story and subjects you to a brutal grind."

"Shadowkeep, seen just as an expansion, falls just short due to a small campaign and a shortage of content. However, the changes that introduces to Destiny 2 make this the biggest step forward for the franchise since its debut in …"
