For as tough as you are on it, A- seems awfully generous.

Destiny is a series I have a complex relationship with. There are things about it I love, but they're all hampered by things that just drive me crazy. Destiny 2 is a great game compared to the first, but before the first came out, my expectations were so much higher. The idea of the Halo devs getting a gazillion dollars and several years to make a massive new IP that would take their expert FPS mechanics to a shared-world experience sounded amazing. Even as I play Destiny 2, that dream still isn't fully realized. I wish the world felt truly big. I wish the planets felt like enormous, explorable open worlds, and not arenas connected by pathways. I wish engaging with strangers randomly had more "stickiness" to it.

I don't know where I'm going with this. Good review.
