The r
The editors didn't like
Main campaign over too soon
Oryx far too easy
First-person platforming is a nightmare
New PvP mode feels unbalanced
Game becomes repetitive after 15 hours
And not much variety to support the lategame grind
Many quests are still taxing
With chore lists and boring objectives to complete
Sound issues
Some elements don't feel settled yet
Continued reliance on “The Grimoire” to tell a story is annoying (even if it has been lessened)
Abstract: I'll be honest, while I loved playing Destiny when it came out, around the time the expansions first started coming out I wanted to wait and see what people said about them before dropping that chunk of change on them. The grumbling was enough to convince...

Abstract: Editor's Note: This review is a work in progress no more. See the final grade below!Destiny: The Taken King, and the game-changing Destiny 2.0 update, is sort of Bungie's sincere apology for not quite shipping the product that they intended to one year ag...
Abstract: Space: the final frontier – and it's a particularly difficult one to tame, if Destiny is any indication. It's appropriate that a game featuring a spacefaring humanity beset by evil space hordes is also Bungie's first foray into that most treacherous front...
Bungie has nailed it. This is everything we wanted and more, and we can't wait to see where we're flying off to next...

Abstract: When is the best time to review an expansion for a massively multiplayer online game? If you ask developer Bungie, they'll tell you Destiny isn't an MMO, but its shared-world questing and shooting, its collecting and grinding and levelling and looting, ma...
Strong content within and beyond the campaign, Better storytelling, More accessible progression, A great new enemy and a brand new setting, New strikes, raids, modes and maps to keep you playing
Existing fans get a raw deal on pricing
The Taken King isn't so much a Destiny expansion as a thorough reworking, building on the foundations laid by the version 2.0 update to make the endgame both more compelling and more accessible. The campaign itself is strong, varied and engaging, introduc...

Abstract: ACTIVISIONAnd while The Taken King is effectively downloadable content (DLC) there's so much packed in here that it just about justifies the hefty £50 price tag.The problem with Destiny when it launched last year was the lack of story.The shooting and act...
