In part this is due to the fact it has evidently been put together in haste once it was clear the real Destiny 2 would not be ready for release in 2016 (it has since been announced for next year).

And yet, at the same time this most current of expansions, Rise of Iron, feels like a step or three backwards. Ultimately the loot has been what’s driven people ever onwards and although the way we get this, what we get and how you manage or upgrade it has changed, that core incentive presents reason enough to carry on fulfilling your destiny as a Guardian, or now, an Iron Lord. The multiplayer experience has benefitted from a variety of modes, changed-up over time to avoid over-familiarity and of course the wonderful jump and shoot looped gameplay at its heart is, as mentioned, second to none. The campaigns to date have been mixed, the strikes invariably fun even after multiple playthroughs and the raids outstanding entertainment for those strong enough to tackle one or more. They have done so alongside a wealth of content delivered by way of the original game, expansions – like The Taken king and this, Rise of Iron – and free additions. Bungie, the maker of the Halo series has created a world which provides gamers around the globe with what are arguably the finest shooty mechanics available on consoles. We are now entering year three of what was originally conceived as an ten-year plan.
