Destiny 2: Shadowkeep Review - MMORPG.com
In this latest major installment of the Destiny universe, Shadowkeep takes players back to the surface of the moon to revisit old haunts. But is looking back the way forward for Destiny? We’ll find out with our scored review.

It's overpriced for what you get. I think every reviewer out there is completely ignoring how much this 4 hours of content costs.
I'm talking about Shadowkeep, not anything added before it. I already paid for the other expansions. You've just started the game so you're seeing loads of content for free.
If someone has already played the game up until this point, what you get for the price of a full game is pretty crap tbh. Destiny has been like this with every expansion though, I don't know why I expected it to be better this time around.
Also, my favorite content is the open world zones. So.... yeah.
It's a complete farce of an expansion! 4 hours of content for a full blown expansion?! That is the same amount of content they released in each of the two large DLC in year 1 of Destiny 2!
Then last year's Forsaken expansion was huge! Shadowkeep is a farcry from that. I am glad I finally got off the Destiny addiction bandwagon and didn't let me get scammed into buying Shadowkeep.
Not to mention the whole farce around nullifying all the old content by making all characters, including new ones instant light level 750, just to compel players to buy the Shadowkeep expansion as quickly as possible and play that instead to have any form of progression.
Since all old content has been changed to flat light level 750 difficulty! /facepalm
(Reminds me of ESO).
You know, if it was paid for they'd need to have a disclaimer. That is the law.
But yeah, let's take a conspiracy over the fact that the expansion's actually good for its target audience.
Your gripe with the game simply means the game is just not for you. Which is fine.
It's a looter-shooter with massive repetition and grinding in mind.
People who buy these expansions know what they're getting into. They want the grind. They want to "point shoot RNG repeat" as you put it. This game is meant for those people.
About the only thing I can see that is worth griping about may be the season pass because you do get some really nice things a lot faster than those without it. It does feel like it gives a person a leg up on those without it. Only about level 30 or so in the season pass right now out of the 100 levels myself. In reality it is more of a what is more important to you, your time or money kind of thing.
They made the game free to play, so they do have to still have day one income though. To many gamers these days think making games doesn't cost anything it seems. Overall I would say this xpac has been decent and fun, forsaken was a better, don't think anyone would argue that, but for the companies first foray back into publishing their own game I think it is a step in the right direction.
I did motion capture for Destiny 2 and got paid preeeeetty decently, so I can second this as far as the cast/production goes lol.

yea, that is what people don't seem to understand:
this content drop did NOT end, it actually just started, there are several seasons, and each one will (or at least should) advance that story.
this is why it feels alot shorter than for example forsaken
"I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!"
Dailies rapidly start to feel like a job, and I'm already starting to feel like I'm playing out of obligation mere days in. And it's not like there is sufficient enough variety in the activities to make it feel good.
I prefer Division 2's endgame and I wish they'd do something similar with Destiny. It doesn't hold you back. If you want to play for 10 hours one day, you can make constant progress for the whole 10 hours.
