The verdict
A top-tier looter shooter with superb gunplay, raids and co-op, but hurt by vaulted paid content, pricey DLC and a confusing start. Skip if you're a solo newcomer, or play from Russia/CIS or Linux.
Great for
Friends who want raids, dungeons and build-crafting with top gunplay, and returning players ready for unvaulted content
Main risk
Vaulted story, confusing onboarding and paywalled DLC leave new players lost; CIS and Linux can't play
What changed in the last 30 days
155 recent reviews
Recent reviews cite Bungie's announced restoration of vaulted content, bringing back returning fans. Others remain angry over the CIS TAPIR block, Linux/BattlEye exclusion and connection errors.
