How well does Destiny 2 hold up as an open world game for single players?

I am not very interested in MMOs, but I do like playing single player open world games. Example of open world games I have enjoyed playing are FarCry series, Borderlands series, and Crysis 1.

Poorly. Open world content is very limited and to get full story experience you need to get all DLC and started years ago.

Its neither an open world game nor a single player game. There are open world patrol zones to explore and where activities and other missions take place in but most game time will come from instanced activities with other players.

The game has free to play elements if you want to try it out: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2691498745

If that's what you're looking for then Destiny 2 isn't going to provide anything even close. If you don't mind running around shooting ♥♥♥♥ just for the sake of it 5hen maybe give it a try, I that doesn't appeal youl need to find something else.

You sound like me, and I have a great time in D2.
I used to be big into mmos but now I can't be doing with all the investment.

Run bounce float around collect knick knacks and doodads shoot ♥♥♥♥ up and tick off achievements and such in a gloriously painted universe full of epic fx with no need for human interaction if you don't feel like it.
What's not to like?

Thanks I shall play it for at least a few hours. A family relative has worked at Bungie for several years, so I thought I should support what he does for a living. :)

In Borderlands, you can wander about a map shooting things, open chest, get little side missions.

In Destiny 2, you can, well pretty much the same thing, but the bounties (little side missions) are renewed and changed every day and there are patrols you can pick up from little markers about the map.

I suggest Mez Koo's guide and try the free part to make up your own mind.

I spend most of my time wandering around the patrol zones doing random bounties. Sometimes I do strikes, battle grounds, nightfalls, but a lot of the time I don't feel like dealing with the rush-rush energy level of the group activities.

The game has lots and lots of destinations, lost sectors, random public events, etc. There's plenty to explore without ever joining a fire team (in my opinion).
