Destiny 2 is as good as "Games as a Service" can be.
Amazing graphics and optimizations, best gunplay in the genre, a LOT of content to go through, incredible community like no other, activities of all sorts for all kind of players, and of course a buncha frickin' loot

With 700 hours in my pocket, I can safely say Destiny is a good investment of both your time and money, if you decide to buy the expansions, which are totally worth it. Destiny 2 had a rocky start, yes, and maybe the game's problems were not 100 % on Activision's part, but since the "divorce", it seems that Destiny will start being what the developers always wanted it to be.

Destiny is at it best place ever, and bringing new players in such a good time by making the base game free, is a big bran move.
You can play this game solo or with friends.

Or if you are like and don't have friends that play, use Discord to LFG, you won't regret it, the game is exact opposite of dead, so finding matches is a matter of minutes (and if you are Matchmaking inside the game, seconds)

Destiny has problems like any game, but no game is without them, but seeing that Bungie has been doing their best (and listening to their playerbase) to mitigate them gives me hope for the future of the franchise.

Also, for those worried about microtransactions: don't, it is all superfluous and cosmetic stuff that you do not need. Hell, there is an in game currency that will let you buy stuff from the MTX store (called Eververse)

Have fun! And remember, always kill the envoys first before shooting the Primevil.

Update after Beyond Light:

I love this game so much

Update after Lightfall:

Bungie is a horrible company that hates you, but Destiny 2 is still a top-tier experience. I'll ride this train 'till the end, but Bungie can go bankrupt for all I care.
