10 Times Video Game Critics Got It Wrong

10. Destiny 2

Metacritic Score: 8.5

User Score: 4.9

Nobody likes Destiny 2 more than the critics.

Upon launch (and even now to some extent), Destiny 2 was considered to be one of the emptiest experiences this generation, with no massive improvements over the original game, and nothing really placing it above any game out at the time.

Unlike the first Destiny, which still managed to have a large and devoted fanbase, Destiny 2 was mostly rejected by those same people. Destiny 2 was labled as boring, unfulfilling and a grind. That's not even mentioning how bad the randomised loot had gotten.

Yet, despite all of this, Destiny 2 still managed to get some pretty great reviews from critics all over. Eights and nines all over, with only a few critics giving it mediocre scores.

For a game that's generally regarded as Destiny 1.5, how the critics gave it better reviews is a mystery. It seems like many were blinded by it's production values.
