10 Seriously Misjudged Video Game Levels That Almost Made You Stop Playing

10. Destiny 2's Nightfall Strikes & Leviathan Raids

Destiny 2
Bungie

Bungie's latest money-sucking behemoth already feels like it kinda came and went, despite releasing in September. Arriving off the back of coverage stating it now had a campaign worth playing and contained the finest shooting mechanics on Earth, once you're past that initial euphoric rush, what next?

"The endgame content!" scream the devs, as you'll now have access to the Nightfall Strikes and the Leviathan Raid. The former is a weekly-resetting repackage of one of the game's standard strikes, with some terrible optional modifiers attached like time limits or random damage taking chunks out your health bar.

What fun.

Leviathan not only requires that a group of six players all grind through through the game's other identikit content so much they're stretching the limits of the level cap, but once you're inside, objectives range from defending points to identifying symbols or carrying multiple orbs from one place to another. Again, just... what?

Far from thrilling, and memorable for all the wrong reasons, the content Destiny insists is reserved for its "best players" is actually some of the most mind-numbing and pointless filler of the entire game.
