Whether it be the result of a (un)intended design decision, budget constraints (not likely), strict deadlines or something else entirely, Destiny can often feel awfully disjointed.

While technically open world, each of its planets, social spaces and end-game raids are cordoned off from each other by menus and loading screens, diluting its desired image as a galaxy-spanning tour de force down to a series of instances that exist in a vacuum, removed from everything (and everyone) else.

Obviously, nobody wants to spend years of their life piloting a ship from Earth to Venus or some other far-flung celestial body, but an increased focus on interconnectivity wouldn't go amiss. Integrating Strikes and story missions into each sandbox map would go a long way to remedying that feeling, as too would a reduction in loading times.

When I log into Destiny 2, the last thing I want to do is spend five minutes staring at a ship flitting through space before actually experiencing any gameplay.
