Destiny 2 Reviews: 11 Critical Reactions You Need To Know

4. The Loot & Inventory Systems Are Hugely Improved

"The inventory system has also been improved, no longer requiring that you equip your highest-level gear before decrypting Engrams to get the best result. Now it’ll look into your vault, on your other characters, and in your current inventory to be sure you’re getting an optimal drop every time an engram falls, without any of the busywork." - IGN

"Destiny 2’s revamped guns and armour are a sight to behold. While every new gun is like a new toy - the first time I fired Exotic Graviton Forfeit, I felt like someone had plugged me in - you can now fully customise your deadly arsenal. I only had a limited time playing with mods, so time will tell exactly how significantly they change the playstyle of Destiny." - Gamesradar

The loot and inventory systems of the original Destiny were fairly divisive on release, in large part due to advancement requiring an ungodly amount of grinding and luck, to the point that it stopped being fun after a time.

While the full details of endgame loot remain up in the air for now, numerous critics noted that acquiring snazzy new items seemed to entail less busy-work, and a greater focus has been placed on keeping players in the fight rather than constantly sending them off to deal with encrypted engrams and other such nonsense.

The improved customisation of weaponry has also been praised as a substantial improvement, again driving up the already significant incentive to keep playing.
