Overall, Breakpoint thus far feels like a collage of mechanics reminiscent of other Ubisoft titles and struggles to create its own identity.

Destiny 2 has had a hectic week, between Bungie’s split from Activision and the switch from the Battlenet Launcher to Steam.

The game’s intro has changed as well; players now create their character and play an intro reminiscent of the first game before going directly to the main hub. Old missions are still available by talking to Amanda Holiday in the hub area.
