When I reviewed The Edge of Fate, I had plenty of issues with the new direction Destiny 2 was taking. The expansion itself was… fine—a few highlights, but mostly unremarkable. The more pressing issue was the Portal, the new hub for Destiny 2's seasonal power grind.
Still, I figured I'd give it a chance. Maybe it made a poor first impression. Maybe things would pick up once I started earning better gear. This season, I committed myself to the grind; to finding out if I was wrong, if things weren't as bad as I feared.
