"Unraveling Destiny 2's Unprecedented Year of Storylines and Weekly Mission Controversy"

Destiny 2 concluded its Season of the Wish storyline in an anticlimactic manner, marking the end of a strange year in its storytelling history. The year's content felt like it was not meant to exist, with Lightfall and subsequent seasons inserted to buy time for The Final Shape expansion. The storytelling was criticized for being incoherent and lacking depth, with major plot developments revealed in odd ways and key moments feeling out of place. Despite some good moments, the overall sentiment is that this year's storytelling was largely disappointing.
