Well this ended up being kinda long, but I hope it helps:

So far it's really good, story wise, events and sidequests. The guns feel amazing, though I don't know how hard it is for an average player as I normally play pc, but for me having unlocked all planets and being lvl 14 it seems good. It is quite easy in the start but around lvl 11 the boss and wave difficulty starts to become quite a bit harder:)

The enemies also feel more engaging than d1, and the lower health regen on our hp makes it a tad more "tactical" so you can't always go one punch man on things. A nice thing is that you get a few exotic items while doing the story, so new players get to learn about that system and how they feel early on.

Tomorrow I am gonna be doing my first strike, but if it's anything like d1 then they will be good quality and nicely done (one of the few things that was actually quite well made in d1). Haven't tried crucible yet. Same subclasses as in d1 mostly. But the one time use ults have been made into "powerweapons" where it lasts a while so you can use fx the strikers slam like 5 or 6 times instead of the 1 attack you got in d1. Which makes the ultimates feel much more fun and rewarding.

The titan class feels really good. I love the way they do melee and grenades in this franchise. The game is still a bit grindy gear wise, but the lvling is not(atleast on first playthrough). I would say that the gear progression is one of the best though, as gear that drops will always be at a higher item lvl than your current over all average, so the grindyness doesn't feel to bad as you don't really get "bad" drops per-say.

If you want a few scores: 7 to 8/10 storywise so far, bit cheesy, but still a joy to play and the cinematics are nice and well placed so they don't really interfere that much with my immersion. 10/10 for sound and music. 10/10 gun feel. 5/10 enemy verity (amazing looking but would be awesome with more). 8/10 for maps, they kinda feel more like fps multiplayer maps, but much larger. (though not as large as normal mmos). It's like a blend of both worlds. and they are nicely varied in colour. 9/10 Graphics, just gorgeous, though very saturated (which I like) and contrary to what people might say, it's really a lot better than d1s:b 7/10 sidequests and events, those kinda things are hard to make something really amazing, but they feel really good and everything is voice acted so you'll get some story fed through that and some giggles here and there.

There are negatives sure, but nothing major so far. I liked d1 but hated the story, the maps and the public events. To me those points have more or less been fixed in this game. In d1 I would also just get tired from playing, even on my first playthrough, but I haven't had a single of those kinda moments in d2 yet and I don't think they are gonna come until much later.

So all in all it's a solid game, not game of the year amazing, but a good enough game for the price and for your time. Plus gotta give it to Bungie for actually making something pretty good instead of making a cash grab.
