alright so, i'm rewriting my review for this game because 1. my playcount has increased a lot and 2. i have more things to say

while i do still stand by the fact that the game would be a lot more fun if bungie didn't remove like more than half of the games content, i have an understanding of why they decided to do it (also the game would probably like double in size)

aside from that, i have a lot more experience in the game now after having played almost non-stop since festival of the lost 2022
i can say with certainty that the game is still quite good, very fun if you play with friends

vanguard activities, be it strikes, nightfalls or onslaught, are basically always fun no matter what so that gets a solid 8.5/10 from me
raids and dungeons are also always a heater, even if i'm not a huge fan of raids. still getting an 8/10 from me.

crucible, so iron banner and trials, is where things get a bit iffy for me. for the longest time i HATED the PvP in d2, but as of late i don't mind it as much.
granted, this is because i've actually started to understand what things to bring and when but i still cannot give it a higher than a 6/10 without wanting to crush my balls with a cinderblock.

all in all, i still enjoy the game a lot but i'm not able to give it any higher of a review than last time due to what bungie has been doing as of late.
with that, my score remains at a 7.5/10. with the recent changes in the game, it does feel nicer to play but there's still a LOT that can be worked on before i can genuinely say that it's a good game
