Season of [REDACTED] is right around the corner, but what can the past year of Destiny 2 teach us about what to expect in the coming seasons of Beyond Light? It’s almost February, and that means the shine has started to wear off of Destiny 2: Beyond Light. The expansion made a good first impression, […]
Strip-mining the galaxy has never been so satisfying
Dyson Sphere Program is a PC game about strip-mining a planetary system, and it turns out that ransacking planets for their sweet, sweet minerals in order to make a power source for a supercomputer really makes the real-world hours fly by.

Why Destiny 2’s newest secret mission fails to capture the magic of The Whisper quest
Secrets are the lifeblood of Destiny.
