The story in the game is praised for its depth and character customization, with a good mix of humor, but many players find it lacking in coherence and overall satisfaction, especially after the main missions. While expansions have added content and improved the experience, the narrative is often described as sparse and repetitive, leading to a grind-heavy gameplay that can feel uninspired. Despite some highlights in gameplay, the story's limited scope and reliance on familiar mission types detract from its potential impact.
- “The storyline is in-depth and amazing, with a huge amount of customization available for your character and a good dose of wit built in.”
- “The story has been expanded and improved with expansion missions and areas since it came out – provided you pay for the DLC, of course – and the overall experience has definitely improved in my opinion.”
- “Got this a few years ago to get the DLC cheaper, and it's very fun to run raids and play through the story with friends.”
- “A repetitive game with not much story and ends up boring quite quickly.”
- “Gameplay is pretty repetitive, the story is bland as hell, and the progression is 'get stronger weapons in the limited types' and 'get stronger armor', with enemies being of a limited list... with the mission types generally being of the 'go here and kill everything', rinse, repeat, go to a new area, do the same thing over and over.”
- “[The story] is somewhat sparse during the vanilla part of the game.”

Overall, it enhances the game's appeal by catering to a wide range of player preferences.
- “Character development is incredibly satisfying, offering potentially hundreds of hours of high-level RPG tinkering and customization.”

The gameplay is characterized by a repetitive structure, where players engage in similar mission types focused on combat and progression through acquiring stronger weapons and armor. While there are hours of gameplay available, the limited enemy variety and bland story detract from the overall experience, making it feel monotonous even when playing with others.
- “Gameplay is pretty repetitive, the story is bland as hell, and the progression is 'get stronger weapons in the limited types' and 'get stronger armor', with enemies being of a limited list... with the mission types generally being of the 'go here and kill everything', rinse, repeat, go to a new area, do the same thing over and over... you can join up with others, but to be honest it doesn't really make any difference (from my experience).”
- “Hours of gameplay, if a little repetitive.”
grinding
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Players note that the game requires significant grinding after completing story missions, though Bungie has introduced various reward systems to enhance the experience. However, some users express frustration over the inconsistency in rewards, particularly when engaging in extensive resource collection during patrols.
- “The game still relies heavily on grinding once the story-based missions are over, but Bungie has come up with more and more ways for you to get rewards for doing so.”
- “I know that gets some people's backs up, especially when you can't get the same rewards through all the endless grinding and resource collection you do while patrolling.”
