Destiny 2: Warmind is the second expansion to Destiny 2 – a mix of shooter and MMO title. The DLC takes us to Mars, offering new storyline, quests and enemy faction.
Destiny 2: Gods of Mars is another expansion for PC, PS4 and XONE’s version of Destiny 2, a multiplayer-focused game of Bungie studio (known e.g. for its Halo series). It is a non-standalone expansion and requires not only the base game, but also the previous expansion, Curse of Osiris.
Plot
The story of Destiny 2: Gods of Mars revolves around another awakening of AI Charlemagne – a Warmind located on Mars, which was originally planned to appear in the first game. It leads to entrapment of Rasputin – its counterpart on Earth – in ancient vault. Players must cooperate with Ana Bray to defeat Remnants controlled by Charlemagne and free the imprisoned artificial intelligence.
Game mechanics
Destiny 2: Gods of Mars does not add any new mechanics or other fresh elements to gameplay. Instead, it focuses on giving Destiny 2’s players new yet familiar content. There are more story quests, adventures, maps for PvP mode and cooperative activities, e.g. assaults and public events (including heroics ones). The biggest novelty comes from the new type of enemies for the series – Remnants. Taking part in the game will reward players with equipment, including more exotic weapons and armors.
Technical aspects
As far as technical matters go, Destiny 2: Gods of Mars isn’t any different from the base version of the game.

When it's all said and done Warmind left me feeling mixed.

Now that we're a month into Warmind's release, the question of whether it holds up largely depends on the kind of Destiny player you are. If the recent reveal of Forsaken has you itching to play Destiny 2 again, and you're not already roped into the Season 1 expansion pass anyway, then sure, grab Warmind as it will give you access to more events to keep you busy over the summer.

Unfair rewards and poor balancing make Warmind seem like a step back.
