The title says it all. While Destiny 2 may have been a great game at launch and may still be great for those who went along for the ride these last seven years, it is not great for new players. If you're coming to Destiny 2 fresh--or in my case, after not playing for somewhere between six and seven years--you will be met with the same opening tutorial that was there from day one, but everything after that is a confusing mess of, "What should I do next? What's that thing there? What are all these menus?" and so on. There may be worse examples out there, but Destiny 2 is easily one of the worst games at onboarding new players I've played in years, maybe ever.
