The new challenge customization is pretty neat and the story was interesting, but the grind, soft-sunsetting, and Kepler "puzzle" spam ruined the game for me.

It seems that running portal activities aren't advancing my level in the season pass. If they are, it isn't by much. I haven't even completed the season campaign yet, I've been spending a lot of my time in portal activities and the recent Arms week to increase my power level. At the same time I'm supposed to run bounties in the Cosmodrome and Europa etc. to to get my pass rewards. It's a lot to grind and to keep up with. If you don't start the season sweating you just fall farther and father behind. What that means is, if anything becomes broken or cheeses are found, by the time I get to them it's been nerfed or removed so I rarely get a chance to play the power fantasy that others experience. Combine that with matterspark and puzzles, it becomes unbearable. Not to mention, how many different sets of armor do we have to store in the vault? It seems you'll be constantly accumulating armor sets to cover every new meta that comes down the road. First it was grenades and weapons, now it's supers and grenades, it just goes on and on. The portal is such a redundant grind. Not enough matchmaking in fireteam activities. It seems unfinished.
