Aggressively Casual is back with Season 2, Episode 5 — and yeah, we’re talking Destiny 2: Renegades. Not a review. Not a hype train. Just the good, the bad, and the “why does this feel like it was designed in a meeting?” in-between.

Renegades has moments where it hits… and moments where Bungie makes you remember you’ve been in this relationship for a decade. We break down what’s working, what’s not, what we’re worried about, and what we secretly want to love anyway.

In this episode:

  • The Good: what Renegades actually nails (when it decides to)
  • The Bad: the pain points, the red flags, the “who approved this” choices
  • The In-Between: stuff that could be great… if Bungie doesn’t Bungie it
  • Our honest vibe check: are we excited, exhausted, or both?

If you’re a long-time Guardian, a lapsed “maybe I’ll come back” player, or someone who just likes hearing people rant with purpose — you’re in the right place.
