About

Everything changed with the arrival of the Traveler. It sparked a Golden Age when our civilization spanned the solar system ... but it didn't last. Something hit us, knocked us down. The survivors built a city beneath the Traveler, and have begun to explore our old worlds, only to find them filled with deadly foes. In Destiny, you are a Guardian of the last safe city on Earth, able to wield incredible power. Defend the City. Defeat our enemies. Reclaim all that we have lost.

    Overall, Destiny is certainly an enjoyable RPG-based shooter, with its only fault being that there just wasn’t enough primary content and story to fulfill the single-player elements of the game. For anyone who is a Halo fan, you will certainly feel at home in the game, especially in the multiplayer aspects – which you can easily lose yourself in for hours at a time. Bungie took careful care to craft what was released at launch, and while some aspects (voice acting, for example) can be a bit dry, the game is truly enjoyable.

    The competitive multiplayer, despite being a tad unbalanced, is still fun and provides some truly great moments among friends. It’s unlikely the Destiny of today will be the same Destiny we’re playing in a few weeks or months, but the reality of the matter is the Destiny of today isn’t all that amazing. It has moments, sure, but right now Destiny relies too much on promise, and not enough on delivering.

    "Destiny" is a landmark experience. The quality of life and "game as a service" features weren't perfect, but the core gameplay, story, visuals, and exciting moments are outstanding. Few things are more satisfying than teaming up with friends to take on the dynamic and unique raids or PVP matches. Great stuff, and worth exploring even though the game is no longer actively updated.
