    Destiny isn’t a sci-fi game with big ideas or interesting characters like SOMA or Mass Effect but rather a mechanically excellent first-person-shooter that doubles as a virtual community center where you perform activities with friends or engage in pick-up games with strangers.

    Slowly but surely, Bungie is morphing this chimera of a game into something more presentable.

    The hardcore Destiny fan will most likely have already bought this without a thought as the game becomes fairly unplayable if you don’t. The more discerning that haven’t already sold or tried Destiny and looking to see if it’s worth trying or going back for this I’d say wait for a discount and then pick it up because it is definitely worth playing.

    All the changes and additions are for the best, and a great step forward for Destiny in general, but they come at a price – both literally and figuratively.
