    This game continues to be the greatest "shooter-MMO" to this day yet not receiving any updates since 2017. Taken King and Rise of Iron fixed many issues that the game had at launch and as it sits right now, anyone can hop in and have one of the most enjoyable experiences in the genre. The raids are unforgettable, the strike playlist with rotating modifiers are beyond enjoyable and theThis game continues to be the greatest "shooter-MMO" to this day yet not receiving any updates since 2017. Taken King and Rise of Iron fixed many issues that the game had at launch and as it sits right now, anyone can hop in and have one of the most enjoyable experiences in the genre. The raids are unforgettable, the strike playlist with rotating modifiers are beyond enjoyable and the weapon / ability sandbox tuning that was left the way it was remains close to perfect.

    The only faults that this game has is the unfortunate state that PvP was left in with how ammo economy functions. But if you're looking for a solely PvE game, then this one is a perfect 10/10 ignoring the issues plaguing PvP.

    Destiny 2 has improved drastically on a lot of issues that Destiny 1 had, but it still fails to be as fun and replayable as Destiny 1 once was. One of my favorite games of all time.

    The score reflects how the game currently is as of 6/12/2023.

    The Destiny marathon of reviews begins with Destiny or as I like to call it: Destiny: The First Chapter. The First Chapter is what started it all for this series with great gameplay, beautiful graphics, a intriguing story, engaging characters, and overall, a great way to kick off Destiny into what it is today.

    I was excited to jump back into the game after 8 years and wanted to play the expansions I never did back in the day.

No fix ETA and it's obviously not a high priority to them. The game honestly should not be for sale in the store right now, let alone for €60. Buyer beware!! Just wait for an official fix if you want to play the game. Posting this here to bring awareness Expand

    Destiny is a first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie and published by Activision.

    + Fun Gameplay
    + Online Modes
    - Forgettable and Bland Story
    - Forgettable Characters
    - Bad Lore
    - Repetitive

    This game came out with nothing, but the friends I had at the time to play with made this game everything it could be. Some of the funniest times I ever had were on this game so even if this game was soulless.

    Not much as done at launch. Bungie, however, has since changed it into a worthwhile experience.

    This game is just really boring and tedious. Story is forgettable and gunplay is average. Did not have fun with this disappointment of a video game.

    It's Bungie, that's for sure. They made the **** Halo tp Halo Reach games that are as **** as Destiny. This studio just can't make good games.

    Destiny is not a perfect game. What destiny is is an incredible gaming experience. It has a foundation that lays down the possibility for incredible future. From the incredible landscapes, the world building, incredible musical score and ambience. Like any young platform and has its weaknesses and has what I believe to be an incredible experience for years to come.

    One of the best multiplayer only shooters on the market. Would highly recommend. Great gunplay, Great challenging boss fights to encounter, competitive multiplayer the crucible is a blast to play. Overall a great fun multiplayer first person shooter from Bungie

    I’m struggling with this review. On the one hand I’ve put more time into this game then anything else I’ve played. The first months playing this were the reason I got back into video games, going into the vault of glass or doing the weekly strikes with friends was some of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had.

The first months playing this were the reason I got back into video games, going into the vault of glass or doing the weekly strikes with friends was some of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had. Then it gets worse much worse. I continued to play almost until the end. Some of the new raids were ok, but just felt so meaningless. Destiny was never known for its story, but wow is it ever bad. I feel obligated to give it a good review as I had so much fun with it for a long time, but it probably doesn’t deserve this rating because of the bad dlc content. The base game is what I remember and what I enjoyed. Expand

    Great game. Still has flaws though, I recommend if you’re playing from 2020 minutes onward you should get a mic and learn the raids if you want hundreds of hours of replay ability

    It's been 6 years since Destiny came out. Back then, the trailer flashed me straight away.
    The fact that the content of the trailer was only fully available a year later and the graphics were worse as promised is a reason for the new rating for me. A lot had been promised but little had been kept.

    The game started out rough but as they continued to update the game it gotten better than the last. This one was the best they could do, there was no need for a destiny 2, two was a half baked idea and a cash grab that only a few can see that. Overall Destiny 1 is good just wish they didn't stop events like trials and iron banner.

    Vanilla Destiny is weird. It has amazing gameplay and good visuals. But there is literally no story, no characters and missions are just horrible. It has potential, but that potential isn't used in the vanilla Destiny.

    It was a good game to play with friends online, the pve and pvp were fun but after sometime the pve felt a little repetitive

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Many people who give this a negative review or a mixed review are very crazy. I hate the feeling I get while thinking about their words. Thinking about one sentence or possibly even one word the Destiny haters typed will make me think the same. Forgetting about the things they typed is difficult. Not another word about them. This game is not bad at all in my opinion. Almost everything, if not then everything about the game is fantastic. I can't think about not playing it. Expand

    A promising game to drive the looter shooter genre to greater heights following the success of Borderlands 2. Unfortunately, it failed miserably. Nice paywall. Boring grind. Just a bad gaming experience.

    Fue uno de los juegos que mas espere desde que lo anunciaron, me gusto mucho la jugabilidad, la historia, pero la cagaron cuando sacaron las expansiones, sobre todo en el apartado del multiplayer, ya que prácticamente nos obligaban a comprarla al quitarle menos modos de juegos para los jugadores que no tenían las expansiones. Es decir, el 80% de los modos de juegos se podían acceder siFue uno de los juegos que mas espere desde que lo anunciaron, me gusto mucho la jugabilidad, la historia, pero la cagaron cuando sacaron las expansiones, sobre todo en el apartado del multiplayer, ya que prácticamente nos obligaban a comprarla al quitarle menos modos de juegos para los jugadores que no tenían las expansiones.

    Although Destiny isn't the brilliant start to a franchise that many had hoped for, it's a great game for those who can push through its flaws and enjoy the ride.

    What is most amazing of all is that despite its litany of weird little problems, Destiny is fantastic, its combat up there with the very best, the thrilling rhythm of its battles still not fading the 30th time through, and it has no single systemic problem that is not fixable. [Dec 2014, p.106]

    Destiny is a flawed but still extremely fun first person shooter. While the Destiny universe itself seems intriguing, the storyline is told in such an incoherent manner that it's hard not to be turned off by all the technobabble. Fortunately the co-op shooter mechanics are absolutely perfect. The loot system can be maddening, but in a way it adds to the game's addictiveness. [Oct 2014]
