Destiny is a pretty fun game. It's got very challenging missions and cool maps. The only thing that stops it from being higher than an 8/10 is the "story."
At the start of the game, we get this cutscene where some astronauts are wandering around Mars. And then, they stumble upon the Traveller, a giant mystical ball which holds a power called Light.
Then, your character is brought back from the dead by a little robot called a Ghost. He tells you to run through the walls of an area known as the Cosmodrome. Then, you steal a ship and escape the Cosmodrome, where a mysterious hooded character is standing around and watching you flee the area. Then, you are taken to the Tower, where a character known as the Speaker says some very vague things, and tells you to go on a mission to fight the Darkness. Then, we embark on a galaxy-wide mission to fight the Darkness with our Light, or whatever. So we jump from planet to planet to fight off the Fallen, the Hive, the Cabal and the Vex until we reach the Black Garden where the Darkness resides, and we have to fight three Vex robots with our Light and guns. Once we kill the robots, the Speaker has this dumb speech about how everything is good again. Then, the hooded character that's been stalking us throughout the game gives us her gun and teleports to her home, or something.
The gameplay of Destiny is solid. I like the open world aspect to it, it really makes the game feel more wide open. I also really like the various factions you have to fight, and my favorite would have to be the Vex. I don't exactly know why they're my favorite, they just are. I also really enjoy the patrol missions, because it really gives you something else to do while not playing through the story. I haven't played any of the raids, because I'd rather continue on with the story rather than play the raids. I have played one of the strikes, but I couldn't get past one area where I had to take down one of the tanks. After awhile, I just quit because it was becoming quite tedious.
And the music of Destiny is amazing, one of the best soundtracks of any video game I've ever played. I even own the digital albums for vanilla Destiny and it's DLC, Rise of Iron. Needless to say, both albums sound great.
So that's my review on Destiny. I really like the game, but if it weren't for the garbage story, I would like it even more.
