It's alright not so great for younger kids more for adults and teens

First off, let me get one thing out in the open. Yes it's made by Bungie, no it's not Halo. So many people bashing it are saying it's a Halo clone. Ok, so the Ghost = Spark and the Fallen/Hive = Covenant and Flood. That's where the similarities end. The game is aesthetically pleasing. The alien landscapes are great and the detail in some of the levels exceeded my expectations. The multiplayer element adds another layer of complexity and enjoyment. The loot aspect means you have to take time to explore the environments and makes it worth the effort. The story line is rather mundane, but you don't always have to follow it. You can go off and explore or "patrol" as they call it for a while to level up and then come back to the story. I will say that there are certain quests that can feel rather repetitive; especially at the beginning, but once you get off Earth, things pick up quick. the crucible adds a different flavor to the game by letting you compete against other guardians for prestige which can buy you uncommon and rare weapons, armor, etc. Highly recommend it especially for the newcons since there are many games for them yet.

Destiny has probably the best gameplay of any ps4 game. That being said, why didn't I give this a 5? First, the graphics aren't great. There are a lot of other First Person Shooters (FPS) that have better graphics (EX: Medal of honer). Second, the game developers are constantly changing the game. Their goal is upsell you expansion packs. They add all these things and TAKE AWAY things to try and make you pay money for features that you already had. In my opinion, that shouldn't be allowed. It's very annoying. But... if you have a PS4 buy this game, there is nothing else like it.

Too much like wow, time consuming and just not for me

Not a first person shooter for online. should better

This is great and addicting game. Combines the feel of halo with the aspects of a MMORPG. There is one downside, the further you get in the game the more it requires you play with friends to accomplish missions. You can play with a random group but it is very difficult as the content requires a lot of strategy and cooperation. Overall I had a lot of fun and spent a lot of hours but a lot of my friends were playing too which is what made the experience what bungie intended.

I do love this game, from the customization to the game's fluid FPS mechanics. But, if you are the type of person who needs to reach a game's highest level, you will find yourself grinding for hours on end. This game requires luck more so often than skill. You rely on a lottery-like system in hopes of acquiring equipment that will give you lots of "light" to level up. Soon, you will find yourself not caring about how your character looks, but only caring about the amount of light a piece of armor gives you. The story itself is a joke. Get from point A to point B with repetitive "defend the little flying robot called 'Ghost' from the waves and waves AND WAVES of bad guys." The game attempts to make people go back to their stories with "daily events" in order to; you guessed it, have a chance at legendary armor. The multiplayer experience of this game is quite fun. Reminiscent of Halo mechanics, and making the player feel rewarded from completing his "bounties". Despite the amount of grinding required to reach a high level, playing with friends in strikes is really a great coop experience like none other.

Take the sci-fi stylings of Halo, the gameplay of Call of Duty and the RPG and social aspects of World of Warcraft and you have Destiny. Keep in mind, there are no separate online and offline modes and you must have an always online connection to play this game. It's a shared world shooter and random players will coexist in your area taking care of their own objectives but gameplay is set up where the presence of others will only help and not hinder your progress. Friends online can drop in and out of your three-man fireteam at will. The story portion is brief leaving Bungie plenty of room to open it up in the forthcoming DLC expansions, but stick with it until your character is at level 20 for the real game to start. That is where the majority of the Strikes, hunt for and leveling up of weapons and armor and the Bounties will begin. The beginning of its depth is realized here but you'll have to devote considerable time first before noticing it.

Great online play, different gameplay from other shooters. The expansion pack is well worth is as well

More casual friendly than most FPS like COD and BF4. Those titles are centered purely around PVP -- Campaigns are minimal. Destiny is an RPG and FPS combo. You level up your player and via abilities and gear upgrades. For me this works well, because PVP is too difficult in FPS as a casual player. Destiny's focus is around running PVE missions -- repeatedly -- to level up and find loot. I've tried the PVP games and not surprisingly I get drilled like in COD. I've found the game a ton of fun after 10 hours of play.It's possible it hits a wall at max level (L20) and feels grindy but at this point I'm having fun and running missions repeatedly allows me to get better at them and run them faster. I did find co-op play more fun than solo but there doesn't seem to be a mechanism to form random groups. Adding that would be a good enhancement. Lots of opportunity for Bungie to release new content over time. Bottom line: I'll get my money's worth of playtime with this title and it's been a while since I found a title like that.

I play this game every single day. It is hard to put it down. I actually got the deluxe edition with the expansion pack(s). It is great that you can play this with other friends who has this game. The story is beautiful, the strikes are fun, and the Raids are challenging. They made the game in such a way, that there is always something more to accomplish. You are never quite done with the game. LOVE IT !!

This is a great game at first. A vast world with seemingly infinite possibilities lies before you! The only problem is that once the story line was over, I felt like there was almost no purpose to the game as it took days to climb the ranks of the different factions. The gameplay is fun and exciting, but it definitely fizzes out quickly.

Destiny is a fantastic game...especially with a nice set of head-phones. If I could change anything, it would be to have the ability to stop the game for a day and to return to the exact position...where it stopped. Having to go back and start over each time the player quits for a bit...is a tad on the boring side.The ability to save a players progress would be a great option.

bought it because I convinced my friend to buy a wii u so I agreed to buy this and play with him. I've been playing for almost 2 weeks and the story is pretty non-existent. The missions are repetitive. shoot aliens, wander around till you find more aliens to shoot, scan something (and listen to a bunch of gibberish of what's happening during the scan) and survive a couple of waves of aliens until the scan is done. repeat. At least the costumes are cool, the controls are responsive, and there's enough people playing to be able to find online matches and stuff, but to me the game lacks any real character and variety so I don't understand why it has 1600 5-star reviews

I have never played such an addicting game, it will literally be the one game you can never stop playing. The game play completely changes into a whole new riveting game once you reach the higher levels. I have every game worth buying for the new console and I still play this game more than any other game. This game is a necessity to all gamers!

My first ps4 game... Graphics were stunning and the game looked great. Spent a few weeks playing it, and was left a bit disappointed. This game could have been so much better if it had a proper story. It is too repetitive for my liking.

Pros: fun fast paced action. Great multiplayer for both coop and competitive play. Decent balancing system for the above mentioned. Straightforward level system that is easy to put together. Cons: hidden loading screens for almost everything you do. Can not skip cut scenes even if you already beat the level. Limits on what you can earn in a given week. Very weak storyline, and bad voice acting. Low framerate (i've watched a person punch me 4 consecutive times in pvp before it registered that i had already kill them) All in all I highly recommend this game, most of the cons can be looked over except the constant loading screens and sometimes the framerate in pvp.

I got this game kinda late, but I love it! Had many friends recommend it to me so I thought I try it out since I just bought the PS4. Love the game play, and the story line to it. Love the character customization and how you can pick your classes. Leveling up is fun too, you can even have your friends help you!

Destiny is a very good game, but not a great game. It has amazing visuals and fun gameplay but the story leaves a lot to be desired. The missions and other gameplay modes start to get repetitive after the story is completed. The game gets very grindy when you reach level 20, requiring you to do many of the same missions and modes over and over again in order to get better weapons and gear. Even with all these negatives though, it's stil a fun game to play, especially with friends. I just wished they spent more time with actual story content and mission/mode variety.

This is basically a MMORPG like World of Warcraft with guns. You get quests, you get loot. They add free content to it occasionally, but for the big things you have to buy expansions. Good game, but kind of lacks content without the expansions.
