Customer Ratings & Reviews

So let me start off this review by saying I got this game having never liked Halo, Sci-fi or played MMOs (only watched livestreams of them). I debated whether to get this game or not. My friend told me to get it, so I did. The graphics looked nice, and I needed something different to try. After putting in several hours in the game, there's a lot to be desired. The story is confusing and lacks that "grab" you hope for in ANY story (ie: The Last of Us, Uncharted series, etc). The missions are very repetitive. You go into a mission, go to the place you need to get while shooting a few enemies, deploy your ghost so it can pick up some intel and while it does that you are shooting through a few waves of enemies. Every mission. Every planet. Same idea. Also, being a huge eSports fan and follower, I hoped this game would be THE game to finally battle Call of Duty in shooters. Will you see it in ANY competitive format as of right now? NO! Why? There are no private sessions. You cannot hear or talk to your teammates in an online game and you can only have 3 people in your party (aka Fireteam) to play 6v6 maps so you're always stuck with 3 randoms. For being marketed as this MMO-like game with a great focus on "social features", how do you miss something like that? Do you know how frustrating it is to play Control and try to call out to your teammates but can't communicate to anybody? Also the load times are atrocious. Anyway....those are just my main gripes. I do like this game, though and am glad I picked it up. With friends, this is a lot of fun. The multiplayer gameplay is roughly the same as CoD or any other FPS out there. The melee kills and Super Power kills are quite satisfying. The different types of modes is rather lackluster, but still an okay variety. The graphics in my opinion are GORGEOUS. I'm not sure why anybody would knock the graphics. The loot system is pretty good. All-in-all, I can't put the game down (especially when friends are online), but I am really hoping I don't get bored before the expansion pack comes or I won't get that. I'm also hoping Bungie does something quick before Call of Duty comes out and people switch back over. This game has great potential and is fun but is missing quite a bit that should've been "obvious" features for what they hyped it up to be.

This game was actually better than expected! I just can not get enough of this game, it is well built and the multiplayer is really awesome. I definitely recommend this game to any one who wants either close to or about the same experience of halo but for the PS4!

Do you like pvp?Did you play halo pvp for months? Well this might be good for you. Want a story? Want to explore and big open world? Well go somewhere else. There are only 4 maps and you see all thats on them in 2 hours each easy. The story is almost non existent. Like 3 cut scenes and thats it. There is no conclusion at the end of the game. If you are looking for a scifi skyrim or GTA you will be HUGELY disappointed. The game is hugely repetitive you are constantly go to the exact same spot on the map to do a short mission again and again. And when you finish doing the SHORT campaign you are left to do pvp or replay the same missions over and over to try and get better equipment. Its very MMO grindy except that as a fps you never actually see your character except on loading screens or in the tower. So trying to get cool armor or weapons is not nearly as rewarding. Halo might have had a short campaign but it had characters, plot, a conclusion. Not to mention the gameplay along the way was all scripted. Here there is basically no chracters, no story, no conclusion and even thought the campaign is still so short its not scripted either. Its MMO style. These exact enemies will be at these exact spots always and respawn every 60 seconds or so. All they do is vary which enemies are in the last few mission rooms. And that usually just a difference of what "boss" is there this time. (and boss usually just means they took the normal enemy changed their name to gold and gave them a custom helmet or something)

I'm level 29 so I've seen about all this game has to offer. Game is worth the money but it has flaws. If you don't have friends end game probably won't be much fun as there is no matchmaking for the high end activities. Lots of grinding to level up gear also awaits you. Why is the d-pad bound with useless emotes instead of ammo packs or the ability to swap guns? That said, the actual gameplay is fun and there is a solid base here for Bungie to grow the game into something better.

Grind. Grind. Grind some more. Quit for a week out of anger. Grind again. Repeat. The first expansion was lackluster at best. The House of Wolves totally redeemed the Dark Below. Hopefully The Taken King will be even better.

I personally enjoy this game despite what what critics say. However, I will be honest. Destiny's environments look amazing on PS4 and it's a decent shooter; I'd just wish the story and mission diversity were just as good. Multilayer is pretty fun too and reminds me of Unreal Tournament, but there needs to be a way at least avoid dying from a super as once a player achieves it, everyone around him/her is dead.

This is a must play video game for anyone that is a FPS fan. However, I am not sure how long one will want to keep playing once the main story event is completed. I found the grinding to level up got dull and the rewards were not different enough to entertain me. I felt like the variety f weapons was lacking, not seeing too much of a difference between upgraded ones in my experience with them. I played this game for a few weeks and then just felt like I had had enough.

Great game with a very involved story line, love the graphics and motion on the PS4 though I have to fight with my kids for more time on the console :-)

Awesome game! The graphics are beautiful, the multi-player aspect and free roam blend seamlessly, there are TONS of things to do, collect, and fight for! Definitely what you would expect from a new age MMO FPS. Don't forget though, this is meant to be a "10YeaR" game meaning the content is no where NEAR complete. There is already a scheduled DLC drop in Dec to expand on the story, unlock new events, and new raids for High level raging!

This game is awesome. I picked it up last Tuesday and have hardly put it down since. Bungie created an awesome new IP that I hope will see years worth of expansions and additional content. First and foremost, this game is a shooter, and it makes no excuses for that. The gunplay is solid, smart, and addictive, much like Halo of old. Enemies are smart and challenging, each race bringing their own strategy and tactics, and can be brutally effective on the higher difficulties. While the game is a bit light on loot at first, after you gain a few levels you'll see more and more drop. The endgame for Destiny is a lot like Diablo in that once you hit the level cap you're really just starting a new adventure. Legendaries unlock after lvl 20, and you must grind and farm to find better and better gear to raise your level past 20 by finding gear that has +Light. This means you'll end up playing missions over and over. For some people this may be a problem, i can see how you could get bored easily, but personally i've run several missions through again and again and each time i find a new way to get through them more efficiently, and with added difficulty the strategy you used before may not work as well as before. Destiny is a must try if you are on the fence, but i highly recommend it!

Yes this game is built on being an online multiplayer game but even with that, there's very little substance after the first few hours after you unlock all the planets. There's literally already planets that you can see in the menu that you can't access because they're saving it for the expansion packs. If you can get this game for arouns $20 then I'd recommend it but for a full price game you're only getting about 1/4 of an actual story mode. The rest of the game is just repetitive quest to try an gain more loot so you can rank up to do quest that will gain you more loot. VS multiplayer is solid but wasn't strong enough to keep me playing.

This is simple! Destiny lives up to the hype 150% This game is simply amazing! The graphics are awesome! The amount of time put into this game shows all the way through! You will NOT get quality like this in a game such as COD. There is simply no comparison! This is BY FAR easily the best game of the year. It will be along time before we get a new game on next gen that will beat Destiny! The game play no matter what you are playing (story, co op, online multi, patrol, fire strikes, raids) is untouchable by any other game on next gen right now! ..The music played while in a heavy gun battle is an awesome touch to the game, makes things very intense! I like how you can randomly help other people that are in the same planet as you, even if your not playing online you still see everyone else in the lands and at the tower, which is very cool IMO! People are comparing this game to Borderlands and Halo. If I was to choose 2 games that i have personally played (and love by the way) they would have to be, one of my favorite games of all time Borderlands and DC Universe. The only Halo aspect of this game I get is the enemies, and a few of the weapons maybe, other then that it is a completely different BETTER game then Halo! All in all, this is absolutely a MUST BUY for anyone who hasn't done so yet. There is enough content here to keep you busy, and interested, for hours and hours. The intense game play will suck you in and before you know it you will be addicted! GO BUY IT!

Love this game. I wouldn't call myself a gamer since Ive only played a couple games but I totally recommend! VERY actiony. So if you love action this is your game

This is a lot of fun. Just be aware that you have to play online. Unfortunately, there is no single player story mode.

This game isn't for everyone, but it has an active community and is perfect for fans of Borderlands, Diablo, and Phantasy Star Online.

This is a great game! Love the graphics and scenes I play with my friends all the time. Can't stop playing.

The game can get frustrating at times but overall the mechanics are fun and the graphics are awesome.

As a casual gamer that plays games maybe 1-3 hrs a week max, I'd have to say I enjoyed the gameplay but was not impressed with the graphics. The game itself is fun, and from what I could tell is very robust. I can see why hardcore gamers are anticipating this release. I could tell a lot of work has gone into making this game. Activision should be very proud as it will provide an ultimate gaming experience for years to come. With that being said, as heavily marketed this game has been and the amount of anticipation for its release, I was not impressed with the graphics. For this to be a monumental release for the new generation consoles, I was expecting to be floored with stunning visuals. Let me reiterate a previous statement, I'm a casual gamer that just upgraded to a PS4. In my experience, the game looked no different from games I played on my PS3 and that's disappointing. Other than that, the gameplay is very enjoyable and I recommend purchasing the game upon its release.

All around good game. Graphics are good, game play is easy to comprehend, and the multiplayer is solid. My biggest complaint is the repetitiveness of this game. I feel like I'm playing another Diablo, just grinding for new gear. Decided that I am going to wait for some DLC to come out before I dive too much further in to this game.

If you like the Halo/Call of Duty type games mixed with Borderlands leveling-up/loot finding role playing, then you will like this game. Story is kinda boring, but the action of the game is where it shines.
