The game looks good. The story is really short and the grinding can get cumbersome after awhile but is a good game.

The story is kind of boring but the online play is a lot of fun. If you liked playing Halo you will like this game.

Amazing and Incredible. I can't wait for the upcoming new DLC next month. My cousins and I play everyday and we can't get enough of it.
Great Single and multiplayer experience. Not a quick to the finish game. More of a journey which will have some ups and downs and will require some patience on your part. Very satisfying and quite epic! Lots and Lots of guns! And love the co-op style of game play that lets you truly enjoy the journey with the one's your playing with. Give this a try, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPOINTED!

Destiny is a wonderful game to play, and I find it hard to put down. From the social interaction to the community of players itself, it is one of the best online cooperative games I have played. The mechanics of the game are great, which I expected considering it's the same company that created the Halo series, but that's where it stopped. The story it's self leaves a lot to be desired, but maybe this could be fleshed out more in upcoming updates and dlc. Also the loot system is a little broke in my opinion. In other shoot and loot games you are rewarded pretty regularly for the time you put in, but with Destiny it seems the rewards are a lot fewer and far between. If it wasn't for the solid game play it would make the experience and leveling more of a nightmare. Overall this is a great game and I find myself coming back to it time and time again for the game play and the great social interactions that I have experienced ever since it was released. A wonderful masterpiece albeit it's loot system and story. Something you and your friends can continue to play for a long time to come.

I played mostly solo. The shooting feels great. The story is just awful and the story missions are just really bland and repetitive. Not a lot of content in this game either unless you replay the same missions over and over. The crucible was pretty fun. Overall, if you have some friends that play it it might be worth it but i got kinda bored playing solo or with randoms.

I bought this game right before the Taken King came out since it was on sale. The game is fun and a bit different than other FPS in the way that you work with/run into other players during the game. This becomes annoying when you just started playing and roll up on someone who is a higher level than you and you get destroyed by the baddies that they are fighting. Other than that it is a game worth checking out if you can pick it up on discount.

Spoken in the view of a PC gamer first & foremost:
This is a great game. There are minor issues here & there that people turn into a big deal. However, this being a new franchise, let alone game, that should be expected. As it stands, Bungie is actively listening to their community and actively patching the game. I'm not a console, or Bungie "fanboy", as I am first and foremost a PC gamer for years. That said, this game I give 5 stars, appreciating the craftsmanship of, and issues that arise with, a new franchise.
Pros:
- Feature-rich
- Great story (SP & MP ability)
- High replay-ability
- Create characters from the skin out
- Ongoing communication from a great developer
- Enemies aren't ALL dumb.
Cons:
- Story is fairly repetitive. If played on a regular basis, this could get boring.
- Matchmaking could be better in Crucible
- Weapons could be a little more balanced
- Need to improve voice comm. (add voice with entire team in Crucible even if not in fireteam - but also add mute function)
Overall, this is a great game, that will only get better!

I really really like this game. I play it as often as I can. It does get a bit tedious and repetitive and gaining the necessary materials to upgrade a weapon can just be a hassle. I was the first person to by this game and it took some convincing to get my friends to buy it since the reviews by critics werent to good. They started to buy and we started to play. Being able to progress through the story mode with friends is a cool feature. The raids that you can do with 6 people are the best.

Best game of 2k14 so far! Love how it's such an open world. I hate how everyone is trying to compare it to Borderlands & Helo.. Helo is understandable but In all honesty it's, it's own game! Multiplayer is spot on from just meeting in the Tower with random players to team up or just to meet some friends! Customizing of your character is pretty nice, as far as you can either purchase new armor/weapons or you can do missions and earn as rewards. but it does lack in the weapon customization department.. what you have is what you get. You can't throw a scoop on a regular assault rifle for more range, or you can't decide if you want an extended clip on a sniper rifle.. they basically added all that into the armor /weapons upgrade which is fairly basic.. & for the campaign it can be a little bit sluggish and it feels like you're going in a circle with it, but it's made up by the awesome bosses at the end which some gives a challenge & the ability to have randoms/friends help you out with them!
There's so much to the game I could go all day.. but if you haven't picked it up yet I would definitely go & make that move & get a copy!

A FPS with a dash of MMO thrown in works out pretty well. While the RPG-like leveling invariable makes competitive multiplayer rather frustrating at times, Lv. 6 players going up against Lv. 18, the quest for better loot makes the game quite addictive. On the technical side, the game is very impressive without a hint of slowdown even during the the most chaotic battles. There have been a few occasions of texture pop-in, but they are very few and far between.
Where the game struggles mightily is in its story telling and world building. The generic names for every faction gives you a good idea about everything else: it’s all so generic. Despite how gorgeous the visuals are, there really isn’t anything very distinctive about them. Despite the use of wonderful actors, the dialogue is mundane exposition and eye roll-inducing portents of doom. Maybe the story will get more interesting later, but in the early stages, it serves as merely some downtime for you to catch your breath from the last firefight.

...with slightly less content than desired. The game mechanics are great, Multiplayer is satisfying-- altogether it's a great game. The initial hook is lackluster and not flashy, but I found myself wanting to go back again and again, so I know it's got a grip on me. Endgame content does have a bit of a grind, so I've cooled off a bit on it, but I keep wanting to go back for weekly and monthly events, and await the DLC eagerly.

The story is terrible, gameplay gets boring as you try to level up. The best part of it is the end game. Once you level up you can do raids to get better gear and level up over 20. All I can say is I am glad I didn't pay for this. I waited until it was a bonus item for buying the PS4 and picked it up. Otherwise it wouldn't be worth paying for.

Overall, this game is pretty awesome. Story is a bit lacking and the levels get pretty redundant. However, all the excitement lies within the multiplayer and the character customization. Gear, weapons, and the pleasures of multiplayer and leveling up make this game worth while.

Game is fun and always challenging. Don't expect to do more stuff unless you get the playstation plus membership.....That's my only gripe about it. I have to pay to play with friends.....WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!! When did we ever get to that point in our life now???
Well anyways, don't let this review steer you away, but kind of really do some deep thinking about that logic tho. Fun, challenging, looks good on the PS4, and also for $20....its a steal.
