Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game is amazing, from the sights to the sounds. Choose from multiplayer (crucible), missions for the adventure, coop missions! Fun to customize and upgrade your characters (warlock, hunter, titan). The story is amusing, and the expansion packs and limited time events make it fun as well!

In my opinion Destiny is a great game, with a good story. What makes it great fun for me are the numerous weapons, armors, ships, and class upgrades. I love building a better and constantly improving character throughout the story I'm playing and Destiny has done that with detailed precision.

I think this game is too much like Halo. I like that it has borderlands qualities and a tier level, however, it gets dull. The graphics are excellent and playing with friends is fun. I wouldn't pay full price for it. I got mine during a 4 hour sale for $25.

There's no doubt that Bungie's latest game is a blast. The gameplay mechanics are solid, the shooting feels great, and the different classes are unique while staying relatively equal in power. The story is weak at best, but this was always a game about combining single player, co-op, and competitive multiplayer into the same world. On that front, Destiny is a massive success. It's tons of fun, but it just can't live up to the hype. It'll keep you coming back, at least for a while, but it falls short of being the massive, must-have game that Bungie and Activision desperately want it to be.

the overall game experience is great. its fun and challenging if you're playing solo. super fun if you got friends in co-op. some parts are intense to play. but sometimes can get a little repetitive which is why i gave it 4 out of 5. i recommend this game!

The graphics are gorgeous and the gameplay can easily vary from easy to very difficult (but you get to decide that through a simple and easy to use interface). The controls are fluid and the ambience really immerses the player in the gameplay. A definite recommendation for anyone who enjoys fantasy/Sci-Fi first-person (and third person) action with RPG (role-playing game) skill trees. At times the enemies can feel like damage sponges but the visceral melee takedowns feel solid. Overall the story is not too long 12-14 hours (if you play it in sections), but the multiplayer features add much more re-playability that makes this game a great buy.

has a lot of action but is too long on story plots nad has unchangeable video between missions i did not like the jump packs takes away the risk in the game all over a good game lots of eye candy

Destiny has impressed me. I don't expect much out of console games with few exceptions, and I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I want to "keep playing Destiny." -The graphics are great, but should be by the time we hit PS4 -The gameplay mechanics for person(s) v environment (PVE) are solid and the Strike battles keep me wanting more, and I'm excited about the possibilities of Raids. It's not difficult for parties to understand what to do next, or how to get there. The fights are balanced well for the recommended levels, and fighting enemies above your level adds challenge in a fun way. -The different locales are well-designed and unique. -It doesn't feel like a pay-to-win system, meaning that I don't feel cheated out of content for not having ordered the more exclusive editions of the game. Though the expansions may change that later, as of right now, I'll give Bungie the benefit of the doubt. As for as my dislikes: -The Crucible PVP needed balancing to make the games fair, such that level 5 characters wouldn't be totally overwhelmed by lvl 20 characters. I understand that reasoning. As a result, though, it feels like they made all characters die more quickly. I've been one hit killed on several occasions by characters one third my level, usually through their special attack, and with little recourse to avoid the incoming doom. It can be frustrating, but I still find myself in the Crucible every now and then, so it isn't all bad. Kill streaks really give you something to celebrate as a result. My preference would be that all characters were harder to kill, and I'd increase the points awarded for things like kills, assists, etc., so that games wouldn't take forever. -Loot drops can be hard to find and identify depending on the area you are in. Uncommon loot has the same basic color as special weapon ammo, and I could envision players leaving them behind if their ammo is already at capacity. Rare items can seem to be Orbs of Light, with much the same problem, and I haven't seen a legendary drop, but I suspect it might have much the same color as the heavy weapon ammo drops. I would suggest using different colors, and in some areas with high growing foliage or lots of debris that makes it harder to find loot it would almost make sense to have holographic images depicting the nature of the loot above the drop to find and identify it better. -For a game which is trying to bring social gaming into the Triple A fold through mechanics of the game itself, Destiny doesn't do a great job of allowing for spontaneous connection with strangers. Voice chat is understandably not global, but there should be context commands in game that allow players to communicate via voice chat or invites without having to go to a menu, or your ps4 OS. This is a minor quibble, as communication is possible, just seemingly more difficult than it should be. To add onto this, I do wish we could have larger parties than 3 for PVE elements outside of raids. Despite my rantings, I would give this game a 9/10. It's a solid game in need of minor tweaking, but at release, it's incredibly reliable, fun, and without game crashing bugs (leastwise that I've experienced).

This is a great game! It's like Halo, but you get to experience it on PS4 as well as Xbox. There's a bit of a learning curve, especially if you aren't used to FPS games. Now that Destiny 2 is out, this game is a steal at $15.

If you have a friends list, like shooters or sci-fi, and a pulse, this is a great game. If you only like to play by yourself on story focused games, you should play The Last of Us instead (although the multiplayer is really good there too). What's great about Destiny is the connected hub/spoke world and jumping in with friends and strangers to take on missions. The story is forgettable, but not bad, just unremarkable. The reason to keep playing is to hang out with friends, try new gear, or just have fun exploring the world. If that sounds good to you, you'll have a great time.

My friend was hesitant to play for many reasons but once he played he was hooked. Glad I swooped this up during a deal week & having the gamers unlocked sure helps as well. Turned out to be perfect gift. The game isn't perfect but not many are, still tons of gameplay though.

I ACTUALLY GOT THIS JANK FOR FREE FOR BUYING A PS4 AND A YEAR SUBSCRIPTION! THIS JOINT IS HOT. IT'S LIKE HALO BUT UNIQUE YA FEEL ME. MY FRIENDS AND I LOVE PLAYING WITH EACH OTHER. ALSO, TAKEN KING JUST CAME OUT SO DEFINITELY COP AND DON'T MISS OUT ON THE ACTION, MY FRIEND!

Having never played any bungie games in the past, I was cautiously optimistic about this game. I read about how great the story was supposed to be and bought the game on a whim. I trusted bungie to make a fun and challenging shooter but it was the promise of open world game play and deep story that enticed me to buy it. They did not deliver on the story; it's as if the game was rushed or changed at the last second to accommodate a release date. Overall it is a fun and beautiful game, but it does not live up to the hype (which is pretty hard to do in any industry), and a deeper story could make the game so much more enjoyable.

Don't listen to the naysayers. Yea it can get repetitive but that's for the people who have been playing it since day 1. If you get this game now you're going to have a ton of stuff to do until the next DLC comes out. Do yourself a favor and pickup this and the season pass.

Good gameplay, a lot of nice variety of moves and weapons. While the main storyline is short, PS+ members can get multiplayer team missions that continue the fun. So far, I'm enjoying the game, great to hop on for a mission or two with friends.

Having played this game for several hours, I can safely say that it was worth a day one purchase. The concept of the game is great, but as of today is a little lacking (the addition of the upcoming DLC may change this). There is a lot of content such as missions, PVP, ect., although alot of the missions take place in the same locations (again, DLC and updates may change this). The visuals and atmosphere are top notch. Overall I'm having a great time with the game and would give it in it's current state an 8.8/10. Game has potential to be one of the greats!

So much hype! Not a bad game at all. The gameplay is solid and certainly worth it IMO. I just feel the game is lacking content. It was marketed as having more content and I feel there just isnt that much. But I Cant. Stop. Playing. It has become pretty grindy at this point but I Cant. Stop. Playing. Seriously. Bungie has done a fairly decent job at addressing issues post-release, so I like to hope that this game will realize its potential soon enough. Overall, worth the purchase. Just dont have the crazy expectations that came with the game pre-release.

The advertising budget made it bigger and awesome than it really was. It's a very good shooter game with a unique mmo feel. But that's where it hits a snag. In game communication is very difficult. You basically have to have friends or find forums to get a group but before that you have to find their PSN ID so you can add them to the chat! No matchmaking? It was a bad move because it's difficult to get a raid group going. But once you meet randoms and start raiding, it's fun. But you will have to get over that large roadblock I mentioned earlier

This game keeps me coming back for more! There are many features in this game that will keep you coming back. Level 20 is not the end but you will have to farm to get your level past 20 and farm more to increase your legendary gear so it's important you find materials early and often. You'll thank me later. The story is nonexistent for now, not sure if it will always be that way but honestly when a cut scene did happen, all I wanted was for it to be over so I could get back in the action. This game is best enjoyed with friends because there is no in game chat not even when your playing multiplayer. You have to have a fireteam created and you should just use PS4 party chat because you won't hear your friends clearly. It seems to be the case with all PS4 games for the time being though. You'll need to level up to 25 using light from armor to get the complete experience. Level 25 is where Destiny has all available modes open to the player. Is relatively fast to level up when you complete bounties and play strikes. You'll also increase rewards by playing the game more and more. Killing a specific enemy type, playing on a planet, playing a strike, crucible, it all counts towards something much greater. They do this by grimoire cards and you can check the status of them by going to Bungie.net or the companion app. While farming is not the most fun, it's not that bad either. The drops are dependant on your characters level and grimoire card progress, not the level of the mission your doing. They are constantly adding daily and weekly missions that have modifiers that crank up the difficulty. Although the entire game is go here and shoot all those people and do that hundreds of times, it's all about getting that next drop that makes your character look and play awesome. If you're in it for the long haul you just might enjoy it. If you're just going to scramble through the game as quickly as possible and hit level 20 and give up then this game isn't for you. The amount of customization with each of the three classes is decent and each class has two different subclasses to play. Just because you play as one does not mean you can't play as the other at any time. You will though have to gain that experience and level up again but it will give you more flexibility in play style of you do it. Unlike most games your decisions aren't permanent and can be modified of you get a piece of gear that changes your attributes. I enjoy the game as do many others. The are many people that don't care for it. If it doesn't sound like it's your type of game then you shouldn't get it. It doesn't change the face of gaming but it's enough for someone like me.

Storyline is not that exciting. The game is definitely a multiplayer experience. It's fun with a group of friends, and a grind without. The developers say the real game starts after you hit level 20 but after that you are just doing raids and strikes to grind for better gear. Leading up to release I was almost expecting a Borderlands style game with a lot of loot to collect and trade. Loot is actually a little rare in the game. Some areas of the maps feel empty and lifeless. You can't trade items. When you are walking around you can't communicate with others as there is no text chat. You can use a mic if the people are in your party. Overall it's just a game I don't feel like grinding away it. Others find it awesome. I'm not seeing it.
