Introduction

First off, thank you for coming and checking out my review on Destiny. I started this game just a month after the release date. I have always played on Xbox One. The game itself has went through many changes over the time since the release in 2014. In this review I will discuss the graphics, sound, game play, last ability and my overall opinion on the game.

Graphics

I'm going with an 8, because Destiny really doesn't fully use the power of the graphics. Yes, the special effects and movement is very good indeed. When standing in the Social space or sitting in orbit or in a patrol on Earth or wherever. The colors aren't shiny and blasting you. Graphics probably look more of a 2008 - 2012 type game, but they aren't bad. The effects are absolutely amazing.

Sound

I know nothing truly deserves a 10 out of 10. But this game really does have the sound together, from the gun fire, the guardians talking, the enemies raging towards you. Sparrows and just everything around the game is spot on. The ghost in the game was rewritten and most fans hated it got redone. But, in my opinion change is good and as long as this game as been around, change of that was good. Sound is top notch.

Gameplay

I wanted to give it more, I look at a 10 and I think. Why would it deserve a 10, I looked at 9, thought the same thing again to myself. The problem isn't the game. Bungie has determined a 10 year plan. Yet, there is still DLC coming out from a game that released almost 2 years ago. Destiny went through a dry spell for almost a year with nothing changing since The Taken King released last September. Light level cap was changed from 320 to 335, but that's not a super noticeable change.

Rise of Iron releases this September and will more than likely refuel Destiny for the fans that have played since the beginning or even the one's who have stepped away. The game play is amazing in this game, the world is huge, the options you have to do are endless.

PvP has the Trials of Osiris, where you compete for 9 straight wins in a row without losing. Iron Banner, a week event where you grind to get the top weapons from the Iron Lord Saladin.

Weekly Strikes and Nightfall's, Raids to play with your friends a fire team of 6 to figure out the maze the puzzle Bungie has built.

The 2nd DLC after 'The Dark Below', known as 'House of Wolves' released a game mode known as Prison of Elders. It's a horde of enemies you fight through 5 levels, and it only gets harder.

So for the game play, to be like I said a 2 year old game and still pushing new content, it's a must try if you haven't. This is my favorite game of all time and pulled me away from games like Call of Duty.

Lastability

The great thing about Bungie and the game Destiny. They are always adding fun and exciting feature's. Even when they aren't releasing new DLC, they add fun new changes into the Raid's, or Nightfall strikes. New missions/quest. PvP always being change and updated to keep up with the competitive play.

Bungie care's about their game. It's meant to last 10 years so they say, and in the 2 years since released they haven't dropped the ball. It gets a 10 out of 10. It is a deserved rating.

Overall

From all the grades I've managed to go through and give the game. Overall, it ain't perfect. I'll admit the PvP game play needs some work. But, they are always tuning on it and not giving up. They manage to always add new and exciting elements to the game, not even always through DLC. They've built a game that has lasted longer than most 1 year games.

This is a game if you haven't tried it, get it. If you have, and you backed off when it initially released, put it back in and check out all the new content they have added. It's only up from here.

Thank you for reading my review and have a wonderful day.
