A BioWare Fan's Review of Destiny
I’ve rewritten this review of Destiny several times because I keep forgetting to post it and keep thinking of new things to say. The upshot? Despite its woefully thin veneer of RPG it’s a console-loving, MMO-flavored, first-person shooter, a whole lot more Halo than Mass Effect. In and of itself that doesn’t make it a bad game, it just isn’t a Bioware game. For me, it has almost no longevity. I wanted it to fill the gap until DA:I hits my mailbox but I'm back to Far Cry 3 already.
That’s the short of it, but of course a game this well-hyped deserves a more-thorough review. Destiny offers plenty of fun and takes a step away from Halo without abandoning what made Bungie such a hit in the first place. Here’s a run-down of the good and the bad I’ve found in several days of FPS goodness.
