Destiny: The Breakdown




After my review of the beta I knew I wanted to talk more on the game, so I'll try to cover anything I didn't already or that wasn't in the beta. Hope you enjoy!
A long, long time ago, in a galaxy called The Milky Way, an ancient being called the Traveler emerged and helped guide humanity into a Golden Age of technology and progress. This lasted generations until a catastrophic event known as the Collapse happened, nearly destroying humanity. At this point, the Traveler's main enemy, known as the Darkness attacked. Because humanity was so weak and on the verge of destruction, the Traveler sacrificed itself to save mankind, splitting itself into miniature AI known as Ghosts, who found long dead great soldiers and revived them, bringing them back to life as Guardians. The Guardians built a last stronghold of the human race and started fighting back. You have been brought back from the dead as a Guardian, with enhanced strength, durability, and speed. You know have to find the city to bring back peace to the Borderlands, no wait wrong game.

So if you read my review (which you should have) then you know there are three playable races and classes. Humans are humans, but in this point in time they have mentally evolved to have made amazing technology like lasers and scifi weaponry. The Awoken class was a group of humanoids that survived a great catastrophe by venturing in deep space, where they were changed by SCIENCE! The Exo race, which is my favorite is a race of robots built by the humans during a period of war and became sentient, basically making them the terminator. The three playable classes are still Titan, which is a defense based tank that can ground pound. There is the Hunter, which is a long range class that can deal a lot of damage with melee and has to keep moving. The Hunters can also summon a bad ass golden revolver that deals insane damage. The final class is Warlock, which uses plasma grenades and a rip off version of the force to kill enemies. Their power attack is a plasma spirit bomb, which deals the most damage of anything in the game. They are all the scifi Warrior, Rogue, and Mage class. One of the first things i noticed having played the beta is that the game up until level 6 is exactly the same as the beta, so I will try to cover the game play after the beta. Once you get to level 6, there is a new area other than blown up Russia. THE MOON! The moon has several new missions and you unlock even more planets as you continue. There is also new weaponry and abilities. The Crucible now has more game modes other than Capture, which are Team Death match, Free for All, and a smaller team version of other game modes.

Aside from the new levels, the game play is still very similar to the beta. If you want to level up i would suggest exploring and playing story missions until level 10, and then playing the Crucible ad taking bounties from the hub to get to the technical level cap of 20 (you can level up more than that through other means)

So yeah, this review may be shorter than usual because i already covered the beginning of the game with my beta review, which you can check out here. So go do that and maybe buy this game.
