Destiny, Bungie, Activision and Sony Computer Entertainment. 2014.
Destiny is Bungie's newest franchise since the massively popular Halo series. The feel and look of Destiny obviously draws heavily from the science-fiction vibe of Halo. When I first heard the concept of Destiny, I though it sounded like a fusion of Halo, Call of Duty, and Skyrim. But upon playing it I came to realize that it wouldn't be fair to describe Destiny as a simple mixture of other popular games, it is rather it's own unique game with its own qualities that make it stand out.
The Story-Mode/Campaign of Destiny is entertaining, however it does seem a bit repetitive in it's goals of destroying an evil relic or defeating a powerful enemy. The story is also quite short, it only takes about 14-18 hours of gameplay to complete, which is off-putting considering the build up before it's release.
Aside from the Campaign and Co-op multiplayer, Destiny also comes with a competitive multiplayer that operates under the name The Crucible. Here is where it is more fair to call Destiny a cross between Call of Duty and Halo. The game modes are fun and challenging if you're skilled, but it may quickly overwhelm beginners.
No discussion about Destiny would be complete without mentioning what I believe to be one of the best parts of the game. During the Story-Mode, each Guardian is accompanied through his journey by a robotic companion voiced by Peter Dinklage, Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones.
Destiny is available on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4.
