So last week Bungie released the alpha for Destiny and I got to play quite a bit. Here's a quick little review!
I should preface by saying that I am not a huge FPS gamer. Most of these games are uninteresting to me and so I generally stay away from them. Destiny though got me to consider it a little and I was still on the fence about it but the alpha totally changed my perspective.
You're dropped into a planet with small clusters of enemies and Peter Dinklage narrating. The controls are similar to COD but the feel of the game is definitely closer to Halo - which makes sense. It is not in any way just a skewed Halo remake. The game does have a very unique style.
Something that I really enjoyed about the game is that it plays sort of like an MMO. Your character has a level and levels up as you kill enemies. You can pick up money and gear, do quests, and customize your character to be uniquely your own. Likewise enemies have their own levels and it effects your ability to kill them as well as the experience you gain from them.
The game also sports a multiplayer pvp area called The Crucible. At first I was skeptical because of the differences there would be among levels of players but the game surprised me! The level of your character does not effect the matches. So a level 10 character against a bunch of level 5 characters wouldn't have a dramatic impact on the match.
The visuals of the game are great!! I just recently got my PS4 and have been very impressed with all of the graphics and look of the games I've been playing but staring off into the city and being able to see very minute details clearly took my breath away.
Overall, if you weren't able to play the alpha and you are on the fence, pre-order the game now and get your beta code so you can try it on the 17th. It's definitely a fun game and if you're not interested in the pvp - it's optional so don't knock it till you try it!
