Bungie’s second installment of the Destiny hit stores nationwide in late October. After the infamous Ghaul, the leader of the Red Legion carries on an attack of the beloved Tower. After stealing all the Guardians light, everyone in the galaxy is left without their personal power and are left defenseless against the slaughter. It is your quest, alongside four other companions to take down the triumphant Ghaul, and to restore the light to the Guardians.

The storyline of Destiny wasn’t anything special, but made for an interesting sequence to follow. There were no complications in the storyline, and each character’s motive was more than clear. I didn’t feel any personal connection and didn’t feel any emotions towards the characters.

After beating the main questline, there was still much to do. Bungie offers a wide variety of things to play: participating in strikes, public events, daily challenges and raids. All missions offer a sub story in which you receive gear to make your character stronger. I haven’t had the motivation to play a game for hours on end, and with this game I finally had the urge to do so again.

My first impression of the game had to be the games vibrant graphics. Though it stuck to the general graphic design and platform from the first Destiny, you could tell they went in depth with their color scheme. A perfect balance between gloomy blue colors and greens that would send shivers up your spine and the radiant fall red that could take anyone’s breath away.

I have an outdated AMD processor, which helps process the game quicker. After realizing this, the loading screens continued to load relatively fast when I played by myself, and the game never stuttered. I never worried about my game crashing, and has yet to do so even after hours of playing.

One of my favorite things about the game was the dialogue. The sarcastic responses brought laughter in sequences of intense missions, and more importantly made me laugh. The delivery of the lines was un-expected, and reminded me of Stranger Things formula: displaying important information then following with comedic response.

Forbes, an American magazine, mentions the sales are down by at least 50 percent for physical copies of the game, not involving digital copies. Though, Activison’s stock is nearly up by 75 percent, which proves they have the money to improve the game if needed.

My advice is to ignore the negativity surrounding the game. Grab some snacks, get comfortable, and play the game until your retinas can’t take it anymore. With DLC content coming out in December, there’s a lot of catching up waiting for the swipe of that credit card.

Destiny 2 is available on PC and other next generation consoles.
