Here we are nearly two months after Destiny first launched, and I'm still playing it. Even when I have other responsibilities or other, newer games to play, I find myself back in The Tower collecting bounties and grinding for new gear. Destiny has been extremely divisive ever since it released, but even with its glaring flaws, I still have had a fantastic time with it. Bungie knows how to build a tight shooter, and Destiny represents their culmination of the many years they spent on the Halo franchise. Running around planets, blasting everything in sight is fantastically entertaining and never gets old, even when the missions and bounties do.
My biggest gripe with the game lies with the fact that the story is poorly told. It's not that there isn't any story at all, it's just not presented at all in the game and is buried deep away in what the game calls "Grimoire Cards"; they act like a codex, filled with tons of information regarding the past, present, and future of Destiny's world. However, despite that gripe (among others), I still find myself heeding Destiny's call. It's a great game that is experiencing some growing pains, but I hope that the upcoming expansions will inject some new life into the game and make it worth playing for a long time. It makes my "Best Of" for two reasons: it's incredibly fun and has a ton of potential. Now go make good on the potential, Bungie!
