Core gameplay is great and theres no games that really compare when its about mouse aim flying.
The developers know this and will will unbalance the game after the first couple of tiers where the in game economy will ♥♥♥♥ you over, punishing you HARD. Once you get to jets unless you get 3 kills every game (in a 1 life only gamemode) you will come out of it with less to spend than you did entering. every single update has been chipping away at increasing the costs of dying. But no worries ! you can spend 70 euros for a digital plane that has superior armaments at lower ratings and nearly no costs for dying !! Just buy our stuff ! you dont have to suffer ! also get that premium account subscription while you're at it !

For this review to be thorough ill have to start at the beginning. Upon release me and a bunch of friends got this game for its 70 euro price tag, as much as i hate the price tag AAA games have nowadays this game did in no way dissapoint. Here i also want to mention this is not a perfect timeline and the issues i encountered were only from maybe 20 percent of the total time the game was released as i played on and off leaving gaps easily the size of semesters.

The campaign while relatively short was amazing, the music, the storytelling, the characters aswell made the short experience one of my favourites for sure.
The pvp was fun and the specials events such as trials of the nine were a worthwhile challenge giving you exclusive rewards.

Pve is where this game really shines, many strikes were available, short action packed adventures always ending in a bossfight. The best part of the game was the raid however for me, a co-op experience unparalleled. For a decent period this game was nearly perfect.

After a while it was really noticable that there were updates with new armor sets, vehicles and other items added, this was the first struggle as they were behind a paywall leaving the non micro-transaction fan emptyhanded for months up to years. Upon release you were able to enjoy all the new content as you got your generic lootboxes filled with these items as rewards for playing. This after i presume the sales dropped with time and the dosh was collected the fountain spouting new content in the form of new items remained but attaining it without paying got treated as if it was a bug and got patched out.

Dlc was introduced with curse of osiris, after a short afternoon my plate was licked clean and whilst I enjoyed the content it was extremely shortlived for the most part. There was a raid added aswell but this one passed by rather lackluster with only a single stage being near the same level as even the least noteworthy one of the original leviathan raid.


As we let the years pass the now 70 euro game with 40 euros of dlc becomes free to play hooray !! There was a lot of commotion towards bungies contract with activison as the community thought was activision pulling some strings making bungie look bad so lets hope whatever issues there were lets hope theyll dissapear.

As new dlc was introduced it started a new cycle where all previous content gets stashed away in their 'vault' presumable to be maybe polished up and reintroduced. It sounds nice but it strips the game barren except for the latest release of dlc. If you dont participate and buy new content every so often dont expect to enjoy the raggedy collection of activities disconnected from every other fragment of the game. I, someone who bought the main game am affected by it because all base game content has been put on the shelf but also everyone who bought any of the dlc shares the same experience. The main game review mention very little of this but a quick glance at the reviews of the dlc will show how people have been buying content just to have it replaced for new buyable content. As long bungie keeps this "the game would toooootally be too big for anyone to handle so we'll just take the whole thing of your hands" act up im afraid things wont change. Other games like the master chief collection have shown games can have large 'on the go interchangable' dlc among the sizes destiny would have and at the same time pose no issue to any part of the game. However Bungies motive has been clear and clarified further through their perpetual charade of non issues posing threats to the game.

moving on some more years. The game has been stripped of any content except for 3 zones that were a part of the original game resulting in still having to buy the current dlc for an experience uncomparable to what the base game is. More than that all gear gained from pvp events such as trials of the nine or raidgear that is not attainable anymore have been nearly completely removed. Now if you want to get anything near the likings of what years of playing got you you better pay up because all content worth playing is behind a paywall because the rest has been removed because of imaginary restrictions easily fixed by features steam has had for many years. A pity excuse to strip the game naked of any content enjoyable by the f2p player or returning players. A decent chunk of the community have shared their experiences just to met with people happily paying copious amounts of money to satisfy bungies micro transaction endeavours and dlc constraints, swatting away any complaints towards bungie justifying their actions often almost getting of to the near abusive relation bungie has with their playerbase.

What i fear most is that bungie will find a way to resell the base game at a later date as dlc, not an unlikely situation even if they continue this.

If the game ever stops hoarding the content and starts utilising steams dlc feature or if the game regains the red war campaign and the leviathan raid and the rest of the vanilla content, reccomending this game will be the biggest no brainer as of yet providing one of the best experiences available espescially as a f2p game. Until then, i can't reccomend new players to waste any time on the current version of the game just as i cant reccomend returning players to pain themselves with how deliberately inaccessible this game is for non dlc buying returning players.

thanks

Can't believe that it took me this long to write a review recommending this.
A classic by now.
The surprising playerbase, engaging mechanics and the amazing role design.
Known to inspire the well populated overwatch, a game not close to as good as this one.
Free to play, a must try.

Gets too much hate.
Great fps, really competitive.
Plenty of players presenting themselves as amazing challenges.
Easy to pick up, a blooming community that has all the right means and tools for you to improve.

First off, i can't believe i played it for three hours THREE FULL ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HOURS.
i got this game gifted, it was the bestest thing happeninged in my whole life..?..!!!!!!
I sold my ppc after this, this review was typed on my smartphone 10/10 *crying in laughter emoji*

I do not recommend this game in all cases.
However if you like a challenging fast paced shooterand flying around to your liking this game might suit your needs.
the first hour is just filled with smashing walls and not hitting anything , ending matches with minus score .
after 2 hours you'll already get the hang of it tho.
really fun with friends.
8/10
