im gonna level with you, im finally writing this review so it stops popping up for me

destiny 2. its a game. you are either going to despise its continued existence and hope for its end, usually after rage quitting in the tutorial. obvs that sounds like a nice experience but youd be surprised how often ive seen it. the flipside obviously is you getting drawn in and becoming one of us lmao.

at the end of the day, destiny brings something very unique to the table that no other looter shooter has truly been able to do, the gunplay is crisp- the pvp, while infuriating, is also... well. its hit or miss for every player, but im of the opinion that this game lives and breathes because of its existence. without pvp, or any alternate modes other than killing random aliens, the allure would be lost. the idea of taking down a massive raid boss with 5 buds, or maybe 5 random strangers you just met, and then taking the gun it dropped and ruining another video gamer's day with it is something not many games offer. and that, is the highlight of this game. it has a unique, and while janky at times, social aspect. you can be chilling in the tower, dancing like the world is ending, and get a message from a person asking you to join. hell, if youre set to open, people can just join on you and you can drag them kicking and screaming into a nightfall if you really wanted. d2 is a burgeoning mmo, and is it flourishes, itll only cement its place as THE looter shooter with space magic of all time. thanks for coming to my ted talk, play the game- dont judge it based on the tutorial the tutorial is HORRIBLE. gear up, go do a raid. try some pvp with the new toys you get. dont give up before the good part. just trust us on this one, promise


(although if you really want to, you could wait until they overhaul the tutorial. its gonna happen eventually, because they cant in their right mind think its good right now. its horrible. power through it, or wait. take your pick)

This game is perfect. I cannot say anything else, genuinely. It hits every mark. I honestly don't want to even describe it, its much better to go in as blind as possible. Think of it like No Man's Sky but confined to one system, also its a totally different genre lol. If you love exploration, flight, and puzzle/mystery solving, this game is for you. Honestly I'd say its for everyone because its just that good but I don't think it'd be fair to make such a sweeping suggestion... well, who cares. Play this game!!!!! PLEASE!!!!

Honestly just a phenomenal game, extremely chill, good characters, interesting story, great music. What more do you need?

Okay, so having played through the first world of the game and a few of the optional side levels, I think this may be a good time to write my first ever review! I will be brief, this game is very fun. If you enjoy Super Mario Sunshine, or even 3D platformers in general, you will feel right at home in this game. The controls are great, and the flow of movement in the game is even better. Back to my reference of Sunshine, I can see a lot of inspirations from SMS in this game. The movement is very similar to SMS, which is great because it was pretty good. You have a double jump and a little dive thing you can do mid-air, and these combine to make it pretty fun to move vertically! I can definetely see this being a game that is played by speedrunners in the future. Another thing that reminded me of SMS was the design of the first level, it felt oddly nostalgic and comfortable. If you have ever played Sunshine, you will know what I mean when you head into the first world after the tutorial. Overall, I highly reccomend this game if you enjoy 3D platformers.
