According to legend, the only solution for the unknown enemy, who devastating our species turn out to be the mysterious, enormous alien ship, called the Traveler, which similarly to a second moon is hanging just above the surface of the planet. The survived people ed the forces and built the Last Town on Earth, which was the base for rising civilization. Now, however, the danger came back, and hostile creatures try to exterminate humanity completely.
The players portray the Guardians, who are able to use the extraordinary powers supplied by the Traveler. Guardians were divided into three different classes: Titan has got heavy armor and high firepower, Hunter prefers to do the tasks from concealment and is extremely good at wielding of sniper rifles, while Warlock specializes in using magic.

Destiny is a series of first-person shooters with a touch of MMO and RPG elements. The series combines a science fiction climate with fantasy elements: players take on the role of futuristic warriors using both firearms and supernatural powers. The main job here is to eliminate soldiers of alien races that serve the ancient cosmic Darkness. During the execution of missions, even the story missions, we can encounter other players and cooperate with them. The fun is accompanied by acquiring better and better weapons and armor, known from erpegs, as well as climbing to new experience levels and unlocking new skills.
Destiny Review: Bungie's great come back?
Bungie spared no expense to create a great looking mix of shooter and MMO, but high production value and pretty nice gameplay can’t hide that Destiny is just shallow, and it can’t live up to the hype.

"Video games as a service" is usually associated with unfair microtransactions, lacking content and watered-down story – but there's more to it. The term also implies an opportunity the devs have to mend the things that don't work properly.

Eurogamer: 8 / 10 by Oli Welsh
But in the white heat of the Strike playlists - or in Heroic mission runs with a friend, or in the unheralded arrival of a public event whilst tooling around in Patrol - Destiny blazes a clear trail through the middle of the desolate no man's land that, for years now, has segregated the bombastic emptiness of shooter campaigns from the frenetic slaughter of multiplayer. And it does so with a poise and depth that its few peers - games like the charming but scrappy Borderlands and Far Cry - cannot match; a poise and depth that will keep people playing it for years.
God is a Geek: 8 / 10 by Mick Fraser
But it's not that game right now. Destiny is a confident, solid, sometimes stunningly beautiful shooter with RPG mechanics that add longevity and depth, and the beginnings of what could be an incredible online universe. But it feels like the tip of the glacier, and I'm not sure it's a good thing to be more excited about what a game might one day be, than what it actually is.
DualShockers: 8.5 / 10 by Giuseppe Nelva
Destiny may not be a masterpiece, but it beats quite a few masterpieces where it really matters.
