Destiny is unequivocally one of the most anticipated games of the year, and easily developer Bungie’s most ambitious project to date. It’s also a significant release for the Washington-based firm, as it marks the studio’s first major release since parting ways with the genre-defining Halo franchise. Add all that up, and it’s fair to say the amount of hype surrounding the alien shooter is nearly unquantifiable.
Launching on September 9, Destiny has been in critics’ hands for nearly a week now, and the reviews have finally started to trickle in. PSU’s dissection of Bungie’s latest title needs a little more time in the oven, but to tide you over, we’ve compiled a list of what the rest of the gaming press is saying about the MMO-shooter.
Can it possibly live up to the hype? Is Destiny all visual splendor but no substance? Or does it deliver on everything Bungie promised?
