Guns housing advanced AI fire ammunition that breaks apart reality. Destiny's fiction lives in this blurred area. Clarke saying goes, any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

He wants to siphon off the Traveller's power for himself, and you have to stop him across five or six hours of missions scattered across Earth, Titan, Nessus and IO. A warlord called Ghaul leads the lumbering rhino-people called the Cabal in an attack on Earth. I think the journey is worth it.ĭestiny 2's plot is simple. You can expect 30 or so hours of quality shooting before you hit Destiny 2's doldrums. At this point most activities in the game drop worthless lower level rewards and the game sputters out. Phase three kicks in when you're close to the power level cap.

This means repeating strikes, taking on public events in open world zones and doing short missions called adventures that extend the story on each planet. As you move through the story Destiny 2 starts laying the groundwork for phase two, beyond level 20, when you start hunting for weapons and armour to grow your new power level from 100 up to 305. The singleplayer story gets you to level 20 and introduces the universe map, which you'll use for the next hundred or so hours to fly between planets to explore their open world zones, take on three-player Strikes (dungeons, to you and me), fight other players in 4v4 Crucible contests, and eventually take on the six-player raid. You pick your class, design your character, and get levelling. Warlocks can zap enemies with lightning, Emperor Palpatine style Titans throw down shield walls and punch bad guys really hard Hunters shank foes while dodge-rolling and tethering hordes with shots from a bow made of glittering purple energy. There are three flavours of Guardian to choose from. The Traveler's tiny drones, known as Ghosts, resurrect humans to serve as immortal Guardians charged with defending the planet. Four alien factions have converged on Earth to seize the power of a vast orb called the Traveler, which acts as humanity's silent protector. Destiny 2 is a persistent online FPS set in our solar system in the distant future.
