This title held the live-service looter-shooter genre afloat for almost a decade. Banking off the success of “Destiny”, the second entry had a chronic fluctuating player retention problem that I believe eventually killed the game. Expansions seduced veteran and new players to the franchise. But even the most hardcore players feel that there was a lot left on the table by the end of its run. Bungie seemed to take two steps back whenever they stumbled forward. Oh…but the stumble. Bungie had a knack for creating experiences in this universe that were perfect for supporting; creativity, community, cooperation, challenge, intrigue, mystery and an overall wonder to almost anything they touched. I may feel scorned in some ways by this franchise but in others I still am in love. Gameplay wise this has Bungie’s trademark world class gunplay and polish. Would do it all over again. This counts as my Destiny 1 review too lol.

Do you remember your first play through of CITH? Of course you did, like millions of us we found ourselves reaching near nirvana with the Nintendo DS in hand. Minor nitpick; why isn’t this game matrix-jacked into everyone’s consciousness at birth? Why are there an unfortunate few who will never experience this sort of joy?!
