Destiny: The Taken King

Always troubled but brilliant, now simply brilliant, Destiny has undergone an extraordinary change. It still demands your time, but the reward is one of Xbox's most well-rounded games. [Dec 2015, p.67]

If you’re willing to do the social networking and accept the time commitment that Destiny requires to reach its endgame content, you’ll be treated to the first massively multiplayer online game built around the core of first-person shooter gameplay, a unique entry in the world of video games, and a growing universe where you and your fellow Guardians are all that stand between the Light, humanity’s last hope, and the Darkness that threatens to wipe us out forever.

Destiny finally feels like the big deal that Bungie wanted us to think it was last year.

The crown jewel is King's Fall, a demanding high-level activity that, despite the strict six-person requirement, will keep me playing into the late hours of the night.

If you’ve been playing consistently for the past year and already have the past two expansions, The Taken King is a must-have. Bungie made this for you.

I have played Destiny since its launch last year, and I can confidently say that with the Year 2, and The Taken King DLC upon us, this is what Destiny pretty much should have been all along.

One nice try solving some mistakes made in the original game, but there's still room to improve... We need more content and new locations.

This is the first sign we’ve had that Destiny just might become the game many think it could be.

Destiny: The Taken King Legendary Edition adds a good bit of content for first time buyers, but really only The Taken King portion of the package truly shines.
