The Best Games of September 2017
Honorable Mention: Destiny 2
Read the Review!
Editor in Chief Ed McGlone: It doesn’t feel that long ago that we were talking about the original Destiny. It’s probably because Bungie did an amazing job of keeping the original relevant for so long and seamlessly bridging the gap between the two games.
Destiny 2 inherits everything that was great about the first game, and fixes at least some of its problems. Loot is more plentiful, the raid is still amazing, and there’s an actual story worth paying attention to this time around. The original Destiny’s FPS/RPG-like gameplay was already fantastic, and Destiny 2 found a way to refine it further, such as making subclasses fit into more defined roles to create better team synergy.
It’s still not for everyone, and unless the story was the only problem you had with the first game, it doesn’t radically change anything else to woo former haters. That said, for the fans of Destiny 1 of which there are plenty, it is about as good as a sequel as one could have hoped for.
