+ Traversal feels amazing (fluid/tactile swinging)
+ Characterization of Peter/Doc Ock/others
+ Cinematic feel (music, camera, cutscenes)
+ Vibrant visuals and life-like character models
+ Actually felt compelled to find collectibles
+ Act 3 was suitably epic; loved collection of villians
- Predictable story notes
- Combat is very derivative of Arkham
- Half-baked MJ/Miles stealth sections
- Precise movement very awkward
- Crime tokens are a repetitive slog
- Story dragged in act 2

Very fun, very concise. Played it for the first time last summer and was quite impressed with it. The environments, the atmosphere. You start out weak and gain more upgrades as you go, backtracking to earlier areas and accessing others you couldn't have before. There is a sense of power that is gained from this, as you easily incapacitate enemies that used to give you trouble. Mini-bosses from early areas become regular enemies in later ones.
Minor spoilers - towards the end of the game, the genre shifts when you lose all your powers and it briefly turns into a stealth-horror game, as you run for your life from enemies that take you out in a single hit. You get your suit back eventually and start one shotting those enemies. It's one of the most cathartic moments in gaming I've ever had.
Story is minimal but still there, in the form of a 10 second cutscene that appears here and there. Nothing mindblowing, just some context as to why you're exploring an abandoned planet on your own. Sound and soundtrack are simple but very memorable. You'll hear the main theme over and over but you won't get tired of it.
Complaints are the amount of backtracking and possible confusion without a guide. This game is a maze and there's little indication of what you're supposed to do next. Also, difficulty ramps up near the end.

«That ending!»
If not for the generic and at times cringy the dialogue is written, the story would be more interesting, which is a shame because the lore is amazing. My first hours with Destiny were pretty fun, it has a decent but unremarkable challenge but when I did hit the "final" main quest mission I have this feeling of deja vu, and from there I couldn't shake off that feeling.
When Destiny truly shines is when you play mandatory co-op missions, the thing is that even those missions will feel repetitive as the bosses are more like sponges for bullets. Another thing that I really liked besides the lore is the magnificent art direction, weapons, gear and graphic design of this universe are superb, music and landscapes in the other hand were cool and pretty but I'm not sure they were on the same height.
I really liked my time with Destiny but I also didn't overstay my time there, because as wide as the universe may seem to be, it sure can feel hollow pretty soon.

«Better with friends»
Really buggy. The missions are boring as fuck. Not immersive at all. The best thing about it are the mods that make it better. But the vanilla game, I'll never understand how it got so popular.
«Buggy as hell»
«Ugly as my life»
I dug it, but absolutely only for fans of the series. It's not a great game, but it's fun fanservice, Liked it enough to platinum (about 22 hours).
