Destiny 2

Destiny 2 is a free-to-play sci-fi shooter where players, known as Guardians, defend Earth's last city using mystical powers against alien threats. Originally a paid game in 2017, it went free-to-play in 2019. It features both cooperative missions (PvE) and competitive matches (PvP), including strikes, raids, and PvP modes.

Players explore various planets, interact with NPCs, and engage in events. The game expanded with DLCs like Curse of Osiris and Forsaken, introducing new storylines and gameplay. Over time, expansions like Shadowkeep and Beyond Light evolved gameplay, introducing new powers and story arcs.

Destiny 2 Gameplay

In Destiny 2, players take on the role of Guardians, using a mix of weapons and special abilities to fight enemies alongside others. It's a first-person shooter with elements of role-playing and MMO games. The game features two main modes: player versus environment (PvE) and player versus player (PvP).

Character progression involves gaining experience points (EXP) to level up and enhance stats, although a newer "season pass" system now rewards players as they rank up. Quests, given by non-player characters (NPCs), offer rewards and advance the game's storyline. Players also customize their character's appearance, choosing between human, Awoken, or Exo species, though this choice is purely cosmetic.
