But “Destiny” was still an important release for many reasons, one of them being that the game showed that there is still a lot of interest in certain types of gameplay which were thought to be on their way out.
It’s obvious that those ideas still need to be properly polished in order to be received positively by players, but the industry is not really in the stale, unoriginal situation that some like to paint it in.
Quite on the contrary, we expect to see many more interesting titles like “Destiny” over the next few years, combining gameplay elements which players wouldn’t even think to put together. And once some of the quirks of the original “Destiny” are ironed out, we might see a game that truly explores those ideas in a deserving way.
For now, those who want to spend some time on “Rise of Iron” should enjoy the experience, according to everything we’ve seen about the game so far. It might not be for everyone – and that includes some of the hardcore fans of the original “Destiny” – but it’s still a solid expansion that offers a lot of value to those looking for specific gameplay elements.
The expansion managed to push the game forward in a technological aspect as well, and some critics have been impressed with the detail in some scenes. Those who want an immersive experience might want to consider the game from that standpoint alone.
