I’ve played a ton of this game over the past few months, hit the highest rank you can get in both seasons so far, and unlocked every codex entry in the game, including some really tough ones. I also met some very cool people towards the end of my time playing this game. I think this game has an awesome aesthetic, great sound design, a really cool world, weapons that are lots of fun to use, and some good ideas.

Unfortunately, the game also feels like it was released in a clearly unfinished state and is subsequently filled with design flaws, half baked content, and bugs. In some ways, it actually just feels like a game designed with imminent failure in mind, due to heavy restrictions on how the game can be played to limit wait times. Additionally, I feel like the engine this game runs on really needs work.

I might continue to play this game if they release additional content that I find interesting, though I feel like it’s a repetitive game that’s hard to put down which is not good for me. Also, I feel Bungie has heavily oriented the game to be for squads only which I find frustrating as I’d like to be able to play at my own pace and leisure.
