Destiny: The Taken King Critic Reviews

If you’re a veteran player, after a jolting transition this is the best the game has ever been. If you’re new - this is the best thing available to play on console. Let’s pretend it’s always been this good.

The Taken King addition corrects majority of errors that Destiny had from the beginning and finally brings a larger portion of the story and lot of new content to explore.

You couldn’t pick a better time to try Destiny if you haven’t yet. The Taken King is a testament to Bungie’s craftsmanship and its ability to listen to the feedback from the players who both loved and hated year one. The studio has given us a game that truly is legend.

Current players get the Destiny they’ve always wanted, and new players get to experience the best iteration of the game.

The best example of this incremental improvement is in the game’s new raid.

Brilliant: Bungie has finally delivered the era-defining shooter it promised a year ago.

The Taken King is truly Destiny 2.0. Practically everything has been revised and improved, making this the unmissable Bungie title that Destiny should’ve been a year ago.

The Taken King could have been named Destiny 2 without lying. The quantity of new content is made for those still playing the game and looking to take full advantage of Year Two.

Forty dollars to access the base content may be steep depending on what players expect to get out of The Taken King. If it's hundreds of hours across all activities, then it's a bargain; if it's just the campaign and some casual competitive play, notsomuch.

A worthy investment for any fan of the original game and a pretty good one for those who weren't exactly thrilled with the initial experience.

The Taken King is one helluva good apology for the mediocre mis-start that was 2014's Destiny. All of our grievances have been addressed in some way. The loot system is fairer and more sensical, there's an actual story worth emotionally investing in, plus the combat's had an adrenaline shot thanks to new enemies, gats to gather, and exciting new subclasses.

Bungie has delivered a helluva final act to what's been a very surprising, highly purchasable rethink of this wayward franchise.

The Taken King could be Destiny 2, perfectly. The Destiny base is improved with a better campaign, better loot, tons of new side quests, gear and weapons. This expansion has all that Destiny fans expected. It's a must have for them and for newcomers.

The Taken King multiplies Destiny´s content, adds variety to its missions and rewrites its gameplay in certain key aspects. Being a DLC, it´s not cheap, but it feels like a new, even better, game.

The Taken King is a huge improvement over last year's release. It features a far better story, much stronger voice acting, more exciting and varied missions, and an endgame that is more rounded out for long-term play. Not only that, but it also refines the overall gameplay and makes the game a far better experience than before - one that is definitely worth playing.

Bungie makes Destiny better than ever, building on the solid foundations it already had. If you missed it the first time, it's a great moment to find out what it has to offer. If you already played it, it will tweak the experience to make you want to go back at it.

A new coat of paint has resulted in a newer and better game, perfect for any initiate or returning Guardian. The foundations for Bungie’s latest franchise aren’t just more solid than ever, but a fun experience that is years ahead of anything else in the genre.

Most of what made the original Destiny a good game is still there, but the overhauls and tweaks to the lesser parts have given Destiny the sort of boost it needed.

The Taken King is a major expansion, compared to the previous ones. A new portion of universe based on a new philosophy and rich with things to do: campaign, assaults and much more. This is likely what we were expecting from day one.

Destiny looks more and more like an MMO, and that seems to work well with the gameplay we already know. The Taken King is a good expansion, as it works exactly where Bungie's online shooter was having a hard time: by giving the players much more content to deal with.
