Destiny 2 vs No Man’s Sky
Destiny 2
Destiny 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the impressive action shooter series that takes you on an epic journey across the solar system, Destiny. The Red Legion, under the leadership of Ghaul, has finally destroyed humanity's last safe city, scattering the remnants of the human race in the wind as they hope to find refuge elsewhere. However, the will of the people has not been broken just yet. You will need to reunite whatever Guardians you can find and pit everything in for a last-ditch effort to take down Ghaul and possibly resecure a home for humans to once again live in.Similar to the original game, Destiny places a lot of emphasis on multiplayer cooperative and competitive gameplay, allowing players to get together and carry out challenging Raids or fight against each other in a 4-vs-4 setting with five different PvP modes to choose from. There are also new adventure missions that will let you discover Lost Sectors as well as public events that you can dive into with other Guardians via the game's new Guided Games (player/group-finding) system. The customization aspect is as in-depth as ever, providing you with a whole new array of weapons, armor and accessories to equip as well.
I'd say the most noticeable difference between Destiny 2 and the original, aside from the new game modes, is the focus on providing players with a rich and cinematic story campaign that will leave players hungering for more. Honestly, if you own a console and is a fan of action-shooters, you'll want to get this game as well as the first. It is as great as they come.
No Man’s Sky
No Man’s Sky has had a really rough start but thankfully the game developers have the integrity and the determination to continue the development of their game and honestly, despite the fact that the game still needs plenty of work, it has improved a lot since it was first released. The game is a sci-fi-themed, procedurally-generated planet and space exploration game where you can not only gather resources to craft and build your base but also learn how to communicate with sentient aliens or hunt non-sentient ones. You can also literally play any role you like, be it as a trader, an explorer or a bounty hunter.The galaxy itself feels very much alive due to the many factors in play - space pirates plundering unwary traders, various factions fighting to secure new territories, and more, aside from the fact that you'll be playing with other players in the same galaxy. Due to its procedural generation, every new planet you land on will always have a whole new ecosystem that you have never seen before, but like many players have noted, you still get the feeling that the creatures and the planet itself look familiar enough to discredit whatever differences they have. However, the best part about the game is perhaps its fragmented storyline - a plot that has to be assembled piece by piece as you explore the many worlds the game has to offer.
Many fans of the game has touted No Man's Sky as a first-person Starbound, but whether that's true or not, well, it's up to you to decide. The game can be pretty costly to buy at its original price considering that the game feels a lot like a work-in-progress, but if you can get it cheap, then the game is worth the experience.
