Is Destiny 2 worth starting as a new player in 2023? - Lemmy.world

I’m on PS5 and I’ve been curious if this game is worth starting up for the first time. I’m playing FFXIV right now but after Sony acquired Bungie I’ve been curious.

As someone who has played a LOT of Destiny, I would not recommend the game to anyone. I do think the core gameplay is very good, but it’s easy (maybe just me) to get trapped in a very FOMO line of thinking. I would follow every update, get on everyday just to grind out daily, weekly shit and not necessarily for fun. There are much better or healthier games out there to spend your time with, games that actually respect your time.
I always tell people: “Destiny 2 is my favorite game. You shouldn’t play it.”
Me and league of legends. A game I love and will always play but always tell people I don’t recommend it unless they’re already familiar with and like mobas and are willing to spend 1k hours just learning it.
I escaped DOTA 2. I won’t go back!
