- Four years ago, Bungie set the world on fire
by releasing a new IP, Destiny.
Then after 3 years of taking down the Taken
and crushing the Cabal,
Bungie went ahead and released
Destiny 2 and also allowed PC players
to join in on the fun.
But what if I told you there are some games
out there that are like Destiny
that you should probably try if you love the franchise?
Hold on to your wallets,
I'm Ify and these are games you should play
if you like "Destiny."
So let's talk about Destiny and how it fits
into the loot-shooter genre.
Destiny has three classes:
You have your Titan,
you have your Hunter,
and you have your Warlock.
But the RPG comparison doesn't stop there.
As you play through the story in Destiny,
strong enemies will drop strong loot,
just like in an RPG,
and you'll use the loot to upgrade your gear
to fit your play style and the build
that you're going for.
And one more thing that makes Destiny
fun and amazing is the diversity of weapons.
Those are all the things that we love
about Destiny, let's go find them in other games.
The first game I want to talk about
is The Division.
A bioweapon is launched in New York,
completely decimating the city
and causing chaos.
And now the city has been broken up
into factions of bad dudes
and Divison is the good dudes
who are there to save the day.
And it's up to you and your friends
that you squad up with to get out there
and save New York.
Don't let the modern setting fool you.
This game does have some pretty cool
high-tech stuff.
So instead of having traditional classes
in The Division, agents will be able to
choose between three different skill trees
that are based off of the tech,
medical, and security wing that are part
of the home base hub that you are building up.
And you're able to pick and choose
which features you want
so that you can play your way the whole time.
The game's levels are very similar
to dungeon instances in the sense
that you, by yourself,
can run it or you can group up
with up to three more people
for a squad of four and fight your way
til the end that ends in one big boss battle.
And it drops you tons of loot
to upgrade your gear and keep fighting onwards.
Like Destiny, in the end there's huge raids,
but still the limit is gonna be about four people.
One of the main differences is that
this game is a third-person shooter
and it isn't completely sci-fi.
It does feel like a high-tech military upgrade
and less like you're a Space Spartan
fighting for the universe.
The next game I want to talk about is Warframe.
Warframe technically came out before Destiny.
The beta was launched in 2013.
Warframe is probably the closest take
you'll get to Destiny if you're looking
for an alternative.
It's takes place in space.
You are space ninjas.
You like customizable ships in Destiny?
Well, Warframe has customizable ships.
You like a plethora of weapons in Destiny?
Guess what, Warframe has a plethora of weapons.
But I haven't even talked about the best part yet.
All of this stuff is great.
The graphics are good, the gameplay is nice,
the lore is deep, and it is 100% free.
In Warframe, you play a Tenno that gets
to master multiple powerful frames.
So while in Destiny you have three
classes that you can play as,
in Warframe, you have over 30 frames
with their own abilities and play styles
that you get to master.
If what you're looking for as your Destiny
alternative is something super close to Destiny,
Warframe is the perfect game for you.
The next game I want to talk about,
no, not want, I have to talk about,
is the Borderlands series.
Mostly because they are the OGs
of the loot-shooters.
Borderlands is a super fun game
from Gearbox Software that doesn't take itself
too seriously.
It has a good amount of comedy,
action and drama that makes it fun
for the whole family.
Well, maybe not the whole family.
It is kind of violent.
You get to choose between one of four
different characters,
each having different classes and skill trees
and basically do what you want.
They give you enough side quests
to keep you occupied for hours
and then when you finally decide
to beat the game you can do just that.
And if that wasn't fun enough,
it also is multi-player.
So if you like Destiny,
you should definitely try
The Division, Warframe,
and Borderlands, the whole series.
Not just one, not just two.
The whole thing.
It's great.
Did I miss any?
Well, just let me know down in the comments
and we can talk about it and keep
the discussion going.
