29. Destiny 2 (2017)
What it’s about: Destiny 2 is a first-person shooter game that has players taking on the role of Guardians, who fight for humanity’s survival through unique PvE activities such as Raids and dungeons, while offering PvP between players too.
Why we like it: While the game has certainly seen better days, taken as a whole, Destiny 2 is a one-of-a-kind shooter. While, like the first game, the sequel stumbled out of the blocks, it finally reached greatness with Forsaken.
There have been ups and downs since, but that all culminated with an exceptional The Final Shape, which capped off an emotional 10-year journey with triumph – something that very, very few live service games get to do. Bungie brought its players on an unforgettable journey, even during low points, and just about any live service game would want to be Destiny 2 in its prime. It set the bar for shooter feel, the construction of modern live service games, and best-in-class social systems. When Destiny 2 has been at its best, there is so little that’s ever been like it.
