Destiny is a game that can give you tens of hours of entertainment, whether you like games with a story mode (very good, and very well spun, although somewhat confusing and with its ups and downs) or if you want to prove yourself as a player and compete against other people in PvP. If you want to start playing, you should know that you can do it for free. And everything you need to know, you will find it here.
Destiny 1: Origins
Destiny has two main games. The first of them, Destiny 1, focuses on the fight of the Guardians, a series of immortal warriors, in defense of humanity, threatened by various threats from a post-apocalyptic universe. The player assumes the role of a Guardian fallen in battle, who has been resurrected by a mysterious being known as The Traveler. Before the darkness devastated all humanity, this being granted the Earth a period of prosperity. Now, a series of alien races, such as the Fallen, the Vex and the Cabal, among others, threaten the Traveler, and our duty will be to protect him from all threats.
This first game also has three expansions: The Deep Darkness, The Taken King and The Iron Lords. These add features to the gameplay, as well as expand the story.
These games came out for PS3/XBOX 360, as well as PS4 and XBOX One. Unfortunately, these games are hard to play these days. Although the game continues to be sold, especially in its version for PS4 and Xbox One, its price is crazy. What we can do is buy second-hand Destiny at the best price, being able to get the complete edition, with all the DLC, for only 14 euros.
Destiny 2: defend the Traveler from new threats
This second installment of the game continues the story of the first, where we must protect the Traveler from the Red Legion, a new Cabal force, led by Ghaul, which has invaded the last safe city of humanity and has captured the Traveler, the mysterious entity who resurrected the Guardians and gave them their powers.
This game has, right now, two expansions, which right now can no longer be played because they were part of the first year’s season pass: The Curse of Osiriswhich follows the Guardian in his fight against a dark Egyptian god known as Panoptes, and The Strategistwhich continues the Guardians’ fight against the Red Legion led by the cabal general Dominus Ghaul.
Destiny 2 is free to download and play on Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation. But, if we want to continue with the story, we will have to buy the expansions that we summarize below.

After these first two expansions we find Forsaken, which adds a new threat in the form of an infamous assassin named Uldren Sov, who, along with his gang of criminals (the Barons), begins a bloody revenge against the Guardians. Forsaken is followed by Shadowkeepone of the worst DLCs in the game that barely introduces history, just farming contracts.
After her we find beyond the lightwhich presents a new threat in the form of Darkness, while the Guardians discover the true nature of the Traveler and its role in the galaxy.
This is followed by «The Witch Queen«, which introduces us to Savathûn as the main villain and whom we will have to face, as well as her army of hive warriors, who, for some mysterious reason, are using the power of light.
And finally, we come to the latest expansion, to date, for this game: Eclipse. This expansion has introduced many (perhaps too many) changes to Destiny’s gameplay and story. Regarding the story, we must fight against The Witness and his henchman, Emperor Calus, an old acquaintance from the Red War.
