The first-person shooter game “Destiny” was awarded “Game of the Year” at the 2015 British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Game Awards. “Destiny” was able to overcome other great games like “Dragon Age: Inquisition”, “Middle-earth: shadow of Mordor”, “Monument Valley”, “Mario Kart 8” and “Alien: Isolation”. Here are five reasons why “Destiny” turned out to be the top game of the year.

1. Destiny is visually engaging. According to Forbes, players do not realize that they have spent countless of hours playing the game because it is admittedly one of the best shooters available in the market at present. It has a great concept and is visually and mechanically excellent.

2. Destiny has exceptional presentation and mechanics. GameRant said that since the open beta, gamers agreed that it was a game to watch out for. The gameplay encourages players to get involved so many actually keep checking items for sale or making a couple of kills every now and then.

3. It offers great multiplayer experiences. There are numerous quests that will require both skill and strategy, making “Destiny” stand out from other games that offer generic multiplayer experiences. Furthermore, the DLC and expansions kept players looking for more. There was always a new raid available and new loot to level up and gain.

4. It encourages players to keep gearing up. There are so many great gears to discover and acquire when accomplishing missions. Depending on the level of difficulty, players can acquire some of the most unique and powerful weapons to blast their opponents with.

5. Destiny was created by the same company that brought other great shooter titles. “Destiny” was created by Bungie and published by Activision. Bungie is the same company that delivered other great games like “Call of Duty” and “Halo”. It is only expected that the game will feature a unique storyline and excellent gameplay regardless of the player’s skill and level.

The official website stated that players take on the role of a Guardian in the last city on Earth. Gamers can explore various planets to destroy Earth’s enemies and ultimately become a legend.
