Destiny (Games, PS4)  (for PS4)

When the last of humanity is confronted by deadly alien forces that wish to push mankind beyond the brink of extinction, will you gear up to the teeth with weapons of mass destruction and become a herald of prosperity and protector of your kind? A massively multiplayer online action role-playing first-person shooter video game for the PS4 console, Destiny, rated 16 by PEGI, is set in a post-apocalyptic future where humans, after a long era of peace and technological prosperity that saw mankind colonizing various planets in the Solar System, are hunted down by extraterrestrial creatures who encroach on the last human settlement on Earth. Thanks to an enigmatic celestial body called the Traveller and the human military forces, the last human city is safe, for now. It is up to the Guardians of the City, defenders of humanity, to retaliate against the malicious aliens and take back what is rightfully man's. Developed by Bungie, the creators of Halo, and published by Activision, the firm that brought you Call of Duty, Destiny's gameplay sees the player acting as a Guardian. You can select to play as part of one of three races (the though Humans, the mysterious Awoken and the sinister Exo) and three classes, i.e., Hunters, Titans and Warlocks. Each respective class has a unique focus or special ability that can be utilized during competitive matches and co-op missions to the benefit of the player. The aforementioned abilities have defensive, offensive or buffing effects. The ultimate skill of each class is called a "super", a skill move that can be used by a Guardian during battle; each super can be upgraded as the game progresses. Instead of seeing Destiny as a traditional MMO, game developer Bungie defines this game as a “shared-world shooter” - players can’t notice and interact with all in-game players. They are allowed to see and interact with only those players whom they have been matched with. Furthermore, the gaming experience is enhanced by the new In-house game engine which enables real-time dynamic lighting and global illuminations to occur synchronously
