A world of fun

While there are valid criticisms as with all games, including some of the onboarding pace and menu navigation, it is refreshing that hand holding is not what gets you into the game.. it's curiosity. The world, narrative, art style, and sound are enthralling and using that curiosity, patience, and discovery, you will find footing. And then the fun starts piling on. Runs are rich with tension, exploration, and inspires the decision of, do I get out now, or push for an extra item or contract completion. 10 hours into the full game release and I've found a new game to play daily. The gunplay feels great, the combat is punchy and fast, and I've enjoyed the best multiplayer moments in gaming I've experienced in years.

Outstanding

A refreshing change for those looking for something new and challenging. All the features of an extraction shooter with the gunplay you'd expect from Bungie. Incredible sound, music and design with a deep story to unearth through lore formatted in a similar manner to the original games.

Complex narrative & game play.

I really think this game is ahead of it's time. The art direction is gorgeous: a sort of grounded dirty Day-Glo world, for lack of a better description. It really is what I what wanted the HALO game to look like, if I'm honest. The gunplay is amazing. Mixed with the short TTK, you really get a sense of lethality in the world, but still feel like you have a chance in a fire fight. The lore dump in the menus is hilariously vast. I am still confused with points in the narrative, but realize I am also dealing with what is essentially the 4th game in a series that most never knew existed. Great job, Bungie!!

Addictive

Wasn’t sure I would like an extraction shooter, but I love this game. The Bungie polish is unmistakeable. The classes are unique and interesting, very different play styles. Sponsor kits make losing all your stuff less punishing. Tense,

Now I'm hooked

This game grows on you. The first day is rough, by the third day you start to understand weapons, looting, and player shells better. On the third day you also start to make out alive more, while also figuring out GEAR matters. The weapons feel good and play really well. The environments are good, places to hide, places to rat, it fits the extraction genre great. The AI are tough, especially as a solo, so drop in with a Team to start, even if it's filling with random's. Play the Assassin to start solos, invisibility and smoke are your ally. Contracts (quests) are fun but they make you earn the rewards. The art style grows on you! Overall it's a really fun, engaging and challenging game and I'm hooked!

This is Bungie back at their best.

Shoot first, ask questions later. That is this game as an extraction shooter. Don't come in looking for kumbaya and to make friends while on a run. This is kill or be killed, and it is EXACTLY what a real Bungie shooter needs. Dedicated servers, no more p2p with god hosts and poor shot recognition with constant trades. The PVP is crisp, brutal, and over in a flash. The progression system is incredible, as is all the lore and faction liaisons. I'm so excited to see where they go from here, and what new stuff they throw at us in the future. This game feels more like pre-Destiny Bungie than anything. And that, for me, is the greatest compliment I could give it. These guys created something extremely special and I hope it does well enough to be around a long, long time. Because this is a game I will be playing for years.

Great start, classic Bungie.

Atmosphere, gameplay, sound design, lore all top notch, classic Bungie. This game has a ton of potential and for $40 I think it is worth giving it a shot.

Infil into the dark sci-fi world of Tau Ceti IV: A derelict colony rife with rival Runners, hostile UESC security forces, and hazardous environments. As you scavenge its zones for valuables with a crew or alone, tense moments of exploration break into fast-paced PvP combat where gunplay is responsive, time to kill is low, and preparation is rewarded.

Exfil to advance your seasonal power, earn cosmetics for your achievements, and assemble stronger builds with your stolen loot. Then put your gear back on the line to seek even greater fortunes in your next run.

A GRAVEYARD OF POSSIBILITIES
Trespass across deserted research facilities, rugged landscapes, and security outposts holding the remnants of a vanished expedition, yours to salvage. Tau Ceti threatens death at every turn with unique enemies, dynamic events, and environmental hazards. Each zone escalates in difficulty, preparing you for the UESC Marathon locked in the heavens.

POWERFUL. CONFIGURABLE. EXPENDABLE.
Six equippable Runner shells offer diverse playstyle foundations to build upon, like Destroyer, Recon, and Thief. Scavenge an arsenal of moddable weapons, body implants, and core system upgrades to craft countless builds. Strategize as a crew each run to form comps that maximize your combined strengths, shaping the way you approach fights and objectives.

ENEMIES EVERYWHERE
Face the unknown as a crew of two or three, or alone in solo lobbies. Or sneak into in-progress crew lobbies as Rook, a lone scavenger with no starting gear and nothing to lose. Forge uneasy alliances with rival Runners in prox chat to defeat mutual foes, but remember your new allies might revert to enemies just as quickly. Be merciless in combat: A lone survivor can reboot their crew, even from death.

Later in Season 1, compete in Rated mode to measure your skill and build a name for yourself.

INFLUENCE IS POWER
Liaise with six competing factions, each offering lucrative incentives to advance their foothold on Tau Ceti. Completing faction contracts grows your baseline power via season-long unlocks like Runner shell upgrades, stronger starting loadouts, expanded vault space, and specialized wares on offer for spare loot.

DEFRAGMENT THE TRUTH
No one knows what happened a century ago when the Marathon expedition went dark. As a trespasser into UESC territory, you are uniquely positioned to piece the story together. Unearth the skeletons of Tau Ceti’s past as you run deeper into the colony.

DEATH HANGS ABOVE
Once the way into orbit unlocks, bring your endgame build to Cryo Archive, the first floor of the UESC Marathon. Solve raid-like security measures to unseal frozen vaults and pillage the artifacts within. Every cramped corridor forces you into conflict with fully-geared enemy crews racing for the same prize. Breach the seventh vault to challenge an entity even the UESC fears.
