I can't recommend this game at all. If you're looking for a generic looter shooter to play that looks nice, and you don't care about anything other than grinding for gear then perhaps you'll enjoy it. But just know that both the game and the developers have absolutely no respect for your time or your money. Starting fresh nowadays is very awkward (and it'll likely get worse in the near future), your character will get dumped in at the beginning of the endgame content with very little guidance as to what it is that you should be doing. This won't affect early players much, but eventually you'll run into a system they like to call "sunsetting" meaning gear from earlier content is only capable of going to a certain power level that's under the current maximum, you'll be expected to grind new gear to replace it. This wouldn't be much of a problem except for the fact that in most cases this new gear is the EXACT same item just with a different content sticker slapped onto it that can reach a higher power level than the original.
Now for the biggest problem, in three months time[www.bungie.net](September 2020) Bungie will be removing 4 of the 9 destinations, as well the Leviathan from the playable portion of the game and putting it into the "vault". This will leave a total of 5 of the current destinations playable, only 2 of which have any real use for a player without the DLCs. Along with those 4 destinations and the Leviathan, ALL activities tied to them will also be going, including 3 of the 5 campaigns. This effectively will remove about 50% of the total game content, ending up being about 80% of the free content. In place of this a new destination (tied to a new DLC that costs about the same as a new AAA title) and a zone ripped straight out of the first Destiny will be added in, still resulting in a net loss on playable content. There's also a strong possibility that as more and more new DLCs get added, older content will continue to get added to their "vault" rotation system, this will likely include current DLCs that you can purchase currently, so be warned.
