8. Planets That Have Shown No Signs Of Life
While the somewhat open-world nature of Destiny's in-game worlds is appealing and a good concept, why are the majority of these worlds always so seemingly empty? Interesting world design is overshadowed by the overwhelming absence of any life or other allies, with the only exceptions being fellow players and enemies. Alongside the sneaky, invisible walls and barren stretches of land designed to be passed through quickly on your Sparrow, these planets don't FEEL like planets, and definitely don't feel like populated worlds. They just feel like open pathways that only serve as a means to kill time on the way to the mission area. Without any extra life added in, or changing variables on each planet, exploration feels fruitless and limited, as there aren't many secrets to uncover and life to interact with. Lifeless planets equate to a hollow universe, leading to all environments failing to reward those guardians who just want to satisfy their inner explorer. With only other guardians to fill each world, it's all too easy to feel a bit isolated.
