It's been a long time since Destiny was a rain-or-shine part of my week, and a new tabletop RPG has just reminded me of what I left the game behind – it recaptures everything that I fell for to begin with..
I used to boot up Bungie's sci-fi shooter most evenings, pored over lore like a scholar, and spent countless hours mastering its many Raids. Frankly, these are some of my favorite gaming memories; there's a sense of magic to them, not unlike childhood Christmasses or beloved vacations. But things slowly soured over the years, and what I loved about Destiny seemed to… I don't know, fall away? Honestly, I wasn't even sure what I was mourning until a new tabletop RPG fell onto my desk. Coriolis: The Great Dark is Free League's latest release, and it's so reminiscent of what Destiny used to be in the best way. There's exploration wrapped in mystery, teamwork, endless horizons, and an unknowable universe with more depth than you can hope to fathom.
