With all the delays, changes and more, Feb. 2022 looks to be one of the most stacked months in years. There are exciting titles from Sony, niche titles, the next chapter in Destiny 2 and honestly something for everyone.

Destiny: The Taken King corrected one of Destiny‘s biggest problems, its poor narrative. Taking place after the events of The Dark Below, where Crota falls, Oryx appears to take revenge on guardians.
