This is pretty much everything that people has been saying since the game released (hell, the beta even). The reviewer even spent about 40 hours playing the game, so there's no excuse you can bring up of him "rushing through" it.
It is the very personification (er-gameification) of "Jack of all trades, master of none." Destiny pulls from so many different things without understanding what makes them good, or really [i]doing[/i] anything with them. A shame, really.

Ironically I think squeezing in 40 hours then having to write about it is too much. And if you are mixed about the game and this type of gameplay, you're going to hate it by the end of the 40 hours. I've been taking my time and the game is fine. No, not revolutionary, but solid with a lot of potential.
