I think it plays very well! It's obviously just the alpha so it's very limited in content and still not even close to how amazing the final product will be, however for it being only the alpha... It's pretty freaking nice! I can definitely say that I will be playing this game for a long ass time! The only complaint I have so far would be the fact you can't revive yourself when your playing solo! What I mean by that is, for example borderlands, once your lose all your health you crawl and are put on a timer. If you can kill an enemy before the time is up you revive yourself! It's very nice and I am disappointed it's not included in destiny but life goes on!
