Don’t get me started on Horizon: Forbidden West. It was a beautiful game. It also had every gameplay problem the first one did, and added several more to boot. The last half of the game was fucking tedious, and I basically finished it out of spite.
I’d say it’s still worth playing, but the story is way more predictable, and they made some things more grindy to upgrade than they were in the first one. Also they added robots that are even more of a slog to fight through.
Those giant turtles are bullshit and just not fun.
If you’re actually struggling with the turtle guys that is 100% a skill issue. Literally just break the shell off and they die very quickly, there’s nothing to “slog” through with them. Out of all the big enemies they are by far the easiest.
So sick of reading nothing but shitty hot takes when it comes to this game. It’s such a good game but gets unfairly nitpicked by reddit/lemmy and review bombed by fascists.
Very much same. I wish the Burning Shores expansion was a bit longer. It’s kinda hard to call it a must-play DLC, but it’s got some big stuff in terms of Aloy’s character development.
If You liked the stealth aspects of the first game then there is no point in starting the second. The stealth is gone. It’s also more difficult. The equipment is much more complicated.
I agree. I loved the first game, considered it one of my favourites. Couldn’t wait for the sequel. I was so disappointed, I abandoned it after a couple of hours.

Awww.
I enjoyed the heck out of the first one, especially the story. Haven’t gotten around to picking up the 2nd so that’s a bummer to read.

Lol git gut, my opinion is the only one that matters
If it helps, I loved both.

I enjoyed learning the backstory of the first one, but I was very disinterested in the story, as in, what is currently happening.

Stealth is gone from HFW, since when? I stealth just about every encounter in HFW with no issues at all.
It’s so weird how reddit and Lemmy constantly shit on these games yet they always score well with players elsewhere.
I never get sick of the combat in these games, the world is absolutely gorgeous, and the story is a lot of fun.
I loved both. Different strokes…
