    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.

      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.

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

      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.

        Stealth is gone from HFW, since when? I stealth just about every encounter in HFW with no issues at all.
