Horizon Forbidden West

pretty much what you expect from a sequel... more machines, deeper gameplay mechanics and the ability to fucking fly

Trash game. They tell you where to go for the missions. Then when you are doing the missions they want you to explore it yourself. I had to look up youtube vids to beat this because of that.

It does what the first does, just as well or better. I will say that this time around I really noticed how great the soundtrack is.

Technically very impressive, with gorgeous visuals, great audio, decent acting and a sprawling map to explore. I found combat less enjoyable than in the first game, mostly due to changes in how stealth worked, and while I could invest myself in the setting, I didn't really care too much for how the main storyline developed. Still, it's a perfectly passable way to pass the time absorbing yourself in another world for however many hours.

Absolutely incredible game. I have never spent 85 hours in a game without becoming bored. This game kept me engaged in the world and the gameplay the entire time I played, and had a fantastic satisfying ending that makes me excited for its inevitable sequel. They did a fantastic job expanding beyond the original game, and it will be extremely difficult for any game to beat this for my personal GOTY. Masterpiece.
