Such a massive game and quite tiring to play if you include all the side quests and activities. The main story is however quite engaging and most of the first game's mechanics are improved upon.. uh well nothing much to complain really especially that this port runs quite well.

It is a big thumbs up for now since it doesnt require PSN. But knowing Sony, expect a remaster edition in a year or so lol.. so that they could inject in us their filthy business practices rofl xD

It's a very young-adult story over a somewhat cool videogame. If you're in your teens or early 20s, you will probably find a lot to like, here.

Much older, and you'll have seen these story beats many times before. Also, the perspectives on offer will feel flat, obvious and underdeveloped.

Aloy's a lady who needs to learn the value of friendship. She'll turn down help like she's allergic to it. Someone will tell her "hey don't go out there yet; the other nations will get the wrong idea and we'll have a war." She'll respond "screw that; you can't tell me what to do" and then run out and accidentally start a war. She won't ever reflect on that.

Then, her friend will say "I came out here to help you" and she'll respond "GOSH DARNIT Varl I told you to stay in the DAD-GUMMED car!" And she'll be an entire character arc away from realizing how hypocritical she is. But we see it right away.

Also, for what it's worth, I really don't understand why she hates Sylens, so much. He's not really getting in her way. In fact, he's inviting her along to learn with him. She'll mutter "that blasted Sylens" and I'm sitting here "what problem exactly is he causing, right now?" But that doesn't really matter. Aloy straight up fires Lance Reddick the actual actor in the beginning of the game, so that Sylens dynamic is abruptly cut short.

Bad guys are punished for having unchecked egos and control fetishes. You'll read a bunch of text logs by and about Ted Faro. They are all various versions of "muah ha ha haaaaa" if by him or "Ted just yelled 'muah ha ha haaaaaa' in front of everyone," if about him. All other villains in this story are the same thing.

This one also continues the sort of half-attempted perspective on gender roles that the first one started. Men are one way. Women are another way. According to this story, anyway. That perspective seems interesting when we're young, or when we're watching standup comedy specials from the 1980s. When we're older, attempts to classify people so rigidly seem childish and lacking wisdom.

It's a very long game, too. I'm bee-lining the story, but I have to step outside the path for long stretches in order to find upgrade materials for my armor and weapons. Long stretches of time. I need an apex thingy heart to bring my bow to level 3/5. So I go kill some apex thingies and hope the dice roll in my favor and a heart drops. I've got 46 hours so far, about to start the final stretch.

I'm not really sure why I stuck with this. That probably says something about it. I've put Skyrim down 100 times since it first came out due to boredom. I'm bizarrely compelled to finish this, though. It's like understanding why I don't like it is going to give me some kind of wisdom, or something.
