| Zekkyou said: I had a lot of fun with Horizon. I didn't enjoy it as much as many others here seem to have, but overall it was still a fun experience. + The gameplay was a lot of fun, and far more dynamic than i expected. + It's visually stunning. Some of the cities were a bit underwhelming, but all the natural environments were genuinely breathtaking. + The story was dumb, but the good kind. Sometimes a man just wants quality fluff, and Horizon delivered. + It's the first open world game I've played where the towers are a treat rather than a chore. When you see a tall neck striding along in the distance, you know you're in for some fun. - Everything about the side quests. The writing, voice acting, animations, and actual actives were all highly inconsistent. I did enjoy some of them, but most left me frustrated. - Aloy is the worst kind of OP. I liked Aloy's personality, but she's almost totally flawless. Every problem she faces is because of external forces, and she pushes them all aside with ease. This is doubly frustrating because they do actually set up what could have been an interesting flaw; socialising. She's spent her entire life being ostracised, and has spoken almost exclusively to 1 person during that time. They could have used that to add interesting dynamics to how she deals with people, and made her more relatable. Instead it's ignored, and Aloy is amazing at socialising with everyone from every culture, and can turn any argument in her favour. It got old for me pretty quickly. Overall it's an 8.0 from me. |
That would have been cool to see. Aloy: an expert with bow and arrow but a novice with people.
