Horizon Zero Dawn™ Complete Edition

The mechanics of this game are not so good. You need to be playing games non stop to be able to move weapon wise in this game. Nice artwork but poor controlls...

Back in the 90s/2000s games like this would have been called out for exactly what they are, a highly polished turd with absolutely nothing special gameplay and story wise, but here in 2021 there is now an audience that loves insanely mundane open world games like this simply because it does a good job distracting them from whatever painful lives they are living, and not because it is a genuinely thrilling 5 out 5 experience. Here is a few of the worst aspects of this game 1) The characters are just some of the worst the video game industry has ever seen. Seriously the level of emptiness and passionlessness that exudes from these characters is something that I wouldnt wish my worst enemy to experience. It very quickly becomes painful to look at and learn about the characters in this world because they all have the same intensely generic and lifeless design, to the point that it feels like they literally just copy and pasted the characters over and over again, only changing the shape of a tattoo on their head in order to proclaim it is a unique character. Their voices and personality all feel heavily recycled as well. And while the main character has slightly more detail than the rest, she is not interesting in the slightest, and you will quickly forget her name as well as her place in this horrible game. 2) The art and world design is as bland and monotonous as the characters, every place feels the same and has no creativity or charm to it. Instead of detailed graphics they need to focus on making the game artistically interesting. 3) The gameplay is also terrible, especially the stealth gameplay vs humans, which is as generic as can be. The behavior of some of the enemies isnt horrible, such as some of the robotic enemies charging at you, but artistically these enemies are not interesting, they are really boring to look at and you wont care what or who they are or where they came from. I'd like to go on and in more detail but I'm running out of characters here

i got this game on sale and played it for 16 hours. the TAC was little bit invasive but i understand. play it on medium setting on PC ( not ultra nor high graphic) and the game show series of glitches and graphic morp. i lower the setting and when i start up the game again it crash over and over. Tried to fix it but no good , do not buy this unless you have PS because it the only platfrom the optimise for the game. gameplaywise: combat 5/10 (not much to do) open world: 10/10 story 6/10 (could do better)

Dope A$$ Game. Worth Buying Twice Like This Dude *Pointing Down*

Should be about 3,5 star and yes is worth of money. The good, bad and ugly: Good: open world, yes there is freedom where you go, nice places to explore, collectables and so many nice views. Seems like interesting story from the start, but after a while please see ugly. The early stage where you have to explore every new machine and found the right attack pattern. Some funny and challenging quests like hunting grounds. Bad: Technical issues such as load times, screen flickering after 3-4 reloads, missing textures, all that what you might expect from PS port in early stages. Gameplay issues, physic sucks, where that main character about 55kg is nimble as fully loaded truck whilst several tons robot is nimble as feret. Sometime you get stun locked. Detection ranges are stupid and finally you can hide only in tall grass. The customization is lacking, you just buy better weapons on different areas and thats all, so pretty simple mechanics. Find weak spot and aim there. Quests are generic as usual, get that, kill this and so on, the impact of choices on overal outcome is none. Ugly: feminazi approach. All women are in charge, all strong competent, all males are either evil or incompetent or both even that sun king who governs largest nation in game have several insecurities. Main character from "humbly" stone age background acquired in no time several PhD from various sciences including advanced AI and she know and understand all things like robotics, is able to guess shape of earth from moon eclipse and so on, whilst rest of the world including her foster parent is bound to bows and arrows and superstition when AI outputs are called spirits or devils (guess gender...) and taken as gods where only selected few have access. The russian approach to electronics where you have hammer, pardon me tin can duct taped on pole what does the magic or some bigger hammer where you makng magic on tallneck when adding even some additional hand gestures, so PhD matter.
