Just more AAA bullshit...

And I'm sure a ton of gamers who will reward this behavior too.

Hello! I tried playing Horizon Zero Dawn on both the PS4 Pro and PC, and just never got into it because (to me) the combat was not very good at all. I love the look of the game, and I assume the premise is good, but what about it do you like? I want to give it another go, but I don't want to waste my time either, so I am really just wanting to hear a different perspective.

The combat never really becomes anything special, but it's not bad and does open up more towards the middle of the game when you have more weapons available, but if you want to just use one bow and play on the easiest setting, you can, and you won't have any problems. What got me hooked on the game was the story. I love sci-fi, and this one hit all of the right buttons for me. I just finished up my second playthrough before Forbidden West dropped and I still teared up at the end. Just a really phenomenal story, and very well told. So far Forbidden West is even better.

Alright. I think I understand. I’ll try it again since I have it on Steam and since you gave a good enough reason to try it, as I am always interested in good narratives.

Thank you! 😁
