Its very pretty but these games suck. Boring narrative, watered down by needless open world shit, uninspired crafting, platforming that is straight up not good, and why the FUCK is everything so hard to see? Its gorgeous, but its sensory overload. There are so many effects and splashes of color they forgot to make the game fuckin readable.

The combat sucks too, especially against the human enemies that are just boring to fight, at least the machines look interesting and have their own specific weak points. For some reason you also get really good weapons like halfway into the game, which makes it too easy.

I think a lot of the enjoyment in these kinds of open world games comes from how good the traversal is. Spider-Man has a very similar formula, but swinging around New York on webs is a lot of fun. Traversing Horizon's world isn't fun, and you need to craft items for fast travel.
