Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad game. Not at all. It's absolutely beautiful, and it plays great (probably the best controlling open world game I've ever played next to BotW). But I've now been playing for maybe 10 hours, and everything feels EXTREMELY samey. The only thing I'm ever doing is killing machines or humans. Over and over. And while the fighting works well, I'm already starting to find it less interesting. And the world, for how good it looks, isn't really that interesting to explore, because all you find is more machines to kill. I also don't find traversal all that fun, maybe because I'm playing this game after the incredibly liberating BotW. Here I'm constantly annoyed over small ledges I can't get up on and stuff.
Settlements aren't much better. They feel like movie sets, with only a few people you can actually interact with, and the missions they give you are generally just excuses to kill yet more machines.
Is this the game, or is there more to it? Is the story interesting enough to see it through?
