10 hours in, playing the Complete Edition and i'm about to drop the game.
I played a lot, by a lot i mean at least 20-25 open world titles in the last 5/6 years and Horizon is yet another title with the same "game loop" and nothing fresh and new from a gameplay prospective.
- The graphics and the settings are SO GOOD, there's no doubt about it i love the dinorobot design and the OST as well
- The meele combat system is garbage, i see a lot of people criticizing The Witcher 3 but here it's worse. The ranged combat system is ok, it's fun but again i was expecting more, the IA is bad as well, especially the humans, they are so stupid.
- The biggest problem: the side quests are boring, the Focus side quests are litterally copied from The Witcher 3 Witcher vision when you have to follow a trail for several meters, and even the other quests are Ubisoft-like tier i still didn't find a proper and interesting side quest or even interesting NPCs, they are all dull.
I don't know, visually the game is really good, but the gameplay loop is just boring: "Collect things" --> craft arrows --> Go in the bush ---> Stealth Kill ---> Collect things ---> Craft repeat. This is what i was doing for like 80% of my free roam time. Props to GG for including a lot of NPCs from various races.
Help me ERA, how can i enjoy Horizon?
