Horizon Zero Dawn is a good game in that it is pretty, has an interesting world, and has good combat mechanics, but it is open-world in the worst way possible. It has hundreds of meaningless side quests, the rewards for which are literally just loot boxes of crafting components (often times just containing more loot boxes). Also the voice acting for most NPCs is inexcusably bad and breaks immersion, but that’s a minor gripe.
If you play Horizon, I honestly recommend sticking close to the main story and making a b-line for the end. It is a hugely bloated game.
Just finished up Sea of Stars. Enjoyed it, but didn’t love it. The visuals and music were spectacular. The story was kind of weak, and didn’t too much time tying into the Messenger without resolving plots in a satisfying way. Some of the characters were good, but the actual plot felt kind of pointless. Gameplay was also fun, but took awhile to get going. I think it was really fun after some more options and characters were available, but the start felt too slow. Would still recommend it though. It is a very solid game. It’s just not perfect.
Going back to finish Pikmin 4 next and start up Cocoon on PC too.
Wouldn’t be quite so gung ho about video games this young if he wasn’t such an avid reader. Next I was thinking about showing him the GameCube Paper Mario title.
I just returned to Genshin Impact after spending a lot of time first playing Baldurs Gate 3, then Starfield and moving on to the expansion for Cyberpunk.
I’ve been chasing the platinum on ps5 for Trove for some reason, and it’s such an awful game, but i love it lmao. Just imagine the worst grind possible, and then have lots of that grind in distinct areas of the game, and there you have it. Tbf, i am a recovering destiny 2 addict so it’s par for the course ig.
Outside of that, I’m currently grinding through revita on pc, and tbh it breaks into my top 3 rouguelites with gungeon and nuclear throne above it (sorry isaac). It’s actually so much better than i thought it would be, and the run variety you can get is kinda mad after you put a good bunch of time into it. It takes so many good elements from other roguelites like the heat system from hades and is just a good, all-around experience which I’d say is on par with the big 2 (in my head) of gungeon and isaac (nuclear throne is great but it do lack content fr). My only issue is i put it on veteran mode, and after checking online, everyone says it makes the game worse. I wanna try the easier difficulty just to see how it is, but i cba restarting my save.
Titanfall 2 has a great gameplay and surprisingly good story with the added bonus to not try to lock you in for 300 hours for no reason with stupid boring side quest or “activities”.
