you literally play as Karen in Horizon. Besides graphics, horizon don't really have much going for it. Combat only gets good towards the end of the game, farming ammo and materials makes the game boring af. Physics are trash, can't climb shyt without it having some retarded yellow paint on it, absolutely zero environment interaction & If we talking about gameplay, BOTW does shyt in open world games that yet to be done or replicated and probably never will. You don't have to like the story or graphics but the amount of detail they put into BOTW is light years ahead of Horizon. AI in horizon is also dumb af
man this might seem like a small complaint but it’s such a huge one for a game that’s supposed to be largely open-world...I can live with the “only climb here” clues they use in god of war and TLOU/uncharted since those are meant to be wide linear games even tho it’s still frustrating...but it’s unacceptable and cumbersome in a game like this that offers large exploratory areas...this is legit the first open-world game I have played that I have absolutely no interest in exploring...I’m not gonna force it...third time trying to get into this game and I just can’t...if forbidden west is gonna offer mostly the same shyt with just better graphics/higher framerate then it’s gonna be an easy pass for me
