The Elephant In The Room Vol.1: Horizon: Zero Dawn

[THE 101]

Game was crazy overrated. Travelling the world felt like a chore and the story was typical generic trash that would be laughed at if it was any other medium.

Game is repetitive for real

I enjoyed it, but OP almost has a point. The melee combat does feel like some PS3 era shyt. Where I disagree is the "unsatisfying" aspect. While the melee combat was trash, you'd die quick as fukk relying on that shyt anyway. The combat shines with the fact that there are different elements for different weapons. Mix and matching that while trying to hit the targets weak point made for very fun combat IMO.
And yes, the dialog was also stiff at times, but the story ended up being amazing IMO. 8/10 easy
