So bad. The joke of a "campaign" is so out of touch and cringe. Also the amount of microtransactions is disgusting. I'm glad I bought this on sale because it's not worth full price. The 2k series has fallen off every year and this game is no different.

This game is aggressively mediocre. From mediocre gameplay to boring, one-dimensional writing - the game does a bit of everything, just none of it well. I would wait for a sale and would not recommend buying it a full price.

No. Just no. This game is absolutely horrible. The graphics make the original Doom look like a 4k masterpiece. That is when the cutscenes or textures don't stutter or crash your switch. Then the actual story is so slow and repetitive that I have sadly wasted money on this.

Absolutely amazing game. The game focuses on a great story, told with outstanding voice actors.

The first game was one of my favorite games to play ever. It had a great and interesting story full of compelling characters that drove me to want to finish it. Forbidden West suffers from being a sequel, as it continues on from the previous games story. However, I feel that the most interesting aspects of exploring the post-apocalyptic world were fleshed out and explained in the initial story arc and leave little new to discover. The machines are essentially the same as before, with minor tweaks. The characters you meet have dull story arcs that all revolve around fetch quests of some sort. The graphics are amazing, and account for most of this rating. That is, when Aloy's snake/tentacle hair isn't flailing all over the place, or when the glitchy jumping/climbing allows for yourself and NPCs to get stuck inside mountains (which has happened multiple times - once not allowing me to finish a quest and forcing me to restart from an earlier save). Overall: It's a decent game, not worth its current price and I would definitely recommend waiting until it goes on sale in the future.

Absolutely wonderful show, with clever tasks and hilarious banter!
