This is one of my all time favorites. It's a must play game!
It has everything that Horizon Zero Dawn offered plus a lot more. Although I liked HZD story better.
Graphics: The best till date. I ended up using photo mode a lot which I typically don't care on other games. I would wander in the gorgeous open world.
Gameplay: Definitely much better than HZD with so many weapons to choose from and with far better skills tree. Also, customization option on several things is so great such as easy loot, sprint option, bypassing resource pick up animation etc.
Dualsense: I loved some of the dualsense features in the game when you use a bow, pry door open, walk through tall grass etc.
Machines: New machines are awesome, especially Slaughterspine, Clawstrider and of course Sunwing which makes exploring so much fun in NG+. I completed main story after exploring most of the map in my first playthrough.
Music: Amazing music overall, especially when you fight certain machines.
Characters: I like Aloy's character but the new companions are great as well. Better voiceovers than HZD.
Weapons: A lot of new weapons. You can choose whichever fits your play style.
Armors: A lot of new armors to choose from. I love transmog feature to use best armor but use look of any other good looking armors.
Load times are almost negligible most of the times. Fast traveling is much better. I love how easy inventory management is, anything beyond carrying capacity goes to your stash.
Looking forward to Burning Shores DLC!
