The first game was truly the best I have ever played. The story kept me engaged and the combat was so satisfying.
HFW was a great game all around, but killing machines was frustrating. HZD allowed many different styles of combat to kill the various robots - HFW forces you to use the exact type of ammo on the exact right spot or else there’s no chance of winning.
The story didn’t grip me as hard as the first one. I can’t tell you why - it just didn’t. It wasn’t bad in the least bit, but it didn’t have the same wow factor as HZD.
Absolutely worth playing still.
