Updating my original review here to t stars, I’ve played probably about 20+ hours (like to take my time and run every single side quest, errand, etc rather than rushing through the main story to finish the game). While I still think controls for horizon zero dawn we’re way more intuitive, and HFW takes a bit getting used to, you eventually get there.
I’m probably about halfway done with the game or maybe less than that but I’m savoring every single bit of it. What an amazing story guerrilla really did create a great sequel to HZD. I hope DLC’s (yeah hoping for multiple) come out soon and that we can eventually get a 3rd installment.
To anyone wanting to play HFW due to all the hype, try to play HZD first so you can have a better understanding of the story and the whys in this game.
