Damn too late on the game discounts though.

The nicest AAA game of last year. As in, the AAA game with the least amount of industry bullshit. No lootboxes, no bullshotting, no graphics crippling the performance or gameplay, and a Game of the Year edition where the DLC is actually on the disc.

Getting those face paints is a ridiculous hassle though.

I just lost interest in the game. It just felt like an another open world Ubisoft game. The dinosaurs weren't enough to keep it interesting, the plot jumped the shark in the proving, and the main chick is just...bland.

The plot was interesting enough that I wanted to keep going, but I sadly do agree that it is just too much open world stuf going on. I like exploring regions, and such, but I don't like needless crafting.

Atleast I could make my partner happy with this game, so I didn't feel like I wasted money.

I had played and 100% both Assassin's Creed Pirates and Shadow of Mordor. I just couldn't bring myself to do it a third time, scouring the map for little tiny collectibles, secret ruins and runes, and unlock-able costumes.

Fair enough. The main attraction is the big robot dinosaur fights, and if that doesn't do it for you there's little else to get too excited about. The biggest issue with the game is the characterisation, something a squel will hopefully fix. The DLC already made some baby steps.

I didn't care too much about the story myself, but the fate of the pre-apocalypse Earth, which comes into focus in the final third of the game, is actually quite engaging.

Horizon literally has less collectibles than Uncharted 4. One of the most shocking moments of the game was literally, not joking, picking up the first metal flower and the game prompting me I had collected 1/30 vs 1/100 or something like that. There's about 10 places of interest per area on the map.
