What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Story starts with a small scope and expands into unimaginable world lore with cool character growth, I love it.
Partly due to the excellent Decima graphics engine used in Killzone Shadowfall, the Death Stranding and Horizon games being an absolute workhorse for efficiently handling large open world environments layered LODs, textures, materials, reflections and lighting.
Story and gameplay is still good, the majority of side quests are relatively decent, standard RPG fare, but respect your time, and typically add to the world building and characters of the game.
Cool characters, amazing voice acting, this game is like a good book that once you get into it, you just can't put it down.
It’s stunning, immersive, and extremely well optimized, which makes exploring it even more enjoyable.
