Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
183 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
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.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
141 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is challenging without feeling unfair, the progression system is satisfying.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
106 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Figuring out how to pick apart, disable, and expose robo-dino's weak spots with different skills/weapons in combat is still fun.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
105 of 300 sampled reviews raised 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.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's lots I'd love to compliment this game for, but all-in-all, it's a game I'd definitely recommend if you like robots, combat, difficulty, story, RPG mechanics, and an open-world.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s stunning, immersive, and extremely well optimized, which makes exploring it even more enjoyable.
