Don’t crucify me but I’ve tried HZD and did not like it. I also tried God of War (2018) and I didn’t get very far. Maybe I was not in the right headspace but both of them felt the same to me like a game forcefully trying to make me feel something but I could not connect to either.
Might be my bubble, but I don't think disliking HZD is a particularly unpopular opinion. Personally, I really enjoyed it, but I can definitely understand why someone wouldn't. Aloy can be both boring and annoying and the story didn't really live up to its potentia. I can see why it would be difficult to get into it.
For me, the gameplay more than makes up for those shortcomings. Fighting robot dinosaurs with bow and arrow is right up my alley. Also the latest DLC for the sequel made Aloy actually interesting for the first time, so I have some hopes for story in the third game.
Of all the Sony exclusives to come on PC, Days Gone has actually been my favourite.
For me same with both! I found them greatly over hyped, but that is fine - plenty of other great games to play.
First time I tried HZD I didn't like it either. Found the 1st hour or so extremely boring.
The 2nd time however I really liked it.
I just can't get over how poor the bows feel.
