Recent notes from these games
4The open world holds up remarkably well. Side quest writing is genuinely better than most modern RPGs.
The remaster's lighting makes the Imperial City feel genuinely grand. The jankiness that I remember is still there in moments, but now it reads as charm.
Story picked up significantly after the first few quests. Aloy's world starts making sense in a way that rewards paying attention.
The remaster is stunning. Lighting on the machines and foliage is dramatically better than I remembered.
