The whole Horizon "franchise" seems astroturfed to me. I know only ONE person who's actually played all the games and he's barely talked about em, only said they were okay. Sony seems to want to make Aloy a household name with games that are okay. This isn't how you make a big franchise and I am kind of sick of people pretending it's a big and beloved franchise.
Ignoring the obnoxious girl boss shit, the premise is interesting to me. Mechanically, the games were... Fine? Nothing too unique, but it all worked okay, just too complicated at times for it's own good (in terms of in game stuff, having 30 different bows with different ammo types was fairly dumb and avoidable, for example).
They're all just reskins of the same over-the-shoulder pretend-open-world action collectathons. We've all played this game before somewhere. Gaming is saturated with this derivative nonsense.
At some point, that's always going to be true if you want to generalize that far. It doesn't mean they can't be good, it just means you have to rely on good story telling and characters instead of new mechanics (because they've all been done at this point).
