Man, it's always funny to see the people swarm out and try to defend this by shitting on people who point out the uglification of characters.

From the comments:

First of all, you should get laid.
As soon as posible

Neither is "sexualized," one is just pretty, while the other isn't. Also, regardless of how often you get laid, one of these is much more pleasant to look at, while the other is the intentional destruction of beauty. Has nothing to do with getting laid.

And then this guy here says she looks fine in the game...then posts images of her looking ugly.

Then when someone said fantasy character, some smarmy fucks were like "It's SCI-FI, LOL." It's...kind of both. It's technically sci-fi, but the aesthetic is obviously very, very heavily fantasy-inspired. Also, who cares?

Also, never forget the Aloy concept art. Sorry for Reddit link, that was the best version I found. Also, it's hilarious that all fanart is more attractive than what they went with in game.
