Horizon is possibly the most astroturfed IP in existence. I have never met a real person who was a hardcore fan. At best, I hear "It's alright. Robo dinos are cool."
Far as I keep hearing the game itself is a lot of "pretty good, wish it had more to it (like more dinos)" while everyone constantly talks about its characters and story which is the weakest part of it.
Like, a game where you shoot giant robo dinosaurs in an open world should be the biggest fact of any game. Instead they want to talk about the dumpy ginger lead.
The characters and story are really weak, and the voice acting sounds like it was all individual lines read from a single sheet of paper without any context to the larger conversation. And of course the moral ends up being "man bad, woman good". The gameplay was decidedly meh with only a couple of fights really standing out. The fact that the "tribes" are all 90s cartoon-level diverse is really immersion breaking.
one thing that also annoyed me. The handholding in the very basic puzzles the game had.
Stand still for more than a moment and she will start monologing about "maybe i should do this this and this"
Of course modders fixed it because there is no option to disable it in the menus.
