Horizon Forbidden West - Ultra Hard Difficulty - Part 28 of 36

Aloy continues her quest to save the world, probably. The game is extremely polished and generally very well done, the story and characters are generally very strong and memorable, the combat and RPG elements are generally very well done; there's definitely a lot to like about the game. I did say 'generally' because I don't think the game is without issues. I won't into detail here because I go through all the pros and cons of the game in my (eep) 90-plus-minute diatribe (with video examples!) about what I think about the game in the last part of the series. Suffice to say that, as you'll see throughout the playthrough, the game has a lot of quality of life improvements that don't really improve the game; they just slow down the game in various ways, which I don't think helps the game overall. The changes are generally small changes but are pretty core to the game, so though they're not a constant issue, they pop up throughout the game. The positives the game has, though, are consistently there throughout the game. I mean, the game is absolutely gorgeous and (after a small tweak to the max fps) ran well. The story is very strong and the added RPG elements help with the many varied builds you can make to suit any style of play. All of this is vague, but you'll see my frustrations and praise as you watch the playthrough. At the end of the day, I'm very happy I played through the game and I'm very curiously anticipating the final part in the likely trilogy of Horizon games. I hope you enjoy!
