1/5 ★ – Chara789's review of Horizon: Zero Dawn Complete Edition.

The machines are really good. Their backstory is very good with GAIA and HADES and all that. I liked their story. Other than that, this game sucks. The actually story outside of the backstory is very predictable and not any good. There is not a single character I grew attached to, even though plenty of games have gotten me attached to characters very quickly. The soundtrack was completely forgettable, though not bad at least. The graphics aren't bad either, but just feel like another AAA game. Can we please get more AAA games with a focus on art style instead of trying to look realistic. It also doesn't help that the cutscenes look very stiff. And the gameplay honestly sucks. I was playing on Normal, and still had to turn down the difficulty to have any fun because otherwise I was getting two shot. Considering I've beat the Fromsoft titles, I know I can enjoy difficulty, but here damage was just majorly overturned. It also doesn't help that the melee combat sucks and I don't think I've ever liked bow combat in games. Admittedly, that parts personal preference, so you might enjoy it more than me, but other than that, yeah, this game is not good.
