Read my subsequent posts. Or you can cry about it some more, I guess. The negs in that review are worrisome, but very opinion-based. Like I said, if you like foraging for shite and looking for collectibles and shite, that's fine. I don't, and that reviewer doesn't seem to either. Most worrying part is the stale quests though

It's been on my Amazon wishlist since the very first trailer. Sorry I'm not big into confirmation bias and reading only good reviews

I mean that review sounds like it could be for any open-world RPG ever

I'm not a huge fan of crafting or grinding for better equipment either (easily my least favorite part of Witcher 3), but I'm sure you can largely avoid the systems if you want (like in Witcher 3).

The stuff about the story and side stuff is more concerning, but both are getting good reviews elsewhere so I'll go in with an open mind

If the combat is good, I'm sure the game will be good. Too many open-world games struggle with core gameplay (why I dislike Bethesda), but according to every review, fighting robot dinos is great. I'm pumped

Carson, the Witcher is a great game and I love it but 70-90% of the quests are the same.

It usually involves a fetch quest at its core and it can have multiple locations and maybe a monster or bandit fight or two.

That's literally most of the game.

Calling horizon out on its stale quests is not merited.

Hell, im a huge FF fanboy who loves XV, yet the quests are all the same there too.

Throw Skyrim or FO4 in there for good measure. Fact is that you have little true variation in open world games when it comes down to it. The main difference becomes the core gameplay and combat system, and story . It looks like horizon nails these
