matt, Another game completed this year! Horizon: Forbidden West is an unusual case for me of a game that I don't particularly connect with narratively or on a gameplay level, but that it so striking gorgeous (technically and artistically) that I played the whole thing just to see the amazing things it would show me.
Definitely preferred the first game, but I don't know if it's changed since then or I have.
It's a visual treat no matter what, though, and that's worth something.
