At last. Over 100 hours of gameplay. Could’ve been a lot more. But I’ve finished it. Took me just 7 months. Not much in my calendar. đ
One of the best games I’ve played thus far. I’d rate it higher than Mass Effect. And that’s something in my List. It is just beautifully crafted. Nice views, great places, funny people. And Action. Quite a lot of Action. So what is it about …
You play Aloy. A young outcast from the tribe of the Nora. Raised by another outcast, named Rost, you grew up without parents. After you’ve learned, that if you can win a trial, a ritual hold for young adults – the Matriarchs – leaders of the Nora – allowing the victor the answer to any question. So Aloy begins years of hard training to finally get into this trial (the tutorial features the years from a young girls age up to adulthood). As Aloy you try to solve all the mysteries about why you’ve been outcast. You’ll find out eventually. But there is more…
The setting is our world, in the far future. Some hundred years after the worlds final destruction in 2065. You can visit some lost places. Collect loot and treasures from the ‘Old ones’. Visit the remains of old cities, long taken by nature. What’s left, are huge machines, machines resembling animals, machines your tribe hunts for technical parts. So what is Aloys part in all this? ~highly recommended~ ^^
