so right now in the game i just discovered that the earth was taken over by some evil self-replicating hungry robots. project zero dawn sought to fix it and now Avallac'h... errr i mean the guy in the focus is telling me to find out what that is.

is it just gonna be "oh no robots are killing us all. let's nuke the planet and start over"

cuz im having fun in HZD but people kept raving about its story and its literally just overwatch

No, unlucky you went in with the story hyped tbh. While it's not exactly what you said, it's definitely along those lines. In many ways this game is just a prologue for a more interesting future story. And personally I think the DLC story is a bit more interesting, but not amazing or anything.

I disagree with the above poster. I found the story of horizon zero Dawn quite interesting. Especially everything to do with Ted Faro

I really liked the story from the journals you find scattered throughout the world. The ones that give you a glance of the old world.

The robots aren't good or evil. They're just machines.

I'll add that although I don't think it's all that unique or interesting of a story, it's told well imo so I enjoyed it well enough.

Same. I won't go into any spoilers but the story is pretty depressing TC, and while it isn't unique I did enjoy the way it was told and how it ended.

Not all the robots are self-replicating from organic content and responsible for killing humanity. There's a point to the animalistic ones you've been coming across.

The early game side quests are worse than the late game ones imo, so I'd try to stick with it. And there are a fair number of story quests, but they expect you to do some side content for levels I think. So you have the dlc?

It's an okay story. Fairly standard sci fi/fantasy stuff.

Game itself is pretty fun though

Yeah, I felt like it was pretty easy to figure out most of what happened to the world from the beginning. It all seemed like it was supposed to be fairly self-explanatory from the get-go even without the first flashback involving the holograph with Faro.

But they do add a lot to it afterwards. It's not an unusual plot device by any means, but the stroytelling and the world they created is just presented very well.
