I figured it was meant to be a massive release but ive not really heard much about it, all i hear is elden ring, was it just a let down or just very much overshadowed.

I fancy playing the first horizon again while waiting for the second to come down in price.

think it was just overshadowed, elden ring was way more popular. ive heard the game is fine if youre into that but it doesnt do a whole lot different from the first, and then there was the controversy where some of the developers made some salty comments about elden ring which came across as sour grapes and lost some peoples goodwill

It's supposed to be good but they should have known not to release alongside Elden Ring

It's selling well as far as I know. Quite a few folk are waiting to get a PS5 before buying it and those are in short supply. Elden ring is Muti plat too and came out around the same time so more eyes will be on it. Personally I find Horizon more appealing.

Horizon Forbidden West? The discussion I've heard around it is that the graphics are at weird stage of improvement which makes them look worse. As in striving for realism yet seem off somehow, but too close to it so as to no longer qualify as an artistic style. Also people don't like the writing for Alloy.

The overall story is also kind of stupid.

You always have to take with Yahtzee's opinions with a bit of a pinch of salt, but these sum up some of the issues fairly well:

Go play Outer Worlds. Big bad is more or less black Hillary Clinton.

Yeah, but the entire plot of that game is basically "CAPITALISM IS BAD, GET IT?!" written in crayon on a wall by a 12-year old. It has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer to the dick.

Which is sad, because Obsidian is usually better than that. But it basically comes across like they wanted to make New Vegas 2 but didn't really have any good ideas so they half-assed the whole thing so they could finish before the Kickstarter money ran out.

It certainly has a "shimmering" effect for some folk. For me personally I didn't have this issue although on resolution mode the FPS looked a bit rough at first for me. I tried performance mode and that ran well but the graphics take a big hit so I just stick with resolution mode. The game is a good looking game no doubt about it though.

Also people don't like the writing for Alloy.

I've not completed it yet but I find Alloy to have a bit more personality in this one. That's not saying much though.

I normally would agree but the graphics take too much of a hit I find for this game so the trade off isn't worth it for me.
