I’m considering Forbidden West a let down of a sequel. Zero Dawn is one of my all time favourite games, and I couldn’t bring myself to finish Forbidden West. They removed the whistling so stealth attacks are almost impossible. The equipment got unnecessarily complicated. Every enemy has been given a range attack so distance fighting is also impossible. The stupid chess game, because everything has to have its own Gwent now. Some of these issues might be fixable with mods on PC.
That’s really interesting, I guess that’s a play style thing huh. For me having just played the dlc very early on into my playthrough of zero dawn (I was level 18 when I started lol) I can definitely see those qualities coming through. And my god is it fun, I’ve never had more fun fighting enemies than I did in that dlc. Enemies having more ranged attacks pushed the difficulty perfectly for me. If anything your comment has made me more excited for the game. Thanks
I loved ZD but I enjoy playing FW more. I find the combat better for my play style, and I’ve even done some of the hunting ground challenges which I found horrible in the first game.
I agree about the board game, except you can do as I do and just not play it. I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything by skipping it.
I loved ZD too, and those changes sound horrible. Very disappointing. I know it’s been out in PS for a while but I largely ignored it since I don’t have that console, and figured I’d wait for PC release. This probably solidifies me waiting for another year to get it closer to 50% off than anytime soon at nearly full price.
