So I played and finished all these 3 games recently after getting some free time on my hands. I would like to share my feelings about these games here.
Horizon Zero Dawn - I played this first. The initial part where you play as young Aloy was very good. After that, the world opens up. The open world is very beautiful, various kinds of machines roaming the land, the draw distance, the scenary, its a very well made open world. Probably one of the best I've seen. Unfortunately for me, there's not much else I liked about the game. The story only got interesting in the last few missions when you learn the truth. Most of the characters were uninteresting. Gameplay was okay but I wasn't too impressed by it. Overall considering the praise this game got, I was disappointed. Its still overall okay, I'd give it a 6/10. I played a couple of hours of Frozen Wilds too but didn't proceed ahead as I already had enough by then.
Days Gone - I had not paid much attention to this game due to the reception this game got at launch by critics. But I finished it recently and I have to say, although the critics were right to some extent, I feel some were too harsh. The first 5-10 hours aren't the most exciting but after that the story gets good. I will admit that the game was too long for the story it was trying to tell, with a lot of unnecessary filler missions that should have been side quests. But in the end, I still enjoyed this more than HZD overall. Ran better too and looked pretty good as well. Oregon was very well done and I loved the beautiful locations and picturesque landscapes. Some people didn't like the protagonist but I had no issues with him or his voice acting. Hordes were scary but fun to take on towards the end of the game, very challenging. Overall it was a good game. I'd give it a 7/10.It is unfortunate that we won't get a sequel for this.
Cyberpunk 2077 - Finally coming to the most hyped game since GTA V. I just finished this game last night with a few different endings. I played the version 1.3 on PC, had no crashes but there are still quite a few bugs and performance is still not good. I also completed some of the main side quests of important characters. Overall I was unimpressed. Night City while dense and well designed didn't feel alive. NPCs felt lifeless and boring. Car handling was not good. And most importantly what the game was highly praised for- the story, I found fine but not amazing or anything. Some of the characters in the game you get close to are quite good and believable and well written but I'd like to have seen more of them. I played as Nomad and I don't think it made any difference to the story. Overall its still a decent game worth playing once for the story but its a big letdown overall considering the hype it got leading up to the launch. My score for this would be 6/10.
So overall I enjoyed Days Gone bit more than I did the other two much better received games.
Which of these 3 games did you like more, or am I in the minority who feels Days Gone is superior to the other two games.
