I love this game, but there's simply too much to do, to the extent it's beginning to drag.
Why do they make games so big nowadays? Quality not quantity! And when a game has both, it kinda ruins the experience. As good as Horizon's gameplay is, there's only so many times you can travel to a quest, kill machines, collect an item, or rescue folks, and return to the quest giver, before it gets repetitive.
When a game is this big it puts me off re-playing after I complete it. I'd rather have a game that takes 20/30 hours to complete, but you still want to replay it afterwards.
It's difficult, the game is so good, and I really don't want to say anything negative about it, but that's how I feel!
That may come across contradictory, but hopefully folks will understand where I'm coming from.
I do see where you are coming from. I put about 80 hours into FW and when I put it down think I was about 80% complete. That was main quest, all the side quests and a few other bits I found interesting. Not going to waste hours trying to mop up every last collectible. As soon as I decided I was done with it I sold it, chances are I’ll never go back to it unless there’s some really compelling DLC. Even then I’ll wait a year or two until the base game is cheaper.
