From a technical and gameplay perspective, this game is a 9.5/10. Absolutely fantastic gameplay and obscenely good graphics. There are a few bugs but nothing game breaking. It is undeniably an improvement over Zero Dawn.
However, from a story perspective, this game falls just short of its predecessor. It just doesn't have the same mysterious vibe, and subsequently lacks the sense of awe and wonder at exploring the world and unraveling said mystery. Don't get me wrong, I still loved it, mainly because of the characters. Erend remains my favorite. Overall, the story is an 8/10. Great in its own right, but I can't help but feel just a little disappointed when comparing it to Zero Dawn's perfect 10.
