Horizon: Forbidden West is an improvement on the already impressive formula established in Zero Dawn. The character acting in this game is some of the best I have ever seen in a video game. The side quests are also much improved and more engaging. While I did enjoy the combat, I found myself wanting more missions that involved interacting with the machines rather than just fighting against them. Overall, Horizon: Forbidden West is a fantastic game that builds upon its predecessor and delivers a truly immersive and engaging experience.

Decent game, but a bit of a let-down after the amazing experience of Mass Effect 2. Despite this, I still enjoyed it more than Mass Effect 1 due to its increased variability, improved gameplay mechanics, and my already established love for the world and characters. I was disappointed to see that half of the story was locked behind DLCs, which felt like an atrocity and detracted from the overall experience. The power wheel was still quite slow and there were a number of fetch quests that felt quite mundane. All in all, Mass Effect 3 was a step down from the incredible experience of Mass Effect 2, but it was still an enjoyable game.

The highlight of the series. A wild ride from second one. Interesting character dynamics, a change of pace and more variability. Every mission feels handcrafted, every character has purpose. Will be telling my kids about Mordin singing. Could have done without planet scanning though and instead with more to do on the Citadel.
The gameplay feels clunky though. The use of the power wheel takes so much speed out of the fights. Barely ever used it. But luckily I didn't need it to get ahead and enjoy the story.

I abandoned Origins very fast but loved Odyssey. I can't really put a finger on what made me love this game more, but it just clicked. I guess a lot was thanks to Kassandra, even more her brilliant voice acting.
Furthermore, I just liked the world, I had a big Ancient Greece phase in school. Sadly, the different story lines felt a bit incoherent and specially the ending of the Order-Questline was a big disappointment for me. Also, the quest design was very repetitive and played into the very grindy levelling. So, it's not perfect, but a game I will cherish in the future. I definitely will go back and play the DLCs in the future.

Loved to hate it.
Played it immediately after AC: Odyssey which might have been a mistake. The difference in quality is obvious, AC: Valhalla feels very rough and with little attention to detail. The focus was on a BIG world with a LOT to do.; the story and overall world coherence fell behind.
That is not to say I did not enjoy it at all, and I nearly played it as long as AC: Odyssey, but I did not fall in love with it. Eivor as protagonist fell also flat. I have the feeling having the option to switch between a female and male version is a fake out. Yes, you can play as a woman which is still revolutionary by Ubisoft standards, but it makes them interchangeable and without real character. It nearly boils down to a Mrs. Pac-Man version. With Kassandra, it felt more in tune with the world and also the voice acting was way better. I wish Ubisoft would take the time to develop an authentic female protagonist and don't just carbon copy their male protagonists.
