in the many ways this game is better than predecessor but it feels less polished than zero dawn. some mechanics are straight up annoying like climbing and melee combat i don't remember these mechanics to be that annoying in zero dawn. but this game feels like a huge upgrade graphics wise, story wise and this game has great side-quests. imho it's must buy if you enjoyed the last one not so much if you didn't because this game is going to annoy you more than the previous one
