I bought this game on a whim due to the Winter Sale, and also I was curious to see what the hype about this game is all about. As of this writing, I am about an hour or so into the game, and hence, hadn't really gotten into the main story as of yet. But the little that I've seen of Aloy's story and the world, I do like it.

The game is set in a post apocalyptic world that had been largely inhabited by machines, with a few human tribes being the sole humans left in the world - which is a big change from most post-apocalyptic games that I've played in the past. The combat system is easy to pick up, and there are several resources you can pick up around the world and even loot the machines you fell to make better gear and weapons and even upgrade your satchels.

This game runs great on my Steam Deck straight out of the box, and I have no issues when running the game. Ironically, it's on my PC when I run into issues, as the game lag or freeze at certain points, especially during the opening sequence, and even crashed on me a few times. I guess I'll probably be playing this game on my Steam Deck for the foreseeable future until I either upgrade my PC or start building my own.
