HFW improves on everything the first one did well. Aloy is becoming such an iconic character along with the likes of Nathan Drake and Lara Croft. The new map is just beautiful, and I went out of my way to not fast travel just so I could fully enjoy what the developers have done. The story was definitely better here, with certain plot elements being a huge surprise. All of the characters and locations are phenomenal. Plainsong is definitely my favourite place.

A few things I really enjoyed were the animations, right down to even the small side quests! It gave more flavour to the world as you explored it. I loved all the new machines, and on harder difficulties, they are just great to plan and take down. I’m looking forward to whatever comes next.
