To me, this game takes everything great about Horizon Zero Dawn and takes it to the next level and improves pretty much everything. The climbing is better, the dialogue and character animations in cutscenes are much better in this game than the first, and the combat has significantly improved for the better. Finished the game, and my opinion still stands. This game was a fantastic sequel to a already fantastic game, it improved just about everything and while I do have some minor issues with the game they are not enough to stop me from enjoying this game to the fullest. Absolutely worth all the time and effort to finish.
