Scary edition of the weekly thread 👻

What have you been playing!

I've been playing the re4 dlc! And, on the other end of the spectrum, the original yoshis island, as I had never finished it before.

I started playing Horizon Forbidden West, while this game is still okay, it seems like it's taking some steps backwards:

it's becoming more AssAssIn's Creed like, with lots of stuff on the map
they should retire the focus / investigative / detective vision, because it's really hard to see now
the movement is still janky, Aloy feels slow even on a mount. While the climbing doesn't feel good
too many button inputs, sometimes they also feel inconsistent, and sometimes it feels like they are running out of buttons on the controller
way too many weapons / armors that I probably won't use. Why not discard the rarity type, and let user level up the weapons instead?
it also has the trap of games with HDR, aka it's too dark to see
foliage sometimes obscures the whole thing that you can't see what's happening
while side quests are unique, many of the characters are kinda boring and forgettable. Often I need to sit thru a long and boring / predictable conversation just to get a quest started.

Besides those complaints, I am still enjoying the game. It has an unique setting, and gameplay that prioritizes bow and arrows. However it feels like they are moving into AssAssIn's Creed bloat.
