Unfortunately, "Rost" is dead.

Rest In Peace Rost.

the fact that you have to pay extra if you bought the complete Edition is insane!! Plus now i have to make a PSN account to play a game i bought before they stuck there nose out f*&k this game im out

This is a beautiful game and whilst fighting there is very little resemblance to war. The graphics are amazing (even much better in the Forbidden West). I don't like war games at all, but this one stuck with me. Restoring faith in mankind is a noble cause as well.

Beat this game on PS4

Graphics- Amazing
Gameplay - Great
Story - Amazing
overall _ Amazing a must play.

Don’t mind the hours - I played through the remastered version but wanted to review the standard copy, focusing on the core aspects.

One of the best open-world games ever developed? Note that I didn’t just say “games” or “Action-RPGs.” It took me three attempts to really get into it because, initially, the characters and overall story didn’t grab my interest. The opening hour felt as though it broke all the best practices in game design - no compelling points of interest, no exciting action to hook you in. You’re introduced to an odd tribal storyline, led through the dullest dungeon imaginable, and asked to take down some of the game’s simplest machines. I had better things to do at that time.

But once I got through those early hours in the remastered version, I fell in love with the world and the incredible machines designs. The story itself didn’t captivate me much, but the core gameplay loop was highly addictive. You’re out there exploring stunning biomes, learning how to exploit the unique weaknesses of various machines, and occasionally diving underground to solve puzzles and uncover the lore of the world. It felt like Red Dead Redemption 2 without the emphasis on narrative. Throughout, it had strong vibes of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - the story wasn’t the main draw for me there either, but the sheer sense of exploration was almost tangible.

And I have to call out the insane snow tech in the DLC - though that might be a remaster-exclusive feature.

I’ve heard the developers are working on an MMO, and I can see how it could succeed. The world is insanely rich.

I absolutely LOVE this game. Like, fell in love with it before an hour had passed.
It has heart; video games are often half movie these days, and they made me give a damn about the characters almost right away. The world-building is intriguing, and I look forward to learning more.

The visual design almost spot-on; character's eyes and lip-sync are a tiny bit uncanny valley, but other than that, it's top-notch.

The 3rd-person controls (often the bane of my existence) are intuitive and easy to use. I never lose track of where my character's feet are or which direction she's actually headed, and they ease you through the jumping puzzles instead of making them frustrating. I could ask for an easy and intuitive way of knowing when an enemy is in melee range, but otherwise, it's solid.

I'm really enjoying this game.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I'm a PC gamer who is not a fan of 3rd-person games at all for varied and sundry reasons not worth listing here.

Very good gameplay and story

Sony forces you to sign into an account - an error occured - i cannot play the game

Hunt many different types of giant robots with a bow. Loot for parts to upgrade your equipment. Repeat.

No really, it is a masterpiece. The graphics, sounds and immersion are top notch. Whatever your combat play style, this has something for you.
- Want to go in guns blazing? Go for it.
- Prefer a more stealthy approach? Use a variety of bows to wreak havoc.
- Need to prevent enemies from flanking you? Lay down trip wires and elemental traps.
- Or maybe you want to override a machine and let them fight your enemies, well you can do that too =)

Now the bad stuff:
- Inventory management is a mess. If you're a hoarder, then very likely you will need to disassemble or drop items often once you run out of room.
- Switching between dodge, run and crouch can be very awkward when playing using keyboard and mouse.
- The skill trees are not very balanced. By the time you get around to unlocking the last few skills, you may be near the final quest. Which is really a shame, as several of those would help in the earlier parts. It also means you need to plan ahead as to which skills to prioritise.
- Some weapons are laughably ineffective against the more powerful machines. Expect to use strategy and skill, or risk getting pummelled into the snow.

Verdict: Definitely worth it despite its flaws and has plenty of replay value.

Awesome

The bad:
Inventory system is a bit weak especially early on

The good:
Combat is fun
Quests and narrative are well done
Relatively few bugs

Best game "new" game I've played in the last 5 years
