After playing for 73.4 hours, here’s what I think about this game. Just a note, I played the Complete Edition, not the remastered version.

The game has stunning visuals with beautiful landscapes that are a joy to explore. You can take your time soaking in the scenery while discovering all the little details the world has to offer.

The combat gives you lots of options to experiment with. Whether you prefer going head-on or sneaking around, the choice is yours. There’s also some solid customization, like picking the right weapons for the right machines, adding powerful mods to your gear, and a skill tree that’s actually useful.

Each new area you unlock brings new machines to fight, though you’ll notice some familiar ones, especially the ones you can use as mounts. And whenever you’re out exploring or unlocking new campsites, you might run into new characters with fresh quests to keep you busy.

Overall, this game is absolutely worth trying if you’re into open-world games with breathtaking environments and awesome gameplay.

9/10
Great story, plenty of lore, fun gameplay.
Slightly longer load times.

I finished most side missions and played through the main game and DLC. I'm still looking back on it fondly <3

Shooting down giant mech-dinosaurs with your arrows and bombs, how can you not love it.

+ Environment is great looking, quality still holds up. Several biomes from desert, mountain, tundra, ruins, jungle, temperate forest etc.
+ A good variation of weapons tho the main focus will be ranged and not melee (even though you have a spear).
+ A lot of different enemy types (especially the mechs), though your strat will always be to dodge and shoot, dodge and shoot.
+ Voice acting is by and large very good. RIP Lance Reddick
+ / - Music is alright. Nothing major, but also not unpleasant to the ear.
+ / - Story depends on your taste. I personally like the post-apoc future view on the "ancients" and finding how things came to be they way it is, but it's also a bit over the top preachy on certain things. Characters often seem a bit simple, like they decided to give the character one personality trait and centre everything around that "that's the stupid character. that's the compassionate character. that's the racist character. that's the brave character",
+ / - A few characters are memorable, but the majority not at all. Spoiler For example seeing the people in the battle for the spire I had totally forgotten about most of the ones that showed up
+ / - I had to double check this was not a Ubisoft game /s. There's a lot of exploration, side quests and stuff to do. Not made particularly interesting imo but maybe you might like it. Doing them can be a bit grindy though.
- There are a few bugs still now and again. Enemy bodies clipping through the ground. You clipping through the ground. Certain places your camera angle can clip through and see behind walls especially in cauldrons. But it's mostly minor things.
- Control options that are lacking imo. Like missing the option to decide if running is toggle or hold to run.

Tl:dr
If you're in the mood for a long post-apoc game with mech-dinos then grab it on sale
