What's the game about? does it have good combat design?

The game takes place in the 31st century, when large, animal-like machines roam the Earth, hunted by humans living in tribal communities. The world is set in the aftermath of an unknown cataclysmic event.

The story follows Aloy, a girl who grew up as an outcast with -- who I assume to be, though the story might say otherwise -- her guardian and tries to rejoin the nearby tribe to find out her past.

In terms of the combat, it's mainly a cat-and-mouse game with the large robotic animals in the wild. You can do stealth takedowns, kills with your spear or kills with your bow. There are also variations of bombs, bows and other slings to help lay traps. You harvest materials from the slain robots to trade for "shards" that'll get you better armor and weapons.

The game has a huge world and becomes open after the first couple of hours.

This is as far as I know from not reading any material and playing about three hours.

The PC game is a PS4 port, so take that what you will. It runs fine on my computer, but I won't be surprised if I encounter some kind of issue in the later game.

Should you buy it? It's up to you. I'd check out some LPs to get sense of the combat and see if the world and story appeals to you. I read many posts saying the story and character development are great, the lore is deep and the game rewards exploration.

It's pretty good if you like post-apoc.

No, it is actually a little better: the towers are big moving mechanical beasts, combat is more varied, and, contrary to the latest ACs, the level scaling is absent (or less prominent), and you can skip the side activities. And the setting is pure post-apoc sci-fi, without any pretense.

I'm playing this too and having a lot of fun. I'm glad my machine is playing this without any hitches, unlike the many complaints of crashes and bugs.

I wasn't aware of the frequent techincal issues in the PC port. I am about 10 hours in and I have never experienced any crashes/stutters or other issues so far. However I see that patches are coming.

Looks like I found where exactly Larian took inspiration for the gith girl scene...

No mods? Then why does the interface look so minimalistic?

Just -fullscreen in the shortcut. IIRC this feature was added with the last official 1.7.0.4 patch.

He follows me everywhere!

But in the end, he died.

NOLF would have made for a good movie series. I feel like the "campy" zone between Austin Powers and 007 was eventually filled by those Kingsmen movies.

Hey, the nemesis system is a welcome (mainstream) addition to video games, especially if it's done precisely how shadow of war/mordor did it. Getting ambushed on higher difficulties was
