Storytelling: It's great, probably next to The Last of Us. However, the lip sync is off at times, could be annoying to some people. To me, it's a flaw which can be overlooked given there are so many other things to enjoy in this game. I think dialogues are very well written and voice acting is good as well. Music: Pretty good music throughout the game, love Aloy's theme. Landscape: It's a vast and beautiful open world for you to explore. Save points are throughout the map. Fast travel is easy and accessible. There are different hostile and non-hostile things to kill all over the place. Graphics: The best till date on any console and for any games that I've played thus far or watched youtube videos, be it Rise of the Tomb Raider, Uncharted 4, Elder Scrolls Online, Witcher 3 etc. Machines: There are different kinds of machines which are beautifully designed, with the right strategy you can kill most of them relatively easily, gotta learn how to hunt when you play the game! Weapons: An Interesting selection that goes well with the game theme. Almost each type of weapon has something to offer, it's up to you how to use the selection that's at your disposal. I personally enjoyed most of the weapons. I usually prefer bows over guns and that's another reason for me to absolutely love this game. Armors: Usually I do not like armors offered in most of the games after experiencing the Daedric armor in Skyrim. However, this game offers quite a few armors that are absolutely beautiful. I did enough farming which I enjoyed, unlike Elder Scrolls Online, to buy each and every weapon and armor that was available. Game style: You can run and kill some machines or go for stealth kills using the spear, but for some, you need more finesse which would require traps and ranged attacks. I personally enjoyed different strategies to exploit most weapons. Skills: I think skill tree is a bit brief but well explained and pretty relevant which makes it easy to know where you want to prioritize to use your skill points unlike some games which have too much going on and you have little clue how to get most out of your skill points as some upgrades are little to no use. Crafting: This is very well laid out and you can do it on the go as long as you have enough resources. I always had plenty of resources because I spent quite a bit of time just exploring the beautiful world and farming for the resources. I think I like the fact that I didn't have to gather hundreds of things like some other RPG games. Collectibles: I think people who like to find each and every collectible will enjoy this aspect of the game because there are a lot of collectibles scattered all over the huge open world. Inventory: The interface is beautiful and easy to navigate. However, the modification section is a bit unorganized where uncommon, rare and very rare mods are not sorted appropriately. Quickslots: Appropriate and easily accessible, comes handy in the heat of a fight. Controls: Responsive and easy. Photo Mode: You can use this feature to capture beautiful screenshots throughout the game. I've posted a couple of screenshots here. My current PS4 Theme is custom using one of the many screenshots that I have from the game. Difficulty: I played the game on the normal difficulty which I think was neither too hard nor too easy. I saw a couple of people giving the game bad rating because they did not like the difficulty level (either too difficult or too easy), to me this is in your control and you can choose whatever difficulty you want. If you need some challenge or want to take it easy you can change the difficulty. Issues: I have not experienced any issues while playing the game. I think some people experienced game crashing during the intro video which I think has already been addressed. Overall I think this game is a perfect blend of primal and futuristic world with amazing graphics and story to give you an amazing gaming experience. I think each aspect of the game is beautiful and what makes this game amazing is the fact that each piece goes very well together. There is a lot to do and this game is fun all the way. I did not mind logging in countless hours into this game.
