The verdict
A gorgeous, content-packed sequel with excellent machine combat, but bloated systems, weak writing and a grating Aloy. Skip it if you want a lean follow-up to Zero Dawn.
Great for
Zero Dawn fans who want a bigger, prettier world and deep machine-hunting combat
Main risk
Bloated gear systems, grind and long, weak dialogue can wear you down
