I finished the dlc, it was ok.
The issue I had is that it takes me a while to get back into the combat, not the controls which are easy to remember but remembering which weapon to use to do the best type of damage, remembering the diverse abilities that I have and which is best when. Remembering which parts of the monsters to shoot first to be most efficient. Stuff that becomes second nature when you played from the beginning for 60-60 hours. so basically by the time I’m comfortable again with the game, it’s over. That’s not a negative against the gam itself, it’s a personal issue and it happens with every game I don’t play for a long time to some degree, just feel worse in this game.
I mostly just stuck to the main story which should say a lot to anyone that knows how I usually play these games. The story was decent enough, one of the reason for skipping so much of the side stuff is the ability to fly. While it’s cool to fly, like in most games that has flying it makes skipping stuff so easy that it kinda defeats the purpose of the game for me, since usually I get distracted on my way to do something. What I mean is that i get a quest to go to point A and while running there I start doing a bunch of stuff along the way that pop up on my screen, or appear on the map. With flying I just end up going directly to point A avoiding any distractions.
Horizon Zero dawn is one of my top 3 games of all time, the story, gameplay, the setting, visuals etc…every thing was perfect. Its dlc was pretty good too. Forbidden West kept the gameplay amazing and improved upon it, but the story was not as good, and the side quests especially were not good, the development of the setting was also below the standard set by the first game. This dlc just was more of the same.
I‘m still looking forward to the 3rd one since I like the gameplay so much and the setting is still so interesting. I hope they manage to recapture of the magic of the first one though. They definitely need to up the quality of the writing.
