Then why even fucking bother with the game? Just so you can virtue signal about hating it?

Janeva presents as male, and says "I'm not one of your sisters. No woman can wear Carja armour," but his name is Janeva. By Carja naming conventions, a vowel sound at the end denotes a girl, suggesting Janeva was assigned female at birth and has kept his name, but has assumed the role, attire, and look of a male. In a way, it's progressive - many trans people change their name in order to go stealth, and even those like myself who are openly trans change their names because of the stress society places on names, and because using a male name would likely see society question our gender even further. The youngest generation seem to be opting for gender neutral names in a punk inversion of these conventions - see: Hunter Schafer - but Janeva's embrace of his birth name while rejecting his birth gender is equally fascinating.
Yes, quite fascinating

There is a lot more to the narrative than meets the eye. I am not sensitive to spoilers but this game has to be experienced to understand it and a lot of things come into focus about halfway through. It's good to great, even with all of the other stuff that has already been mentioned. The quick respawn I had forgotten about but mostly by the end I was good enough at the combat that it was more of a hassle to fight anything than a challenge. There is equipment to helps trivialize encounters if you aren't looking to play dress up. It's sad if they nerfed Aloy's face in this version too because LGBTards decided to ruin another game like they did ME: Andromeda. We live in the time with the best stuff but the worst culture.

The game is good, because you can make a lot of assumptions about what the plot is going to be when you start, and it still ends up surprising you exactly what path it takes to get there. It's obvious you're in a post-apocalypse from the start, and yet exactly what happens, and what different things that different people chose to do about it, matter a lot to the big reveals in the story. The graphics are one of the main strong points, unless you have a potato PC. The sequel has probably the best graphics of any game on any system.
The only real downside to the game is that there's a lot of sidequest bloat in the middle, and yes, the more sidequests you cram into a modern western RPG, the more sidequests are going to have some random woke bullshit in it, because apparently the junior devs that get assigned to sidequest-making all apparently want to put their personal hobby horses in the game.

Is it?
If you hate everything about the game then feel free to stop playing.
Otherwise you're just threadshitting every minor gripe when some of us are expecting some fresh Zero Dawn news

It's not like half the threads in this forum are already about arguing about this kind of shit. Then again the crowd over in the Movies/TV sections would probably just agree with him.

Did they make her more mousey or something? She's not classically attractive which was probably intentional to get uggos like

to identify with her more and she has a unisex name. Grrrl power, unconventionally attractive, unisex name and possible lesbian -- this is the dream SJW stew.- 1

Yeah I can't get into this game, I just finished the Proving so really, really early but the Elden Ring hangover is real. I find myself constantly criticizing the movement and climbing and combat...

That's the tutorial. Anyone who quits this game before they get to the first Cauldron is doing themselves a disservice. There's a lot more going on than it first appears.

They made her more manly and square jawed for the sequel, I know. Previous comments seemed to indicate that this ugging-up was also retroactively included in the original game at some point. I haven't played since the Frozen North? DLC. I was looking forward to the sequel until they showed how badly they had Trannyed her face and decided to pass.Did they make her more mousey or something?

There were no retroactive changes. This is literally just some incel mental illness that started on Twitter.
You should all seriously examine yourselves.
