Aloy travels west into a post-apocalyptic America overrun by robotic beasts. She hunts machines, explores ruins and uncovers a threat to the whole world. It's one of the best-looking games ever made.
Kit's verdict · 8.2/10
A gorgeous, generous sequel that crams in a bit too much busywork.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Stunning visuals and landscapes
- Superb machine fights
- Great side activities like Machine Strike
Not so much
- Cluttered open world
- Story gets lost in exposition
Play it if fans of the first game and players who love hunting big beasts.
Skip it if anyone tired of map-icon open worlds.

Tips
Play it better
- Scan every machine with Focus to see its weak spots, elements and detachable parts.
- Shoot off heavy weapons like the Ravager cannon with Tearblast arrows, then pick them up and use them.
- The Pullcaster grapple and Shieldwing glider make climbing and descending much faster.
- Valor Surges are special abilities; pick one that suits your style and use it often.
- Upgrade weapons at workbenches, since better rarity weapons gain new ammo types.
- Play Machine Strike in settlements; it's a deep board game with its own rewards.
