Welcome to a vibrant world rich with the beauty of nature – but inhabited by awe-inspiring, highly advanced machines. As a young machine hunter named Aloy, you must unravel the mysteries of this world and find your own destiny.
Kit's verdict · 8.5/10
Robot dinosaurs and a great sci-fi mystery make up for a so-so open world.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Machine fights are tactical and thrilling
- A sci-fi mystery that pays off
- Aloy is a strong lead
Not so much
- Melee combat is weak
- Human enemies are dull next to the machines
Play it if players who love tactical hunting and a big sci-fi mystery.
Skip it if anyone tired of open-world crafting and climbing towers.

Tips
Play it better
- Use your Focus to scan machines and show their weak points before attacking.
- Shoot off components like a Thunderjaw's disc launcher, then pick it up and use it against them.
- Lay tripwires and traps before a big hunt, then lure the machine in.
- Clear Cauldrons to learn how to override more machine types and ride them.
- Use the Ropecaster to tie down big machines so you can line up shots.
- Upgrade your pouches early. Running out of ammo space mid-fight is a common killer.
