I loved Zero Dawn, and Forbidden West was a lot better than I expected. They do a relatively good job, especially Forbidden West, of not overstaying their welcome of any given openworld activity. Probably my favourite of the open-world map games. There is a touch of Monster Hunter in there too, though not quite as “pure” as that experience.

I could see them not sticking the landing in the third game, as so often seems to be the case, but I choose to remain optimistic.
