Horizon’s Burning Shores Are Vast, Roughly a Third of the Size of Forbidden West

@middyone I love playing games, but I was really hooked on gaming back in the early 80s when I saved up to and bought my very own Commodore 64. Before that I had only played Pong on a relatives Atari so the C64 was a brand new world opening for me.
I can miss the old days when you had no clue what you had to do in some games, you just had fun. But now when I’m older I’m a sucker for Sony’s 1st party “storygames” like Uncharted, GoW and ofc Horizon. But there Uncharted and latest GoW games venture into new adventures and break new ground in a way, Horizon is more AC/Ubi formula, and while I like that too, I don’t really love it if you know what I mean. Like Dark Souls evolved into Elden Ring were it’s like more of the same but still prettier.
I prefer Bloodborne, still the same game, but a truly unique experience imho.
The older I get the more I like “non-reaction” games and more adventure and exploring is probably the best answer I can give you. But I hate the copy/paste formula most games do these days. I miss oldschool Sony that dared mix things up with quirky but fun new experiences.
Returnal and Death Stranding was pleasent surprises for me for example.
PSVR 1/2 are great these days too, just wish Sony made more 1st party (adventure-ish) games for it.
And I love Ghost Of Tsushima. But I still like to play Arkanoid, Lemmings and Outrun from time to time on my old Amiga500 I have in the storageroom
