    Horizon series. Retried multiple times on horizon zero dawn, probably got close to 15 hours and just didn’t care for the story. Gameplay was what kept me playing but after a while, I didn’t feel compelled to continue if I had no interest in anything else that was happening. Heard Forbidden West is better but I couldn’t care less

      You have to treat Horizon like a mystery and you’re a detective. I had a hard time getting into it and then I started to try and give a shit about why the world is the way it is and really listening to the logs I found. I finally got very invested and beat both games and loved them.

      It won’t be for everybody though. I definitely wouldn’t play Forbidden West without knowing the first game’s story.
