As someone who hasnt played the game yet the review didnt really sell me on the game. I dont get what the game is.
You lay out the premise of the story, give a general overview that the gameplay is action oriented and you shoot different types of arrows. OK? Doesnt tell me what kind of game it is. You tell us vast open world....what differentiates it from the other 1000 open world games?
How long does the game last for a casual playthrough? How is the enemy variety? What about your own character, all i know from your review is you got a few different bows. Thats it?
The story is good. OK. But in what way? Character development? Is it a cool journey? Is it driven by a strong villain? Is there a great cast of characters? You dont have to tell me what the story is in order to tell me what kind of a story it is. Is it funny? Is it emotional? Is it filled with twists? Saying its well written doesnt mean anything to me.
Are there good sidequests that give you story or are they fetch quests? Actually....are there even side quests at all? You mention Far Cry esque crafting and nothing else...thats it?
In terms of grammar its fine just that one part "You play as Aloy an inquisitive young woman who was born into the Nora ( a primitive matriarchal tribe, think Native Americans but kind of futuristic) but raised as an outcast."
This sentence bothered me....probably because of the ."but kind of futuristic) but raised as an outcast." LIke its probably grammatically correct but the clash of "buts" in the parenthesis and right outside of it leave the sentence feeling wrong.
So yeah man basically I'd say for people who played the game they will feel you on your review, but gotta remember reviews are mostly for people without the game who are on the fence on whether to buy it or not.
