Choice paralysis can hit you even if it’s only about two things. In this case it’s about two games that you will play for hundreds of hours.
I had “Horizon Zero Dawn” in my library for 3 years before I finally started a serious game and finished it this year. Currently replaying it again.
The successor is now on sale on Steam: €36.
I put “God of War” on my Steam wishlist after finishing “Horizon Zero Dawn” for the first time. I was looking for more open-world games of this kind, and it got recommended by fans.
It’s now on sale on Steam: €20.
I can’t play them both at the same time. And after playing one of them for 100 to 200 hours, the other will be on sale again.
What would you do? GoW, so that you don’t stick in the same world for too long and have some variety in your escapism? Or HFW to see how the story continues without wasting any more time?
Would HFW disappoint me on my GTX 1070? Compared to HZD?
HFW by a mile and it’s not close. It’s not that GoW is bad by any metric. It is a fantastic game. HFW is just THAT GOOD. Great visuals, great story, game play and combat is FANTASTIC. Well over 100 hours of content. Even more if you do all the side quests.
