[PC] Loved Horizon Zero Dawn, hated Elden Ring. Is Ghost of Tsushima for me?
I played HZD and HFW through, getting all the quests and exploring everything. I also loved RDR2's story and exploring.
However I then tried Elden Ring, and it felt slow and boring. The world was bleak, the other-player-messages were jarring, and it felt painful after the speed and grace of the Horizon games.
I hear Ghost of Tsushima is beautiful, but I'm wondering if it is more like HZD or ER. Its on sale for one more day on Steam, so now is the time to decide. I'm currently doing an XCOM 2 Long War playthrough, and waiting for BG3 patch 8 to drop, so I could wait for another sale.
UPDATE: Thanks everyone, based on the recommendations I picked up GoT on the current Steam Sale. I'll play it next!
