I am looking forward to this. The quality should be spectacular. However, and potentially unpopular opinion, the story and characters of this franchise are brutal. While I adored the first game, I had a hard time finishing Forbidden West because every character was just so, "bleh". Aloy herself was beyond annoying. Her expressions and the way she talked really got to me. The supporting characters all felt as if first year college students with a drama major wrote them. The different factions were all too way over the top. Compare this to The Last of Us or God of War and they aren't in the same league. Stunning world (and cool story), but the wrap around was terrible. I'm not optimistic about the character and writing for this side project.
