Sounds like I might be in a bit of a minority here with my thoughts on Forbidden West. For context, I appreciated the first game for what it was, but something about it just didn’t click with me. I tried on two separate occasions and never ended up finishing it.
I logged about 20 hours on Forbidden West and then had to travel for a month before coming back to it and have since logged another 20.
I can’t get enough of this game. I’m still not finished the story, but I’m finding almost everything about it way more engaging than the first game. It feels like almost every side mission has a quality, unique story to tell, the variety of activities is huge and mostly a joy, and the story is much better than the first game IMO.
It feels like a Ubisoft open world game except the quality of everything is upped by 10. Not only will I finish the story this time around I think I’ll finish the bulk of the side content as well. Probably my favorite game played on the PS5 so far followed by Returnal.
