So far this game has exceeded my expectations which were high to begin with. 15 hours in and taking my sweet time, just getting ready to leave the first area. You can definitely feel where it takes from the last two Tomb Raiders. From some of the traversal methods to the combat with the bow and very similar in regards to crafting/leveling. Also some nods to Far Cry. Oddly I have found the spear to be the easiest way to take down the early enemies, machine or human. Going 50/50 stealth so far. I like all the options you have in regards to trapping the machines so I see myself going more stealth and utilizing them over brute force. Story is pretty good so far and I like playing as Aloy and the little quips she utters as you are just scavenging for stuff.
