The developers of the original proved they could release a game that dominated its genre. With this, they proved they could strike gold twice.

If they actually listened to the market and this is a FREE-ROAM OFFLINE RPG, this will be phenomenal. Vindictus is nothing if not a fantastic combat system. We'll see.

A perfect new entry into the Free to Play category, showing off the very best of predatory market practices and in-game not-so-micro microtransactions.

Probably the best move Sony can do is to give us these games. It is late, but appreciated. Yes, Aloy got abused in production, but the gameplay loop is always enjoyable. Story is okay, still worth it.

Don't waste your money. They failed to impress the console crowd with a lackluster sequel and now, after exclusivity, they are trying to get your money for scraps.

The main story is a tease and the post-game is basically Monster Hunter. This game is a clear example of how they held infinite potential and then they just settled. Missed opportunity.

This has been tried twice by two other companies. It has failed twice for two other companies. This looks to be bringing nothing new to the table.

Everything in this could have been in an update to everyone who bought these games already. Do I recommend the games, generally? Absolutely. Is this also a scam? Absolutely.
