Ugh. Can't believe Guerilla botched the ending. "Transcendence Johnny Depp" is the bad guy coming. They could have done something way better like make Hephaestus more powerful than Gaia or even have Ted Faro be alive and well. They botched that too.
They sorta put themselves into a corner because I don't know where they would go next. We reached the west coast. So, unless some future DLC is going to take us somewhere else (Pacific Northwest/Seattle or South to L.A, San Diego, Mexico). Perhaps Aloy works her way back East?
Didn't bother with the Strike board game or the races because I felt like they were shoehorned in because all other open world games have been or are going that route. Did what I had to for the trophies and walked away.
I kinda agree with Seph's assessment of a crafting system. It was a pain in the ass of hunting down the same machines over and over again for parts for my legendary armor and weapons.
