The enemy design of Horizon is just top notch. All the machines are just so cool. I love them

Except Glinthawks of course

u/Wboy2006 PS5 Mar 31 '25

Honestly, Glinthawks weren't that bad for me. You could take them down with a good shot or two at their blaze sack, and the design was still sick.

I mostly hated fighting the Slitherfangs from Forbidden west. They were tanky, but their hitbox was extremely thin and they moved around a ton. Those were the only machines I genuinely hated fighting

Shellsnappers were the worst because they were arrow sponges and would also wreck you in 3 hits

The waterwings I also had issues figuring out their movements because of how jerky they moved too, took me a minute to get through those

I might still have a bit of PTSD because of the shellsnappers and the rockbreakers; you can't tether them because they just dive underground, and they HURT when they hit you.

I didn't have any problems with these but I hated clamberjaws

u/starlord10203 Mar 31 '25

Also next to impossible to tether down which didn’t help

Those are a nuisance but it’s the clamberjaws that make me wanna rage quit the game sometimes.

"Ah, those majestic, murderous Glinthawks!"

A cultured one I see

Good answer. It sucks people forget this game. It also plays better than modern AC games. Valhalla was the only other game I liked. (Possibly due to a biased but I'll ignore that)

Ghost and Horizon are both better AC games than modern AC. I made the mistake of trying out Valhalla right after finishing Ghost, and it really underlined how good Ghost is. Ubi is following the Game Freak path of not improving upon their game’s formula because people continue buying it anyway.

Shadows improved a lot. It's what Ghost would've been if made now, I think.

The actual movement in Ghost is pretty awful for modern games, imo. Combat is cool, but the amount of bs I dealt with really hurt my enjoyment. Great story though.

u/OkayRuin PS5 Pro Mar 31 '25

Does it have an equivalent to the stances system? That was a brilliant improvement in my eyes. Going from that to Valhalla being the standard light-light-heavy-dodge hindered my enjoyment.

u/VikingRaptor2 PS5 Mar 31 '25

That really shouldnt be an unpopular opinion, it's just a fact.

u/Wrath-of-Elyon Mar 31 '25

It's not a fact because this part

Ubi is following the Game Freak path of not improving upon their game's formula because people continue buying it anyway.

Is clearly a lie. People were complaining that the AC formula was getting stale, so they made Origins. Then the sandbox fans started complaining that the feel left out, since three (3!) games were RPG heavy, do they made mirage. Ubisoft have been listening to their whiny fans for a very long time.

u/VikingRaptor2 PS5 Mar 31 '25

So what is Shadows Big Innovation?

2

u/brianundies Mar 31 '25

More games need to realize a satisfying gameplay loop is equally and often more important to a great and fun game as the story, and usually far more important than the graphics.

u/Fallensaint26 Mar 31 '25

I liked Valhalla at first but I got bored with it well before finishing it. I love big open world games but it might have been too big

1

u/Broad-Donut9694 Mar 31 '25

Aye man rightfully so. Vikings are fuckin awesome. Watching the show really made me wanna play it but I still haven’t. Still got a sour taste in my mouth from Valhalla. Was expecting Unity, I got the exact opposite and it felt weird.

u/AdorableSquirrels Mar 31 '25

Horizon is that hot shit of a game for it's great mechanic.

7

u/VikingRaptor2 PS5 Mar 31 '25

All the Horizon games are amazing, my opinion, not as detailed as Red dead but still awesome. The world is just completely different and fantastic

-1

u/AdorableSquirrels Mar 31 '25

Yes, kind of comic style, even if not too much. But the details are great.

u/zrevyx PS5 Pro Mar 31 '25

I love the Striders!

u/xElviiraaa PS5 Pro Mar 31 '25

Yes 👏🏼

Still the better horse!

u/LePontif11 Mar 31 '25

Not exactly the best community to say it but i hate the grounded mounts in this game. They get stuck on everything.
