I am playing Horizon Zero Dawn and haven’t gotten to the first main event, but it gives me this feeling like if I upgrade all my equipment now it might be for nothing. I know that is not the case, I looked it up, but what are some games that are the worst offenders? One I can think of is Aerith in the original FF7.
But it had an incredible world design though. The puzzles in those jungles were genuinely jaw dropping and there were certain levels that were 10 times more scarier than any regular horror game.
