Shadows is the best Assassins game I've ever played. That said, I really liked Ghost of Tsushima, and can't wait to see how Sucker Punch has improved upon the original game. GoT was well known for it's vibrant colors, beautiful scenery and immersive gameplay, so the anticipation for the sequel is pretty high. July can't come soon enough. I'm looking forward to Yotei and Death Stranding 2.
Maybe have the armor passives as a stand alone option. Pick whatever armor you want based on colors or style, and then select which passive stats you want for it. Just another idea..
A live service, multi-player Horizon game has enormous potential. If it is anything like Helldivers 2, such as teams of players working together to slay hordes of robo-saurs, I'm willing to bet that most gamers would at least give it a try. It has the makings of being a hit classic, potentially, but only time will tell. I just hope Guerilla gets it right and delivers another masterclass in entertainment, like they did with their past Horizon titles. I believe I speak for many when I say that we've got our fingers crossed for this one. Do it right and go big, Guerilla!
