Here’s the best tip NOONE is talking about. If you’re out of heals in the middle of a fight, hold up on the dpad and it’ll refill your herbs from your stash…..op

Downloading it now. Got my snacks and drinks and won’t be moving for a while, so excited!

Once you’ve unlocked Maw of the Arena after helping Chief Takkarro, immediately play as much arena as you can stand. It will give you the currency to unlock legendary weapons before you even hit level 25!

Really fun game man, improved upon Horizon Zero Dawn, the graphics are stunning, the open world is gigantic and a joy to explore, it’s my personal showcase game for the PS5’s graphics and my pick for game of the year 👏👏👏👏 Still enjoy exploring the open world after getting the platinum, it’s the type of game you can explore the world for hours 🙌
