I think the writing is fine and have some major notes tbh, but damn if the Operation: Enduring Victory reveal and summary discussion among the generals wasn’t jaw dropping. Aloy is a joy to watch too. Great dialogue sometimes, just overall a fun character.

To me she seemed incredibly stiff and wooden in the first game, with only a couple moments where she really emoted.

I watched a bit of the second one, and it seems like they characterized her a lot more this time around, especially during the first fight with the giant snake robot.

All the characters were super stiff and kinda cheaply animated on facial expressions on the first one, and it's clear they invested heavy to fix that on the follow up, where all characters are way better at conveying emotions.

I mean, yes the facial animations (although I'll say the subtle/weird faces worked for that one murderer dude) but also Ashly Burch/A lot in general. I know she's a fantastic VA, so it might have just been the direction or something, but in the second her voice feels more emotional

Come on mate she's just got the tism. I grew up as a bright kid with autism who questioned absolutely everything and I related to Aloy like hell.
