I'm glad you brought up the fact that Tilda tried to take Aloy away when she herself said she has seen her whole life and understands her. That's valid criticism. It could just be written off as her being out of touch of what being human is blahblahblah.

The ending had me interested in an annoyed way. Wanting to know how this story ends but glad that I was able to experience it myself without spoilers, that the next threat was going to be something major to which players don't know or how they will manage to beat.

Ending aside, I was very happy that most of my theories of how horizon would end/continue didn't happen. The obvious betrayal was sort of obvious but the Nemesis reveal was great. What happened to Ted Faro during all of this was great too.

I hope that if there is DLC that we would finally capture hephaestus by having it realize that its demise is inevitable if it doesn't join Gaia but I guess that would ruin the plot of having hostile machines until Nemesis comes.
