Open world games, need recommendations - eviltoast

Its been a while since I played botw and totk, I want to get into similar open world games with good combat systems, any recommendations?

As for platforms, I need games that aren’t too intensive, my PCs are kinda weak and my consoles are a switch and an emulator that does up to GameCube/ps2

This question proves how stupid I am lol

    I just finished playing Horizon: Zero Dawn for the second time and it was way more engaging than I remember it being back in 2017. Apparently a lot of reviews ragged on it for “not being Breath of the Wild” which is a lame thing to complain about, even if the game came out at the same time, and they share a lot of thematic elements (like heavily focusing on archery, fighting ancient machines, exploring a beautiful world, etc.).

    But it’s a very different game, very narrative heavy, very beautiful, and very well-optimized on PC. The combat is very focused and fun in a good way.

        That’s perfect. I don’t think there could be a better way to describe it in one sentence. It’s also a fun spin on the “like skyrim with guns” oversimplification lol
