Star Wars Outlaws' $110 and $130 editions prompt a collective sigh from potential players tired of season passes and ill-advised early access periods

Hello! I tried playing Horizon Zero Dawn on both the PS4 Pro and PC, and just never got into it because (to me) the combat was not very good at all. I love the look of the game, and I assume the premise is good, but what about it do you like? I want to give it another go, but I don't want to waste my time either, so I am really just wanting to hear a different perspective.

Likely less of a hardware thing and more of a, "made with a ten year old engine that was discontinued seven years ago."

Originally I was gonna say Unreal Engine 5 only has a smallish performance hit when Lumen Global Illumination is enabled, but when I looked up the helldivers engine, they outright cite its discontinuing for, "not being able to compete against UE and Unity."

Edit: the engine is Autodesk Stingray, since I failed to name it.

Edit 2: apparently Helldivers 2 was in production since before Stingray was discontinued, but still, why'd they try to put GI in such an old engine? Did nobody consider the stress a new lighting model would apply to an engine that barely existed before the idea of GI?
