What kind of other open-world game compares best to Horizon? Is it more like Far Cry, or maybe Witcher 3?

Why play platformers when you have open worlds to explore?

John F Bennett

And to each their own!

But I will never understand why open worlds like Horizon and AssCreed have linear platforming segments. It's one or the other, dammit.
Platformers were fun when I had a gameboy.

edit:
To expand, why would people who enjoy open worlds want platform segments in their games and vice versa?

You're entitled to like whatever you want, but "one or the other" is a terrible additude for game designers to follow. Lots of great games come out of mixing and hybridizing different styles of gameplay in service of a narrative.

That just reminds me of the old adventure games putting in arcade sequences. Which was a huge mistake as you might know.

Mixing of two genres is always a bad idea, it always results in less attention to both.

Don't be afraid of bridge wolves, be aggressive! Press on, friend! Smash, stomp, and tear your foes to pieces. A hunter is never alone. The sky and the cosmos are one, and may the good blood guide your way.

Just got Horizon and having a blast. About 10 hours in, just arrived at Daytower. Should I take my time before going to Meridian as I've been doing or just go already.

Speaking of, genuinely can't believe how much I'm enjoying Horizon. It's so loving good. I'm not into open world games very much but this game is so so streamlined and fun to play. Chipping parts off the larger machines is insanely fun. Best graphics I've ever seen. Sound design and music are incredible. And this from the Killzone team?!!!
A literal miracle.

Highly recommend it to anyone who's not into these sort of games. Best way I can describe it is Red Dead Redemption x Skyrim x Tomb Raider x Phantom Pain

I just started playing it myself 4 days ago. I can't put it down.

I never played a game that had NG+ so I don't know what it means exactly. Isn't it just replaying the same game but it's easier?

Thanks for the tips.

How do Divinity OS and Pillars of Eternity compare? I didn't know about them but they seem to be of the same style. PIE is the complete edition, prices are comparable.
