Love it! (Gaming)

Great work. Very well put together. Great choice of scenery & moments to showcase. Nicely paced. And just like the game, you've shown a lot of restraint. It's easy with these sorts of trailers (and when the game looks this gorgeous) to show way too much. But you kept it nicely contained.

I see Cody's point about the ambiguity of the voice-over. It didn't bother me, but I've also played the game so that's probably colouring my reaction. If you did want to provide a hint more insight into who is speaking, without actually giving it away, there is some dialogue that might work nicely. Aloy asks Sylens "who are you" and "what do you want" a few different times, I think. And Sylens has that line where he says "With everything you've just learned, THAT is what you want to ask me?" I think that moment does a good job of conveying the nature of their relationship without giving anything away.

But again, I don't think it needs anything added to it. Love it as is.

After reading yours and Cody's replies last night, I tried adding those parts of this conversation, but I couldn't figure out how to make the flow of those lines work without getting too spoilery. Meeting Sylens for the first time is a really cool moment, and I don't want to give away any more then I have to.
