I'm thinking of buying it, but from the gameplay trailers I've watched it's looks more or less generic (explore, climb, kill mechanic dino, a bit of story, repeat).
Makes me worried it's as generic as Ubisoft's open world games (Far Cry, AC). Far Cry bores the shit out of me and the last AC game I played (Origins) bored me after only a few days.

The combat is nothing like the Ubisoft games. It’s more like monster hunter or something. You have to use the right arrow type and find the weak spots on the robots armor. The combat is really fun and much better than Ubisoft games (in my opinion). Also the story is really good - a real mystery that keeps you hooked right to the end. Like all open world games though it does have a fair bit of open world filler - clearing bandit camps, collecting trinkets, fetch quests etc. So it does have that in common with Ubisoft games. In my opinion HZD is much better than most Ubisoft games. I highly recommend it.
