Should I replay HZD after 9 years or just finish the side quests/exploration/lore/completion of my save with the main story completed?
Pretty much the title! I first played HZD on release date and finished it over time (completing the main story in around January 2019) however I've recently felt a massive urge to return to a world that I hold dear and a world which means a lot to me. Upon returning to my save, I realised how many side quests, other forms of exploration and collecting, places get to see, and of course the Frozen Wilds DLC, still remain. I'd love to just do all of this with my stacked and upgraded gear and abilities in tact, but that being said, I sort of feel a bit lost in it all lore/story-wise, considering I've not played the game since January 2019, and don't remember the full details of the main story and world-building.
I've recently gotten a new PS5 and have purchased the Remastered upgrade - and my goodness, does the game look, somehow, even more stunning! I feel an urge to replay the story, in preparation for hopefully a future playthrough of Forbidden West. However, I don't have as much time on my hands to play full games at all nowadays, and I'm worried I won't complete it alongside doing all the side parts of the game I never explored and collected.
I'm sorry for being so indecisive, but I'd be very grateful for anyone to let me know their thoughts.
So, what do you all think and recommend? Would really appreciate the insights! Thank you all in advance :)
