Idk, maybe it's just that I'm comparing too much of the Witcher 3, but the story and importantly sidequests in Horizon Zero Dawn are mediocore at best for where I'm at atm. I'd concur it's better than Bethesda though.
The Witcher 3, to me, made Bethesda games feel dated. The structure of the game is nearly identical, but when you arrive at your quest, it never plays out entirely straight forward, much like the Witcher source material. Cyberpunk does follow along those same lines, even if it never quite hit the highs that Witcher 3 did.
HZD is very Ubisofty, but done right, as in it's not littered to the brink with pointless collectibles and can actually be completed. It's way more action than role-play or story focussed but that's not a bad thing in itself. I think of it more like Tomb Raider, and for that kind of game HZD has plenty and very good storytelling.

I couldn't really get into Witcher 3. It was more the combat than the story but the story didn't interest me much either…
Yeah, I fell off it after about two hours.
