Hey, has anyone played the horizon board game that came out, or its expansions? Is it fun? Worth the buy?

Hey I finally responded to your message on your wall, sorry it took me so long!
I posted some pics of Banuk art to your wall, let me know what you think!
The one piece to my puzzle about the whole Nemesis beaming himself through a wormhole theory and Nemesis potentially already being on earth I couldn't piece together is why he wouldn't have shown himself by now... and I think you just answered it. He already accomplished his goal after all, or at least a big portion of it... He manipulated the primitive tribal humans into killing the Zeniths for him, which could've been his plan all along? Given that he dd tell Hades how to disable their shields after all. So what is his motive now...? Is he lying in wait plotting how to take down the entire human race? But Gaia and the earth and potentially the humans remaining on it are all useful resources, maybe somehow Nemesis could leverage to accomplish an even greater goal? Create a multiplanetary species of humans enslaved to machines to achieve some over arching thing we haven't even thought of?
Another topic I want to hear your thoughts on: ...... Vast Silver.
I believe that this AI entity will in the end help Aloy defeat Nemesis somehow, and also Banuk prophesies might play into this. I'm sure you've already read all these, but just in case, this inspired me to think about Vast Silver in more depth: ZD world Datapoint "Turing Act Criticized", ZD world datapoint "Log 3/3/64" ZD frozen wilds audio datapoint "Oh-Point-Six", FW world datapoint "Past Silver", FW Burning shores datapoint "ChatBuddy Daily Check-in", and then another interesting youtube video: Lore of Horizon Forbidden West: Painted Prophecy (A New Perspective) by Random Side Quest, what do you think?
I think the idea of a third clone is very interesting and plausible, and definitely gives some room for some nutty plot twists, and ever since we saw Aloy find Elisabets dead body at the end of the first game I've been trying to figure out a way how Elisabet could come back from the dead or maybe her mental state could have been preserved somewhere somehow; although, probably not what she wanted and she'd undoubtedly be extremely upset with FZ for what they did with her DNA, but if anything has the power to bring her back somehow it for sure would be Nemesis which probably has god like powers by this point. I think there will be more stuff going on with Elisabets DNA in the next game, whether it manifests itself as another clone, or something else, remains to be seen, I think, unfortunately, that Elisabet's mind ended up being one of the ones that combined together to form Nemesis due to them stealing her DNA, and that the final boss in the next game will be Nemesis somehow morphing through all the different Zeniths, speaking in each of their voices, possibly taking each of their forms, and maybe as a plot twist morphing into Elisabet herself in the end. I think you should watch the youtube video "The Timeline of Horizon: Forbidden West and the Hidden Clue to Horizon 3" by the youtuber "Mangled Pork Games" and see what you think - I made a comment on that video, my youtube name is "Laxoar" check it out and let me know what you think!!
I love this theory, the idea that the virus that glitched the faro swarm came from the proving lab, where they were definitely doing some sketchy stuff according to Travis Tate, I can definitely see that happened, I am curious about the "Moldova Brain Hack" mentioned by Tate there. I also partly think that Vast Silver was what glitched the Faro swarm, "Past Silver" datapoint in HFW, "ChatBudy Daily Check-in" datapoint from Burning shores, and "Log: 3/3/64" from HZD
There are a couple datapoints at the end of Forbidden West and Burning Shores where Beta and Sylens Separately speculate that Hephaestus has evolved, having had a brush with Zenith tech when uploaded into the Zenith base printer during the final battle ("Hephaestus revisited" and "Probing the Graveyard" datapoints). How do you think this will manifest itself in the 3rd game? I think maybe similar to how the first game had daemonic and corrupted machines, the second had apex machines, the third may have zenith machines as the "upgraded" variant, with them still looking like the Gaia megafauna representations we've grown to love, but with some zenith tech textures peaking out from within? Or will we see Spectors running around the wild? Would love to hear anyone's thoughts!
If we were able to find a copy of Gaia at the Hades proving lab, would it be possible that a copy of Hades exists there too? Or somewhere else? What if Hades returns in the 3rd game, vengeful toward Nemesis for making him sentient and having to endure torture from Sylens? And both Nemesis and Hades inhabit Horus units and an epic clash of the titans battle ensues... Hades could enter the battlefield within a Horus and upon seeing Nemesis, deliver his iconic line: "system threat detected", this time referring to Nemesis, and maybe at this point in the story you'd have Hephaestus on your side with an army of new Gaia/zenith hybrid machines on your side vs the faro swarm controlled by Nemesis, and you could swoop into battle on the back of a flying machine with a bunch of totally new and improved and awesome set of mount-based combat mechanics... I also think Vast Silver will somehow come into play as it is mentioned in several datapoints in HZD and HFW.... And I think the "ancient ghost rising in the east" mentioned by Brin from the last glyph in Burning Shores might be referring to Vast Silver.
