* PairTheSpares: Inverted, in that the secondary relationships come before the primary. Several side characters who were clearly attracted to Aloy in ''Zero Dawn'' are given relationships in this game: Talanah met a man named Amadis during an interquel comic series and fell for him so hard that she follows him across the Forbidden West; Varl meets Zo while treating Aloy for an injury and they hook up almost immediately; and Vanasha clearly has some sort of thing going on with Uthid. Aloy herself later [[spoiler: gets an option for a love interest in the ''Burning Shores'' DLC]].

** Settlements often have a "rumor" agent sitting outside of them who will tell Aloy about a sidequest in some other place, reducing the chance that the player will miss out on such content due to not happening to travel to that location.

* PerfectPacifistPeople: Deconstructed. The Utaru believe themselves to be this, which leads many of them to stubbornly cling to their failing traditions even in the face of the imminent destruction of their way of life. They also tend to disparage what few people with martial prowess their tribe manages to produce, despite clearly needing such people to deal with the Tenakth and deranged machines.

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: What kind of torture does Sylens subject an AI bent on world destruction like HADES to? Forcing it to watch holographic imagery of plants and animals thriving; the more vivid, the better. According to his notes, a loop depicting rabbits hopping through a field of flowers "produced paroxysms of agony." It's enough to corrupt the AI's internal data structures and render it an almost mindless husk.

The achievement directly mocking the player is the definition of the trope. This is grasping at straws.

* AchievementMockery: Although no achievement outright mocks the player directly, the fact that one can unlock the "All Achievements Obtained" achievement without having attained the "Completed Ultra Hard" achievement first can still feel like an example of this trope.

First off, the more specfice "Godzilla Expy" trope is Not Zilla, and I don't think the Slaughterspine is big or unique enough to really resemble the trope that well. As far as I'm aware, Godzilla doesn't even resemble a spinosaurid. Also, the Spinosaurus Versus T Rex example is already listed in the Burning Shores folder.

* SavageSpinosaurs: ''Forbidden West'' introduces the Slaughterspine, a heavyweight-class combat machine resembling a spinosaurid with deadly plasma attacks. Notably, they're clearly based on [[TheOughties early 2000s]] portrayals of ''Spinosaurus'' [[ArtisticLicensePaleontology as a terrestrial predator rather than the semi-aquatic potential piscivore it is now theorized to be]]. For added awesome, it's also a pretty blatant Franchise/{{Godzilla}} expy that can shoot purple energy beams from its mouth, as well as the spines on its back.

* SpinosaurusVersusTRex: Initially averted in the base game where Thunderjaws (the TRexpy) and Slaughterspines (the [[SavageSpinosaurs robot Spinosaurus]]) aren't anywhere near each other on the map, so you can't, say, override one and make them fight. In fact, in the final battle, [[spoiler:they fight alongside one another]]. Then ''Burning Shores'' came along and with it a Thunderjaw and Slaughterspine site right next to each other. Enjoy the show!
