They look like aliens wearing the skin of children, about to eat my face or something. And it makes no sense. The adult models look great. Why are the kids rolling in the uncanny valley?

I don't even think most of the adults look all that great. There's a LOT of variation in quality between the character models that got a ton of effort and the ones that didn't, and all of them are wearing garbage on their heads.
Have you seen a real child before? These look like demon spawns

You should see them move and emote. It's terrifying shit. Not obviously terrifying like a Bloodborne monster. A deeper, more unsettling terror.
And I find it bizzare cause I actually really like most of the adult models. Especially Aloy.

Finally. Someone. Thank you. How can anyone think these...things look like real children.
Maybe they look weird in motion, but from the pics posted in the OP, they look fine.
Yeah, the people that don't see anything wrong would be the first to die in an horror movie

That's it. Fuck this shit. I'm done with gaming. Need a new hobby. Anybody know some good sewing tutorials on youtube?After seeing this from AC: Vallhala my standards changed
I feel like a lot of times adult models are used as a template and then scaled down. That doesn't turn out to be great most of the times.
Cyberpunk is another one with terrible children models/animation/faces.

HZD suffers from the exact same issue as games like Mass Effect and The Outer Worlds. As soon as you talk to NPCs it's like..
Combined with some of the slightly odd character designs it can occasionally make the stuff of nightmares.
Yeah, I can't tell exactly what it is, but there's something wrong with "child Aloy", it's creepy as fuck
Children almost always look strange in games, I'm guessing it's because less time is spent on them and designers have overall less experience making them.
Loool Are you talking about their hair rendering. Yeah it's not the best.

Cursed image.
Kid Aloy's hair being so Huge and derpy makes the model look worse than it really is
Jesus....After seeing this from AC: Vallhala my standards changed
The hair rendering, as well as the fact they're literally wearing scrap metal on their heads.
I was replaying Mass Effect Andromeda recently and they're animated better than most characters from that.
If they're terrible, it'd be compared to the likes of Ellie? Kid from the last guardian? Clementine? Jack Marston is probably the gold standard for open world games.
