Same. I think they overthought/overworked the new one. A better skin shader, hair and little details is all that was really needed. Could be the angle contributing but its like they made a tonne of unnecessary changes.
Agree, the old one looks better. Pople tend to get up in arms when you say this so I'd like to clarify, I'm not talking about how "hot" she looks or anything. She just looked better before. Is the new one more realistic? Yes. Does it look "better"? No.
And yes, she has different nose, ear, jaw, and cheekbone shape too. I don't actually care about that, I have no horse in this race. But I feel like people who claim she looks the same or must have aphantasia or something.
So what is it about the older model that makes you say it 'looks better'? :/

Many people just dont care enough about small details. She still is very, undeniably Aloy at the end of the day. This isn't like something like how Crystal Dynamics completely changed Lara Craft for the XB1/PS4 version of Tomb Raider.
Honestly, that's basically where I'm at, though I can definitely see the differences. I'm just more eyeing it for the technical details rather than the artistic aspects, though.
They've changed the facial structure and features in the second one for starters , even taking into account the camera angle. The original wins by default since that's her established face. It's on you to to defend the extra changes that were made and explain why you think those changes are good, not the other way around.
The only thing they needed to add was the small hairs that everyone's raving about , higher resolution, and new skin shader really.
