During the Hades proving lab part of the story, only two hours into the game, I began to have dreams about the plot and gameplay. Only when I am satisfied with my altruism and gear do I continue the main storyline in Horizon Forbidden West. Every side quest and collectible is treasured and handled delicately by me. There are many more new machines to fight, each testing your reaction speed, and the confidence you have to make your arrows fly before it’s too late. Sunwings are like pterodactyls with solar panel webbing and plasma-filled crests, making them agile, aerodynamic foes. In this tank-like beast, the assault is never-ending. Tremortusks are ruthless metal mammoths equipped with machine guns behind the eyes, cannons on the back, and ammo drums on the rear. In Horizon Forbidden West, they are bigger, meaner, and based on dinosaurs!Ĭlawstriders are vicious, raptor-like machines that come in several elemental forms and can be ridden to take your destruction-filled revenge on a road trip. From small acquisition machines to massive recon bots armed to their armored teeth, each is unique and a challenge to be conquered on any terrain. Every angle that you look at the game, land, air, or sea, is jaw-dropping.Īnimal-like machines are the defining technology of the Horizon series.

Sylens on the other hand, the slimy, slippery snake in the first game, does so selfishly for the pursuit of knowledge.īut what if there was something far worse than a backstabbing friend in a world full of secrets? The potential answers are explored in this gorgeous open-world action role-playing game. The main character, Aloy, has the means and methods to protect this new Earth. They avoid the dangers that come from their ancestors’ mistakes and greed. Then there are those who seek the truth of the world, its technology, and the humans who lived on Earth one thousand years ago. People establish tribes and their own cultures while some worship machines and have their own beliefs about how the world works. Machines designed by a terraforming system tend to the Earth. In a world where our technologically advanced human society gets erased and primitive people rise again, there are bound to be secrets foreign to an Earth reborn. Horizon Forbidden West, the long-awaited sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn by Guerilla Games, delivers both of my guilty gaming pleasures flawlessly. I need a strong female lead and a fresh, jarring narrative to change my life. I am a woman with simple tastes when it comes to video games. In an effort to show both sides, here is another take on the the Aloy saga.

Upon release, we ran this Horizon Forbidden West story.
