Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition

Experience Alai’s legendary struggle to unravel the mysteries of the future earth under the rule of machines. Use devastating strategy attacks against your prey and discover a fantastic open world in this award-winning action RPG!

This game is a dangerous move that has paid off. Behind Killzone, developer Guerrilla decided to create an Open-World RPG for the first time. Knowing this, I was not expecting a high-quality Open World game from a developer who had no experience with Open World Games. The main story is great, nothing crazy but it feels like an adventure, and the side missions are interesting for the most part. The fight is fast but it also has stealth, with a variety of weapons and modifications to use depending on the situation.

I think the strongest attribute of this game is how beautiful the world is, from icy mountains to desert valleys, lush forests, forests, and much more. I almost never traveled fast because the game is so beautiful. And then there’s the post-apocalyptic sequence in which dinosaur-like robots are the real enemy, how can you not like that? Another strong part of the game is the soundtrack, I don’t know why but many times I get these goosebumps.

Story:

Complete with soundtrack and visuals, the story was breathtaking. For a long time, I have been emotionally invested in sports. Give them an addition to the writers. Even in the third play, I started shivering under my back at some scenes.

Gameplay:

The (Story) missions themselves are quite linear, with some hidden side rooms, if you want to explore and get some background information about the date/history. The map, after the first/small wall of the segment, is open. Side missions and goals are scattered everywhere. It is up to the player to decide how he wants to deal with the world. You are not forced into specific areas and are not even forced to complete the search on all sides. In total, you can get about 80 hours of gameplay if you want to collect them all, listen to all the data points, and so on. If you focus only on the central missions, I guess it will last 40+ hours EZ.

Good about the game:

• Memorable story and character.
• The fight is interesting and well done.
• Machines are robust with good AI.
• Fun boss fights.

Bad about the game:

• Some minor graphical errors.
• Waypoint update was a bit confusing.

Visual and sound

Visual

Global Design Red Dead 2s visual quality competitor. Filled with a wonderful day/night cycle with high-quality textures that bring other effects of light. There were a lot of points in my playthrough where I had to take a good moment in photo mode to appreciate the visual loyalty offered by Guerrilla Games. I would say that at the time of the launch of Horizon, the performance of the PC was quite rocky and my 1080ti had to struggle to get a playable frame rate and crash constantly. But I’ve recently played Horizon with my 1080ti and I’d say a lot of patches have been made, it’s finally at a really acceptable level of port quality.

Sound

There is also an impressive sound design with amazing visual design. Every enemy looks evil in its own way, their attacks are shattered by explosions and look really terrible. And on the opposite end, there’s pleasant music that blends perfectly with the Horizons scene. Music is sometimes a combination of free beats with robotic sounds, it really sells this prehistoric but future world of Horizon Zero Dawn.

Conclusion

Horizon Zero Dawn is an amazing game and I consider it a must-have game for action game fans. Fighting and storytelling are both excellent and while there are some technical flaws, they are not such a great reason to avoid playing.
