About

About the Game
Aloy gets by in life by cannibalising the remains of the robotic creatures for electrical components that enable her own survival. She can also use other parts of the creatures to craft weapons and equipment that help her survive and succeed. The machine creatures band together, rather like real life wildlife herds, and will not usually attack one another unless they have been subject to corruption arrows or have been hacked with an Override Tool.
However, they do attack when they sense a threat, but they do tend to use brute force rather than finesse, and they all have differing attack and defence modes. Your various weapons have modification slots that allow you to boost weapons’ offensive capabilities for more dramatic effects, and Aloy wears a small head-mounted scanner called Focus that helps her zone in on her prey. However, The Stalker, in particular, can avoid this with stealth cloaking technology.
Aloy also battles human enemies: there are bandits and a creepy cult to keep clear of, amongst others. Aloy was rejected by her tribe when she was younger, then being adopted and taught all she knows by Rost, her father figure. But she wants to find the truth – no spoilers are forthcoming, other than to say it’s well worth tracing through the narrative as Aloy learns that not only does her identity exist, but that she can change the entire shape of humanity altogether.
The Nitty Gritty
There are various skill trees, that bear unusual names for recognisable skills: Prowler means stealth, Braves are excellent at combat and Foragers are skilled at gathering and healing. You will progress up the skill tree based on your experience from completing quests and making kills, and open out new areas of the map by climbing up the nearest Tall Neck to literally broaden your horizons! Tall Necks are immense, giraffe-like robot creatures.
The map includes a variety of terrains to playthrough, and there is the option for fast travel if you only have a short time to play and want to get on with the quest – otherwise it is more fun to take your time! These terrains include jungles and forests, deserts, and snowy mountains – where your parkour skills come in handy. The open world game has a night and day cycle and dynamic weather to make things more fun.
As well as Tall Necks, there are Striders which are the robotic equivalent of horses, and you can tame yourself one to gain a speedy and obedient mode of transportation. There are also truly immense creatures that appear to be the size of an entire village, that will wow you, even as you work out how to bring it down!
Corruption Zones dot the map and are harder to cross, with corrupted machines that are more aggressive and will actively attack. There are plenty of collectibles and signs of the ‘old world’ all around, many of which are valuable and should be gathered when possible.
To get through the game, Aloy must help other friendlies, complete quests, gather materials, and solve mysteries, not least of which is the mystery of her own life.
Pro-tip: be on the special look-out for a suit of ancient armour that renders Aloy all but indestructible…

After earning the platinum trophy in Horizon Zero Dawn, including the The Frozen Wilds DLC, I can say it's a must-play for anyone who enjoys a story-driven action game. Even though I usually don’t play narrative-focused games, this one completely captivated me, becoming the first to truly get me interested in story-driven experiences. The map is vast and beautifully crafted, with a perfect blend of wild nature and futuristic ruins.
The combat system emphasizes stealth and ranged attacks, with a wide variety of weapons and traps that allow for tactical planning. However, melee combat is still present, providing different ways to handle the formidable mechanical enemies. The DLC further expands the world with new challenges and fascinating environments.
If you’re looking for a game that combines a compelling story with rich action gameplay, Horizon Zero Dawn is an unmissable experience.

A great opening chapter that keeps you gripped to your seat. The storyline is so good that its only a matter of time until its made into a Film of TV Series. Its such a great new and different innovative game
Get good at hunting the lower level machines
The Snapmaw definitely my favourite
Also Lance Reddick is brilliant in this

One of my favourite games of all time, if you're searching for a long game with an inclusive and interesting story, funny gameplay and variable mechanics, this is the right one for you. Definitely not only a game, but an experience. However, some secondary quest or the game after the story mode is a little repetitive, but it entertain by searching for all the collectibles and upgrading your gear as most as you can. Still one of the greatest in my opinion
- Story mode
- Gameplay mechanics
- Graphic
- Repetitive secondary quests
- Not much to do after the story mode

absolute banger of a game, although to be fair I haven't finished it yet but so far I'm thoroughly enjoying it!
it's a good length campaign with lots of freedom and easy to use controls and the graphics alone are worth buying this game for.
can't wait to finish this game!! definitely recommend buying it.

This game felt like I was playing Elex and two other games in one.
Nothing more than people who reverted to being typical scared trump supporter flat-earthers.
Scared of tech and science, But not scared to show some form of painful stupidity.
Bows and exploding Zelda-style bombs in a slingshot, and 20mm cannon, and a Chinese finger trap bazooka that fires explosive arrowheads.
but no crossbows? what gets me is that the arrows are made of wood, Sure yeah wooden arrows can pierce through thin metal at a closer range, But further away? no way there wouldn't be enough velocity beyond 80 meters to get through 1 - 4 inches of metal plate.
The way animals run is unreal. Never seen a fox run so slow and its tail has no animation.
Boars wouldn't exactly just run most of the time they would attack you.
