Features | A Lush Post-Apocalyptic World - How have machines dominated this world, and what is their purpose? What happened to the civilization here before? Scour every corner of a realm filled with ancient relics and mysterious buildings in order to uncover your past and unearth the many secrets of a forgotten land.
Nature and Machines Collide - Horizon Zero Dawn juxtaposes two contrasting elements, taking a vibrant world rich with beautiful nature and filling it with awe-inspiring highly advanced technology. This marriage creates a dynamic combination for both exploration and gameplay.
Defy Overwhelming Odds - The foundation of combat in Horizon Zero Dawn is built upon the speed and cunning of Aloy versus the raw strength and size of the machines. In order to overcome a much larger and technologically superior enemy, Aloy must use every ounce of her knowledge, intelligence, and agility to survive each encounter.
Cutting Edge Open World Tech: Stunningly detailed forests, imposing mountains, and atmospheric ruins of a bygone civilization meld together in a landscape that is alive with changing weather systems and a full day/night cycle. |

Pros: +it's not like a Ubisoft open world games that has excessive amount of busy work and things to collect +decent progression system +beautiful graphics this console generation +challenging combat even at max level
Cons: +crafting system is underwhelming and unnecessary. It has a system similar to far cry 3 in creating increasing ammunition pouches (quivers here). they should have just had the max level carry amount for bombs and arrows +sometimes there's a bit of an issue with the controls when you're trying to do things rapidly, such as in combat. it's pretty responsive though.
Overall Review: I paid ~$50 through Newegg and it was well worth the price. I'm actually looking forward to future expansion content.
