Important Note: Unfortunately Part 15 of this series, the finale of the Frozen Wilds DLC has been lost to the internet gods, so this is the end of the story as far as you wonderful viewers are concerned…
Hey there everyone, and welcome to the fourteenth part of my Horizon Zero Dawn playthrough! This is a game I’ve been dubious about playing for a long time because I have well documented issues with both open world games as a concept, and more western developed RPGs which tend to focus more on world building versus the more direct story focus I tend to enjoy (and ironically tend to be in larger open worlds).
But I was long intrigued by the game, and as a sequel was coming along I decided I’d give it a go, so join me as I take on the role of Aloy as she goes on a journey of discovery in a world overrun by machines taking on the appearance of animals. What is this world, why are the machines so complex when the inhabitants are much more tribal, and do I end up enjoying this game despite it having all the hallmarks of one I wouldn’t like?
Until next time…buh-bye!
