When Guerrilla Games released “Horizon Zero Dawn” in 2017, the gaming world took full notice of what the studio mostly associated with the “Killzone” franchise had developed. “Zero Dawn” was an open-world, post-apocalyptic experience featuring the player taking on sentient machines growing into more animalistic creatures sporting electric wings, fire breath, and more weak points than a poorly-made building.
Featuring stellar graphics, solid gameplay fundamentals including a climbing system straight out of “Assassin’s Creed”, and remarkable voice acting even when conversing with the most unimportant NPCs. The wait for a sequel had gamers anticipating how the studio could expand upon everything crafted in “Zero Dawn”, revealing “Forbidden West” when it seemed like the world would reach its end just like in the game. Improving on multiple facets, “Forbidden West” set the stage for something bigger in the future; and that “bigger” is now here. Get those arrows ready, mount a robotic mule, and go back to Cali with these first impressions of “Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores”.
