Horizon Forbidden West
Aloy’s tale develops on a grand scale, with a compelling story and more heart-pumping combat against the mechanical monsters that rule her post-apocalyptic world. But is it a new dawn?

It’s a weird one on paper. Unlike the usual tropes that imagine us hopping into flying cars and living in biomes, Horizon’s futuristic planet Earth is a world so decimated by tech that humankind has been forced to… well, reboot itself. The only memories of its past lie in the ruins that scar the landscape and the hulking, animal-esque machines that roam the land.
