Guerilla out-Ubisofts Ubisoft with an excellent open world adventure.
Guerilla has created an excellent setting with a post-post-(post)-apocalypse, where the player is a huntress armed with a simple bow and spear while huge animal-shaped robots are a major threat. With the great pacing and incredible graphics, simple quality of life improvements such as tracking materials needed for crafting, and the richness of the environment without adding filler, there are incredibly few rough edges in Horizon. It’s clear a huge amount of care has been taken in every aspect of its development, and I can’t wait for more content.
Looks really cool! Thanks!
Yea, it’s really nice – very *very* polished and feels like the 2nd or 3rd game in a series rather than the first big non-Killzone thing Guerrilla have made.
The only thing that lets it down is that the animations for most of the non-storyline conversations feel rather flat, but its a difficult thing to get right.
Yeah, the conversations are so tough in games. Most likely because of limited facial joints, resulting in the old puppet mouth and doll eyes. That, or it’s saved until last and then they run out of time. LOL!
