Great game, I recommend it... but first, play the first part.

23 December 2024

Oh, how long I have wanted this game. Almost immediately after completing the first part to platinum, in fact. The game continues the story from the first part, where we saved the city of "Meridian" from an evil AI (I hope I'm not spoiling it for anyone?). After some time, the main heroine Aloy must head west, get involved in local politics, find new friends, powerful new enemies, and new threats that once again aim to start a major apocalypse intended to wipe out all life on Earth.

Overall, the game doesn't change drastically. Yes, there are more Metroidvania elements, where you need specific tools to pass certain points, like underwater caves that require a diving mask, or a grappling hook, or a special skill. But it's fun, and I [censored] love returning to seemingly completed locations and discovering something new there.

I really like Horizon, I like this world. It’s vibrant, dynamic, and interesting to explore, checking every corner of the map, wondering if the developers left something there for me? And yes, there are indeed plenty of collectible items, so you'll have to run around to gather them.

There’s a challenge for players as well, I promise you it won't be an easy walk in the park—some new machines (and there are many more machines now) are several times scarier than the Thunderjaws from the first part, but if that’s not enough for you, there are hunting grounds on the map, where you are given specific conditions to fulfill.

There are also more rideable machines, and towards the very end of the game, we get the ability to fly...

Plot, world, music, characters, graphics, difficulty overall I liked everything. Yes, I am a fan and I am waiting for the third part.

On my PS4, the frame rate occasionally dropped noticeably, and I didn't get to see the full beauty of the game (I'll have to buy it on PC when it's on sale).
