I am still playing. I chose the story mode for my first playthru because I like to concentrate on the story line the developers have followed rather than fighting everytime I move. I am quite pleased with it. if you liked Primal, you should find this interesting, with a twist. I am going to play it through and than probably do it again on the normal mode. At 73 my fingers stumble a bit on the keyboard. If I was giving it a star rating for playability, graphics, story, I would give it 5 stars. I will try and update this later.
OK. I have got about 150 hours in the game and just finished it. I played in story mode because these type of games are fun for me just to explore. I walk everywhere and use transportation and fast travel in a very limited fashion. If You jump around and go fast, you miss out on half the game.This game has a HUGH HUGH map and tons to do outside the story. I still think I missed some things. I did not complete all the hunting challenges but will in my next play through on normal. The game has a great story line that keeps one in suspense. Just when I was thinking here it is, the final action, there is a new challenge presented. I really never used all the perks available such as those associated with Lures and Machine repair. I would rather have seen perks that would have increased physical attributes such as jump or speed. The graphics are great and the FPS ran unabated without stutter on high. I'm running a self built system with an MSI Z490, I7 10700 comet lake, 64 Gig DDR 4, and a GTX 1660 Super. Not top of the line but ran the game in quick fashiion. Definitely one of the Great Games in my library and well worth the dollars spent on it. Cheaper than a movie and lots more action. I'd give it 5 starts. Looking forward to playing the "WEST" sequel.

Aloy "Im sorry for your loss"
Erend "Nothing that beer can't fix, lets drink"
Aloy "i suppose so, but i cant.."
Erend "Oh , can I hit that juicy smacker.."
Aloy "Erend !!! I'm not..."
Rost "FBI!!!! Open up"

☐ THE GOAT

One of the Best game in this genre ! Recommended anyone who like to hunt machine and enjoy good scenery !

Playing this was one of the most beautiful titles I have ever played. The story is engaging , interactive, detailed . I found myself attached to some characters. The game is beautifully optimized for both NVIDIA and AMD systems.
The game play is *chefs kiss* I truly can not wait to continue my adventure with Aloy in Horizon Forbidden West in 2024

After being diagnosed with arthritis in my neck. I had to stop playing games on my 50" TV and was advised to get myself a curved monitor. After spending an eye watering amount of money. The advise was well founded. I don't notice the neck problem too much now and have got the hang of using my peripheral vision more.
I was a bit out of touch with regards to playing. So I looked through my games and found Horizon Zero Dawn. I have to say. It is a pretty game. Nice graphics, great movement of the character. Interesting story and a pleasant sound track.
The game play was refreshing and I enjoyed the learning curve with regards to the characters skill set and use of weaponry. Which is basically a spear and a bow and arrows. Which is a change from my normal big axe and bad attitude type of character. Hit them hard enough until they die, more Hulk smash than finesse.
After a few hours. I really started to enjoy the game and a few hours later really got into it and realised that I haven't really played a game like this before and was enjoying myself a lot more than I thought I would.
I played over 200 hours and wanted more. I am looking forward to playing it again at a higher level but not yet. I have got my mojo back again and have 2 Remnant games to play first.
I'm not one who goes into the mechanics or pro' and con's of a game. If I like a game. I like it. I loved playing this game.

This game is usually brought up with high praise. When I played it, I was tired of the uninspired gameplay loop that makes up the majority of open-world Action RPGS, and I had high hopes that Horizon would bring me back. Unfortunately, it did not.
The game started off incredibly strong. I was taken aback by how gorgeous everything is. The world is incredibly beautiful and alive. The introduction to Aloy's character was great, and everything down to the setting of the game appealed to me (robot dinosaurs!).
Less than 5 hours in, however, I knew I was in for more of the same. Repetitive filler side quests that tell uninteresting stories. Clear out a camp over here, find a flower over there, etc. Not to mention the very tired crafting system, forcing you to pick up almost every stick, rock, and berry that you see. Slow bouts of exploration to slowly fill out the oversized map with not a whole lot going on between the actual points of interest.
That being said, the main story is pretty engaging. The caves are really well designed gauntlets of puzzles and combat. And speaking of the combat, there's a lot of really fun options for taking down enemies. You can scan them to determine their weaknesses, crit spots, and walking paths. You can use all kinds of arrows and traps to customize your approach. And to reiterate, it's all really pretty to look at. These systems are especially well-emphasized in the "very hard" mode unlocked after your first playthrough (which is honestly easy enough that it should've just been available from the start).
So yes, this game unfortunately falls into the ever-growing pile of games using almost the exact same open world formula. So if you're also having the "open-world fatigue" that I was, Horizon is only gonna make that worse. But if you're not, then I can confidently recommend this game. It probably does rank towards the top of the pile.
