The visuals in this game are really beautiful. The art direction and design of all the robotic creatures are really great. Unfortunately, that’s about all I can say about this game that is good. With games like BotW and RDR2, the bar for open world games is set pretty high, and very few are able to cross it. Horizon: Zero Dawn doesn’t even come close. The fact this is a PlayStation exclusive is very surprising, as it has Ubisoft written all over it. The story is uninteresting, characters look and sound like robots, the map is large and empty, interesting combat takes a backseat for slowly placing traps. Guerilla has shown that they aren’t really capable of making a compelling open world experience, but I would be interested in seeing them give a game more similar in style to God of War a try.
