Five minutes into Horizon Zero Dawn and it becomes clear the risk has paid off.
The smart skill system in Horizon gives Aloy access to a variety of abilities and is split between three trees; Prowler, Brave and Forager.
In most games featuring skill trees t is normally a portion of the skills that can feel useless or arbitrary, but in Horizon every skill feels important.
T is an overriding patience to Horizon that is present not only in the combat but also in other areas of the game.
Unlike some games that can rattle through enemy types and key points in the storyline in the space of a few hours, Horizon expertly paces not just the unveiling of new machines but the overarching mystery of the game, slowly peeling back layer-by-layer as the player advances through the engrossing main quest line.
T are 60 collectibles in the game including a number of different ancient artifacts and also over 200 hidden audio and text ‘datapoints’ that each give a small insight into the history of the Horizon universe.
Horizon Zero Dawn is a fresh, masterfully crafted and astoundingly detailed open world adventure with some of the most polished and fully-realized action the genre has ever seen.
Coupled with a rich and compelling story and a strong protagonist, Horizon is a breath of fresh air and one of the best new franchises the PS4 has ever seen.
