'Horizon Zero Dawn' is the latest game everyone is talking about
In case you haven't noticed, a lot of people are talking about Horizon: Zero Dawn.
Trending on both Google and Twitter, Horizon: Zero Dawn is the latest action adventure game for the PlayStation 4. It features Aloy, a hunter trying to survive a post-apocalyptic world dominated by mechanical creatures called Machines. The game was developed by Guerrilla Games, best known for PlayStation franchise Killzone.
Horizon is open world, meaning you will explore its story and forest landscape in any order you want. It also means randomly encountering and defeating animal-like robots roaming the world.
Although the game launches on February 28, the game's first reviews are out, and they are glowing.
Here's a breakdown of a few notable reactions:
"Guerrilla Games has long been developing some of the most buzzed-about games in the industry; with Horizon, it feels like it has finally found its own voice, one worthy of all that buzz."
"Its main activity — combat — is extremely satisfying thanks to the varied design and behaviors of machine-creatures that roam its lands, each of which needs to be taken down with careful consideration."
"Horizon is huge in every way that counts, and it should be celebrated for doing what too many games don't these days: telling an enthralling, time-consuming journey that's already complete on the disc—and one we'll remember for years to come."
