Polygon and the Jimquisition gave it a 9.5, im feeling confident about enjoying this one a lot, this quotes from Jim make me even more sure of it.
"Horizon: Zero Dawn is just brilliant. I speak as a critic who has played more "open sandbox" games than any one human should and has grown so very weary of them. I should have gotten sick of this thing in an hour, but I've been glued to it for days and days and I don't want it to end. I love existing in this world - a world of desperate survival but of growing culture and a sense of hope. A world of giant metal animals that promise some breathtaking fights."
"This is one of the first open world games I’ve played in years that actually caught me in the trap of pursuing sidequests, hunting for collectibles, and scouring ruins for loot because it’s a world I simply love being in. Not only is it gorgeous to look at, it’s packed full of interesting locations and the machine threat is as fascinating as it is intimidating." |
Everything he says though doesn't speak about it being innovative and truly fresh. He's basically saying it's another me-too sandbox game, set in a different setting thus... interesting. It's like saying you can't stand horror movies but Freddy Krueger is such an awesome character that you can't stop watching it. In the end, it's STILL another horror movie. |
I dont need a game to be any of those things to be incredibly fun, TLOU is one of the best games ive ever played and nothing about it was truly innovative or fresh, it was just a really well done game.
