Horizon Zero Dawn
I like Horizon. I don't think it’s among the best in its genre but it has its own qualities that really make it special. The world building is very well done and the story keeps you asking questions making you eager for the next big reveal. The combat keeps you on the edge of your seat at times making for fun encounters. I really love the setting the devs came up with here and it makes for an interesting world to explore. The one thing that bothers me about the Horizon games is the HUD design. I’m playing through Forbidden West currently and it's a bit disappointing that they didn’t improve on the HUD design. With how beautiful these games look it’s crazy that the HUD can look so cluttered at times. You can disable parts of the HUD in the menu but you can tell that the game clearly wasn’t meant to be played with certain elements turned off. The remaster, while I agree with many people, isn't necessary. It's the ideal way to play the game and makes it feels like a new release. Overall I quite like this series and I'm curious to see where Guerilla games goes next with it.
