Call of the Mountain released a couple months prior to TotK (tho i thought it released a bit closer to TotK?? Ig not...). Not to say Horizon has remained "hidden under the shadow of these titans", though it certainly has always been overshadowed at launch by some massive release. |
Yeah I think a lot of the 'negativity' to HZD comes from people switching to the next big release before the game got good. It takes a while for HZD to get going and a lot of people never got past the tutorial area which last 10 hours :/
I disliked TotK as well until past the tutorial sky island, BotW was an exception in being instantly gripping. Which was damaging to HZD. I switched as well, but glad I picked HZD back up after.
