9.5/10

Horizon is a game that you can get truly immersed in. The story is roughly 25-30 hours long and to be honest that’s nothing in comparison to how much more gameplay there is. If you incorporate Bandit camps, side quests and other character building events from the game, there is probably well over 100 hours of gameplay there. That is without all of the time you will spend fighting machines for fun, because the combat system is just that good. I never felt like I couldn’t take on an enemy, but I always needed to have my wits about me for every combat situation. All of the machines attack in diff...

For thirteen years, Guerrilla Games have been tied to the Killzone IP. I'll never hide the fact that I'm not a fan of Killzone. It also left me with a perception of Guerrilla that was all wrong. I'd come to believe they couldn't make anything other than a generic FPS. They were stuck repeating themselves in one single franchise. As with every studio, I wanted them to branch out and make something, anything fresh. Something new. Welcome to Horizon Zero Dawn, the game that makes it all worth it.

Destroying large robot beasts while frantically switching between weapons is intoxicating, but the strength of Horizon Zero Dawn is in Aloy's engaging quest to find out who she really is.

8/10

Horizon Zero Dawn is gorgeous and innately playable, even if the open-world gameplay it presents will feel overly familiar to most. The port has some issues that will almost certainly get stamped out in short order and the gameplay has its fair share of frustrations, but anyone looking to stalk some robots will find plenty to like.

Despite suffering from a fair number of issues, Horizon Zero Dawn is a great open world game that largely delivers on its fantasy.

Not for a long time has a game managed to draw me into the world and the lore in the same way as Horizon Zero Dawn. Guerrilla’s perfect execution, attention to detail and imagination shines through in every aspect of this stunning title; from the attention to visual detail, to the deep lore and flowing controls and combat. Horizon Zero Dawn is a defining game for 2017 which is made all the more impressive by it’s origin as a brand new IP.
