Horizon is a brilliant fantasy video game series, by Guerilla Games. While role-playing as Aloy, you lead massive changes for the good of the world.
Horizon Zero Dawn (2018)
In the first game, we meet Aloy. She’s an outcast of the Nora Tribe, trying to understand her place in the world. It turns out it’s much more complicated than anyone could imagine.
- Cast: Stellar. Ashly Burch, as Aloy, draws you into the adventure and a vast array of actors play characters who are also intriguing. One of my favorites is Sylens, who was voiced by the incredible Lance Reddick.
- Combat System: Fascinating. It took a bit to get used to it, but once I became comfortable, I loved it.
- Graphics: Bright and crisp. From blades of grass to clouds in the sky, the details were realistic and smoothly rendered.
- Music: Excellent and memorable. I have my favorites pieces, including music on the way to Meridian.
- Story: Gripping. It kept me interested in the unfolding mystery.
Horizon Forbidden West (2022)
The first Horizon game was already captivating and visually stunning. This sequel take the experiences in that world to another level, with the riveting quests and compelling characters.
- Cast: Fantastic. Ashly Burch returns as Aloy. Lance Reddick continued as Sylens. Standouts from new character voice actors are Angela Bassette as Regalla, Carrie Anne Moss as Tilda van der Meer, and Noshir Dalal as Kotallo.
- Combat System: More refined than the first game, which was already well-engineered.
- Graphics: Breathtaking. The most beautiful parts were while flying or being underwater.
- Music: Even better than game one, with Built to Kill being among my favorites.
- Story: Much more engaging than the earlier game, which I’d found captivating. It sets up a sequel that I think will be incredibly memorable.
At least one more game is expected and I’m excited for what could happen next.
