Really fun game, bought it a while ago on PC and finally getting around to it! It’s beautiful and I find it funny how they worship a door

    Yeah! I just finished Horizon a month or so ago. The backstories of games are often so-so, but I found this one really enjoyable. :) In typical min-max style, I found myself almost exclusively using the precision bow for sniping, and amped up the tear damage as much as possible. Maybe it’s just my play style, but I didn’t really find the elemental effects to do much most of the time.

    One thing I didn’t think worked well in the game is how you are often in fights with towering machines. You are always looking up at them, with the 3rd person camera in the grass unable to see where you are going or what you are aiming at… :(

    It’s a fun game and a good story. I found exploration outside the main story a little lacking but the creatures world realisation and the main character were fantastic.

    Me too, it’s fun and if you are into finding farming grounds you can do that too.

    I’m just trying to forget about the robots not having infrared vision despite them having all other kinds of methods to kill you.

    Oh this game is so good! I still haven’t finished it but I need to get back to it so I can get started on the next one! I love the story and the scenery is stunning!

    Door worship is good, just wait until

    spoiler

    it opens!

    One of my favourite games in recent years. I found the combat got a bit too hard, so dropped the difficulty down to Easy to finish - the story is well worth finishing.

    I’ve been playing this too (I’m about 35 hours in) but haven’t discovered any doors of worship so I’ll keep my eye out for those.

    I like those bomb arrows that blow armour off the robots 😎 those and that bomb slingshot!

      Oh, there’s one at the beginning of the game. After the proving trials (or whatever they were called) you wake up in the facility with all the stalactites and the broken door that scans you and says something about genetic matches. The voice is what the matriarchs were calling the all-mother.

      Tear arrows are amazing - blow the guns off the robots then use the precision arrows to hit the weak points.
