Plus you have a myriad of side quests, cauldrons, side jobs and hunting grounds to complete. Once you clear out the fog by hacking into the area’s Longneck, there are so many tantalizing question marks to discover. When you’re not fighting, you’ll be doing a fair amount of hunting, exploring, puzzle-solving and fetch-quests similar to the first title. But there’s also a bunch of new weapons and techniques to help you win the day. Some of your favorite weapons are available to help thin out the herds of machines and hostiles standing in your way. But just like in the original title, you’ll be beset by the land, sea and air from all manner of robo-fauna. So far, Leaplashers, a robotic kangaroo, has been the bane of my existence. Speaking of old, some of your favorite favorites such as Thunderjaws, Snapmaws, Chargers and Fanghorns make an appearance. And suddenly, the music intensifies adding deep string accompaniment with robust percussion to accentuate battle. Depending on the activity, you’ll get only the slightest musical accompaniment, a solemn flute with a muted rainstick, serving as a backdrop to Aloy’s grunts as she climbs while the wind whips around. With everything that’s going on in Horizon Forbidden West, the audio is seriously balanced and nuanced. The game is truly a feast for the eyes when you aren’t staring into the cold unfeeling ones of a rampaging machine. Walking along the grass, you’ll see pink bell-shaped plants with their yellow stamens prominently displayed. Climbing a cliff reveals spots of moss growing out of random crevasses. Each branch on an evergreen tree had hundreds of tiny waxy green leaves. Taking a closer look, I was impressed by the level of detail Guerilla squeezed into the game. Right now, I think my favorite areas are the forests since there’s a bunch of different flora and fauna to be seen. There’s also a fair amount of underwater exploration this time around. Similar to the first title, you’ll encounter many different biomes including deserts, marshes, forests and snow-capped mountains.
