Horizon Zero Dawn 2017

Is it still worth playing?

Guerrilla Games' 2017 open world action role playing game for the PlayStation 4, set in the 31st century. In the post apocalyptic Western United States large robotic machines dominate and humans live in tribes. You play Aloy, an outcast of the Nora tribe who sets out to uncover her past, with a spear, bows, traps and stealth. The Focus scans machines to reveal their weaknesses and loot, and you can hack some of them to ride, climb Tallnecks to reveal map locations and craft ammunition, traps and potions. Each robotic creature has its own weaknesses, for example a fire arrow can knock out a fuel canister, and you can strip a laser gun from one machine and use it. The game takes about 50 hours. Fighting each machine is a small puzzle of weak points, in a seamless world with tribes at different technology levels, which keeps it worth playing now.
