One of the best story driven open world games I've played in a long time. I found myself not wanting to put it down.
The combat is smooth and encounters with enemies felt like they had an actual reward or consequence.

The story telling is amazing, the world building that went into not only crafting the characters and their personalities but the background for why the world looks like it does and the motivations are so true to life.

Graphically Horizon is a masterpiece the rendering and graphics are on point and you will use the in game camera feature at some point. On this, they even have pre-built poses for Aloy to stand or sit in to make the screenshots more interesting.

Overall this is my nomination for game of the year. I'd play it again if I had the time to devote to it again. At this point I'll continue to pick up the side quests and collectables in the weeks to come.
