I started #HorizonForbiddenWest#PS5 nearly a year ago, and I think I was playing #HorizonZeroDawn around this time last year. I remember the jank from the first game (Guerrilla got a lot better with character animations), but I also remember the palpable sense of place. Beautiful games.
I also still feel like #HorizonForbiddenWest#PS5 did exactly enough with the main protagonists, the Zeniths. I felt like it was lacking early on, but later, and now, I feel like they fleshed them out exactly as much as they needed. Further, they didn’t fall into the pit of trying to humanize violent, destructive, world-conquering billionaires. There’s a wisdom and economy to these characterizations that still impresses me.
