I think the combat which you criticized was your problem. You can take down thunderjaws and other big machines with a plan or certain weapons but you chose to just keep jumping so you slow down time and hit a certain part. You can use ropecasters to tie down a machine and then from there do some damage.

I think the story concept of Zero Dawn is criminally underrated. It's actually a possible scenario and well thought of for a game that's basically fighting robot dinosaurs with tribes. The thing that really stood out to me was humanity actually falling completely. No cliche of the humans banding together and winning, no super weapon to save them; every human on the planet helplessly died. The part in the story where the general lied to the public and sent the entire public, trained or not, into an offensive to basically be slaughtered to buy time gave me goosebumps.

don't take this the wrong way, but i kinda hate when people will only play a game a certain way despite numerous readily available and rewarding options available to them and then blame the game for those parts of the game being repetitive. while the human enemies were definitely easier and more uniform than the machines, it kinda sounds like you never used the slings or tripcaster on them because let me tell you, that was amusing and efficient as hell. ropecaster on a human? gold. the game shouldn't have to hold a gamer's hand to stop them from exploiting something (like the jump slo-mo) if it really bothers them that it's there. people like me, who are terrible at combat in general, literally need things like that when pressed, but even i wasn't hopping around all the time because i wanted to at least try to get better at actually fighting. you're being far from whinny or petulant (unlike some other players i've heard), nor are you coming across like a gatekeeper or anything like that; this is just a sore subject for me as the whole "this basically-a-handicap skill shouldn't be here because it's easy to cheese" argument just makes me feel kind of unwelcome and self-conscious in the gaming community, like i have to apologize for being there and very much needing and enjoying those features. and i'm not the only one who feels that way

Been looking for an analysis like that ever since completing the game half a year ago. Thank you! I think the biggest achievement of the game is doing barely anything original (while working within an entirely original IP), but iterating on other's ideas. Ubisoft towers? What if they are moving, and have a whole lot of enemies around them. Witcher sense? Now you don't have to keep the button stressed to follow the tracks or stop the game to see enemies' vulnerabilities. Engaging enemies? We've got 24 types, each with unique weak spot layouts and behaviours. And that confidence bleeds into the quest design and worldbuilding. You are a hunter in that game so most of the time you hunt. The game is laser focused on that gameplay loop.

Get Surfshark VPN at surfshark.deals/thatboy - Enter promo code THATBOY for 83% off and 3 extra months for FREE! IMPORTANT NOTE: Many of you have mentioned that while I criticized the time slowing bunny hop mechanic with the bow, I abused it for almost my entire playthrough. I want to clarify that I do believe it is easily abused; however, I enjoyed abusing it. I feel it should be removed because it causes some balancing issues, and for some, it is annoying watching someone else abuse it. But I still used it plenty because there was something so badass to me about jumping off a cliff and in mid-air sniping a Thunderjaws disc shooter off of its back. I engaged with the elemental effects plenty. I realize that using elemental effects is great for taking down the machines, but for some reason, I felt more inclined to use hardpoint arrows. It also seems that because of this one criticism, I somehow don't enjoy the combat or the game as a whole. I have no idea how that sentiment got across, but it isn't true. I was delighted with my playthroughs and the time spent with this game, and I am beyond psyched for Forbidden West. Hope that clears all of this up!

Despite being a massive fangirl of this game, I definitely am glad I agreed with much of your criticism My one main issue is hearing about the bow. Despite you saying the game rewards planning ahead & changing things up, many machines have elemental weaknesses which I don't think you even mentioned. The Glinthawk for example. Aiming for the canister is a pain but hitting it with 2 nocked fire arrows gets the job done much faster. Similar to the Tramplers. Use 3 on the engine and it stays on fire, making it far easier to fight since it's always taking damage Theres also the Rattler. Use the freeze ones then the impact once an enemy is frozen and even the Hardpoint arrows will struggle to get close to its DPS I could go on and on but it would be redundant & just rude. Overall, I still enjoyed the video a lot. Even gave a diehard fangirl like myself a few things to consider which I liked ♡ glad you still liked the game & hope it's sequel is even moreso

Meridian was a large scale section/city that stood out to me. The hunters lodge within said same city also adds to your Arsenal if you do the side quests. Meridian was definitely a highlight to me personally. The color palette kinda made things look similar within the world. The sequel may remedy that issue I would hope. There’s two ways of slowing time during combat so I’m not sure what else you wanted in place of those two options they gave you to choose between. My only issues would be that the spear combat could’ve been better, your only able to ride one machine type for some reason, facial animations in parts could’ve been better, more stealth options would’ve been nice, last boss fight is a recycled machine you already beat, the cauldrons could’ve looked more different and lastly, better side quests (though it didn’t bother me significantly).

This game needs a remaster/remake for me, to change the conversation system into what they did with the DLC and the sequel, because it looks so incredibly stale and awkward as it is. I love this game, but there's a HUGE chunk of it that is in desperate need of a rework and it's incredibly obvious that the only reason for it to be that way is time and scope on a development timeline, given the DLC was only released later the same year and looked WAY better in this aspect. I would argue it's one of the game's biggest flaws, because it's an experience dampening thing that applies to several hours of potential gameplay with all the conversations you can have with NPCs and even many that you're forced to have.

You said that the bow, stealth and climbing are what sold you on the game, which makes me wonder, do you plan to make any videos on the Tomb Raider "Survivor reboot" in the future? When I first saw Horizon Zero Dawn, it just seemed like a rip off of those games. And in a way, it is. They play pretty much the exact same way, though I think the different enemy types and huge variety of weapons Aloy has as opposed to Lara's makes them different enough. But they are very similar, so if that's what got you into Horizon, what about those games? On the presentation of the story, I'm surprised you didn't mention the lack of actual cutscenes to progress the story. Maybe I am just not remembering them all, but as I recall, they were very few. Most of the time, the story is told through the same shot/reverse-shot bit when you speak to NPC's, and it was honestly the most boring thing ever. I am a bit of a completionist nut, so I actually did make sure I heard every line possible from them, and holy hell were they a bore to sit through, especially when characters would blab on and on and on! And, this is how most of the story is presented, again, if I'm not misremembering. Minus the holographic recordings we find. Which I actually disagree with you on, I loved experiencing it that way. It truly does make it feel as if you are discovering historic recordings of an ancient past. I took issues with the open world, not because it wasn't always unique, but because it was so unnecessarily large, and it's just boring to run through the same grass fields, snow fields and forests all the time. Riding on a machine isn't fun because I'm just constantly pressing a button over and over to keep speed but then a small bump makes me lose all of it anyway. Great video though. Always love your in-depth reviews. I can't always watch your videos, because I have yet to play some of the games you review, but once I do, I always come here to watch.

It is cool that the concept is based in realism, but what I find actually compelling and scary is the underlying comparison to climate change disaster, how the old world had its climate change catastrophe, but because the underlying system that caused it wasn't ever changed and because the only solution that was implemented was technological innovation, they repeated the disaster even worse than before, creating robots that literally just ATE the environment like a virus, an invasive species, like us when we don't check ourselves. Horizon is actually frightening because it's rooted in something WE are already doing to ourselves in the real world and that isn't going to change. Climate change will claim millions of human lives in the future, we won't be able to stop that any longer and the resulting effects will hurt us all. Except for the Ted Faros of the world.

That's why Gaia's choice to stop Hades is powerful because that machine learned to emote, by having both do so, it robs the story.

The mix of using freeze arrows and bomb slings is 10x more damage than any bow can.

I love the story and world-building of this game. The simultaneous learning of the 'Old Ones' as well as the current tribes and their history. How the old technologically advanced civilization has been viewed and taken on board by the people just discovering small elements at a time. How the Carja see the world and the Nora are different like our own societies and religions based on climate and surroundings, but also those surroundings in relation to the 'Old Ones' structures. It all feels natural and believable if this situation were to occur. The story having the current threat overlapping and interweaving between the past and present choices of the human world is fascinating. The actions that lead to the devastation are plausible, and the reaction even more so. It's extremely good narrative writing, even if the dialogue isn't your style.

Good video, but I thought the world was plenty memorable. I can easily picture Meridian/Sunfall/Day Tower. Nora/Carja/Oseram architecture is distinct from one another. Different biomes indicating different territories etc. And jumping around to trigger slow motion constantly doesn't look fun or satisfying at all. But everyone plays differently

The motion capture is god tier in Forbidden west Its actually insane, I don't think there was a single line of dialogue that wasn't accompanied by motion captured even in super small side quests. Kinda makes me want to see HZD Remastered with that same Motion capture. That's one of my biggest issues with the first game. Convos are so boring to look at The character just stand there, Its jarring when you play the DLC too cause they fixed it in that and mocapped most things

I finished this game a month ago, turns out i left the last mission on hold for two years and never bothered finishing it, it was pretty good, but since i played the end right after finishing God Of War the melee combat left a bad taste in my mouth, the rest of the game is pretty much amazing, just hope melee combat is better in Forbidden West

Another great review Aqua! I agree with a lot of what you said here, especially with how the world feels so captivating when you’re in the moment playing it but just doesn’t hold the same awe when you look back at it. I wasn’t aware of the bunny hop bullet time, or at least I don’t remember using it. I can see how abusing it can simplify the gameplay and take some of the fun out of it, but you could also just... not abuse it? I feel like it’s a choice to play like that, there’s plenty of weapons and tools that allow more depth with the combat. I don’t know, maybe that just me. Fun fact about Frozen Wilds, depending on how early you complete the dlc, you will get unique dialogue both in the main game’s story and in the Frozen Wilds. For example, I had completed the dlc before ever meeting Sylens, and as such he was never mentioned and he doesn’t talk to you during the dlc. Along with that, there were times in the main story where Aloy and Sylens mention Cyan and Hephaestus, such as when they were learning about Hades and Project Zero Dawn. Oh, and Aratak will show up to help you fight in the final battle of the game which is pretty neat.

I was surprised by HZD when I absolutely loved the climbing animations. The most common climbing I had seen was in Assassin's Creed games, but I loved watching these animations. Instead of just reaching up for the next handhold, Aloy will boost herself up and then leap up the wall to grab the next point. Her whole body is part of the climb. It was something I had never seen before and I really liked it.

I think Forbidden West has a lot of room for story improvement generally, but the world building in Zero Dawn was so amazingly strong. The written details and clues to how the world became as it is are so thorough and well-planned. They've got the basis for an absolutely stunning franchise

Jesus Christ it hurt to watch him only play like that. There's so many other effective weapons (and arrows) at your disposal, I was just sad the weapon wheel could only hold 4 at a time. This shit just looks like straight autism. I never felt the need to play like that. I get it, people play games differently, and I appreciate that aqua usually has something a little different to say, but sometimes I feel like he just misses the point entirely, especially when he's supposed to be capturing gameplay footage, it's disappointing to see this as most of the combat displayed.

I don't see how you was able to enjoy the game by doing that bunny hop and exploiting that mechanic the whole game. You made the combat look so boring doing that in every combat clip. Did you suck that bad that you felt the need to exploit something you claimed should be removed?

the dlc is worth it coming from me. if your not that stacked with good weapons just do these steps. 1. hunt animals and get their loot. 2. use said loot to get a bluegleam map 3. collect said bluegleam by using the map 4. get the weapons. 5. your stacked.
