You immediately comprehend it, and then you just hone it, which ultimately results in your transformation into a killing machine that behaves in a way that is bewitchingly beautiful, lightning fast, and lethal. Well, first of all, the actual fighting is fire. Especially in situations where multiple categories of foes attack you at the same time. Add some attractive artwork, some juicy animation (due to which each final move seems like a fantastic film), and some light and shadow play into the mix. As a consequence of this, you are able to achieve a certain level of zen through activities such as exploring the open world, going on hunts, and engaging in battles.
Second, the story about the death and rebirth of mankind, while not original, is sincere and at times even poignant (by the way, the game rightfully won a number of awards for several years in a row, such as The Game Awards, in the nominations "best script", "best game", the best acting work "(Ashly Burch for the role of Aloy)," the best technology ", etc.). Third, the game's visuals and sound design are top-notch. In general, Horizon Zero Dawn is the type of game you play when you want to complete all of the quests and see the story through to its conclusion. In certain areas, the purest form of HBO at its finest)
Thirdly, the general level of the game is good (not without conventions, of course), and it is a straight up blockbuster. This does not mean that the game is without its conventions. I gave up on the last assassins, but this is exactly what you require (yes, this location also has a nice parkour, and in general, in concept, there are some comparisons).
Yes, and for the fourth and last point, the music in the game is all ah. Google, for instance, Horizon Zero Dawn - On Our Mother's Shoulders. There is just a heavenly theme at 1:13, and it unexpectedly played for me in the background as I was in the mountains against the backdrop of a bright dawn after a challenging battle - and then SHE sounded. At that very instant, I had the epiphany that this is more than a game; it's a piece of art!
