Horizon Zero Dawn
The story is the cliche robots took over
the world and you have to rise up and kill them because you can. Since
this game is based in a post-apocoliptic world you find remnents such as
the focus the main character has which allows her to see through walls
and such to highlight enemies. The robots almost always look like
animals and they are in a large selection of animals as well. Some of
said animals you can hack and ride, but most of what you hack only
fights for you in combat with other machines. The machines that are
rideable do not control very well and when you get hit - you get kicked
off the machine, and then it freaks out and attacks everything or
reverts to original state in some incidents. The main character is weak
so far in the game which makes you have to spend hours getting meat to
make potions or you will die a lot. From early on in the game you can
explore a massive area prior to unlocking the whole world and all of the
many side quests that reward you with scraps and materials.
The logic in how you stay hidden is even better than the infamous Box
from Metal Gear as you crouch in grass and they can't find you even if
you are completely visible. Then if you don't shoot the enemy with an
assortment of traps and weapons you can kill the enemies with a spear.
This makes one of the worst sounds when used on a human as it tries to
simulate the gore in sound. Thankfully every machine has weak spots that
you can exploit such as the eye of a watcher is almost always a one
shot, however the aiming can sometimes be a bit of a pain even with the
broken aim assist that goes around corners. Every weapon in the game has
elemental ammo such as fire arrows or freeze bombs. Personally I prefer
to set up tripwires and traps and then whistle or throw rocks to get the
enemies in the trap. That is also the least gore intense as the
explosion makes the blood not visable as it unrealisticly sprays
everywhere. The armor also gives certain buffs such as increased stealth
or melee abilities. The game also has a RPG leveling system in which you
increase certain attributes to get new skills such as the whistle or
stealth takedown. They become your lifeline fast as they are
consistently used to take out one enemy at a time.
