How 'Horizon Zero Dawn' Fixes Most Things You Hate About Open World Games

The review embargo for Horizon Zero Dawn has lifted, and I will invite you to read my own full take on the game, along with many, many others who are praising it as pretty excellent. I gave it a 9/10, though it's getting scores even higher than that from a few major outlets, and it current sits at an enviable 88 Metascore. It's a big win for Sony, who already had a big win in 2017 with Nioh, and shows that Nintendo isn't the only company that can produce a large stable of must-have exclusives these days. It's a must-play for PS4 players, even those that may have gotten sick of open world games. In fact, this is what I view as Horizon Zero Dawn's greatest strength.
