"Horizon: Zero Dawn"

Drawing inspiration from the open world fantasies of Elder Scrolls, the hunter-gathering of Red Dead, Assassin's Creed-style wall clambering and Batman's investigative skills, Horizon Zero Dawn certainly wears its influences on its sleeve. But it manages to blend these elements seamlessly into a fantasy sci-fi hybrid with an engaging story and interesting open world environment. And best of all, it actually feels like it was designed as a single player experience instead of one of the endless pseudo-multiplayers on the PS4.

The Dawn of Something Great

Exclusives have always driven fans of systems. Nintendo has Mario, Zelda and Kirby - SEGA has Sonic. While that ultimate rivalry might never be rivaled, Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony continue this tradition with the current generation of systems. In the last decade or so I have gravitated toward either Sony or PC, even as Nintendo has made a big resurgence. Sony offers me games I like - and their exclusives match my style. Horizon: Zero Dawn was one of the first, big games to show off the flashy new system. And while I took my sweet time getting to it - waiting for a complete version at reasonable price (too used to Steam mentality), I have to say the wait was worth it. This game sits right alongside The Last of Us as a compelling reason that Sony still deserves my full support.
