Preview: Horizon Zero Dawn

- A curse or a godsend? Since it is not yet Horizon Zero Dawn from. The small Aloy therefore grows outside the tribe on her protector and also pariah Rost. The young heroine is determined to uncover the truth.

Meet Aloy

Already during the first moments of Horizon Zero Dawn you fall in love with Aloy. Lying she looks like baby with big blue eyes in the world in the arms of Rost. Completely unaware of the commotion taking place around her. The next time we see seek small Aloy connection with the children of the tribe Nora, but she is to her great sorrow ignored as an outsider total. While she runs away crying, she falls into a deep hole and discovers a new world in the cave.

Underground is the basis of the past where Aloy several past encounters seem. One of these bodies has sat a metal gadget on the head. When she puts on her head, a grid and see which computers are still working. Aloy also can collect data and audio files. The stories of the dead shows that there has been a great tragedy in 2066. What, however, is not clear.

The game really starts when Aloy is mature. Her gadget, called Focus gives an edge. The visual tool sees to it that they are easy to quickly find the weaknesses of the robots who call the shots or what route they run when they patrol. These robots are clearly inspired by animals such as horses and giraffes, some of Horizon Zero Dawn is a special experience.

Play how you want it

Different types of players are served by this game. You only interested in the main story or the tactical combat? That's no problem. But if you want to explore the whole open world and play all the side missions, then you can. The end of the game remains the same, but who takes the trouble to help other people and build relationships with the various tribes have a deeper game experience.

The different tribes of Horizon Zero Dawn lives of the resources they have available nearby. For Nora tribe where Aloy lives nearby, the forest is very important. But there are also groups that live in the water or in a desert-like environment. People do not know what has happened in the past or how to operate the machines, but they could use. Our heroine. The components of the robots that they destroy it, use again to adjust her outfit, improve weapons or for example to make arrows.

The control of Aloy works quite simply the lower shoulder buttons you use to aim with the bow and arrow and shoot. Are the robots too close then they can attack with the spear and try to turn the machine on its side, making it equally upset. Crouching in tall grass hides in the eye of the enemies, if you gently sneaking around. Under the right analog stick is the Focus. Lets you scan the area on robots, their route and directions of events that have occurred. When this functionality you stand, walk very slowly so it is inconvenient to have to stand the whole time.

mysterious game

Horizon Zero Dawn is a science fiction game with an open world full of mysteries and that appeals to me. I can not wait to find out later what happened to the parents of Aloy and why humanity has perished. Aloy made during the first session of play impressed as heroine with her flaming red hair. Her deep emotions ranging from surprise and determination, to sad and combative, made her credible. Let's hope the rest of Horizon Zero Dawn also makes much impression.

Horizon Zero Dawn is from March 1st in stores for the PlayStation 4.
