When playing story missions, this changes drastically. Some is scattered about the environment, there for you to find, rewarding explorers for the effort being put in. Just because there is a lot of rich lore doesn’t mean it’s been presented in an optimal way. It’s rather exciting to contemplate the possibilities. The world of Aloy and the Nora could easy lend itself to other games - and a variety of genres - just like Microsoft’s Halo, with potential stories that could revolve around different tribes or even during different time periods. There’s enough backstory to choke a (robot) horse, presented in audio logs, text logs, holographic recordings and the like. While Sony’s not yet ready to confirm this new entity as a franchise alongside The Last of Us or Uncharted, it’s clear Guerrilla has planned for an extensive future. Horizon: Zero Dawn is committed to detailing its lore, from the mysteries of Aloy’s origins, to why society has been wiped off the face of the planet. Numerous and relentless, they threaten the everyday lives of (what’s become of) humanity. To embrace any aspect of technology requiring electricity is to become an outcast, even if it would give an advantage when avoiding the predatory gaze of metal beasts fashioned after wolves, horses, crocodiles and eagles. The Nora are the most afraid of electronic remnants left behind by the likes of us, passing down stories of the technological beasts that once wholly ravaged the world - and though diminished, continue to do so. While firmly rooted in science-fiction, Horizon strays from the beaten path, presenting a cavewoman-like hunter named Aloy as she searches for answers in what the developer has called “a post-post apocalyptic world”.Īloy is a member of the Nora tribe, one of three main clans inside Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Killzone: Shadow Fall led a launch effort for the PS4, and its newest, Horizon: Zero Dawn, is the poster child for the recently released PS4 Pro. Guerrilla Games ends up doing a lot of heavy lifting for Sony’s newest consoles.
