Midway through Horizon Forbidden West, Aloy discovers a video from the old world. A holographic figure stands in front of the White House and delivers a hopeful rallying cry for a country at war. “True courage means facing [our] fears with conviction instead of cynicism,” the long-dead speaker firmly declares. It’s a line that sums up Aloy’s entire raison d’être, making her the perfect hero for her “techno-nihilist” times. Horizon Forbidden West is a sequel to 2017’s hit Horizon Zero Dawn.

Some stability issues even after day-one patch; The Cauldrons sidequests are a chore
