Horizon Forbidden West looks bigger and more dangerous than ever

(Paradigm credit: Sony)

Horizon Forbidden West is drawing closer to its Feb 18 launch, and it looks set to have a greater range of machines to battle than the first game.

That's because the Horizon Forbidden Westward Piggyback strategy guide, as spotted by Push Square, recently became available for pre-order. The guide has noted that the game volition feature more than than 40 machines. These include the Bristleback, Burrowers, Clamberjaws and Slitherfangs we've seen the the trailers thus far. Comparatively, Horizon Zero Dawn had just 26 metallic creatures to take on.

This is all promising stuff, every bit the combat against the machines in Horizon Zero Dawn was ane of its best parts.

In Nix Dawn, player character Aloy would scan a machine to identify its strengths and weaknesses, and then attempt to betrayal those weak points by shooting off dangerous parts. She could then exploit vulnerable components or elemental weaknesses. On acme of this, different machines had varied behaviors and attack patterns, making them both challenging and fun to fight.

On pinnacle of this, the strategy guide hints at a wider range of quests and locations to explore in the game. The guide is 650 pages long, which is a pretty solid indicator that Horizon Forbidden West won't exist a small or constrained game.

Of form, size doesn't ever matter when it comes to games; quality is more than important than quantity. Nosotros hope that developer Guerrilla Games ensures the extra content fuels the development of Aloy as a grapheme. Ideally, the optional content volition shed more than lite on the game's story and lore, rather than but add more items to collect.

Horizon Forbidden West is set to exist the showtime big PS5 sectional of 2022. Every bit such, we have loftier hopes for it, particularly afterward the success of Deathloop and Returnal from last year.

If a brilliant, mail-mail-apocalyptic world isn't to your taste, and then Elden Ring is coming out this month equally well. That one offers an open up earth steeped in nighttime fantasy and barbarous combat.
