You can adjust the damage Aloy deals and receives to/from enemies. There are five difficulty settings in Horizon Forbidden West, from Story Mode to Very Hard. Cinematic scenes feature more realistic violence than the violence found in general gameplay, including tribes shooting each other using bows and arrows and scenes of execution at spearpoint. Violence is similar in style to that found in 'Zero Dawn', with Aloy and her companions fighting both mechanical dinosaur-like creatures and enemy tribes. This takes you to a ruined version of San Francisco and the Yosemite Valley. You discover messages and artefacts from the Old Ones, lying beneath the ruins. Progress into the mysterious western frontier grants not only a larger map but new secrets about the world. This takes the premise of the first game and plays it out in broader locations: lush valleys, dry deserts, snowy mountains, tropical beaches and ruined cities, both above and below the water. Along the way, she must reunite with old friends, forge alliances with warring new factions and unravel the legacy of the ancient past – all the while trying to stay one step ahead of a seemingly undefeatable new enemy.Īs you fight, hunt and explore your way through the land, you discover hostile regions ravaged by massive storms that are occupied by new deadly machines. It's up to Aloy to uncover the secrets behind these threats and restore order and balance to the world.

Vicious storms and an unstoppable blight ravage the scattered remnants of humanity, while fearsome new machines prowl their borders. The story of Aloy continues as she sets out to investigate a plague terminating from an arcane frontier known as the Forbidden West. Horizon Forbidden West is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure where you explore an overgrown landscape with now-crumbling remnants of modern life.
