Horizon Zero Dawn - A perfect video game

Several days ago, I was finally able to buy a Playstation 4, and with, included in the package, a video game released recently, but being already recognized as the game of the year by many people, and it is not for nothing.


Horizon Zero Dawn is far away in the future, in a post-apocalyptic world, where modern civilization has completely disappeared, nature has regained its rights, humans now live in tribes and have returned to a primitive stage of life, but henceforth, the earth is no longer their world and is dominated by dangerous machines, with mysterious origins. In this game, the player plays Aloy, a young woman, huntress and member of a tribe, the Nora. Oorphan and pariah, Aloy, in the game, will ride through this vast world in search of her origins and her true destiny.
The Horizon game is an action-RPG, unfolding in a world and open, with as majestic as it is impressive and varied, with mountains, jungles and deserts. For the graphics, I put 20/20, because it is the most beautiful game I've seen in my life, with a level of detail so incredible that when I started the game, I did not stop say "it's beautiful, whore, it's beautiful!".
One of the highlights of the game is of course, the fighting against the machines, which are very numerous and also dangerous ones. Each type of machine has its strengths and weaknesses, and attacks with its own way, which gives very varied, epic and enjoyable fightings, whether against small machines, such as Watchers, robots in the form of raptors, that against giant robots, like the Thunderjaws, which have the form of tyrannosaurs. And instead of fight the machines, you can choose to hack the machines, bring them back on your side, so you can overlap certain types of machines to use them to move you, or use some as allies in the fights. The music is also magnificent, very catchy, and take us into this universe. The weather in the game can change, it can rain, snow, and days and nights go by like a real day. 
The human tribes now live somewhat like the era of our Neolithic ancestors. Horizon manages to combine the elements of the past and the future with incredible coherence. Aside from the main quest, there will also be secondary quests, such as killing bandits in their camps, helping people in need, confronting groups of machines, etc .... During the adventure, we can also explore the ruins of the great cities of modern civilization, which tribal humans call the metal age.
And as in Mass Effect, we can choose the dialogs of Aloy, which will define her choices and her mentality. Aloy is for me, the new iconic badass female character who will leave her mark in the video game, and I hope a sequel will be planned and that Horizon Zero Dawn is the first of a new epic video game saga. She rides machines she hack herself, she kills giant robots with a bow and arrows .... Dare to tell me it's not badass.
Even though this is only the beginning of the year, I am very tempted to say that Horizon Zero Dawn is the game of the year.

Aloy <3 <3 you're so badass!
