The world of Horizon Zero Dawn is full of promise. From mountainous tribal villages to clusters of long-decayed skyscrapers, through to mechanical caverns measureless to man, the environment of Guerrilla Games' open-world adventure is one that urges exploration.

I bough it a month ago and I've almost completed the game and I don't want it to end love the story but also love it's still a free world game
