About the game

The sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn, following the hunter Aloy as she heads into a region known as the Forbidden West. Combat centers on targeting the weak points of giant machine creatures to knock off their parts. Climbing, gliding and underwater exploration expand the ways you can get around. The Complete Edition includes the Burning Shores expansion.

Why we recommend it

Its unique world stands out: you hunt robotic dinosaurs roaming a post-collapse American West with a bow and spear.

Good for — Great for: anyone who wants stunning scenery together with strategic hunting combat
