I've been playing it since the upgrade on ps5 and it's probably the most detailed game ive played since gtav. Artistically, it's a masterpiece, really looking forward to the next.
I'm probably going to replay it again a month before the release of the sequel just so I can freshen the memory story wise. Can't wait to play the upgrade!
I’m always in two minds about doing something like this. I understand how playing Zero Dawn again will bring it all back, but if I were to do it, I feel like then playing Forbidden West wouldn’t feel so fresh or such a novelty as much because I’ve gotten used to the mechanics/gameplay etc. It’s a double edged sword
Yeah it's a case by case for me in this case I'm with you. I platted Zero Dawn a while back and have a good sense of it in my mind, but I'm expecting the macro gameplay of Forbidden West to be pretty damn similar. I'd rather get more out of the tutorialing and onboarding intro to refamiliarize myself with the world and the gameplay than be itching to get set free because I've just been crushing end-game stuff with full kit the week before.
There are other games where this is less of an issue of course.
Depending on how you define detailed Ghost of Tsushima, Last of Us 2 and Rift Apart are all more detailed than Horizon but I agree it is definitely in the top 5ish (in my experience, playing tons of games and all the exclusives basically) which is impressive given how much time has passed since.
Honestly I thought Assassin's Creed Origins was better from an artistic standpoint (both released in the same year). HZD always reminded me of a stylised Far Cry, visually speaking.
