Let’s get one thing out of the way first: If you’ve enjoyed Horizon: Zero Dawn and are already looking forward to the sequel, there’s likely only a very small chance you won’t enjoy Forbidden West. Guerrilla Games made sure of that by giving you a game that is functionally identical to a lot of Zero Dawn. You will take on herds of machines so you can harvest them for parts. You will shoot animals for their hides. You will climb Tallnecks and rappel down. You will take out countless camps of near-identical human opponents.
And, if you’re anything like me, you will also take a lot of pictures – of swirling red sandstorms, snow-tipped mountains and views of sprawling forests. In truth, I can’t calm down about the way Forbidden West looks. Someone made this, and you can walk around in it!
