Let me know what you'd like to see covered next!

This is exactly what I needed with forbidden west coming out on PC now, much better than the other 10-20 minute versions on youtube.

Love how this game didn’t coddle you; early on, these machines will own you. Also love when people start referring to her as a savior, she declares that they don’t own her via this legend and she ‘chooses’ to help. Very well written.

[marianix]

Haha I love how you say 'Aloy defeats the machine(s) and proceeds to her next objective-' etc etc. Whereas for me it was like 'Aloy got owned several times by the machines, eventually manages to defeat them, runs out of materials, has to go material farming and THEN moves on to her next task, where she will once again get owned by the machines.' That's how I played it anyways. 😅

While replaying Zero Dawn, I never noticed how they’ve actually mentioned the Forbidden West. In some dialogue it gets mentioned & there’s even a data entry that you can scan that describes the Forbidden West.

Makes me feel like Guerilla has been planning for this game while developing Zero Dawn.

Horizon is by far the best-written and most engaging new content I've found in any media; for me, playing it has been like reading a great book, watching a superb movie, and playing an immersive and engaging video game that brings back all of my favorite aspects of Far Cry Primal with a new futuristic post-apocalyptic twist. Your piece does do the game justice, very good work!

[charmer]

This story is the first to really affect me in a while. You could feel their hope and desperation

[joshuaj]

That was phenomenal. So well done! So glad I committed to this longer video, it was great, truly. I feel totally prepped for forbidden west!

Man thanks for this! I've beaten HZD back in 2018 and your video was just what I needed to catch up on the story. Keep it up!

[dadking]

This breakdown and summary of the HZD and the Frozen Wilds (Plus comics) is extremely well done. Don't apologize for how long it was, any shorter and you wouldn't have done the game justice. The perfect summary for players to get reacquainted or new players to get caught up on the lore before playing Forbidden West.

[Bellcharles]

Horizon made me clap at the end I was genuinely impressed & enjoyed the game…I can’t wait for HFW.

[ardendolas]

Thank you so much for this video, it was extremely well done, and a great recap for yours truly, who played the game four years ago. I particularly like how you also patched in the extra stories from these comics I didn't even know existed! Can't wait to explore the Forbidden West!

[mr_guard]

Thank you for covering this game because it was great to play with a beautiful story

[opticalorange]

It’s been a while since I played the game but it’s one of my all time favorites and I’m super hyped for the sequel!! So grateful for this awesome recap!

[gamereyemd]

This is a great summary. Direct to the point, no dramatics or time wasting jokes, and just straight to the meat of the narrative. Excellent work!

[BoujeBauji]

I haven't seen a better story recap video till date. It includes all the important parts of the game, mentions the side plots, and just doesn't leave anything. Kudos🎉

[Standby_legend]

I’ve played this game a long time ago and been looking at a good recap to catch up for the next one. The other videos were too short and abrupt for me but this one takes me back like I was actually playing the story again! Great work and really appreciate you making this long and detailed video 🙌🏽

[jvw]

I'll be playing HFW really soon, i beat HZD a few years back, this was a great summary!

[The_Primary_Axiom]

Best sci-fi story ever. The exposition and the way you had to put everything together was brilliantly done.
