Horizon Zero Dawn
Horizon Zero Dawn was a mixed bag for me when I saw early press releases of it I liked the way Guerrilla had brought a huge game into the fray with dinosaurs coated with mechanical parts as the worlds gone a bit wipe out and the worlds been taken over by tribes trying to survive, your cast as a outcast called Aloy who was shunned by any tribe who sees her, but the story is a story of discovering what's going on with her origin and messages from the past which show her looking like her mother, at one point the story states that the womb of the mountain gave birth to her, making things even more intriguing, but the story's well driven taking you to all kinds of beautiful locations Horizon Zero Dawn and the engine it's running on shows what a great machine PS4 is. Some of the landscape's in the game are remarkable. I'm only 11% into the game and already I've seen a huge amount so this really is going to be a task discovering the whole land, not that I'm bothered I could traverse the world of Zero Dawn for days, Your probably wondering what the dinosaurs were about well a cult and a plan devised back in the living world produced a program that created these dinosaurs and they started reproducing and multiplying and a lady tried to prevent the world from this disaster and now Aloy's looking for what the lady knew so she can stop the destruction. That's how much I know of the story so far you see I've restarted my campaign because I wanted to complete a side quest which had you collecting power cells and one of the them could only be obtained during a early mission which I couldn't return to because of the gate to mothers watch been constantly closed after I'd finished the mission and there was no way of reentering the camp where the mountain was which held the power cell I so needed for a exciting side mission where after collecting six cells you can get your mitts on a powerful amour set. Horizon Zero Dawn is close to been on par with other great open world games there's nothing stopping it from been the next Skyrim or GTA V it really is grand with loads of side quests and an enticing campaign, another classic.
