I wasnt the biggest fan of either Guerilla GamesHorizon: Zero DawnorHorizon: Forbidden West.
Better yet, itsnot even exclusive to the PlayStation.
I had a rather constrained 45-minute game demo of the game in its still-unfinished state.
If youre looking for a realistic portrayal of Horizons story, wait forthe TV show.
Enemies fly apart in a shower of pegs and pieces.
All the destructible crates shatter with the sound of plastic clattering against the floor.
Walking through the snow, your footprints appear as Lego studs planted into the ground.
The lighting from fires and lanterns captures the plastic sheen of your typical unmarred Lego piece.
Otherwise, its a top-down action game that boils down the elements fromZero Dawninto a very simple package.
you’re able to stand in the tall grass to sneak around enemies before launching attacks.
Theres two-player drop-in co-op as well.
Aloy cant pick up spear upgrades, and vice-versa for Varl and any bow weapons.
Still, there are plenty of weapon drops to share between them.
Its silly, quick, and fun.
The game is coming to PC, PS5, andNintendo Switch, but theres no cross-play while online co-op.
If youre too excited to wait, you could take a few weeks tobuild theofficial Lego Tallneckinstead.
News from the future, delivered to your present.
Those who want a console at launch June 5 should get in line as soon as possible.
