Horizon Zero Dawn is a greatly anticipated game that looks set to be released in the latter half of 2016. At the moment, we don’t have all that much to go on in regards to the storyline, but there has been a lot released/shown in regards to the combat of the game. As it is a released by Guerrilla Games, the chances are in favour of the combat being a key part of the game’s attraction, as that is what they’re known for producing.
Zero Dawn is set in a prehistoric world, but with some important distinctions between it and our typical understanding of hunter-gatherer lifestyles and environments. Most of these are brought about by how the monsters that you’ll be looting resources from in games are machines that look similar and behave similarly to animals. You’ll be able to loot explosives and metal weapons from said machines, thereby enhancing your combat potential.
The game looks like it will be an open-world style of gameplay. It also looks like you’ll spend most of the game by yourself, so it is unlikely you’ll be forming up parties too often.
