Horizon Forbidden West

Now look at her. It’s freaking jaw-dropping. We’re old enough to remember monochrome games. How far we’ve come. Hell just look at Aloy in Zero Dawn… how far we’ve come.

If you’ve never played a Horizon game then the animals are mechs. Kinda. They’re animated incredibly well, and here with the god rays, spectacular (ha) to look at.

You can ride them too. If you happen to want to do that. There are few things cooler in gaming than climbing a Tall Neck (not shown) and basking in the scenery.

A great reminder of why humankind spent centuries attempting to master flight. The brightest minds of generations working on it. Now the brightest minds find us new ways to max our frame rate. A noble cause.

Volumetric fog. God rays. Foliage as far as the eye can see. Games are so darn pretty these days.

We’ll finish up with another shot of Aloy. People are part of our in-built realism detector. It’s why the uncanny valley exists. Aloy doesn’t reside there. She’s more real than anyone on Jersey Shore.
