PixlBit

I have had this game since shortly after it came out, and I actually started it back then. But then something new and shiny came out, goodness knows what it was, and my Gamer ADD kicked in and I wandered off and never got back to it. Now that I think about it, I might have been angsty about the combat and perceived difficulty and just never made it past the part where Aloy is a little kid. Whatever. It got put down, ended up in a box, and covered with dust until I dug it out last night. Next thing I knew it was after midnight.

I'm loving the story, the graphics, the music, the environment, and, wait for it, the combat. Granted, I am playing on story mode (yes, I am chicken, why do you ask?). It reminds me a lot about what I love about the Tomb Raider reboots. I'm still not very far into the game yet, having fun exploring and getting the combat down, hoarding crafting parts, and doing a couple of side missions before I jump feet first into the main story line. As most of my friends know by now, I'm a fan of story-driven games, and Horizon Zero Dawn is scratching that itch nicely for me. I'm intrigued about what's going to happen next, which is what a good story should do to you.

I'll update again later, after the holiday. Have a safe and fun 4th!
