Horizon Zero Dawn is an action role-playing video game developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for PlayStation 4 and released in early 2017. The images below are Horizon Zero Dawn digital wallpapers from Guerrilla Games.
Story and Gameplay
The plot revolves around Aloy, a hunter, and archer living in a world overrun by robots. Because she has been an outcast her whole life, she sets out to discover the dangers that kept her sheltered.
In combat, she uses ranged weapons, a spear, and stealth tactics against the mechanized creatures, whose remains she can loot for resources.
Meanwhile, a skill tree provides the player with new abilities and passive bonuses. The game features an open world environment for Aloy to explore, divided into tribes that hold side quests to undertake, while the main story guides her across the entire map.
Overall, the concept explores the contrast between the beauty and danger of the game’s setting. In addition, Guerrilla Games emphasizes trial and error as the basis for playing the game. Behind the scenes, Guerrilla Games previously engineered the Decima game engine for Killzone Shadow Fall and then altered it for Horizon Zero Dawn.
Notably, Horizon Zero Dawn won the award for Best Original Game at the Game Critics Awards in 2015 and 2016. At release, critics received it well and praised the open world, story, visuals, combat, the character of Aloy and the performance of her voice actress Ashly Burch, whilst criticizing the dialogue, melee combat, and character models.
In fact, it was the best-selling launch of an original IP on the PlayStation 4 console and, as of June 2017, had sold 3.4 million copies, making it the second best-selling PlayStation 4 video game.
