Horizon is a complicated game to have thoughts on. In one hand its a typical open world that follows the typical traits of this genre and does nothing to innovate on that.
However it also provides some great and unique combat that focuses on understanding the weakness on the robots and using different weapons to trap or stun the enemies. Each encounter was a challenge and required thought and that makes for a great combat system.
The main story of HZD is nothing special and doesnt break new ground however the world-building is extremely impressive and you find yourself wanting to learn more about the history.
Aloy provides a great positive representation for women, she is independent and is presented as a warrior and is refreshingly oblivious to the approaches of men during the story.
