Horizon Zero Dawn is a pretty fun game - when it works. It has a mediocre story (with the exception of discovering the unoriginal history of the world), mediocre characters (with the exception of some side characters) and early access level indie game hitboxes, which affect the gameplay experience from one extreme to another. But it also has beautiful graphics. When the combat is literally the best aspect of the game, but with the mechanics working every other day, (even when including other positives) I cannot award a higher score than 6/10.
