While I was anticipating this game like no other on release, I did not put the time in I would have liked and was also going through personal struggles that led me to ultimately never finish the game.

Fast forward to November '22 and I am going through the Playstation+ Extra catalog, and there is Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition along with the sequel on sale for Black Friday. I have begun my journey as Alloy and have already taken down some of the machines. What has really stunned me, beyond the amazing PS5 patch, is the really gripping story, defined characters with their own motivations that compliments the great gameplay to make this a game I'm really glad I picked back up to experience.

Decided to play more God of War on the PS5 today after work, was not disappointed. Before meeting back up with the witch of the woods I decided to hop on the boat with Atreus and complete some of the optional quests around the lake and really enjoyed the extra stuff you can find and do. It really feels like a natural extension of the main story.

Also Kratos and his son getting progressively more badass while also closer as father & son is super cool to see develop.
