I've heard a lot of hate for this lately but I have nothing but love for it. I remember that summer of 2018, right after freshman year. I had just gotten my PS4 that Christmas. I played a lot of Fortnite with friends and wanted something single-player. I was sitting on my huge bean bag my parents just got me, and put the disc in. It was like love at first sight. I had not gamed that much before, it was very casual, so a lot of this was new to me. I had never seen graphics like this before, a beautiful, lore-rich world to explore. It was truly an amazing time. I loved exploring, I loved fighting the mechs and I loved learning more about the world. Sure there are flaws, but I was having so much fun, it did not matter. I loved Aloy and her story. I got goosebumps with every crazy revelation in the story. So, I got on that bean bag every single day, from early morning to late night. The last time I could still do that and I enjoyed every minute. It was the first game I platinumed and man it was such a fun one. I just wanted to experience everything this world had to offer. There is so much more to say but I'll end with this: I'm sad so many people could not have the same amazing experience as me but I am so glad for myself as this game has helped me love and appreciate my PlayStations and video games as a whole so much since. There were so many emotions I experienced just playing a video game and I have been chasing that ever since. Horizon changed my life.
