Horizon Video Game Series
Horizon
A series of open-world TPP action adventure games set in a distant, post-apocalyptic future. Dutch studio Guerilla Games is behind its development, and the publisher is Sony Interactive Entertainment, which has custody of the brand.
The series Horizon series was initiated by the game released in 2017 on PlayStation 4. Horizon: Zero Dawn. The same year saw the release of an expansion titled The Frozen Wilds, introducing a new area and expanding the storyline. Three years later, its premiere was Horizon: Zero Dawn - Complete Edition, containing the basic version of this production and an expansion pack. Interestingly, this edition came not only to PlayStation 4, but also to personal computers, being the first major exclusive title of the Japanese giant to leave the PlayStation "ecosystem". The second part of the series, namely. Horizon: Forbidden West, made its debut in 2022 on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, while 2023 brought the release of a spin-off titled Horizon: Call of the Mountain, which is an FPP action adventure game. This fruit of cooperation between the authors of the original and the Firesprite studio was created for the PlayStation VR2 virtual reality goggles. In the same year Horizon: Forbidden West was enriched with a story add-on Burning Shores.
The series Horizon takes us on a journey to a post-apocalyptic world of the future, in which humanity (or, in fact, what's left of it) has divided into communities reminiscent of prehistoric tribes, while the Earth has been overrun by machines reminiscent of animals and dinosaurs. In the first installment of the series, we play Aloy - an orphan and clan outcast, who tries to discover the mystery of her origins by learning the identity of her mother. As if by the way, the girl learns more and more about the fallen civilization, as well as the world around her and the danger lurking in it. In the second installment of the series, Aloy travels to the titular west to investigate a new danger in the form of a mysterious plague threatening all living things. W Horizon: Call of the Mountain on the other hand, we take on the role of a warrior named Ryas, who, while investigating the new threat, seeks to regain his lost honor.
Main parts of the series Horizon are action adventure games with RPG elements, featuring action from a third-person perspective (TPP). Their main attraction is the vast and picturesque open worlds and dynamic and impressive clashes with various machines. We eliminate robots by making use of an extensive arsenal, gradually stripping them of their weapons and armor and targeting their weak points. An elaborate crafting system is also at our disposal; based on resources found along the way, we can produce useful items and upgrade our equipment. In addition to the missions pushing the plot forward, there are numerous tasks and side activities waiting to be checked. Some changes in mechanics were introduced by the game Horizon: Call of the Mountain; in it the action is viewed from a first-person perspective (FPP), and the adventure leads us through a variety of locations with a closed structure.
Series Horizon can boast a graphic design of very high quality. With attention to detail was designed not only the game world, but also the machines with which we often face.

February 28, 2017
A third-person action game with RPG elements created by Guerilla Games, the studio known for Killzone series. The game is set in the distant future, where the world is ruled by intelligent animal-like forms that evolved from the machines responsible for the fall of an advanced human civilization centuries ago; the former rulers of the world survived, but their lifestyle was reduced to that of primitive, isolated tribes. The player takes the role of Aloy – a young girl, who seeks to find secrets of the ancients and discover her destiny. The heroine is not defenseless in this dangerous world. When fighting hostile machines she can count on her skills (developed individually) and loads of futuristic weapons, made up of parts of fallen enemies. The game is set in an open world, and the protagonist is free to choose both the order and method in which she undertakes missions. You can either openly confront your enemies or cunningly exploit their weaknesses.
