Are you ready for the adventures with Aloy?

At the time of writing this news, 37,000 players are experiencing Aloy's adventures on Steam (data from SteamDB). Horizon: Zero Dawn ranks among the top 20 most popular games on Steam and everything seems to indicate that this is a successful port. Long before its release, the game was very popular with the players, received positive reviews from critics and sold well as a pre-order. The devs tried to raise visual level of their game, unlocked the limit of frames per second, vegetation reacts to contact with characters. It all sounds great. So why are the reviews of Steam users mixed (53% positive)? The reason is the poor optimization, which was already known before the release.
