Horizon Zero Dawn released to critical acclaim and consumer success but why did it succeed. My best guess would be the theme of the game.

The general theme for Horizon Zero Dawn is a fairly original one. No game before has had you play a cave woman in a post- apocalyptic United states who fights robotic dinosaurs. When the first trailer for the game dropped, it shocked the world with its ambition and new ideas. While the game play borrowed heavily from Ubisoft games such as Far Cry and Assassins Creed, the story is what made this game so unique.

The first few hours we spend with Aloy are some of the best experiences I’ve had with gaming. The sense of discovery was so profound and refreshing it made the game stand out immediately. We are put into the shoes of a little orphan girl who doesn’t really know who she is and why everyone around her treats her like a rabid animal. As we watch Aloy grow and become the hero that we know we can get behind, we discover what it might be like to be in that position and that’s what this game did so perfectly.

After spending 30 hours with the game, collecting every collectible, do every side quest and discovering every location I can say without a doubt that it is truly one of if not the best open world games to every be released. The combat, though unoriginal, is fun and interactive. The enemy designs are some of the best I have ever seen. All of the weapons feel useful and are a blast to use.

All of this adds up and as I came to the conclusion of my time with Horizon Zero Dawn, I became sad. I had learned so much about the world and its inhabitants but all good things must come to an end. Thankfully the game doesn’t over stay it’s welcome and ends at the most opportune time. With the ending alluding to a sequel, I’m overjoyed at the thought of more journeys with Aloy and I can’t wait.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
