Horizon is a great game, it's probably one of my favourite game series of all time at this point. Zero Dawn hit all the storytelling tropes that I typically enjoy in games, and had amazing dynamic combat too. It reminded a bit of monster hunter with the preparation you went into big fights with, but also there was a degree of improvisation when stuff didn't go according to plan.

As someone who didn't think Zero Dawn needed a sequel at all, I actually really enjoyed Forbidden West. I think you'll be in for a good time when you get a chance to play it.
