Horizon Zero Dawn is a TPP action game with RPG elements and open world, set in a post-apocalyptic future, in which the universe is overrun by mechanical creatures. The game debuted as a PlayStation 4 exclusive, but after more than three years it was released on PC (as a Complete Edition with Frozen Wilds add-on). Game was developed by Dutch studio Guerrilla Games, known primarily for the Killzone series.

Plot

The action of HZD takes place in a time when mankind's best years are long behind us. Our civilization has fallen, and people unaware of their roots gather in tribes living in the wilderness of the new world. However, not everything on the planet has regressed - the superior role in the environment has been taken by machines, which in unexplained circumstances have evolved into intelligent "animals". The player takes on the role of Aloy - a young, stubborn and warlike girl who wants to explore the secrets of an ancient civilization while trying to learn about her own origins.
