I just finished Horizon Forbidden West, and got the Platinum PS4 trophy after "Singularity." Wow... Just, wow. What an amazing ride. I originally gave the series a try because of how much I loved Red Dead, and my desire to explore its actors' other works, but very quickly fell in love with the whole series, and especially Aloy herself. (So yes, my newest addiction is all your fault, @noshirdalal! 😆)
I started Horizon: Zero Dawn back in December, and Platinumed it before immediately starting Forbidden West. I had no idea how much I'd end up loving the world, the story, and every last character in only a matter of months. Just like Red Dead, Horizon gave me hope in a dark, tumultuous time when I needed it most, and whether or not Horizon 3 ever materializes (although of course I hope it does!) nothing can ever take that away.
It's bittersweet to finish the story (for the time being) but I'll definitely be playing through it all over again in the future. Aloy and her band of misfits now have a place in my heart right alongside the Van der Linde gang, and I'm thankful to every single person at Guerilla Games who brought this world to life. 🌎👩🏻🦰🏹
If you haven't played HZD and HFW, friends, please give it a try. I'm confident you won't regret it!
Also, just noticed, but I feel I should get bonus points for earning this trophy on 4/20. 🌱💨
