Horizon Zero Dawn
Horizon Zero Dawn captivated audiences with its unique setting and likable protagonist in the form of Aloy, a fiery and strong-willed red-haired woman who’s determined to find some answers about her past.
Perhaps the most captivating part about Horizon Zero Dawn is the fact that we start the game out as an outcast. Aloy was cast out of the Nora tribe at a young age for reasons unknown (of course), and because of this, she’s forced to deal with various forms of discrimination whenever she runs into any of the tribesmen. Aloy possesses a tough exterior, but the game manages to sell her softer side as well. On one hand, we cheer her on as she tosses a rock straight at the forehead of Bast, who won’t stop trash talking her, and on the other, it’s hard not to feel a little sad as she replays the hologram of Isaac’s birthday message during the game’s early hours.
Horizon Zero Dawn’s plot thickens as we continue along, and while we felt the conclusion could’ve been handled a little better, there’s no doubt that Aloy’s quickly become one of the most beloved main characters in the PlayStation family.
