It may seem jarring to include a song from a sci-fi space game for one about robots and bows, but it fits more than you think. No Man’s Sky’s soundtrack perfectly reflects the feeling of exploration and discovery that players experience in Horizon Zero Dawn. Aloy is allowed to fully travel the world for the first time, gazing at everything with a sense of wonder and hope. This is as close to exploring the cosmos as it gets for her, and there’s a lot to be taken in by along the way as you help others, gather resources, or complete missions.
Guerrilla’s action-RPG contains areas in the game where remnants of humanity remain, and those caves and bunkers are the best places to hear this song. Just open up the Focus and take everything in, maybe snap some pics and solve whatever puzzles there are in the caves. Listen to some audio logs, then head back the way you came and continue to travel the world.
Of course, you could always play the song as you go through side missions and explore the world. There’s sure to be plenty of amazing things to gawk at once you go off the critical path, and there’s plenty of lore to be taken in by, from the audio logs to data entries left by the Old Ones. Adventure is out there, and this song will make you want to be a part of it.
