Tiny Aloy = Story and Character Development
The most compelling aspect about Horizon Zero Dawn so far is its story. All the trailers and promotional materials released for the game highlight Horizon’s unique setting, its strong female protagonist, as well as some lore and story. Most notably, the trailers have given us a few brief glimpses at Aloy as a child, and how she matures into the powerful hunter we’ll get to play as in the game. While we’re still largely in the dark when it comes to the game’s overarching story, Aloy herself does seem like a pretty likable character and we’re excited to see how her story turns out.
From what we’ve seen so far, it looks like Aloy will embark on a journey to find out exactly what happened to humanity all those years ago, and what caused the Machines to run rampant. No matter what, it’s clear that the game’s plot is a big focus for Guerrilla Games, so players can expect a story to get reasonably invested in.
