10 Best First Party Exclusives of the Generation, According to Metacritic

One of 2017’s big highlights, Horizon Zero Dawn stunned the gaming industry with its incredible blend of stellar sci-fi storytelling, open world design, and drop dead gorgeous graphics. The game’s robot-dino enemies and warring human tribes teed up a narrative premise that felt refreshingly inventive and unique, and that’s something to be savored in an industry that has a habit of regurgitating in-vogue trends.

In the end, Horizon Zero Dawn was celebrated by critics and users alike, peaking at an impressive 89 on Metacritic. Guerrilla Games’ first attempt at an open-world RPG has essentially reset the benchmark of what we’ve come to expect from the genre.
