Horizon Forbidden West Spoilercast and Review Discussion | Sacred Symbols+ Episode 176

Back in 2017, Horizon: Zero Dawn launched on PlayStation 4, and it didn't resemble anything Sony-owned studio Guerilla had ever made before. Best known for its dark FPS series Killzone, Guerilla instead delivered an airy open world action-RPG, one rife with tribalistic societies and mysterious robotic creatures, and it went on to sell a staggering 20 million copies. Fast-forward some five years, and its sequel has arrived. While it initially began development as a PS4-only game, it's also natively available on PlayStation 5 (where we played it), and -- for the two of us on today's episode of + -- it blew us away. Gameplay and combat, story and voice acting, main quests and side quests, upgrades and options. It's a wonderful adventure, and one of the best PlayStation exclusive games of all-time. So come join us for a deep, spoiler-filled discussion about all things Horizon: Forbidden West, noting that the first 15 minutes or so are spoiler-free.

How do people know Elisabet is a lesbian instead of bi/pansexual?

Far Zenith is quite certainly a parallel to the elite, and greedy we have in society today. When you put that into perspective, it's not so impossible to believe lol.

I will say that I knew the people from the odyssey would show up because the opening segment of forbidden west suddenly cared very much about this relatively small plot point in the first game, that the mission failed. The writers guiding hand was very clear in that moment for me unfortunately.

Feel like you guys who didn’t play it underestimated how much frozen wilds contributed. Especially when it came to Hepheastus

The theories about Far Zenith and the Odyssey Project were talked about since the first game came out. I follow a youtube channel called Random Side Quest. Ever since he started all the lore videos a lot of us had the suspicion that FZ lied about the Odyssey being destroyed. So when they appeared and confirmed the theory it felt great but a bit anticlimactic. Maybe because I wanted them to blow away my expectations.

Interesting. I'm not too into the lore, to be honest, so I didn't know about expectations.

I thought this game was just okay. I platinumed it today, so it took me from release day until now to do it. I loved a couple of parts of it, and otherwise thought it was a bloated mess of a game with way too many tasks to slog through. The staff needed a better editor to make it a tighter package.

I well and truly loved this game. My favourite PS5 game and one of my favourite games of all time. I had a mostly smooth, visually stunning experience on PS5. The comparisons to Elden Ring are unfair, because besides being an open world it's not even the same type of game. I was blown away by the story and dialogue quality; I truly wasn't expecting this direction at all. It's one of the few open world game designs that I couldn't believe I was seeing. Last time I felt that was with Division 2 (which I first played on Xbox One X in 4K), another game with a visually incredible open world. So much of Forbidden West is charming; from the Vegas story to the introduction of the Quen, the latter of which really 'opened' up the world even more. I mentioned before that I had issues with Aloy herself in the beginning, and I maintain that. I nearly hated the game as a result, and as Ben mentioned; the Bulwark section was so absurd. But with time, Aloy matured as her companion group grew. Honestly, by the final mission they were trading quips in an almost Uncharted style, which I adored. Finally, I thought the gameplay was fantastic. Some of the robot fights are seriously challenging, especially the Slaughterspine. The melee combat felt good, so I highly spec'd that tree, as well as the Ranged combat. I'm SO excited for what's coming in the next game.

The game was amazing and I can't wait to see what's next. I really hope they come out with a DLC for this. Also, the way they did the side quests in this game was great. Way better than most games.

LOL Colin, why does the word "biome" annoy you so much? It's an accurate way to describe a lot of the areas in HFW. (IE: marshes, tundras, deserts...).

Colin, Playstation first party games traditionally put out a new game plus or harder difficulty trophies later on when more features are added through dlc. Last of Us 1/2, Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, Spider-Man all had more difficult trophies added later. I'm confident Forbidden West will get more challenging trophies later.
