Horizon Zero Dawn Spoiler-free Impressions (for real this time)

No I just don't really feel that comfortable sharing my review.
I'm just kinda weird.
So after the 20th I'll stop by and try to answer a few questions and give some thoughts.

Have you given it a low score?

Sorry if this question have been already asked one million times but... did anyone already say something about PS4 vs PS4 Pro boost mode ?

I decided to not even start playing Nioh even though I bought it because there is no way I will finish it before Horizon Zero Dawn releases. And Horizon was my second most anticipated game of 2017 after RE7 so there is no way I am waiting to play it until I finish 70+ hours of Nioh.

I almost did the same thing but the reviews were just damn good so I went ahead and bought Nioh. I definitely do not regret it, it is a great game.

No rush. Just get horizon once you're finished with Nioh. Don't ruin one game just start another on launch. What's the hurry?

I am trying not to let my backlog get the best of me but there are too many damn games coming out in Q1 right now. Nier: Automata and Mass Effect are both looming as well.

Man I am going to play this so slow, just spent an hour doing hunter trials for time, which I paired with some new weapon and ammo types. So some details on this first one
it's three trials one is to knock off ten components off a grazer (a deer) well at first I tried this with arrows and didn't do to well. Later I bought a new bow that came with this arrow that does no damage but instead blows off all componenets on a robot, so using that I easily got gold rank.

The came use log traps to kill robots, wait what log traps?! Omg there are ewok style log traps ready to be shot down on the sides of the cliffs. So I throw a bomb behind the pack of grazers, they start running into the path with all the log traps and I shoot them open and watch logs take them out. Awesome.

The hardest one was using a blast trip wire to kill six robots in under three minutes. This takes prep time so I lined up the paths with some wires , threw a bomb to try to lure them but they went a different way. One time they hit one wire and they all turned around so they didn't run into my other wire. I didn't get gold the first time. The second time I lined up the three paths with wires and decided to lure them down one path, then back down another and that way they go back and forth and hit the wires. Got it, got all golds which gave me a skill point and loads of exp. just messing around and killing so many robots with the trial exp leveled me up like three times.

Cool thing to note, one robot got super injured and was hoping around on only three legs, acted just like a wounded animal that couldn't keep up with the herd. Oh and a watcher would notice my trip wire and go underneath it, it got stupid and tripped it when I engaged it.

I should have a review online on the twentieth but won't share it here since I'm kind of awkward about it but I will share what I can for those that want to know some stuff.

Yes, it was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for posting it!

And please don't feel awkward. Like many have said before me, we're all weird here and would definitely love to see your review.

Wow, this sounds awesome. Those are the kinds of little things I love

Also sounds like challenges require some actual thought and planning to succeed, and it's not just "shoot everything fast"
 
Jesus this area I am in. And I got to my first tallneck (it's been in every preview so this better not be a spoiler) it was pretty fun trying to figure out how to get on it.

This world is so beautiful and detailed.
