10 Video Game Side Missions That MASSIVELY Change The Main Story

10. Horizon: Zero Dawn - Newfound Allies

It’s been three years now since Guerrilla Games released Horizon Zero Dawn. Set within an open-world, you played as Aloy, a Nora Tribe outcast that begins investigating her mysterious past and its become one of the PS4’s best-selling titles.

It’s a world filled with side missions, introducing you to many interesting characters that you’ll befriend upon completion. However, upon reaching the final mission, The Looming Shadow, your work on these side missions determine how the battle unfolds.

Aloy will always be accompanied by some friends but depending on which side missions you completed (if not all of them), you’ll find up to eight additional allies joining you, returning the favour in this crucial moment.

There aren’t any alternative endings obtained for completing them all but rather, it simply builds upon this final mission and goes beyond the usual bonuses, paying off the investment players have put into helping the people in this world.
