10 Open-World Video Games You Must Play Before You Die
7. Horizon: Zero Dawn
Want a game that truly gives you a reason to explore its world? That's Horizon.
The huge amount of variety in each area of Horizon is impressive to say the least, and even more so when it's viewed from the top of a tallneck.
Every area of Horizon feels like it has been meticulously crafted to make sure that the player is actually exploring it for a reason. Nothing feels artificial about it, which is kind of crazy when you consider the main enemies of the game.
Speaking of which, the robots that have taken over Earth are also a pretty big part of why Horizon is such a fun world to explore. Everywhere you go in the game world, you're almost always going to see a new type of enemy to encounter, each with their own attack patterns and behaviours.
It gives a reason for exploring the world beyond seeing a world that's amazingly crafted.
