9 Video Games Where You Should AVOID The Story

2. Horizon Forbidden West

Horizon Forbidden West is the best kind of follow-up since it expands on every aspect that made Horizon: Zero Dawn great.

The focus abilities have been fine-tuned, the melee combat system has more variety, and the climbing mechanics is flawless. (I mean, the climbing was probably the only aspect of the previous game that sucked, so any improvement in that department was probably not too hard.)

But the one element this sequel emphasises the most is the exploration. Not only is there a lot more land to cover, you can take to the skies with the new Shieldwing or venture to the bottom of the ocean. And by wearing The Diving Mask, you don't have to worry about running out of oxygen, meaning you can take your time traversing through beautiful coral reefs and mysterious caves.

Even though performing side-quests in the sky and ocean helps you expand your skill tree and unlock new gear, it's worth checking out since it's the easiest way to see how beautiful this world is and how much effort the developers put into every minute detail.
