Horizon Forbidden West: 10 Best New Gameplay Abilities
1. 'Sunwing' Flying Machine Mount
While Zero Dawn allowed Aloy to start controlling machines and tame several horse-like machines to use as mounts, apparently Forbidden West is going to go a step further!
A confirmed machine in the game known as the Sunwing may be more than just an adversary; by using Aloy's control abilities, you can apparently tame the Sunwing and get yourself a flying mount!
This makes perfect sense given the game's expanded scope, and the fact that Aloy now has the Shieldwing to glide down to the ground. Imagine taking to the skies, taking in the Forbidden West in all its glory and leaping from your Sunwing to glide gracefully down to the ground or shooting from the skies as you engage some of the fearsome new machines you'll come up against!
We imagine this will be a later-in-the-game mechanic. Who knows - the ability may expand to other flying machines too. Or perhaps some underwater ones as well? Please, Guerilla?
