Horizon Forbidden West: 9 Things We Want To See
4. World-Altering Choices
Choices were extremely limited in Horizon Zero Dawn, but they were there. The few dialogue options offered did help add to the immersion but in the long run, offered little in the way of changing how the story played out.
With an abundance of single-player story driven games coming to the Playstation 5, Horizon needs to stand out. Expanding and improving upon these dialogue choices to affect the world that Aloy inhabits would certainly help the game stand above its competition.
These kinds of game-changing choices seem to have dwindled in recent years and you only need to look at something like The Mass Effect Trilogy to see that the desire is there.
We don’t know where the future stands with the Horizon series, whether there will even be more games after Forbidden West. But having a story unique to each player woven throughout multiple games (or even just the one, for that matter) would allow the sequel to truly reach new heights.
