Lost Horizons Why I sold Horizon Forbidden West. So I’m a lover of the first instalment of Aloy’s journey. I’ve grown to appreciate her journey, her character, and that flaming red hair. So I was excited, as many others, to further pursue her journey. I purchased the game from my local CeX using a voucher and paid only £11.95 as the difference.
I started the journey as soon as I could and I found myself slowly growing to dislike this game, aside from the improved graphics and the stellar side quests. One example is rescuing two workers from a caved-in mine and exploring the underwater sections. The game is just a boring and uninspiring slog. I’ve tried to connect with the characters, with Sylens proving the most interesting and layered of them all. However, the criticism is indeed proven right.
They aren’t very interesting or strong, that you find yourself digging up a reason to care or latch onto them. The story is barebones and the characterisation of Aloy is done poorly. She’s basically a woman on a mission and nothing else deeply matters. The world is gorgeous to look at, but as was the case with the first game it’s a beautiful looking disappointment. Elden Ring has done more miracles to keep my attention further and Forbidden West has done exceptionally less.Shahzaib Sadiq
