HZD

The Spirit Of Machines

by

Tonight I found a village where the humans and machines were peaceful towards one another… for awhile anyway.

Most areas of the game have machines that will make no bones about attack you, unless of course you hack them yourself. Of course it wasn’t meant to last, and I ended up having to kill the once friendly machines. The more I play this the more I wonder what plunged civilization into a second stone-age. Somehow I get the feeling a billionaire manchild might possibly have something to do with it, but it’ll be several play sessions before I figure it out methinks.

Back On The Horizon

by

Today I craved cinematic adventure, so I enjoyed some HZD on the comfort of a couch and controller. Took care of a couple corrupted areas, watched corrupted machines rip apart some bandits and even did an override on a cauldron’s core! I’ve mainly been playing on Keyboard and Mouse, so it did take some dialing in with the Steam Controller, but once I worked the config to my liking it wasn’t much different than playing desktop style. I’ve become quite proficient at taking down the watchers, and even learned how to override a few new machines in the process.

It’s still going to be a long way before I finish this one, so I don’t feel too bad about binge playing it today. I wish there were more people I could talk about this game with at work… either they haven’t gotten around to playing it, or they just found it all to be boring. To each their own… For me it’s like a mix of Modern Tomb Raider and MGSV, it’s a good mix.

All-Mother Be Praised

Another evening of victory! Took care of the last camp, then killed A LOT of cultists and a few machines. I’m currently on my way to clean up a couple areas that are being plagued by corrupted machines. Kinda wish I could continue playing, found so many things to discover before calling it a night. Oh well, some other time… Nevertheless it was a nice escape.

Climbed My First Tallneck!

by

My entire weekend may have been shrouded in rain, but as usually I made the most of it. It’s been a weekend of breakfast tostadas, PJ’s, some video creativity, and an assortment of entertainment to choose from. I ended the last bit of the evening with some Horizon Zero Dawn, and climbed my first Tallneck! Also killed a couple of Sawtooths and rescued a couple fellow Braves. Glad to see that we’ll be getting the sequel on PC! I’m sure by the time I finally finish HZD it’ll be at a good price! There’s already plenty to do in HZD to keep me tied over, along with the other things in my backlog needing to be completed. That said, I’ll probably play a different game tomorrow… I kinda want to go back to the Tomb Raider Remasters to get an achievement or two, maybe even snap some fun photo mode stuff.
