    In a far future where colossal machines roam and rule the Earth, pockets of humanity survive in unique tribes among the lush, overgrown ruins of our long-lost civilization.

    Take up bow and spear as Aloy, a young machine hunter and outcast of her tribe, as she discovers her origins, the truth of this mysterious world, and her own destiny to save it from impending doom.

    On her journey, Aloy will come across unique tribes, lively settlements, and compelling characters and companions. But this open world is also teeming with wildlife and danger. Awe-inspiring yet deadly hostile machines patrol the majestic landscape, corrupted by an unknown force.

    Horizon Zero Dawn is a multi-award-winning action role-playing game and this Remastered Edition brings to life the beloved wilds of Aloy’s world in even higher fidelity with the power and potential of the PlayStation 5 console.

    Horizon Zero Dawn has aged quite gracefully, and while the remastered release might feel unnecessary to some, thanks to the boost in visual fidelity, it’s the definitive way to play the game.

    Sure, it might look a little better than it did before, but when we’re talking about a fairly recent game that was already widely praised for how beautiful it looked, unless you’re pushing it to its maximum settings, you probably won’t notice a huge difference. But if this remastered version is what it takes to get more people playing a modern classic, then so be it – Horizon Zero Dawn is a great game, and this remaster just reinforces that every step of the way.

    The Open World is sometimes formulaic, but never loses its charm due to the gripping story and stunning graphics of the Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster.

    Overall, the Horizon: Zero Dawn Remaster is the kind of bonus that didn't really need to be there. Visually, the title has been brought into the present day, but not everything has been improved. It's a shame, perhaps, that gameplay elements or expanded content aren't also improved to give original players more incentive to upgrade.

    A solid remaster that skillfully and respectfully enhances nearly every visual element of the original game. Whether it was truly necessary remains up for debate, but this is no cheap cash grab. Horizon Zero Dawn: Remastered is a well-crafted effort through and through.
