Not Forgotten Guerilla Games has created a memorial within Horizon Forbidden West to Lance Reddick, who recently died on March 17, 2023. Reddick voiced Sylens in both the core game and its expansion, Burning Shores. This is as well as appearing in 2017’s Horizon: Zero Dawn. The memorial for Reddick can be found within the Burning Shores expansion on the island where you first meet Seyka. If you start off on the area to the North of that island using a campfire on the beach (near the lava flow), you can fly directly…

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores features a hug that is considered a technical marvel, and one that Guerrilla Games spent a lot of time getting just right. When a trailer for the Burning Shores DLC was released last month, Strange Scaffold studio head Xalavier Nelson Jr. commented on Aloy’s hug saying it “is a technical flex.” The sentiment was echoed by other developers in the Twitter thread, with some praising the animation and some simply stating their awe. In a recent interview IGN, via GamesRadar, Guerrilla…

The Metal Devil is in the details The Horizon franchise has never been afraid to go big and get flashy. With each entry, the machines get bigger and the stakes get higher. By the time Horizon Forbidden West‘s credits roll, Aloy has faced off against massive Tremortusks and clashed with a group of tech geniuses from outer space. With the recently released Burning Shores DLC, the battles are taken to the next level, with the final boss featuring the greatest battle thus far. Despite the franchise’s embrace of all things…

When Horizon Forbidden West, Guerrilla Games' sweeping post-post-apocalyptic epic sci-fi action RPG, came out in February last year, its highs and lows embodied the double-edged sword of video gaming. Its next-gen graphical fidelity, dynamic combat sandbox, and ambitious open world design were all dimmed by the lack of an emotional core. Not for a lack of trying, Forbidden West failed to ground its chaotic action with considered writing. Despite upgraded facial capture technology, fully animated cutscenes, and a crew of…

A World Worth Saving At the end of Horizon Forbidden West, Aloy encounters a dilemma. She can either follow Tilda van der Meer the Far Zenith and escape from a planet that is facing near-certain doom from Nemesis the misanthropic AI. Alternatively, she can remain on Earth and attempt to put up a fight. It should come as a spoiler to nobody that Aloy doesn’t for a second think of abandoning her home planet and all its inhabitants. Despite Aloy’s commitment to her planet, her time on it has been anything but utopian. She…

Horizon Forbidden West‘s latest expansion Burning Shores, available for PS5, continues the theme of lush environments, albeit this time in Los Angeles. While we did see some overarching conclusions to the story of Horizon Forbidden West, it was left at a note where we knew more tales could be told.  While the story of Burning Shores explores the iconic Hollywood sign, a theme park, and other notable locations in Los Angeles, it somehow ties in nicely with the base game’s massive open world and story.Horizon Forbidden…

Reviews aggregate site Metacritic has confirmed it will be implementing “stricter moderation” going forward, after Horizon Forbidden West‘s Burning Shores downloadable content was review bombed due to an LGBTQ+ relationship with the game’s protagonist. Although Burning Shores holds an aggregated Metascore of 82 among critics, its user-submitted reviews score currently sits at 3.9 out of 10. While some of the negative reviews criticise the game’s story and brief length, others have scored the review negatively purely…

I was relieved when I first looked at the small map in Horizon Forbidden West’s new expansion, Burning Shores.Sony’s Horizon series is renowned for its expansive open worlds that are littered with things to do. When you look at the huge maps in both Zero Dawn and Forbidden West, they’re covered with tiny icons pointing you to quests to help your fellow humans, battle with fearsome robot dinosaurs, and even just interesting places to see. You can easily spend dozens upon dozens of hours in each game and not see everything…

via MGM To give you an inkling of just how long the Red Dawn remake was sitting on the shelf, Chris Hemsworth was cast in May 2009, the exact same month he was announced as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Thor. And yet, his debut as the Odinson arrived in theaters a full 18 months before director Dan Bradley’s do-over. In between those two points, the pointless update of the 1984 cult favorite was scuppered by studio MGM’s financial difficulties, while it was forced into a massive overhaul in post-production…
