Pros
Pro The environment is very impressive
Horizon Zero Dawn is a game that took the word "hunting" to heart and created a gorgeous tapestry of an environment for you to work with.
The colors are very vivid. They range from bright and alive, like the lush forests you'll find yourself in, to dreary and hopeless mountain ranges covered in snow.
It certainly feels alive and will be a great help in immersing you further in the game.
Pro The combat is incredible
Horizon Zero Dawn features gameplay that's pretty much entirely about combat. Your most commonly used weapons are your spear and bow, but you have access to some very nice support weapons, such as the tripcaster that can set up tripwires between trees.
Essentially, the game's combat engine is about reading patterns, watching for indications from your enemies, and making sure you don't take a colossal hit.
