Again with the sneaking, trapping and waiting. Horizon Zero Dawn features Aloy and her array of traps, weapons and ability to hide in tall grass. The warm feelings I get when taking out a set of enemies through planning is definitely one of those moments. Trapping with Aloy from Åsa Roos on Vimeo.
One of Those Moments – Introducing the Banshee

He's the villain in the narrative arc about the Dominion. I've borrowed the clip from a YouTuber named Chuz and it should start at... Continue Reading →
