Horizon Forbidden West (or Zero Dawn)
Let’s say you don’t want to play Assassin’s Creed before playing Assassin’s Creed. What then? Well, if you still want the massive open world that pairs stealth with action-RPG gameplay, few compare to Horizon Forbidden West. The game allows you to approach situations in various ways, either hiding and watching your enemy’s path or outright attacking with wild swings and combos. But more importantly, in this case, is the story. Following Horizon Zero Dawn, Forbidden West tells the tale of Aloy and her journey through a post-apocalypse United States in search of a solution to an existential crisis. It’s enthralling, edge-of-your-seat stuff! And, if you haven’t yet played the first one, it recently received a remaster available on PS5 and PC.
