  • The plot revolves around Aloy, a hunter and archer living in a world overrun by robots. Having been cloistered her whole life, she sets out to discover the dangers that kept her sheltered. The character makes use of ranged, melee weapons and stealth tactics to combat the mechanised creatures, whose remains can also be looted for resources. A skill tree facilitates gameplay improvements. The game features an open world environment for Aloy to explore, divided into tribes that hold side quests to undertake while the main story guides her throughout the whole world.

    About Video Game Sophistry:
    Video Game Sophistry is an opportunity to celebrate the creators and the artistry found in Video Games. I believe that Games are the most effective medium from experiencing another world, and another way to live. Expect to see a series of videos showcasing the narratives hidden in every game, interviews with game developers, along with our bench mark weekly podcast, Dialogue Wheel.
    Andy Borkowski started this program nearly 10 years ago and, in that time, it has changed from a simple CZcams show, to a radio show, a tv show and now once again a CZcams destination. Welcome to VGS.

    it's worth noting that the fire wire traps insta kill certain, really hard animals like the saw tooth, duh to the fact he has a blaze canister hidden under his chest, if he walks over that blaze wire it ignights it and blows him to kingdom come

      I can do the same with fire arrows. In fact all I use is the spear and bows and arrows. I use the Trip caster once and then sell it. For me I get more enjoyment out of the game just using the spear and bows and arrows. The key is to build those bows into strong weapons.

    Honestly the most important thing in Horizon is to plan out everything. Study the prey and set enough traps to make the Russians in WWII think you´re being excessive and keep calm. Most of the times that I´ve seen "bad" players play Horizon they just don´t take the time to study the prey or just lose all that they´ve learned the moment they get into combat. Also they usually don´t reflect over what they could have done differently after a hard fight. Like "Hmm, that snapmaw nearly killed me with his ice breath. What can I do to counter that next time?"

    Tip: if you’re fighting the Rockbreaker in the quarry, sneak around with a Carja tripcaster and place a TON of explosive tripcasts, probably the max, and shoot an arrow in the middle of the wire, the rockbreaker will dig towards the arrow to check it out and will sure face at the tripcast, exploding, and dying instantly, unless you don’t kill it, In which case, repeat the steps listed.
    Also, If you shoot an arrow at a wall or the floor or something near a machine, they will go towards were the arrow landed rather than towards Aloy.

    One thing worth noting about the Whistle is that it will only ever attract a single enemy at a time. Pretty unrealistic but handy nonetheless. Certainly very different from Breath of the Wild where any sound will alert every single enemy in the vicinity.

    I actually used the Light Attack to loot all the Blaze Canisters off all the dead Grazers during the Proving before moving on, since they are all automatically looted once you loot a single one to get your trophy. And no worries, you can't lose the Proving so you can take as much time as you want. I looted every one of their canisters and their horns by knocking them all off as they laid on the ground dead. There is of course no reason to do this normally but during the Proving it's handy since you can't loot them otherwise.

    Thank you very much for the great video. My question might sound a little weird (I just recently bought the game) but how do you shoot without walking? Everytime I shoot, she starts walking towards the machine. Is there a trick to standing still or is it impossible?

    I always love stealth and snipe combat.. never used some of the weapons,, I use some trip wire only in Cauldron bosses, Powershot for sniping and hunter for fire and close combat... didn't bother getting the lodge versions but did get all the frozen wild weapons...
