Horizon Zero Dawn is an action role-playing video game developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was released for the PlayStation 4 in early 2017. The plot follows Aloy, a hunter in a world overrun by machines, who sets out to uncover her past. The player uses ranged weapons, a spear and stealth to combat mechanised creatures and loot their remains. A skill tree provides the player with new abilities and bonuses. The player can explore the open world to discover side quests.
Horizon Zero Dawn won numerous awards, and critics praised its open world, story, visuals, combat, characterisation, and the performance of voice actress Ashly Burch. The dialogue, melee combat and character models received criticism. It had sold over seven million copies by February 2018, making it one of the best-selling PlayStation 4 games and the bestselling original IP on the PlayStation 4. An expansion, The Frozen Wilds, was released in November 2017.
