Reach for the Stars
Can Aloy find a GAIA backup and save earth?...
The wait is finally over! Horizon Forbidden West is here and Jaa & Christina are both neck deep in it. In this episode, we don’t hop directly into the story. Instead, we take some time to talk about the game, its systems, and differences from Horizon Zero Dawn. There is a ton to talk about, so this episode is pretty hefty.
In this episode:
– Fidelity vs Performance Mode
– Differences in Difficulty
– New Climbing Mechanics
– Improvements to the Focus
– Healing Changes
– Changes to Combat (both Humans and Machines)
– Humans have Armor now!
– Carefully obtaining machines parts
– New mounts!
– Crafting system changes
– New Skill System
– New and changed weapons.
