"Horizon Zero Dawn" is creating a buzz with its futuristic and post-apocalyptic world. It is an open world game that let's players travel to a time of mystery and lore.

This is an action role-playing game that is exclusively available on PlayStation 4. It has stunning visual effects that allow you to see through the eyes of Aloy.

According to Daily News, Aloy can easily grab player's attention with her "Lara Croft" like attitude. This is despite the fact that people treat her as an outcast.

"Horizon Zero Dawn" extends beyond the realm of its storyline. Like most open world games, this game has an optional game.

Players would have to defeat dinosaur-robot-like creatures. Fighting this creature allows its players to revel in the unique life of Aloy.

Aloy uses a traditional bow and arrow to defend herself against her enemies. She also has a Bluetooth-headset-style device that can show her enemies' weaknesses. This allows players to develop their own unique strategy to defend their selves.

Aside from this, she also has a Ropecaster that can capture creatures and tie them down. She also has a Tripcaster that allows her to set traps on her enemies.

This game is getting a lot of attention for its political themes and feministic approach to gaming. It does this without looking forced and with a great level of maturity.

Game Spot reported that "Horizon Zero Dawn" is expected to sell 6 million copies this year. Superdata, the game's developer, believes that total sales will reach up to 8 million units close to "Uncharted 4" and "Metal Gear Solid V."

Speaking of "Uncharted 4," its developers Naughty Boy just received the Outstanding Achievement in Video Game Writing Award from the Writer's Guild of America. Auto World News reported that this game defeated "Call of Duty" for the award.

Going back to "Horizon Zero Dawn," Superdata CEO Joost van Dreunen explained that the great reviews they received from critics helped them boost their sales. He explained that this will help boost Sony's sales that recently slowed down. The game will be available in store on February 28.
