Zero Punctuation Season 11 Episode 10 Horizon Zero Dawn

Zero Punctuation is a no-holds-barred video game review show hosted by Yahtzee Croshaw. In this episode, Yahtzee takes on Horizon Zero Dawn.

Starting off, Yahtzee notes that he has been eagerly anticipating Horizon Zero Dawn for quite some time. He was hooked by the game's premise - a post-apocalyptic world overrun by robotic beasts, and the young hunter, Aloy, who seeks to uncover the mystery of her past.

In terms of gameplay, Yahtzee notes that Horizon Zero Dawn offers a vast and beautiful open world to explore. However, he finds the game's combat system to be a bit too easy, noting that players can often take down the robotic beasts with relative ease.

Yahtzee does praise the game's crafting and skill tree systems, which allow players to customize Aloy's abilities and weapons. He also enjoys the game's emphasis on stealth and strategy - noting that taking down a beast undetected can be incredibly satisfying.

However, Yahtzee does have some issues with the game's story and characters. He notes that while the game's world-building is impressive, the actual main questline feels a bit lackluster. He also finds some of the supporting characters to be a bit one-dimensional, though he does have praise for Aloy's character development over the course of the game.

Overall, Yahtzee concludes that Horizon Zero Dawn is a strong game with a lot to offer. He notes that while it may not be the best game in any one category (such as combat or story), it is a well-rounded and enjoyable experience that is worth playing.
