The game made a ton of cash, it will live.
The sad part about Horizon is that the first game came out with Breath of the Wild. The second game comes out with Elden Ring. So it got fucked TWICE!
Also, it wasn't very good anyway. Expensive looking, but not very good.
How so? I avoided most of the discourse on the game out of shame as I haven't bothered to continued with Zero Dawn.
The game plays fine and looks amazing. But the story and the characters are weak. Horizon's original premise was great and this follow up simply was disappointing.
It was a mess. The developers mantra basically seemed to be 'do more of that' instead of 'fix that'. The climbing is still as crappy, but there's more of it now. They increased the collection of status effects and the amount of weapons available that have various combinations of status effects (and buffs and strengths), blowing up the weapon pool to an incomprehensible size. Seriously, you'll have 25+ weapons in your inventory, which all consists of either bows or slings. There's so many bloody side-quests that it becomes numbing. And most of the new machines really aren't very fun to fight. The map also sucks and is structured really weirdly. Remember all that lush jungle footage in the marketing of this game? Well, have fun spending 50+ hours in the desert before ever setting foot there.

"Get the box of sandwich bags from the cupboard, BOY."
I actually went and rented an XBox from the local Blockbuster to play it (back when Blockbuster rented consoles, and, y'know, existed). Vivid memories of sitting in front of my 13" CRT television playing it for hours. It didn't really blow my socks off the way it did for others- I mean, Half-Life had been out for three years at that point- but it was still fun and memorable, especially the lead-up to the Flood.
I was primary raising my kids. They didn't do much winter sports and they were finally getting old enough to entertain themselves some around 2007. Halo had been out for over 1/2 a decade. Still, I let them play on the great big 720P 50" Sony DLP while I snuck off to my office to play Halo and Halo 2 on my 19" CRT on the OG Xbox. Great times! Some of the best gaming of my long life.
Hey hey hey! A delicious, fresh, loaf of bread has a ton of charisma!
