Discovering this game in 2024. For me vegetation makes a game. I love real life nature and the nature you have created just make the world feel so inviting . I just spend time in game: wandering enjoying the light and views. Normally I look for mods to make the vegetation better in games, but certainly not necessary in Horizon. All the more impressive that it still holds up today in a high end PC. Thank you.
Just recently got round to playing this game. RDR2 is the the most impressive game visually I've ever seen, but just beneath that is horizon zero dawn and God of war. What's more impressive though that Horizon zero dawn is 3 years old and blew me away when I played it recently . The foliage and lighting are incredible still.
Dd Couldn’t agree more, there are more graphically impressive or photo-realistic games out there - especially on PC - but this is as close to perfection stylistically and in terms of ‘feeling alive’ as you can get with a 3 year old game running on rather restricted 7 year-old hardware... the power of optimization, I guess.

Sandro Guzelj I agree but I think the reason why it didn’t was why it was so good. This was Gorrilas first attempt at an open world game that knocked it out of the park. But because it was their first, and the first of the franchise in the series, the advertising and knowledge base of the game was very undercut in comparison to God of War, RDR2 and other games where the franchise, brand, and play style was an already established meme.

One major flaw with Horizons vegetation is that it didn't move when the player walked though it. Except the tall red grass.
