Cor! Look at those swaying aquatic plants as you dive underwater, ready to hide from mechanical foes in "stealth kelp" (yes, that’s actually what it’s called)! Look at the neon lights that form the cyber-ghost of Las Vegas above the post-apocalyptic dunes! Look at the lush grass as you stoop down to slowly pick up more sticks (okay, you can turn this off)! Horizon: Forbidden West is a technical tour de force for Guerilla Games and its proprietary Decima Engine. But, while the tech has certainly evolved, little else has, making for a disappointing sequel in a series that was once packed with promise.
