Not every great game needs to be a sequel. A third-person, open-world, action/RPG/survival game that is the first new property in over a decade from Killzone developer Guerrilla Games, Horizon centers on the female archer Aloy in a colorful but post-apocalyptic future world that blends nature and technology and the old and the new (think robotic dinosaurs, for example). Terrific reviews were accompanied by strong sales, with the game becoming the best-selling new IP of all time on the PS4.
