Horizon Forbidden West – Legendary Armor Statistic and Upgrade Guides

If there’s one thing I do when I play a game (besides trying to relax and enjoy myself), it’s look up information. I get curious or stuck, and I find myself turning to the internet for answers. There are a lot of good guides out there that are super helpful, but what I don’t see are an abundance of simple and clean visual guides that lay out all the information in one place.

I’ve finished playing Horizon: Forbidden West and I have to say that Aloy has to be one of my favorite female protagonists in video games. She’s so clever, resilient, and that hair is a work of art! Since Horizon: Zero Dawn, I have been fascinated with this world Guerrilla has created and cannot wait for more!

I’ve created statistic and upgrade guides for all of Aloy’s Legendary Armor! These visual or infographic guides are separated by each armor. Each armor page details its resistances, skills, weave bonuses and supplies needed for leveling it up!

Please let me know if you would like me to work on a guide for the other collectibles within Horizon: Forbidden West or if there are any games you would like to see visual information or guides for in the future! I love helping people, discussing games and organizing information!

Horizon: Forbidden West – Bag Upgrades

I’ve created upgrade guides for all of Aloy’s baggage! These visual or infographic guides are separated into ammunition holster and quivers, ammunition satchels, and resource pouches. Each bag details what is needed to level it up, and what statistics leveling it up will increase!

Horizon Zero Dawn Microreview

Horizon Zero Dawn Microreview – 19/20!

Horizon Zero Dawn is an action role-playing video game developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Set in the distant future, the humans of earth have regressed to primitive tribal societies while large robotic creatures (whose characteristics are inspired by animals and dinosaurs we are familiar with) dominate the earth. These machines peacefully coexisted with humans until a phenomenon of unknown origin turned the existing machines aggressive towards humans and larger more dangerous species to appear. Armed with a variety of ranged weapons, a spear and other stealth tactics to combat humans and mechanized creatures, the player controls a young warrior named Aloy, as she sets out to discover the truth of her origin.

I love how refreshingly unique the plot of this game is; I don’t believe I’ve played anything quite like it. The gameplay mechanics are pretty standard, with favor to the stealthy (that’s me). I reduced the game’s score by one point due to my frustration with the music that plays on the menu screens. After awhile I found myself muting the television whenever I needed to spend any amount time on the menu screens, which are used often for buying (items cannot be bought in stacks), selling, crafting, leveling up, examining the quests, the map and so on. This is only a minor grievance though when you compare it to the enjoyability of the game as a whole.
