Aloy

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #aloy #hfw photomode #parked her right at a campfire #that had some interesting light effects #so i played around with photo mode a little to see if i can make something out of it #but nothing really came up aside from these b/w shots

Red Light

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #hfw burning shores #hfw photomode #have some shots from my favourite category #which is face-off #(and then getting my butt kicked because i paid more attention to positioning than actually fighting)

Cloudpart

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #hfw burning shores #hfw photomode #some sneaky waterwings in here #i find they're a tiny bit more fun to fly than the sunwing #at least when it comes to dives #their woosh and the controller rumble really make it worth it #however the sunwing feels kinda lighter? #more agile? #makes for more fun flights when it's long distances

Beaches

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #hfw burning shores #hfw photomode #high time i dumped a few of my bs shots here too #temporarily my unsorted pics were below 1k #but alas. #i played for a couple of hours one afternoon #and suddenly had almost 1.1k again #i should just go and write more fanfic instead #at least that doesn't take up as much space on my hard drive

River's run

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #hfw burning shores #hfw photomode #i really enjoyed following this particular river down to the sea on the water- and/or sunwing #just so pleasant to look at #and even though there's a bunch of machines waiting to get really worked up about your presence somewhere in the middle #it's still super nice and relaxing

First Impressions

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #hfw photomode #sometimes i go looking for black boxes #and sometimes i go looking for them on the isle of spires #which leads dangerously close to a familiar spot #which then ends up with me retracing aloy's steps from the state of play preview #that was what #may 2021? #so it's approaching three years since then #time flies #at least erend's eyebrows found back to him between then and release

Cinnabar Sands

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #hfw photomode #during my first playthrough i hated this area #couldn't solve the tallneck puzzle #because i kept overlooking some climbing handholds on the satellite dishes #and the skydrifters didn't help either #i've made my peace with it since then but still #usually i just pass through

Face to Face

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #hfw photomode #forget fighting with arrows #aloy's now punching them in the air

Beach Episode

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #hfw photomode #not pictured: the remaining 30 seconds to disaster #because dear dreadwing over there on the horus arm #didn't nap forever #apologies to all the lobsters that got caught up in the ensuing fray

Machine-made

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #hfw photomode #i'd be lying if i said i was sure which cauldron this is #i think it's chi? #it would fit the piles on the second-to-last one #but i can't remember those pillars #or anything else #however all the pics that follow these are coastal ones #so i guess it could be right

Legacy, pt. 3

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #hfw photomode #less egypt #more underground survival bunker #down here you can almost remember all the zero dawn facilities #speaking of which #we never found out what happened to elysium and whatever else was there holding out #probably the same as the bunker in the embrace but y'know #maybe in the next one?

Legacy, pt. 2

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #hfw photomode #of course he put some nice lil corruptors in there #and of course they were just chilling for centuries #sth sth security system #peacekeepers #and the like #there was something cathartic in fighting them in lis' gear though

Legacy

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #hfw photomode #god. this quest. #as many gripes as i have with this game #this quest is not among them #it had so much of what i loved about zero dawn so much #the atmosphere was unparalleled #a pure descent into ted's madness #what more do you want
