Welcome to the world of Horizon! If you love story-driven games, this one is a must-play on the list.

[@Apothicdecay]

Yayayay!!!

[@martinjrgensen8234]

The world, the plot, the characters ALOY. I adore these games. The music is gorg. And the world building and writing is peak

[@Apothicdecay]

I'm SO EXCITED !!!!

[@markotark]

Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West are some of my all time favourite games. Along withh SOMA, Horizon ZD might have the best narrative. Can’t wait to see you experience some of the things this game has to offer…

[@Whovs_]

So glad to see you enjoying this! Can't wait to see more.

[@Pannekoek.]

I know it is easy to say kids are mean, but in reality it is the adults who teach kids to fear or push away the ones who are "other"

[@Apothicdecay]

I couldn't agree more. It adds so much more complexity to the world creation. Ugh. It's so good so far.

[@TheHarmpo]

THIS IS ME YELLING AT YOU BECCA! YOU'RE COOL AS HELL AND I APPRECIATE YOU!

[@Apothicdecay]

LOVE YOU SM HARM

[@TheHarmpo]

@Apothicdecay 💚💚💚 love u

[@frank13wontRELAX]

ALOYYYYY. Absolutely stoked for this playthrough.

[@Apothicdecay]

YOOO FRANKIE LETS GOOOO

[@AdaDare]

You are having fun and is fun to watch too, worth spending a bit of time checking out the menu options just to get familiar with what you can do with the things you enjoy collecting. Looking forward to next installment.

[@Apothicdecay]

Thank you, I'll give it a good look over!!

[@peterzeineke6060]

Hi, I just found your channel and as a huge fan of both Horizon games I love watching people playing them for the first time. I already enjoyed your first reactions and look forward to seeing your progress in the game and all above all the twists and surprises of this fantastc story. So I will try to catch up in your journey and wish you so much fun with it.

[@Apothicdecay]

Excited to have you along the journy peter!!!

[@IcarusDrowning-gz8se]

It's funny how the machines can hear and respond to the palm-sized rock Aloy throws, but completely failed to react to Rost's considerable weight hitting the ground when he jumped down from the ledge.

[@CatGerbil]

Such a beautiful game ❤I loved all the side quests, thank you for a wonderful video 😊

[@trikeabout]

Ooh, I love a Horizon blind playthrough, and "so she's a fish?" got you a sub - rofl! You're a bit further in by now (and I'll catch up), but when you get tired of picking up ridgewood and health plants, there's an autopickup option you can enable in Settings. And no, there's no quicksaving, but it autosaves often enough, especially during missions that it's rarely annoying. Enjoy!

[@Torawakamaru]

Oooh, a new blind playthrough of H:ZD - will have that thank you. I think one of the best compliments one can give a game is to say "I wish I could play it for the first time again," and this game pretty much defines that sentiment for me. One question (and I haven't started watching the video proper yet, so apologies if you mention this) - how much do you appreciate/dislike tips, suggestions, or mechanics advice (obviously no story spoilers; that would defeat the purpose of watching you play blind)? OK, adding some edits after watching: That was some _fine_ shooting going on there; well bloody done. Also, your instinct to cut and run like hell is _on point_. One (and only one) mechanic thing I'll tell you before my question above is answered, relating to 1:29:25 - when you're on a multi-level climb, you can use 'down' to drop down _except_ for the last level to the ground; then it will only respond to the crouch/drop-to-ledge command (`C` by default). This makes no sense whatsoever and infuriates me no end. It's now nearly midnight here, and I'm off to watch episode 2 :D

[@PaulGuy]

Just because lots of people miss it (and the game doesn't do a great job telling you), there are a few things in the opening kid level you can't get at the time, so you need to come back later as an adult if you want to get everything. It's also one of the few places you can find rats for crafting. Looking forward to following a fresh playthrough!

[@Apothicdecay]

I had a thought about returning to the og area but didn't. Maybe I can go back a bit later? 🤔

[@shinyhappyrem8728]

@@Apothicdecay : yes.

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

Glad to see someone else experiencing this game

[@antonfowler6582]

You are in for a treat . Fun fact the voice actress for aloy also plays tiny tina . Chloe from life is strange and mel in last of us part 2 . Ashley burch such a talented actress

[@MetastaticMaladies]

I love this game so much! I had such a great time playing it and doing everything I could. I really love this world and enjoyed discovering what made it the way it was and how Aloy came to be and her journey. It’s just great story telling and wonderful gameplay. Glad to see people still discovering it, I know you will love it the more you play and discover/learn!

[@teamiq574]

Had to tap in to send love and light cuz... have a great day🙌

[@roberthall5580]

Your in for a good one... Story for this game not to be messed with... It's so good

[@nyxyn3109]

lure call while in bushes to silent strike, will very much be your best friend in this game. concentration is also a must.

[@notthemusewere]

Silent Strike is the killer ap. Lure is...OP. I've made it a habit never to get it. But I think she's still figuring out that stealth works best in red grass -- I keep seeing her crouching in the open and being surprised they still see her.

[@nyxyn3109]

@@notthemusewere it's OP as hell but good for a new player unfamiliar with the game, one just starting out or anyone wanting a slightly more casual playthrough without turning down the actual difficulty. :D

[@pocketlint440]

So good at stealth games, but no bricks to throw this time. Edit to add: Rost is still my favorite game dad (or papa).

[@Ray-ko1lm]

Love the intro to this game. I listen to Aloy’s theme a lot actually. It gets me pumped.

[@seannorth6968]

Worth the watch if only for your joy at realising there are multichoice part & crafting is involved 🤘🤘 you're in for an outstanding game full to the brim with intrigue , heartache & adventure sending good vibes & much appreciation for all the joyful experience we all feel when spending any time with you Becca 🙏💖🌻🐝

[@Apothicdecay]

I'm so glad you're enjoying it so far sean!!!!

[@notthemusewere]

Okay....31:00 alone made watching the video worth it.

[@Pannekoek.]

I don't mind you doing the side quests at all. This game has some of the most awesome side quest in video games.

[@JeffMeyers-zm2lh]

There is quick saving at a fire pit. and you can do a normal save at fire pit as well.

[@RoelLira]

KZbin showed me your channel, greetings 👋🙂

[@Apothicdecay]

Hello!! Thanks for checking out the video 🥹🙂‍↕️

[@ChibiHoshiDragon]

The focus is your friend. It shows you the weak spots and other info on the machines. Aloy has a spear for melee, so you don't just have the bow. (Look in inventory to see your weapons) If you really prefer the long range weapons, one of the best early strats is to find high ground that is barely out of reach of their weapons and use it to shoot from (especially when you have the sharpshooter bow or mod a regular one.

[@TheBefbo]

Oh man if you're already enjoying it this much I think you're going to have a really good time with this game. The story in this and its sequel are so great!

[@Apothicdecay]

This makes me super excited to continue!

[@elprogoodbg5872]

New here cant wait to go on this journey with you

[@pemberliegh]

Yeah I watched a friend play some withcher 3 and they are def cut from the same cloth. If you like worldbuilding and an open world sandbox, this game is for you! And the best way to play is doing all the side quests as you find them, imo. All the sidequestssssss!!! They do all kinda have level suggestions that are pretty good indicators. Except the Frozen Wilds DLC. I think the recommended level for starting that feels a bit underpowered. Anyway, I like to think this is who Aloy is; sure sure she's got stuff to do, but she can't turn her back on people in need... The world is massive and very worth exploring, even if it's taking off the main quest line. 10/10

[@vampearson001]

Dynamic hud will fade in and out, lure and silent kill most effective traits early

[@Eclipses915]

I got to replay this game played before the remastered

[@LifeWayfarer-AdventureSeer]

I have played more than 200 hours of that game (played all 4 sections several times). Never got tired of it. And I can't find any substitute. Am I addicted??😊

[@MarioMarioD80]

these messages will hit much harder once you know what zero dawn is and what they were doing in those ruins

[@Apothicdecay]

Oh gosh 😥

[@mat_has_a_hat]

YESSSS. IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS JOURNEY!

[@Apothicdecay]

YEAH MAT, IM DOING IT FOR YOU!!!

[@visiblepixels4632]

I believe if you “highlight track/path” while in scan mode, that path will remain visible when you leave scan mode. Have fun.

[@davejohncole]

You need to spend a little time methodically traversing the menu options. In particular look at each machine in your catalogue and think about tactics you might be able to use in taking them down. Edit: you keep calling them seekers... Scan one again and look at the on-screen text.

[@punishedfist]

Aw yay. The game has a lot of cool aspects to it imo, especially the unique enemy types and the idea or gradually knocking off parts/armour.

[@Apothicdecay]

I did find that super super cool!

[@0x8badbeef]

There's lots of pretty games. But this one for me has the best animation.

[@manduulkhaan4824]

When opening scene started, i realized i am going to play piece of art. This game is masterpiece, after you finished zero dawn you need to play forbidden west. HORIZON Is masterpiece, one of the best games. Welcome to Horizon world🤚

[@Apothicdecay]

I'm so glad to be in the horizon world!! Here's to our next adventure!

[@deadlyjeff9106]

Oh man I hope you love this game. I love this game. This is my favorite game serise. I love forbidden west even more I hope you play it afterwards

[@Apothicdecay]

Oh for sure it's on my list after this one. I haven't even beat it yet I'm in very deep!!

[@brellnob]

Sometimes you have to scan the object not the icon.

[@Mekazas]

love your style and personality, play the way you want to play, im gonna watch!

[@GefionMerbusch]

If you haven't played any further and lore is important to you, talk to all people who are blue in the focus scan and have a name, even if the quest doesn't require it. For example, you can talk to Teersa before the proving. for additional lore. Aloy will then also tell you how old she is. Edit: It seems you played further according to your last words.

[@Apothicdecay]

Oh I needed this tip! Thank you!!!

[@wingfromny3556]

They're not trying to sweep the leg, so jumping to avoid attacks isn't so effective. Better to dodge roll, which is 'circle' on a PS controller, but I don't know what key on PC. Take a closer look at what you can do in the crafting menu, it will help with your inventory space. Try to get used to using the focus more, like when you encounter new machines or look for loot (especially indoors). You may have missed the text on screen, but the widower cripple man did buff your spear right after you talked to him. You should definitely do as many side missions as you like, to get the most out of this world.

[@eduart6778]

I always say the same, i love you'r voice

[@dawg897]

in the OG every character looked more Plastic. now they look more normal. lol

[@Apothicdecay]

Super worth the 10 dollaroonies

[@Jon_from_LI]

The Horizon games, especially now that HZD has been remastered for the PS5, are SYSTEM SELLERS. They are essential for the current console. No one can change my mind on that one.

[@gaara_of_the_desert1118]

Seeing blind reactions to the opening section is my 2nd favorite part of any HZD playthrough super disappointed.

[@tyler69]

If you think the first game is pretty wait until you reach the second game it's even more pretty

[@Apothicdecay]

NO WAY

[@augustusallen454]

Go back to the cave with adult Aloy…you’ll be able to get into those areas

[@DarrenLong-eb6vs]

Hi . Make sure you kill and collect animals. You have to trade them in the game. Hope that helps 😊

[@Apothicdecay]

😔 I don't know if I can do that tho

[@Apothicdecay]

Update; I've become a monster

[@ThorbjrnPrytz]

If only our cellphones could have the battery life of the Focus.....

[@ПережареныйПельмень-е2з]

The second part is undoubtedly more beautiful. But "Zero Dawn" is still better. Lore is great here, and the game encourages exploration.

[@Danileith123]

True, but the second isn't as good simply because the first is a masterpiece. The second still very good. Better than most.

[@Apothicdecay]

I looove exploring!

[@ThorbjrnPrytz]

Yes.. Running around, aggroing all machines in the area is not the recommended solution!

[@dhamon45]

Love these games, but after a while I realized how strange it is that there was no linguistic drift between the old world and the tribal societies of the modern world.

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

No twitch chat is good

[@Apothicdecay]

Me and you against the horizon!

[@TheOne214]

Yes the Remaster does look better it is suppose to but the original still holds up pretty well if you are new person to this series than yes you should play the remastered version.

[@mrg0th1er83]

The story in the first one (this one) is better than the sequel. But the game play is a bit improved in the second one.

[@CSMHD]

playing same game right now !! -remastered, 1st playthrough

[@Danileith123]

The only thing annoying about finding good lets plays, as opposed to streams which... Not a fan, is how lloooong it will take to start getting a notion of what happened to the world.

you should try to not move the camera every single time and so fast, i know is kind of a tic for some gamers, but totally unnecesary 😅, also kind of give motion sickness to watch 🤔😅
