Horizon: Zero Dawn has obviously been a big deal for PlayStation, but it's perhaps easy to overlook just how important the release is for Holland as well. Guerrilla Games is far and away the largest studio in the Netherlands, and not only does the PlayStation 4 exclusive's critical and commercial success reflect well on the company, but...
News Horizon: Zero Dawn 2 Will Likely Have Way, Way More Machines
And will enhance your bond with Aloy
Guerrilla Games seems pretty open that more Horizon: Zero Dawn is on the way, and while it sounds like an expansion pack is in the works, it's also been chatting with Game Informer about a full-blown sequel.

Beaded brilliance
Remember that gorgeous side-scrolling Horizon: Zero Dawn demake that we posted about a few days ago? Well, now hama bead extraordinaire Dan Silver has transformed it into a glorious work of pixel art hobbycraft. Incredible, right? This isn't the first piece of pixel art that Dan's brought to life using beads, and you can check out...
News Horizon: Zero Dawn Still Looks Amazing in Pixel Art
Focus on this
Horizon: Zero Dawn is hands-down one of the best looking video games ever released, but what if it opted for an almost Game Boy Advance-esque aesthetic? That's what this mock-up by Japanese artist Toyaken21 aims to illustrate – and it's got us drooling over some kind of side-scroller starring Aloy as a result. What do you reckon?...

News Horizon: Zero Dawn Accused of Cultural Appropriation
Guerrilla's latest criticised
Horizon: Zero Dawn is one of the most progressive games that we've played in some time. We're not going to fawn over it for that reason alone – it also happens to be a brilliant adventure built around some incredibly compelling fiction – but its representation of genders, sexuality, and race is second to none as far...
News The Love Between The Witcher 3 and Horizon: Zero Dawn Continues
Guerrilla Games releases its own artwork
Awww, isn't this just lovely?

Soapbox Why We Need Horizon: Zero Dawn DLC
Sammy reckons Guerrilla's RPG is ripe for expansion
Well, this is awkward, isn't it? As gaming enthusiasts we collectively rail on companies for Season Passes and day one downloadable content – and rightly so. But if you'll indulge me for just a few minutes, I'm going to be a complete and utter hypocrite, because I kinda want Horizon: Zero Dawn...

News PlayStation Congratulates Nintendo on Zelda Success
Claims it's an "amazing time for gaming"

News The Witcher 3 Developer Congratulates Horizon: Zero Dawn with Heartwarming Artwork
High five
As far as we're concerned, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Horizon: Zero Dawn are two of the best open world titles on the market. Both of them offer settings that are just begging to be explored and are dripping with detail - the kind of virtual worlds that suck you in and refuse to spit you back out. Both games have rightfully been praised...
News Horizon: Zero Dawn Has One Helluva Training Montage
Rocky Bal-brilliant
We can pinpoint the exact moment we fell in love with Horizon: Zero Dawn: the training montage. The game very quickly goes all The Hunger Games on your ass, and you're rewarded with this brilliant cut-scene as Aloy readies herself for The Proving – a kind of coming of age event that's celebrated annually in Nora lore. If you...
Talking Point Are You Enjoying Horizon: Zero Dawn on PS4?
