New Video! You Should Still Care About Horizon Forbidden West (Burning Shores Review) (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

Just letting you know that the new video is finally available in its full form! Horizon just can't catch a break. With Zero Dawn and Forbidden West competing with Breath of the Wild and Elden Ring respectively, the series never stood a chance. With the Burning Shores DLC, however, the problem is less to do with its competitors and more that, in the year since its base game, I have completely forgotten how to play Forbidden West. Luckily, the process of reacquainting myself with the game via this DLC reminded me precisely why last year's title so surprised me in the first place—despite a continually weak narrative and despite its technical prestige, Burning Shores proves that Horizon's willingness to let go of the player's reins, to challenge in both combat and exploration, is what sets Horizon apart from other, more cookie-cutter open world fare.

Really sorry about the delay on this, took a bit longer than expected. Your patience is much appreciated and, as stated in the last post, because I put the work-in-progress version through as a paid post, you will not be charged for this post. 

Thank you once again for allowing me to keep doing this—channel wouldn't exist without you. Got so many ideas I'm working on at the moment—feeling very inspired. Got a fun video on Metal Wolf Chaos in the works, and hoping to get something out about Tears of the Kingdom around its launch next week. Lots of stuff to come. Hope you're excited!

Thanks again,

Hamish
