Frozen Landscapes of Horizon Zero Dawn

With the release of Hollow Knight Silksong coming closer, it is making my backlog of games even longer. I am afraid that I won't be able to play much of Horizon Zero Dawn. It has some amazing landscapes and is fun to play. I love to spend a lot of time in its photo mode rather than playing and completing missions. My favourite region of the game is the snow biome, and today I will be showing some shots of that.  --- The mountains in the backdrop make a perfect border for the world, but I wish you could climb on the peaks and see the whole land from there. One of the machines that is almost everywhere is a Grazer. They were one of the first machines created to convert grass into Blaze. They are always working and seem to be extracting things from the ground.  --- Another interesting one is the Shellwalker; they have a large metal box on top, probably used for storing items and transporting valuable materials. They are no slouch when it comes to fighting, shooting lasers and wielding a shield in one mechanical arm. For me, they are the crab machine. And I always have a lot of fun fighting these guys.  --- This wilderness is not a good place to thrive. Even some machines couldn't survive the harsh climate.  --- I climbed one of the local hills to see what the world looks like, but it didn't turn out that well, and I fell. This shot was taken while I was about to hit the ground. Night made it even more dangerous for me to see properly.  --- The old buildings here have been converted into outposts where tribal communities live. But some of them were captured by Bandits and rival tribes. You have to liberate these outposts.  --- I love the way everyone ignores piles of dead bodies on the floor and just does their business like it is a normal day here. Two dead bodies shouldn't come in between a trade deal involving 10 metal shards...should it? xD  --- The forests here are stunning. Everything is covered with a sheet of snow. The white tree leaves and snow on the grass with a dense forest filled with dangerous machines and humans, is a good way to experience this game's beauty.  --- Those red tall grasses are perfect to hide and draw your prey closer. I prefer a stealth approach just because it is a much more rewarding experience. Making strategies on how to get the entire herd without spooking them will always be fun for me. But it doesn't work with large machines.  --- I will finish this post with a foggy night shot, you can see how the moon is barely visible in the sky. The blue tint is a bit too strong for my liking, but that atmosphere is perfect for some light hunting in the game. Makes it much more exciting.  --- Let me know if you liked these shots and which one is your favourite.
