    I think it’s so cool how the Nora’s entire religion was based off of the door control’s robot voice.
  • @mannysantos1562
    "No. I never had a mother." "What are you talking about? You had two! A dead woman and a machine." Freaking savagery.
  • @mataeria
    That ending with Elizabeth saying “i would have wanted her to be... curious...” while Aloy turns on her focus symbolizing her unbounded curiosity that made her reach her final goal, it just freakin tears my heart apart i cry every single time.
  • @cameoL
    "I guess... I would have wanted her to be curious. And willful — unstoppable, even... but with enough compassion to heal the world... just a little bit." this part EVERYTIME 😭😭😭

    Happy Birthday to Elisabet Sobeck. She was born TODAY! March 11, 2020 in Carson City, Nevada.
  • @TalonAshlar
    This is how you establish a strong intelligent moral female lead character who isn't a Mary Sue, prologue, backstory and training montage.
  • @jwbartle
    "So Rost took it upon himself to raise her, and became outcast" He was already outcast due to becoming a Death Seeker to hunt down the raiding party that murdered his family. The Matriarchs couldn't settle on raising Aloy within the tribe due to fears she was put there by a demon, and knowing Rost had lost his child, offered her to him, to be raised as an Outcast by an Outcast.

    I still remember seeing the red lands and thinking, "This is Utah. I've seen these types of natural arches before." I looked it up, and I was right. I love when games incorporate real geography in their worlds.
  • The part with Ted and the alphas really just shows that narcissist really will blame EVERYONE but themselves
  • I have close to 800 hrs in 5 campaigns. HZD literally saved me cuz I had just been a full yr sober and man this game filled voids that I thought were gone. The concept of uncertainty and fear facing in the game was my AA.
  • @klebii
    That Last scene with Aloy seeing Elisabet at her ranch pulled my heart strings again, this game is one of the if not, the greatest games to ever be made.
  • @JaiOnline
    Holy shit. I just finished the main game today and I never realized that Aloy telling Helis to "turn your face to the sun" was a direct recall to when they first met. This game is amazing.
  • @loonar7960
    Man I forgot how HEAVY this story is. What a game. I definitely need to replay it before the sequel. Aaaand now I remember why I cried when it was over. That last scene with Elisabet was powerful.
  • @crocmister1232
    This game genuinely has the best all around execution I have ever seen.
  • @jewel2318
    When you realise those metal flowers are parts of Elisabet's stories she told GAIA in the end.... That's what made me cry even more. I've replayed this game so many times and it just never ceases to amaze me. Being Dutch as well I'm really proud that a game studio from my country created this masterpiece.
  • @trevor3013
    Horizon does one thing amazingly. It let's the open world build the story instead of the open world taking from the story instead. It's amazing
  • @muskularchicken
    Now, after years when I saw the cutscene when she turns into a grown up, feels got to me, bro...This game is amazing. Cant wait for The Forbidden West
  • @darknessviking
    i literally started crying when i re-saw the part where she goes from a kid to a woman, holy wow what a strong moment in the game
  • @gregthomson1064
    15:50 The shot of young Aloy going into a roll and older Aloy coming out it is masterful. Probably my favorite shot of the entire game.
