Horizon Zero Dawn Gameplay Walkthrough Video

Sony’s official PlayStation YouTube channel is hosting a new video for Horizon Zero Dawn, a gameplay walkthrough to be precise. The footage mostly includes gameplay we’ve already seen at E3 this year, but this time we get a glimpse of the UI and narration from senior producer Mark Norris to help us understand how the gameplay will flow in the final title. The creature AI looks promising, assuming it wasn’t just scripted for the demo:

The core action gameplay certainly looks good and polished, but I’m hoping the “RPG elements” don’t amount to a small skill tree and a handful of fetch quests. The presence of those elements by itself wouldn’t necessarily make Horizon Zero Dawn a bad game, but the setting is interesting enough that I feel it would be a bit wasted if the game ended up being a glorified action game with skill trees.
