I found the skiff really useful in traversing the open waters of what was once Los Angeles. Couple that with the new skill that allows you to fire the Spectre Gauntlet while gliding and you can now attack machines and other enemies from the air.īurning SHores also adds a new mode of transport, a skiff. The new weapon, the Spectre Gauntlet was absolutely fantastic and I found myself blasting machines to smithereens with it. There’s a new relic ruin, a new cauldron, new collectables, a new weapon and of course new skills to learn. Of course, being an open-world game, Burning Shores also added quite a few other things. The main story was a bit shorter than I thought it would be but along with a few new side quests, there was still enough story-wise to keep me entertained for quite a few hours. The new Los Angeles region is fairly big, roughly a third of the size of the main game map. Big open-world action RPGs are my thing so I was very much looking forward to Burning Shores and what it would add to Horizon Forbidden West. Since Horizon Zero Dawn, the Horizon franchise is easily in my top 5 gaming franchises of all time.

Burning Shores Review – More Aloy and More Horizon is Always a Good Thing It also introduces a few new characters, one of which gets very close to Aloy. This new adventure sees Aloy take on a new threat and adds to Aloy’s story in very meaningful ways.
