Horizon Forbidden West launched last year to success and praise for its open-world, story, character development, and improvements over Horizon Zero Dawn - even if it was quickly overshadowed by FromSoft's Elden Ring. While the overhaul to weapons and ammo types gave players overwhelming content to chew through, the variety of combat on offer balanced out that feeling. One year later, Horizon Forbidden West has continued to be a success for Sony and PlayStation, leading to an even larger franchise expansion.
