Gothic 3 vs Horizon Forbidden West
Gothic 3
Gothic 3 lets continue your adventure as the nameless hero of Khorinis and decide which side to side with - King Rhobar and his last troop of followers or the despicable Hashishin who has sided with the orcs that are causing chaos across Myrtana. The game, like the two before it, are driven by its story and the path of its narrative is largely driven by the players' own choices. The world is as open as ever and you can meet and interact with a host of interesting characters. The game even has a class-free character development system that is admittedly increasingly rare in recent days.That said, Gothic 3 may be fun back in the day, but the game hasn't managed to hold up the passing of time unfortunately. Due to this, if you do plan on getting this game, you might want to consider getting some mods.
Horizon Forbidden West
Horizon Forbidden West lets you join Aloy in the 2nd part of her journey. This time, you will explore the picturesque and majestic yet perilous frontier of the now-ruined city of San Francisco set in the far-flung future. You’ll recognize various landmarks, sunken or otherwise, including the Golden Gate Bridge.As the series heroine, you will investigate the sources of vicious storms and blight, threatening to destroy the land and wipe out the remaining enclaves of humanity and life on Earth itself. Aloy needs to restore balance to the world and uncover the mysteries behind these events. Unfortunately, things aren’t straightforward since she has to contend with new and familiar enemies. You’ll need to deal with snake-like machines, humongous elephants, as well as those that exist underwater. Moreover, hostile human tribes are more advanced since they now mount machines of their own and are capable of controlling combat-class machines bent on destruction. Thankfully, Aloy still has her trusty bow and spear, able to take out enemies using her arsenal of arrows and advanced combat abilities.
Horizon Forbidden West is one of PlayStation’s first exclusives in this new console generation (though it’s compatible with the PS4), and it promises to be another adventure worth undertaking.
