One of the most anticipated games of the year was Horizon Forbidden West. For those who want to remember the story of the first game before playing today’s game, we have prepared a short summary for you. Without further ado, let’s go on an adventure with Aloy:
An orphaned girl…
In the opening scene of the play, we see a baby found by a man (Rost) driven from the tribe, taken to the mother of the tribe, where the child is named after them. Our lovely daughter’s name is Aloy. Like Rost, he doesn’t belong to any tribe, so he has to live in the wilderness. Rost is naturally becoming a father figure to him. It’s always Rost who teaches Aloy things like exploring the environment, following robots, avoiding them, and disarming them when the time comes.
Aloy tries to get close to his peers in the tribe as a child, but he is excluded, mistreated and ultimately quickly distanced himself from them. And that’s when he finds his magic device. In a secret center he stumbles into, he finds messages and holograms about the past, and acquires a focus that allows him to see the world with a different eye. That’s one of the highlights of our story. It’s a technology from the Old World and the people of the old world. We see that Aloy is also skilled at using this technology.
When Aloy becomes a young girl, she participates in a competition that can allow her to be accepted into the tribe. Aloy, who had the opportunity to meet different characters at the festival held the night before the competition, also saw that the magic device was not the only one. As soon as Aloy wins the competition with the tribe’s youth, an attack is carried out and many members of the tribe are killed, including Rost, who sacrificed himself to save Aloy. This attack is the beginning of a revenge struggle for Aloy, and then the story of revealing secrets about himself and his past.
Aloy goes to the gate where he is with the mothers of the tribe and sees the first signs of his connection to the ‘ancient people’. When Aloy sees elisabet sobeck, she thinks she might be his mother, and those who attacked the tribe have already attacked him, thinking that Aloy is Elisabet.
Aloy embarks on a long journey to solve all these mysteries from now on, and with images from centuries ago of the beginning of the story, we learn what is happening to the world, where these robots originate, the source of the attacks.
Old World…
At this point, let’s go back centuries to the beginning of the story. A company called Faro Automated Solutions is being founded by an entrepreneur named Ted Faro. This company produces smart robots and offers them in many areas. Of course, the areas where they stand out the most are military operations. For armies, it’s possible to win battles with robots rather than losing people. At this stage, they are not yet aware of the threat they face.
One of the most important features of these robots is their ability to make copies. AI is also highly advanced, which gradually magnifies a threat that humans don’t realize.
Before that threat manifests itself, natural disasters are happening and mass deaths are taking place. It’s not enough when you say refugee crises, biological terror attacks, people don’t get a chance to pull themselves together.
While all this is happening, Fargo’s company is growing step by step. They are starting to develop ‘green robots’ to combat environmental disasters. Elisabet Sobeck is in charge of this project. With elisabet’s great contributions, the company has made an incredible breakthrough, while Faro is being seen as a hero. But this so-called hero manages to be the one who brought the great catastrophe!
While Faro, who has shifted his company to the field of military technologies, has increased his wealth, Elisabet puts the mail on the boss, leaves the company, starts his own company, continues to work that could be a hope of salvation for humanity.
And we’re coming to disaster… one of Faro’s military robot units, they’re losing contact with Chariot, they’re not responding to instructions. Faro’s asking Elisabet for help with this. Elisabet, as a result of his investigation, found that the Chariot contingent had become self-governing, and that meant the world faced a great threat. These are robots that can meet their energy needs with biosources, repair robots in the union, produce new ones, hack other robots and take them under their own orders. You see, this unit is a pain in the ass.
Elisabet determines that these robots will bring about the end of civilization in about 15 months. And from this point on, he develops the project that gave the game its name: Zero Dawn.
An artificial intelligence called Gaia is being developed; A project that will neutralize the robots that brought this catastrophe after life on Earth ends, and then restart life. Of course, he needs time to do that. That’s where people come in. They resist the robots as much as they can and make sure the project is completed. Life ends on Earth, Gaia hacks and shuts down robots, then restarts life. And on the 31st. We’re coming to the 19th century.
Now, under normal circumstances, everything has to be rosy, isn’t it? Hades is responsible. Hades, who was designed to end life on Earth and restart Gaia if things didn’t work out and there was a problem, misinterpreted the issue and caused trouble for mankind. He has one goal: to end life on Earth once again.
Aloy learns all the facts as a result of a long and difficult struggle, and when he learns that elizabet is a clone (i.e. it is also possible to say that 🙂 is his daughter in a sense), he begins to move towards the ultimate goal, when he learns that he must disable Hades in order to save humanity from the brink of disaster.
After Aloy overcomes all obstacles and disabling Hades (in fact, Hades is not completely ineffective and the door is opened for the second play) and saves humanity, he goes to Elizabet’s house and ends the game with this emotional scene.
