    Got him.
    Used double hard arrow and moved/rolled from one side of the structure to the other. Should have moved from the balcony earlier as I kept getting shot down from there resulting in me falling to death. Cheers...it has certainly helped.

    Is the Plat difficult? Seems like quite a few have already got it.

    Not at all. I got the vast majority just going through the game without even thinking about trophies.

    Only had a few to get after the main story. A couple of side/quests errands, buying all the Shadow weapons/armour and knocking down the Grazer dummies.

    Finished this on Thursday and got the Platinum.

    Overall, its a very good game and defintely one of the best from this generation. The gameplay is a lot of fun and it's probably one of the very few RPG's where the main story is genuinely good. The only real complaints I would have are that the ending is a little bit rushed and the sidequests could have done with a bit more fleshing out.

    I see they're apparently working on an expansion as well, so I'm looking forward to that.

    The side quests were quite underwhelming. It's maybe harsh on Horizon but I can't help but compare it to The Witcher 3 which had incredible side quests.

    I just want more info and glimpses into the past when it comes to Horizon.
    Learning about Faro and Sobeck was so interesting.

    Yeah, it's probably the weakest part of the game. They had the framework for decent stories, but they never really fleshed many of them out.



    That was one of my favourite parts of the game as well.

    With all the stuff about Faro having his own bunker and him joining some sort of anti-tech/Doomsday cult, I'm expecting he'll probably crop up in the sequel in some capacity as well(maybe in regards as to how Hades was woken up).

    I know it got great reviews but i still dont think its getting the hype it deserves, for me its up there with the witcher and unchrted 4. The open world is stunning and alot biiger than i was expecting, the story once you get going is interesting and the gameplay is excellent, everything is just so fluid.

    It's up there, but I think the side content probably brings it down a wee bit. Even though they all had a bit of story stuff, I don't think that any of them were particularly memorable - which was something the Witcher excelled at.

    Everything else was pretty much perfect, but that was definitely something I found a little bit disappointing.

    Yeah I get that, although by the same token it does many things better than the witcher, I loved the witcher but it got abit tedious at times probably because there was so much to do and the combat wasn't as great as the rest of the game and in general the controls felt abit Clunky whereas I love the gameplay in horizon and it makes it more addictive for me. Only thing I disagree with is a lot of reviewers are saying it's graphically better than uncharted 4 which I'm not sure about although it's open world I guess with no loading times which makes it even more impressive I guess.

    Just seen a Dutch documentary about Guerilla/Horizon two days ago about the development/marketing etc. of the game. Very interesting look behind the scenes.

    Superb game, there is a kinda Witcher feel to it, although nowhere as good, still lot of fun.
