IMO yes. It is for me one of the best games I've played this year. Plz don't hate me on this, but I honestly didn't really like BOTW (not that I don't like Zelda. Twilight Princess is one of my fav games of all time!): the story, Voice acting, weapon durability and ending really killed the experience for me (I did enjoy the open-world gameplay though!). Horizon on the other hand was fantastic. It had a great story with memorable characters (especially the main character, Aloy) and it had great gameplay, especially with the hunting mechanics.
