Sony has been releasing many of its console flagship games on PC for a few years now. Until the evening of May 29, you can grab Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition on Steam for under €17.
What kind of game is this? Initially released only for PlayStation 4, Horizon Zero Dawn is an open-world action role-playing game by Guerrilla Games.
From a third-person perspective, we control Aloy and fight in a world where humans live almost like in prehistoric times. Robot dinosaurs populate the world in all forms and are now at the top of the food chain.

An Outcast Hunter Against Cyber-Dinos
We play as the young hunter Aloy, who has been ostracized by her tribe. In the dangerous open world, we must not only uncover the truth about her past but also prevent a looming evil.
Equipped with a bow and various traps, we must defend ourselves against the enemies of the world. As the story progresses, we unlock new arrows and abilities. These must be used strategically, as in open combat, we have no chance against most machine beings.
The graphics of the world and the design of the robots are a feast for the eyes, especially on a good PC, and can still compete with many titles today. The successor to Horizon Zero Dawn is even considered one of the most beautiful games of 2022.
How much does the Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition cost? Currently, you can get the game on Steam with a 67% discount. Instead of €49.99, you pay €16.49. It includes several skin and item packs as well as the expansion The Frozen Wilds
, which will keep you busy for a few more hours after the main story.
How is the Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition rated? On Steam, the game has a very positive rating of 87% from 72,486 reviews. (via Steam, as of May 28, 2023)

Horizon Zero Dawn is not just an incredibly good game, but an impressive work with depth that tells a timely story. A must-recommendation for anyone who wants to experience a profound story that is more than just a simple narrative!

Exceptional game. I’ve never played anything comparable. […] I hope that many more such games are to be expected from this top-notch team.
- Chaly:
While the skill tree is relatively simple, the game shines with fantastic graphics and accordingly great atmosphere. I never thought of turning off the music, the NPCs are convincingly voiced, and the plot and lore are worth listening to.
- Fuse: “A masterpiece. No single-player game has captivated me like this in a long time.”
