Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Offers Stunning Visuals But Faces Criticism

The remaster of the 2017 classic brings significant graphical improvements but raises questions about the necessity of its release.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered features enhanced lighting, detailed environments, and improved facial animations, making it visually impressive.
Despite the graphical upgrades, some players feel the remaster is unnecessary given the original game's recent release and continued availability.
The remaster lacks some quality-of-life improvements from its sequel, Horizon Forbidden West, such as auto pick-up and refined melee combat.
Existing owners can upgrade to the remastered version for $10, while new players face a higher price, though physical copies may offer savings.
The release highlights a trend of remastering recent games, sparking discussions on the balance between artistic merit and business motivations.
