Exploring Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores - A Review

The Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC includes a surprising twist in which protagonist Aloy displays vulnerability and develops romantic feelings for new character Seyka. This is unexpected as Aloy has been portrayed as asexual in previous instalments. The relationship feels rushed, but it is clear that it will have a significant impact on the story in the next game. Players can choose to either kiss Seyka or tell her it's not the right time, but it's implied that there are feelings there regardless of the decision.
