Memorable moments in Horizon Zero Dawn - Cinematic Shots

Hello everyone.

I continue my wanderings through the vast landscapes of Horizon Zero Dawn and am slowly exploring new regions while avoiding being devoured by some mechanical beast. While I haven't started posting about the main story yet, I did show some cool screenshots to participate in the weekly contests.

And now that I mention the weekly contest, I tell you that my goal today is to show you some screenshots in which I find myself in situations that could well be taken from a movie. With these screenshots I intend to participate in the weekly community contest with the theme Cinematic Screenshots.

From the beginning, the exploration was fun and, at times, felt more like a parkour game than an action RPG. Wherever I went, there was a climb, an epic descent, or a zip line I would slide down at full speed.

As I'm starting out, each new character I meet is something memorable to remember, especially if it's the warlord of the settlement. This encounter triggered a series of missions that turned out to be very entertaining. The moment was captured in a screenshot showing the new friends as a trio of superheroes in a typical superhero movie pose.

These missions ended with a massive attack on a bandit camp, and right at the start of the combat, I had the opportunity to capture this incredible scene where Aloy, with her spear, clears the way for her allies.

Another funny moment was when, crouching in some bushes, I found a mercenary, who, according to him, was camouflaged. At first I doubted his words, for as you can see, his costume is extremely showy, but when I looked around it turns out that the grass over there had flowers just as showy, so I guess he was indeed camouflaged.

The mercenary asked for my help to eliminate an enemy camp, but as I had a long way to go, I refused as that would be a secondary mission. But as the saying goes, he who doesn't want broth gets two cups, and later on I had to face a huge storm bird, which was attacking some allied guards.

At another time and place I witnessed a machine factory and I wanted to share with you one of the images I took because, without a doubt, it was an incredible scene.

When I had already discovered a large part of the map, I was able to visit the Cemetetric, which is a play on words between cemetery and tetric. Needless to say why they call this place this way, but in broad strokes you can see at a glance that a huge battle took place here.

Among the remains of machines and ancient weaponry, huge tentacles emerged from inside the mountain. At first I thought about continuing on, but curiosity got the better of me and also the current mission demanded it.

After a few moments of action, an Assassin's Creed-like climb and moving through the rubble I was able to reach the center of the mountain.

When I tried to advance further, I was interrupted by some bandits and their corrupted machines, so I carefully and stealthily took care of each one of them. Here everything changed from a typical action movie to a super spy movie. In this scene you can see the typical frame where the protagonist watches from a corner the movements of the bad guys.

Since I was in the leading role, I wanted to take advantage of the fact that I was alone to practice some superhero poses and the one that looked the best was the one I'm sharing with you.

Further on, after crossing a door, I find a huge ancient machine, which Aloy calls a mechanical demon. It's creepy to see this one, seemingly deactivated, but I'm sure something bad is about to happen.

But as this is already part of the main plot and will most likely witness a huge plot twist in the script, I'll leave it for later. For now I'll leave you with a screenshot showing the difference in size of the machine with respect to Aloy, to give you an idea of how difficult it would be to remove it if it were to be reactivated.
