I got it recently on Steam and I'm finding that it's the perfect open world game, with great combat, fun exploration, an interesting story..I struggle to find things to complain about. The game handles loot and progression really well.
Based on some time testing out a few of the different options, difficulty in Horizon Zero Dawn really only seems to affect the amount of items found (finding higher quality items is much harder on higher difficulty), and the amount of damage that both Aloy and enemies dish out. The enemy’s HP amount also seems to rise a little on higher
