Absolutely! Probably the best storytelling in a very long time. The lore drops were fantastic and always had me drooling for more info and then bam! Stunners. Right to the End.
I started playing this game this summer, but somehow got distracted and never went back after 4-6 hours in. You make me want to pick it up and play along. Don't think i'll be able to match your cosplay though, well done!
And another goes down the ‘wtf happened to the world’ rabbit hole. Stick with it. The answers are worth the time. Edit: read every datapoint and listen to every audiolog you find. A good chunk of the world building and lore is in those.
I played this for the first time recently and by the end, it jumped to my top 5 of my most favorites. This game is really really good. I hope you enjoy it like I did. Aloy is precious and I love her rebellious streak, heh.
Loved this! I hope you do all the side quests; in this beginning area they help you practice many of the skills for the rest of the game, and once you're out in the full world there's so many interesting characters to meet and help. Side quests will also take you basically across the whole map, whereas the main quest will only go to specific places. Some handy tips: if it gets annoying after a while, you can turn off the pick up animations as you're gathering health and wood. Also, when you see a datapoint to scan, there's a little cube shape on the compass at the top of the screen. It only shows up when you're close to a datapoint, so it's not like you can see them coming a mile off, but when you're in an enclosed space like the ruin at the beginning, its really helpful in not missing any. Hope you keep up with this series, it's my favourite game and the way the story unfolds is amazing. Great vid!
And also references/symbology. Aloy is an amalgamation (alloy) of the old and new worlds/ways. Rost is very conservative, and stuck in the old ways, ( like rusted stuck..)
There is a setting in the menu for disabling pick-up animations. This was part of the sequel but never originally in the first game, but they included it in the remaster. It is a great quality of life improvement.
Oh I'm glad to hear the option is in the first game now! I'm planning on playing it again now that it's been remastered, and I remember being so grateful that the second game had the option to turn it off lol
@Liera I enjoyed your first episode of Horizon Zero Dawn, its one of my favorite game series. I congratulate you on successfully finding all the audio data points in the tutorial area with young Aloy. Everyone seems to always miss the first one on the terminal before you actually start discovering them deeper inside. I hope you will also pursue and include the side quests as they add a lot of context and lore to the rest of the world. I've subscribed and look forward to more episodes. I hope you enjoy this game well enough to play the sequel Horizon Forbidden West. Have fun and enjoy.
Welcome to the Horizon-verse. The world building is exceptional. The story is the best I've ever experienced (full disclosure...I'm NOT a gonzo gamer...but this game totally captured me). Enjoy the journey as you piece together what happened to "our" world. I look forward to your next session. Great cos-play (I would love to have made my grand-daughter 6 year old Aloy for Halloween...maybe next year). Peace
I fondly remember playing this game back in 2017 when it first released. I hope you'll have as much fun playing as I did then. Oh and I love the Aloy cosplay!
Do the side quests. They're mostly great, and add a ton of character to the world. Plus there are some great characters that might pop up here and there in the future.
Woohoo. One of my favorite games. Can't wait! This was the reason I bought a PS4 Pro back then. The remaster makes it even better. Your cosplay is amazing!
HZD is honestly the only game I wish I could re-experience for the first time. It's exceptionally rare for a game's story to captivate me like it's did.
Glad you're playing this. Haven't really played a lot of this, but Aloy is one of my favourite characters. Speaking of which, well done on the cosplay.
It looks good but the lip animation looks patchy e.g. 1:06:25 "Are you worrying about what happens after the proving?" She doesn't make the W month shape IMHO. It would take a significant effort do fix all of Aloy's lines but if they were going to remaster the game, this a bare minimum standard.
I just found your channel. This is one of my favorite games of all time and you are in for a treat!!!! Looking forward to the journey with you and great costume!!!
Beautiful video, I like your cosplay and your reactions. I remember when I played this game a few years ago for the first time. I play different video games since more than 4 decades, but no game captivated me like this and the sequel. It got me from the first moment and never let me go. I really couldn‘t wait to get further in the story, discover more and more of its secrets. But I also took the time for the side quests, errands and for the exploration of the beautiful world. So enjoy this game, I will enjoy watching you going on. 😊
Subscribing just to tag along for this adventure with you. I’ve been playing games for 25 years at this point and this story and gameplay experience is among the best I’ve ever played. I’m excited for you to enjoy it.
Not only is your cosplay on point, your face matches Aloy's so well it almost becomes uncanny xD As for the game itself, I've given it a go myself, but the gameplay failed to capture me, so I dropped it. Following along with this series is gonna be nice!
So incredibly awesome to see a PC gamer on UA-cam! ("One of us! One of us!") And the cosplay is more than adorable - it's an homage. Looking forward to seeing the next installment.
The game is a masterclass in sci-fi story telling with character and heart as well as an enthralling origin story for our fierce red headed hero. It was my favorite game on the PS4. As awesome as this game is overall the followup Forbidden West was even better. Buckle your seatbelts for this wondrous journey.
Eines der schönsten Spiele der letzten Jahre und du siehst echt aus wie Aloy. Grandioses Outfit und hast dich wieder mal selber übertroffen. Wie immer so viel Mühe und die Liebe zum Detail. Du siehst einfach umwerfend aus. Okay, machst du immer und für mich Platz 1 bei jedem Cosplaywettbewerb und ich habe sehr vieles gesehen in Japan. Selbst die Augenfarbe stimmt, ha! Das Spiel ist makellos - perfekt. Wunderschön und ein Genuss. Danke Liera für diese Überraschung. Guter erster Part und like Björk - Iàm a hunter. Du wirst sehr viel Spass haben und somit wir auch. LG
I just noticed you're playing HZD, I started following you for your bioware playthroughs but it's great to see you playing another of my favourites Love this game, it seems vastly under rated I'm halfway through my game+ playthrough, having not played it for a couple of years, so I didn't get the starting bit this time😒 Looking forward to watching your playthrough and seeing your reactions Edit:- love your cosplay, you look great 😄
23:56 Dont worry, you are meant to use that scan mode alot.. I too used it all The time to make sure I did not miss anything lying around or to check where to go etc... You will leant more about how to use it...
Exploration is key in this game. Some of the side quests are hidden away more than others. But that is not a bad thing, since it's such a beautiful game with a story that will suck you in.
Best Game EVER! Seriously its in my top 4 games. Do all the quests.😃 I did anyway. You gain experience and get stronger so its wise to do them especially if you start struggling with tougher critters.
Currently still watching. As of this comment, I'm at Aloy's first kill. I've always liked how Rost emphasized what he told her. "Even a weak machine can kill a hunter. If SHE'S careless."
I've never played this game, but it is on my list. I only watched the intro, read a few comments and I fell this could be a really good game. Sadly I can't watch your playthrough, because I don't want any spoliers, so when I finally get to play it, I can enjoy all the suprises. Have fun! :)
Ouuuuu I loved this games story when it came out! It really got looked over because Legend Of Zelda came out like a month later 🤣 but I loved the narrative! Hope you do too
You're relying a bit too much on the stealth. What you really need to learn is to shoot accurately and dodge against multiple enemies. I don't know if they changed this in the remaster, but in the original the weapons tutorials won't count as complete unless they're the active quest when you do their goals. They should provide some early XP.
I recommend to be killing & looting everything in the beginning. 😉🤘🏻 Thank you for sharing. Please do all the side missions on camera. Great content & helps explain what happened to the “metal world.” 😉✌🏻💚🤘🏻
Is your hair naturally that red? I promise I'm not criticizing. I'm just saying...JAYSUS, with that getup, you are a spitting image of what I see in my mind's eye of what Aloy looks like in the really real world.
@LieraPlays looks good. I love watching first playthroughs of my favorite games. I look forward to watching and I wish you the best of luck. It's a good one.
Please, for the love of God, attach a controller. The rapid camera jerking from keyboard control makes the video extremely hard to watch. The game is perfectly playable with a controller as it was designed for that. Good video though. Looking forward to this (if motion sickness from rapid keyboard camera control doesn't get me).
Please, for the love of the all-mother, stop asking keyboard+mouse players to use a controller. The game is just as well playable with m+k, done it myself, seen others do it. If you don't like the "jerking" camera movements of her mouse (it's that, btw, not her keyboard that controls the camera panning), what do you think how the camera movement will be if she starts using a controller now? If she's anything like me, the camera will be a lot more jerky and especially unprecise. So it would not only be a worse visual experience for you, but also a worse gameplay experience for all of us.
![This is going to take months, isn't it...🖤 First Time Playing SKYRIM | Blind Playthrough in 2025 [3]](/img/n.gif)
Well, you're in for a treat. I personally consider this game a case study in perfect storytelling.
Couldn’t agree more. It’s a slow burn but it makes it all the better. Little lore drops between lore dumps.
Texas! How the heck are you? 😊
This game is so good in its characters, narration, and yes, even gameplay.
Absolutely! Probably the best storytelling in a very long time. The lore drops were fantastic and always had me drooling for more info and then bam! Stunners. Right to the End.
Welcome to the new series everyone :)
❤ u Liera!!! 🫶🥰🍻
Oh! This is a wonderful game with an amazing plot! It will be very interesting to follow your reactions and assumptions. Enjoy!
Ooooh, i loved this game.. Gonna be interesting to see what you think 😊
Will be following this LP 😁
I started playing this game this summer, but somehow got distracted and never went back after 4-6 hours in. You make me want to pick it up and play along. Don't think i'll be able to match your cosplay though, well done!
Great job with the costume😮
💯 👌🔥🔥🔥
It's uncanny how close it is. So good.
And another goes down the ‘wtf happened to the world’ rabbit hole. Stick with it. The answers are worth the time.
Edit: read every datapoint and listen to every audiolog you find. A good chunk of the world building and lore is in those.
I knew most of the backstory and twists before playing the game and it’s still awesome, the world building is just that cool.
I played this for the first time recently and by the end, it jumped to my top 5 of my most favorites. This game is really really good. I hope you enjoy it like I did.
Aloy is precious and I love her rebellious streak, heh.
I've replayed this and the sequel multiple times. You're in for a treat. It's such an awesome world to dive into.
Loved this! I hope you do all the side quests; in this beginning area they help you practice many of the skills for the rest of the game, and once you're out in the full world there's so many interesting characters to meet and help.

Hope you keep up with this series, it's my favourite game and the way the story unfolds is amazing. Great vid!
My favorite game ever!! You will LOVE it. ❤
There is a lot of symbolism in this game. Even the names of the characters refer to metals: Aloy (alloy) and Rost (rust)
Never saw that! Thanks.
Omg I've finished this game twice without realizing that, nice!
And also references/symbology.
Aloy is an amalgamation (alloy) of the old and new worlds/ways.
Rost is very conservative, and stuck in the old ways, ( like rusted stuck..)
There is a setting in the menu for disabling pick-up animations. This was part of the sequel but never originally in the first game, but they included it in the remaster. It is a great quality of life improvement.

The music in this game is phenomenal

Thank you for playing this. It is exceptional! The story blew my mind. I still have not found a game that has done it better.
This just popped up in my recommended, This is my favorite game series ever! Subscribed just to watch you go through this amazing story!
I'm so glad to see you playing this! You will LOVE it! (knowing how much you loved Mass Effect)
Your cosplay is amazing haha, i love this game. Have funnn exploring
My favorite game, currently playing remaster. Played seven times previously.
I think you will really enjoy the story of this game. It is a nice story. I am currently playing through the remaster. Good luck and have fun.😊
HZD is honestly the only game I wish I could re-experience for the first time. It's exceptionally rare for a game's story to captivate me like it's did.
This game is absolutely phenomenal! I hope you have a blast and enjoy every moment! 🥰
Glad you're playing this. Haven't really played a lot of this, but Aloy is one of my favourite characters. Speaking of which, well done on the cosplay.
They did a great job on this remastered
It looks good but the lip animation looks patchy e.g. 1:06:25 "Are you worrying about what happens after the proving?" She doesn't make the W month shape IMHO. It would take a significant effort do fix all of Aloy's lines but if they were going to remaster the game, this a bare minimum standard.
love the details they added . like the reflection of the puddle and in the original the focus was already luit but this ,makes more sense
I just found your channel. This is one of my favorite games of all time and you are in for a treat!!!! Looking forward to the journey with you and great costume!!!

YESSSSS my fave game tbh, also even if im late by like 10 days, so glad yet another playthru is starting now...gl with the game, Li

I can´t play anymore, but I still love games, this one is a great one. The lore is so great and interesting, have fun 😃

Yay! You will love this game. It may not become your most favorite but you will enjoy it.
I foresee Liera LOVING this game. Going out on a limb here. lol
so glad you’re playing this. Been a while since I watched your videos.

Such a great game, i'm buckled in ready for the ride
Incredible cosplay! And one of my favorite games. Subbed for the cos and following for the let's play. Great so far!

This is a good one with an even better 2nd game! Hope you enjoy.
I just noticed you're playing HZD, I started following you for your bioware playthroughs but it's great to see you playing another of my favourites
Love this game, it seems vastly under rated
I'm halfway through my game+ playthrough, having not played it for a couple of years, so I didn't get the starting bit this time😒
Looking forward to watching your playthrough and seeing your reactions
Edit:- love your cosplay, you look great 😄
23:56 Dont worry, you are meant to use that scan mode alot.. I too used it all The time to make sure I did not miss anything lying around or to check where to go etc... You will leant more about how to use it...
Haven't been around much since Mass Effect ended, but this surely got my attention!
Exploration is key in this game. Some of the side quests are hidden away more than others. But that is not a bad thing, since it's such a beautiful game with a story that will suck you in.
ALOY !!!
A new Adventure. Es wird wunderschön. Schneller agieren und no chicken. LG
this video popped up in my homepage, I just had to check it out. Loving it so far... tell you what, I'll drop a sub.
God this opening is so good 😮
Awesome outfit and hair, great look, tho' it's strange to watch Aloy playing Horizon Zero Dawn.
Best Game EVER! Seriously its in my top 4 games. Do all the quests.😃 I did anyway. You gain experience and get stronger so its wise to do them especially if you start struggling with tougher critters.
This is gonna be a good one
You look alike this character in such a stunning way....Like it came out of the game to play itself.
Geesh.
Currently still watching. As of this comment, I'm at Aloy's first kill.
I've always liked how Rost emphasized what he told her. "Even a weak machine can kill a hunter. If SHE'S careless."
I've never played this game, but it is on my list. I only watched the intro, read a few comments and I fell this could be a really good game. Sadly I can't watch your playthrough, because I don't want any spoliers, so when I finally get to play it, I can enjoy all the suprises.
Have fun! :)
Thank you, and see you after you play it!
Excellent into session - can't wait to see the next :) Oh - you might want to update your tagging, this isn't dragon age anymore :)
I knew I forgot something haha
Robot dragon age?
Wicked cosplay! Cant watch your playthrough now , coz i haven't got to play it my self yet 😊
Hi Liera. Very nice cosplay. Welcome to the journey.
Ouuuuu I loved this games story when it came out! It really got looked over because Legend Of Zelda came out like a month later 🤣 but I loved the narrative! Hope you do too
The cosplay is excelent!
A very good choice Aloy ..I mean Liera 😄
Currently playing this one for the first time but way ahead of you LOL.
Enjoy !!
Это потрясающая игра! Как бы я хотела снова пройти её в первый раз)
Oooh that cosplay!!! 🤩
Great choice, amazing story
Haha, the best facecam! 🤘🏼 😁
1:57 Welcome to Robo Jurassic Park!
Do as many of the side Quest as you can. They are real fun to do.
You're relying a bit too much on the stealth. What you really need to learn is to shoot accurately and dodge against multiple enemies.
I don't know if they changed this in the remaster, but in the original the weapons tutorials won't count as complete unless they're the active quest when you do their goals. They should provide some early XP.
Yeah you got through your first level challenge4. She's 18 after the transition. It took 12 years. She was 6 when we first get control of her.
Your cosplay is really good 👍
This is one of three games that made me want a PS4.
To answer your question, I believe she is 18
Don't forget you can use rocks to distract machines
“How did she not break anything?” … Plot Armour.
HZD? oh it's on!
Keine Angst. Nur Liebe, für das, was du machst. Eine der letzten Worte von meinem dad. LG
Here for this
I'm about to start the game right now after watching this! Do you stream on Twitch as well?
Sadly, I don't. Not enough time in the day!
Your cosplay is wonderful❤
I recommend to be killing & looting everything in the beginning. 😉🤘🏻 Thank you for sharing.
Please do all the side missions on camera. Great content & helps explain what happened to the “metal world.” 😉✌🏻💚🤘🏻
Good game choice. Kind of weird not seeing the remastered version.
It is the remastered version!
@@LieraPlays 😅 I'm so stupid. 👍
Beautiful Liera will u be playing lollipop chainsaw after this?? Just wanna see the cosplay 🤭😍😉🫶
Hello Aliora...alloyera...lieraloy...
Impossible to find a name, but nice costume, enjoy the game !
I have to keep reminding myself that it's not actually Aloy playing.
Cool outfit
I was just wondering if you are u going to be playing Lego Horizon Adventures when it comes out next week
remeber he menyiond animals and steel, also rost is an outcast by choice dut doesnt know where she came from
If I was a robot I would want Liera to spear me and take my parts! 🥰🫶
STILL NO EPISODE 2?!?!?!
She has to be shunned to suffer in depression and end up like best commedian.
You could be the actress.
Tip: Explore the cave you fell in as a child and break some ice
Tip: let her play her game ( not yours ), her way.
Is your hair naturally that red? I promise I'm not criticizing. I'm just saying...JAYSUS, with that getup, you are a spitting image of what I see in my mind's eye of what Aloy looks like in the really real world.
Hah, sadly no, that's just cosplay, the second video shows it closer to the real color.
@LieraPlays looks good. I love watching first playthroughs of my favorite games. I look forward to watching and I wish you the best of luck. It's a good one.

I'm sorry, there's a reason why I waited for it to be on PC, but I'll try to be more considerate about camera jerks.
@@LieraPlays thanks. I just need to stop being such a sook and suck it up.
@@LieraPlays You can play on a PC with a controller I am told. I'm not that sensitive to jerks in movement.
@sheert that's my point...I have the PS5/controller, I'm horrible at aiming with one, so I waited for a PC version.
WHERE IS THE NEXT EPISODE????
