Horizon Forbidden West May Have Paved The Way For a Cheesy Twist in Horizon 3
The narrative of Horizon Forbidden West sets the stage for Horizon 3 to fall into some common tropes and cliches that should be handled carefully.
Horizon Forbidden West flipped the script of its predecessor in some big ways, but few were as game-changing as the introduction of Beta. After being set up as a Messiah-like figure in Horizon Zero Dawn, Aloy's discovery of a second clone of Elisabet Sobek – and one with a drastically different personality, despite her identical appearance – threw a wrench in both her plans and her self-identity. Bonding with and accepting Beta as a sister and independent person became central to Aloy’s character arc in Horizon Forbidden West.
