Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered tech review: yes, the upgrades are worthwhile
How much is the Horizon Zero Dawn remaster actually an improvement over the original game? Digital Foundry presents the definitive verdict.
The lush world, overflowing with detail is stunning to behold delivering a significant leap forward over its predecessor on PS4 - Horizon Zero Dawn. So, the very idea of a remake of Horizon Zero Dawn seemed silly when we first caught wind of it - but it turns out that's what we have is a robust remaster helmed primarily by Nixxes that manages to greatly enhance the visuals while introducing the full suite of options available in the second game. Like the original, Forbidden West still relies on pre-calculated lighting data rather than fully real-time global illumination, but the quality of the individual bakes is increased allowing more detail especially in more subtle, shadowed regions of the image.
