In the fire and the flames

I’m super proud of this one.

Taken at the village in the north of the map – I’ll update the post when I find out the name again.

The fire used to save progress was used to almost show her walking through the flames.

Gliding down to the Tallneck

Aloy glides down from the Cinnabar Sands satellite dish, towards the head of the Tallneck.

I died far too many times from the two Scrappers and Skydrifter on site — with no metal shards left at the start of the encounter no less.

I should add that I’m playing on ultra hard mode (not new game plus). So I’m essentially naked at this point in the game. :S

A wide shot from above in the game "Horizon Forbidden West". Aloy glides down from an unseen high point, down to the top of the head of a tallneck machine. The dusty desert sprawls beneath.

Climbing Post

I’ve been trying to get some PlayStation time in again.

It’s been a while with two small children about.

I took this shot of Aloy just after the battle at the Forbidden West gates near the start of Horizon: Forbidden West.

Top of a climbable post with the strong orange sun about the set in the background. The silhouette of a long-haired woman in make-shift armour, Aloy, hangs off the top.

My first day in Novigrad

I decided to break away from my quest and head north to Novigrad.

I had some currency i’d looted, which said I could exchange at the Novigrad bank. So off I went.

I tried a direct route but that was guarded and I was unable to pass without a pass of some kind.

So I just went off-road and crossed at some marshes to the north west.

After a slight detour into a small treasure hunt, I arrived at Novigrad.

Love the size and the vibes. Prob gonna spend some time just exploring this place.

The botchling fight in The Witcher 3 was not fun. Especially when those bloody spectres kept showing up.

I dont feel like there’s much of a skill climb to get in the game so far – other than jump, roll, hack n slash.

But maybe thats on me and my abilities.

Still, lets continue on.
