Wow, Horizon really only has an 89 on metacritic? I mean, that's a good score and everything, but it's a truly amazing game that's so well designed in almost every single aspect. I honestly expected higher.

Yeah, Metacritic is weird. Big websites like Ars Technica and Kotaku loved the game, but their reviews don't count towards a score, while publications like "New Zealand Gamer" (which knocked the fact that you can't fast travel to unexplored areas) bring the overall score down by giving it an 80.

I've yet to fast travel anywhere, and right now I don't plan to. I'm savoring every minute in the world.
