Game News Horizon Forbidden West: unlock a trophy and… plant a tree!
This is a very commendable initiative on the part of Sony: players who unlock a specific trophy in Horizon Forbidden West will automatically plant a tree in the United States… and that’s no joke.
Zero Dawn
From time to time, the video game industry allies itself with certain environmental organizations to do some sympathetic gestures: one of the latest examples is that of Minecraft which, associated with the Yves Rocher Foundation, unveiled a whole program for plant hundreds of trees through player actions. An initiative that looks a bit like Sony’s today: the Japanese firm has joined forces with the foundation Arbor Day for a similar process in Horizon Forbidden West.
More precisely, each time a player unlocks a specific game trophy (named “Cowards Reached”), a tree will be planted as part of a forest restoration project. It takes place in the United States of America in three distinct environments: the forest of Douglas County in Wisconsin, the land of Sheep Fire in California and Torreya State Park in Florida. Places where deforestation has destabilized the ecosystem.
Repopulate the horizon
An operation that fits rather well with the game environment Horizonwho rely heavily on nature with multiple biomes: Forbidden West will be no exception to the rule with lush forests, but also fine sandy beaches, underwater exploration or even arid deserts.
A title that has not finished making people talk about it and which will be commercially available next Friday: for the moment, the Guerrilla Games game displays the sparkling score of 98/100 on Metacritic, and this for a hundred reviews. An extraordinary average for a game that is just as extraordinary: it notably collected the very nice score of 19/20 in our columns. Remember that if the game is particularly beautiful on PS5, it is also impressive on PlayStation 4: the Dutch developers have laid there a work of great quality, do not doubt it.
