Kotaku | Kritic

While Horizon: Forbidden West ’s box art coasts dangerously close to being the same MCU-esque poster art this critique lambasts (particularly its special edition cover), it more than makes up for it by way of the tropical aesthetic of its standard edition cover. If you knew nothing about HFW and its release date curse , the contrast between its tropical landscape and tribal-getup of its main character up against the mechanical prehistoric bird feels like apiece one would observe in amused befuddlement at an art exhibit. How are the two in the same place? What narrative secrets lie behind each brush stroke of its cover? It effortlessly boggles the mind while being easy on the eyes, which is what most art should strive to do.
