After the release of Horizon: Desperate West last week, many fans praised the sequel for taking the series to new heights. More fun gameplay, grander worlds, more complete missions, more engaging characters, and a richer story are all reasons for the acclaim. The PS5 version of the game scored 88 on Metacritic, but there are also people on the Internet who are less enthusiastic about the praise the game has received.
When Guerrrilla Games' Horizon: Dawn of Zero was released in 2017, its protagonist became one of the favorite topics for fans and critics alike. Eloy's seriousness, concern for humanity, and perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable difficulties are all factors in her support and affection. However, since the first trailer for "Desperate Situation of the West" was released at the same time as PS5 in 2020, some netizens have complained about the appearance of the protagonist.
After the game's release, many Metacritic users called Eloy too "masculine." Some said she was portrayed as a "bearded woman" in guerrillilla Games' sequel. When the player zooms in on Elloy's face in the game's photo mode, she does have some slight facial hair.
