I have both PS4 pro and Nintendo Switch and want to dive into an open world game for the next month or two. What are you guys thinking?

@lupend86: They're both great but it depends on your taste in story and setting since they're both very different. If you like post-apocalyptic settings with a more sombre story, go with Horizon. If you prefer games with a sense of wonder and magic that are somewhat less serious in tone, go with Zelda.

But, ultimately, you won't go wrong with either one.

I'm in the middle of both at the moment. Both have very different feels similar to what's stated above by Starshine.

Horizon has a far more in-depth story than Zelda thus far. Zelda gives you story at specific points where-as it feels Horizon is constantly adding to the narrative. Both are good stories so far.

Both are fantastic so you should play both. Play BotW first though as HZD will drop in price where as Zelda won't.

I'd say Horizon, purely because its almost definitely shorter so you can get through it faster. I 100% it in about 45 hours. Then you can spend your months on Zelda.

So you bought a Switch and did not get Zelda at the same time? WTF is wrong with you?
