Horizon Forbidden West is not a particularly challenging game, but apparently one player has stumbled upon a trap worthy of a soulslike FromSoftware (or almost).

Aloy’s new adventure set in the Forbidden West (which you can also find on Amazon at a truly remarkable price) can indeed prove to be full of pitfalls, although perhaps not at the level of an Elden Ring .

While someone has recently discovered a trick that allows Aloy to fly, another user has unfortunately not been so lucky .

Also reported by Game Rant , redditor ‘Extension_Feature700’ shared a short 24 second video showing the unfortunate event .

Staying on the subject, another fan made a two-dimensional version of Horizon Forbidden West , releasing an image of what the game could look like in 2D (and it’s wonderful).

Not to mention that an enthusiast has instead given life – if we can say so – to an Aloy in pixel art so detailed as to leave you breathless, also and above all fans of old 8 and 16-bit titles.
