Horizon

Horizon is an upcoming action role-playing video game developed and published by Zenith as an exclusive for the PlayStation 4. It is set to be released worldwide on August 11, 2015.

Gameplay
Horizon's gameplay as a whole is an amalgam of various elements from the action-adventure and role-playing video game genres. The primary features of the game are character customization and interaction, player choice, open world exploration, upgrades, and combat tactics.

Character customization
At the beginning of the game, the player has the option of customizing their own character or choosing a default appearance. If the player chooses a default appearance, the character's facial and bodily features will be preset, but the player will still be able to tweak the character's personality and name. When it comes to customization, the player has full reign on what they can modify. The following are all the possible features that can be customized: Following this phase in the customization process, the player will be prompted to choose a starting class.
 * Eyes
 * Hair
 * Nose
 * Mouth
 * Ears
 * Complexion (Caucasian, African American, etc.)
 * Body type (muscular, thin, tall, short, etc.)
 * Personality type (compassionate, bold, etc.)
 * Voice
 * Name (limited in choices, but the game and characters will refer to you as whatever name you choose - ex: David, John, Matthew, etc.)
 * Psychological profile (introverted/extroverted, judgment, intution, etc.)
 * Place of origin (limited, but the game and characters will make note of whatever you choose - ex: New York City, New York, London, England, etc.)
 * Date of birth (very limited, but the game and characters will make note of whatever you choose; the choice you make will also reflect on your character - ex: August 12, 2064, January 29, 2092)

Combat
The combat system in Horizon was designed to be adrenaline-fueled while at the same time tactical. The player can approach a hostile situation in various ways; each will reward them. For example, a player can go in guns blazing and get the same amount of experience as they would if they eliminated the opposition more stealthily. Tactics also come into play in combat, as enemy types are wildly different; individual enemies will have different techniques that could potentially threaten you. Certain opponents may try to use the environment while others may simply try to flank you out of cover so other enemies can launch an attack. A few enemy types also have different weaknesses, forcing the player to think about the best way to dispatch them.
