Horizon and it's underlined message

HFW Discussion

The one thing I love from both games was the story underlined message that Aloy undergo in the games.

(Btw these are my takeaway from both games and I could be wrong but feel free to give me your takeaways from them)

In Zero dawn Aloy is driven on a mindset of finding answers of her past and mother, wanting to learn who her mother was and why she abandoned her, pushing forward all by herself letting nothing stop her. And when she learns her place in the world is more bigger than she imagined she probably chuckled at the last lesson Rost told her because he was right.

In forbidden west. The story to me is Allies. Aloy goes on another adventure with a ticking clock of the world slowly on a death spiral to a point of no return. Erend trying his best to explain to Aloy she shouldn't be doing stuff by herself and putting the weight of this mission on her shoulders alone. And like in the first game there was always something in the way keeping her from her goal but in doing so she gathers Allies who aligned with the bigger picture of something big coming and she needs all the help she can get.

Thankfully she is doing Rost proud of "Serve a purpose greater than herself" his final lesson to her before the proving and his self sacrifice. And she definitely is doing everything in her power to achieve Eliz dream of earth having a chance to thrive.

But makes me curious what the final games underlined message for Aloy is.
