Horizon Forbidden West fans hyped for gyro aiming!

The title has been one of the most anticipated games ever since it was first announced. It attracted great momentum especially after Guerrilla came up with a gameplay reveal in 2021. Since then, Horizon Forbidden West has been in the news consistently.

Even the early reviews, before the official launch, have indicated that Horizon Forbidden West is a well-made and amazing sequel to its 2017 predecessor.

And just recently, another big news surfaced online regarding the massive open-world title. According to the Reddit community, dedicated to PS4, Horizon Forbidden West also comes with the support of gyro aiming.

In one of its newest posts, the community shared a brief clip, of a player who must have got early access, showing the fabulous feature in action.

Gyro aiming basically makes aiming through a bow even more accurate, especially in a game like Horizon Forbidden West. Well, this feature hasn’t been mentioned by Guerrilla, in anyways. But it’s really good to have it, for anyone who likes to play games by enabling such functionality.

Fans shared this sentiment in the comments as well, while reacting to the Reddit post. Many of them praised the step of the developing team for including gyro aiming. One fan expressed a deep satisfaction after witnessing this option.

“Really awesome to see it finally implemented as a core part of a modern game at last! Console gamers who haven’t had this level of control before, are going to love it!”
