Horizon Forbidden West - Episode 53: A Hunt To Remember & Collectables (1st playthrough)

This is episode 53 of my playthrough of Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition. I'm happy you're here. :-) In this episode, I completed the following: • Errand: 'A Hunt to Remember' (also picked up in this episode) • Survey Drone: 'The Graypeak' (also discovered in this episode) • Survey Drone: 'The Sheerside Mountains' (also discovered in this episode) • Black Box: 'Bleeding Mark' (this completed the collectables 'Black Boxes') • I visited the Base and completed 'Survey Drone Modules' In this episode, I discovered a new hunting ground (Sheerside Mountains). I completed the last main quest in episode 43, and I'm now doing the last pieces of side content before I play The Burning Shores DLC. I aim to make all videos of first playthroughs as real as I can, and I want my reactions and actions in-game to be authentic. I comment on the game as I play, and I hope it's interesting to watch. It is definitely fun to play. :-) I play the game on PC, but I am using a controller. I will generally use my controller for the games that support the kind of controller I have. I used to play on Normal, as I didn't want the game to be too hard, but I don't want it to be too easy either, so I'm now challenging myself a bit.
