Horizon Forbidden West - Episode 38: Salvage contracts, relic ruin & rebels (1st playthrough)

Hello! Thank you for clicking on this video. This is episode 38 of my playthrough of Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition. In this episode, I completed the following: • Rebel outpost: "The Stand of the Sentinels" • Relic ruin: "Runner's Wild" (also discovered in this episode) • Salvage contract: "Plowhorns and Plants" • Salvage contract: "Ancient Relics" • Salvage contract: "Property Retrieval" • Salvage contract: "Ravager Cannon" • Salvage contract: "Speedy Lancehorns" (also picked up in this episode) • Survey drone module 287 (2/10) The new things I picked up/discovered in this episode were also completed in this one. 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.
