2025/10/22

Usually when we talk about a game or franchise on DLC, it's associated with an anniversary milestone. Rarely do we devote an episode to a game simply because it's awesome and we just want to be rabid fans. So, we do just that with the two main games in the Horizon franchise: Zero Dawn and Forbidden West.
