The Use of Poetry in Horizon Zero Dawn
First author: WilliamsYear: 2021
Abstract
The videogame Horizon Zero Dawn contains many poems, which enrich the game through their thematic alignment with several of the game's major themes including nature, loss, and coping. More specifically, the poems resonate with the guiding statement the writers of Horizon followed by representing “love passed down across generations.” Examining selected poems from the game reveals that Horizon functions as an elegy providing comfort for both personal and planetary losses.Details
