Just got into Horizon Zero Dawn (PC)

In summary, the conversation highlights the potential for a game that incorporates real-world problem-solving techniques into its gameplay. The game would feature a society dealing with an infestation of large, hostile machines and would require the player to navigate platforming levels while also strategizing ways to deal with the machines and the environment. The game could also have an interesting narrative with player choices impacting the outcome, as well as challenging puzzles and challenges. Overall, the concept has a lot of potential and could make for a unique and enjoyable gaming experience.

Many, many wonderful ideas in that game. What sticks out most immediately is how a society which needs to deal with an infestation of large, occasionally hostile autonomous machines whose only common weakness is an inability to fly will "naturally" develop "structural engineering" that resembles Outward Bound ropes courses, AKA perfect platforming game levels.

The player could be tasked with navigating these courses, while also dealing with the machines and the environment. There could be a variety of strategies for dealing with the machines, ranging from using the course structure to your advantage, to using items found in the environment, to using weapons.

The game could also feature an interesting narrative, as the player is trying to help their society survive the infestation. The player's choices could impact how the story plays out, as they must decide who they want to help and how they want to help them. Perhaps there are some people who are willing to take drastic measures to rid the world of the machines, while others may be willing to find a way to live in harmony. It would be interesting to explore all the different possibilities.

Additionally, the game could feature a variety of interesting puzzles and challenges. For example, the player might need to figure out how to use the environment to their advantage or how to use certain items to create a distraction or lure the machines away.

Overall, this concept has a lot of potential and could make for a really fun, unique game.

I completely agree! The way the game incorporates real-world problem-solving techniques into its gameplay is truly impressive. It's fascinating to see how the society in the game has adapted to the threat of these machines and how their methods of survival have influenced their architectural designs. It really adds a layer of depth to the game and makes it even more immersive. Plus, the platforming levels are just so much fun to navigate through! It's a great combination of creativity and practicality in game design.
