""[A] thorough examination of the HZD franchise both broad and deep. [The book] brings multiple perspectives to bear on questions around representation, historiography, gender, and eschatology. A deep dive into one of the most popular game franchises of the 21st century for scholars and students alike.""--Gerald Voorhees, associate professor of communication arts, University of Waterloo

""[A]n exceptional collection of diverse and interesting scholarship! While there has been some scholarly writing around the Horizon games, the works in this volume are as unique as they are interesting and represent varied takes on the subject matter.""-Josh Call, professor of English, Grand View University ""Horizon Zero Dawn is without doubt one of the most important video games of the last decade and its growing franchise has only solidified this reputation. Its position has been evidenced by a growing body of literature devoted to the title, but it has been long overdue for a dedicated volume, arguably a proof of cultural relevance that relatively few games have achieved so far. And now Broadening Horizon is here and no volume could do more justice to HZD. From its speculative ecology to gender politics to mythos, the 18 chapters cover practically all aspects of the game and will come more than handy for both research and teaching!""-Pawel Frelik, University of Warsaw ""[A] thorough examination of the HZD franchise both broad and deep.
