Horizon Forbidden West is so detailed that Aloy actually sweats in hot areas of the game.

Over the past weekend, a Twitter user highlighted the glandular tech at work on Horizon Forbidden West's protagonist, as seen just below. Aloy really must be baking under the hot sun of West Coast America.

Horizon Forbidden West is a pretty superbly-detailed game, and this is just the latest proof of that.

Speaking of which, many of the replies to the tweet attest to how impressive the in-game photo mode is. There are countless examples on social media of Horizon Forbidden West's photo mode bringing out the best of this stunning game, as Aloy makes her journey Westward.
