'Horizon Zero Dawn' is an incredible, must-play game that's reason enough to buy a PlayStation 4

Often, while playing through "Horizon Zero Dawn," I was stopped in my tracks by how beautiful it is.

I mean that literally. Over and over, I'd be walking — more likely running — through the massive open world and be overwhelmed by how gorgeous it is; so much so, in fact, that I would literally stop walking and just marvel at the incredible virtual world on my PlayStation 4. 

And that's before we even start discussing the giant metal dinosaurs.

But let's back up: "Horizon Zero Dawn" is a brand new game for the PlayStation 4, available as of February 28. If you own a PlayStation 4, it's a must-play. If you don't, it's a worthy reason — unto itself — to buy a PlayStation 4. No caveats — seriously!

Here's why.
