How to disable animations in Horizon Forbidden West

That’s a good thing Forbidden Horizon West Has unlimited stock. Recently developer Guerrilla Games has accelerated the looting in its bot killing adventure by quietly adding a simple feature: the option to disable small animations.

Forbidden Horizon West, which was first released on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in February, is an example of “textbook open-world games,” with all its good and bad that comes with it. at Match reportsYou mentioned a bunch of minor annoyances and specifically made it clear that you should stop navigating to access important resources like ridge (to make arrows), fiber peel (for brewing potions) a million Berry (for immediate recovery).
