Common questions

Is this Horizon Zero Dawn recap spoiler-free?

Yes — by construction, not by filtering. The recap is written only from the story up to the point you pick; later events are never handed to the writer, so they can't be revealed even by accident.

Where does the recap stop?

Exactly at the quest or chapter you choose. Pick the last thing you remember doing and the recap covers everything up to it — nothing after.

Do I have to remember where I stopped?

No. On PC, paste your Steam profile and the right chapter is detected from the story achievements you've unlocked. Detection always rounds down: it can place you before your real progress, never past it.

I don't remember quest names — how do I find where I stopped?

Search for any quest you remember in the picker above. Each one maps to the right point in the story, and it always rounds down, so it can never show you more than you've played.

I play on console — does this still work?

Yes. The story is the same on every platform, so the recap is too. Steam sync and save-file import are PC shortcuts; on console, pick your chapter with the quest search — it takes about twenty seconds.

How long does catching up take?

The quick catch-up reads in about thirty seconds; the full story so far takes about ninety.
