Horizon Zero Dawn is a fantastic game, but only five years after its original release, players might wonder whether the need for a remake/remaster is all that pressing.

Motivations can include a desire to experience a familiar story in a heightened visual format and wanting to replay a game on the newest console.

Veteran players of remade or remastered PlayStation games (including those not available on PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium in 2022) must decide whether the changes to the game are extensive enough to warrant purchasing it for a second time. While remakes tend to be more elaborate than remasters and may include new gameplay and story elements, both remasters and remakes leave the core aspects of the original game intact. The concepts are often used interchangeably, but whereas a game remaster uses updated technologies to provide an existing game with visual and sound enhancements, bug fixes, and other tweaks, a remake takes an older game and rebuilds it from the ground up.
