A heartwarming conversation between Mother and child on how to play the upcoming Horizon Forbidden West is the wholesome content we need.

Horizon Forbidden West's release is almost a week away and Aloy fans are beside themselves with excitement. In fairness, it's not hard to be blown away by the stunning trailers developer Guerrilla Games have been popping out left, right and centre to ramp up the hype level.

It's also not surprising that the gameplay clips have even caught the eye of non-gamers who have been swept away by its incredible graphics and rich environments.

If you're feeling a little down in the February dumps, this uplifting text message exchange between a mum and their kid on helping them get to grips with the new Horizon Forbidden West will surely make your day.

Over on Reddit, user YouYongku wanted to share with everyone the wholesome conversation they had with their mum regarding the much-anticipated release of Horizon Forbidden West.

In the text messages, YouYongku's mother had asked them if they had heard of the game and if it was on PS5. The mother, who apparently has never been into video games, thought that HFW looked "really cool" and wondered if YouYongku's would teach them how to play it.

"I'd love to try it. They look very interesting. I may be hard to teach since I never play games but if you help me. I'm excited" she exclaimed.

It's so lovely to see people, young and older, wanting to learn how to play and getting out of their comfort zone. In my opinion, you couldn't find a better place to start than with Horizon Forbidden West! Here's hoping this gaming experience will provide some fantastic bonding moments between the pair and will continue with even more titles.

Horizon Forbidden West will release on PS4 and PS5 Friday, February 18, 2022
