Horizon: Zero Dawn should have just been called Zero Dawn.
It should have been “Horizon.” That’s the game’s series title. And since it was the first one, it didn’t need a subtitle at all.
Also, in the first paragraph it seems like the author is confused by words that are just a bit similar and not even the same since they are mixing together games with “dusk” in the title and games with “dust” in the title.

Zero Dawn was a thing in the game’s back story that explained how everything came to be. Horizon was a throwaway word in a monologue toward the end of the game, and they probably also risked brand trouble with Forza: Horizon, which predated it. That’s my case anyway. “Horizon” seemed a bad fit for that game’s title.
