    This game at this state is not worth $50, this is either should have been delayed or priced at $30.
    DO NOT BUY AT THIS MOMENT. Wait for a couple of month for the bugs and problems to get fixed. This is near Batman port in terms of port quality.

    The game is not bad, but lags, bugs and zero optimization! 50-60 fps on RTX 2080ti is something terrible! This is bad Sony, this is very bad. And you still want 40$ for that? Keep these exclusives for yourself. In this state, no one needs your games on the PC.

    Animations are not adjusted for more than 30fps, AF is broken, stutter in cut scenes on high end systems (NVMe, 32GB, 2080, 9900k, G-Sync). Bad port.

    It does not catch me. The graphics are good and it has the Witcher formula of an AAA RPG. But combat is boring and not satisfying. The AI is sometimes not existing and despite of the beautiful world, its very boring to run through. Crashessometimes did not bother me, but the gameplay is simply not good. Expected more...

    Horizon Zero Down on the PC infuriates from the very beginning - first, forced sluggish "automatic tuning", which for a top-end PC gives average settings with FHD instead of 4K and does not detect HDR.

Apparently Sony considers that PC users wouldn't cope with graphics tuning, probably confusing us with console users. All this automatically tuned crap is of course useless and should be altered immediately, but before that you need to go through, firstly, the aforementioned worthless auto-tuning and, secondly, the forced movie scene that cannot be skipped with its debilitating dialogues and ridiculous world. I remember that this game did not hook me on PS4 Pro, but on PC, after two years, Horizon causes a real hate. In addition to bad optimization, an idiotic soap movie, we have a storytelling with rabid feminism, a boring and silly world with "dinosaur robots" and a monotonous gameplay designed for the most unassuming gamers. In addition, the protagonist is a "strong independent" woman, an intrusive ideological trope which is thoroughly **** up in modern games. In general, the game is not even worth pirating, because it takes up an unreasonably large space on your hard drive. 4 out of 10 (for bad optimization, soap movie scenes, a bummed world, a dumb plot, and a radical feminist agenda).… Expand

    I was never fan of Horizon and this PC port makes it even worse. For example: game crushes in almost every cutscene, some animation are not made for more than 30 fps so they look awful and, I dont know why but, I have had an issue where my save file was deleted (3 times).

    Short version : the port is terrible

    Long version : The performance is terrible even for rigs that have hardware much better than the "recommended one" . Constant crashes. Some in game animations are locked to 30 fps ,graphical bugs etc . And dont forget : this is a 2017 game , not a 2020 one. On top of it all, some users myself included get save system errors which according to    Short version : the port is terrible

    On top of it all, some users myself included get save system errors which according to suggestions can only be solved by disabling anti virus ( shady).

    Last but not least all the above for the nice price of 50 bucks when you can get the PS4 version for 20. I said to myself that the improved experience of a PC would make it worth it and paid no mind, but with the port being so terrible its actually more enjoyable to return back to the ps4 for this title.

    3/10 because I KNOW its a good game, when it actually works.    … Expand

    Game is good... BUT it is an unoptimized buggy train wreck. Death Stranding uses the same engine and the port was flawless. Whoever did the PC port botched their job and it show.

    Wait till it's fixed, IF it ever gets fixed.

    I bought this game to PS4 a year ago, and I paid around 10 dollars on it (R$40 in Brazil), and I loved it... the story, the missions, the characters, the graphics. But PC version it is unplayable!! Full Price on a (2017) game and still it was launched for PC with all those problems!! This is unacceptable...there is no excuses for that!!

    Ad un mio amico invece tutto questo non succede il suo pc mota una 1050 ti e un i 7 non mi ricordo la gen, e a lui questi problemi non capitano ma in compenso ha crash continui gli fps che vanno da 15 a 62 senza essere stabili, anche lui ha riscontrato problemi con i modelli, texture ma solo sulla protagonista,essi sono estrema semplificazione del modello ovvero era un triangolo strano per il petto e una forma che non so definire per le gambe ma il volto era normale, e un altra volta la pelle era diventata completamente trasparente ma questi due bug sono successi solo una volta uno dietro l'altro e poi non si sono ripetuti, per ora.

    Guerrilla was much better off not having offended the players! Releasing this game without being ready is a serious offense. In RTX 2060 I'm having problems with textures that disappear and others that keep flashing. A really pig job, with a launch that should cost a maximum of 9 dollars if it was to release something so badly done. The question of Stutterings? Yes, it does.

    Amazing graphics. Great combat. Boring story and most characters. Amateurish voices which feels flat... lack of emotions. Oh... and constant crashing. I'm afraid now to start running since it crashed the game often.

    All I have to say — optimization is really terrible. I think releasing Horizon in such condition is just a contempt of players. If you want to play this game, buy it on PS 4. But not on PC.

    Bought it on steam and requested a refund after 23 minutes of "playtime". First took the **** 15 minutes to set "optimal settings" and then the cutscene ran somewhere between "System not responding" to 80 frames.
    Yea, **** that. Just another lazy port, where no optimization has been done. Avoid at all costs until patches have been roled out.

    Horizon Zero Dawn truly expresses how videogames nowadays are an art form, if not only through its visuals and storytelling, then certainly through its expertly incorporated combat. A glee-filled experience through and through.

    I had tons of fun with the PC version of Horizon Zero Dawn. I appreciated the story, enjoyed exploring the vast, remarkable world crafted masterfully out of extremely diverse elements, and found defeating the largest mechanical beasts to be deeply satisfying every single time. Additionally, the Complete Edition features The Frozen Wilds expansion, which is not only large, but also visually stunning. [10/2020, p.56]
