    Fantastic port. Running smooth like butter on my Ryzen 3600 with a RTX 2060 at 1440P. Loving it even more than the PS4 version since I can aim way better with a mouse and keyboard. About 3 hours in and zero issues so far.

    Can you name even one more game making such a bold, progressive statement--in gameplay--about what our real world needs less of and more of?

    The truly human values of Aloy are a welcome relief to me after endless game genres celebrating every flavor of toxic apocalypse.
    Unlike the recent three Tomb Raider reboots (also favorites of mine), Horizon avoids the inconsistencies of the Lara Croft character: alternating between soft and feminine one moment and brutally lethal the next. Aloy is a hard ass, "get it done" character who also has a heart when this is safe and appropriate.    … Expand

    I have personally had none of the crazy technical issues that supposedly make the game "unplayable." It has worked perfectly.

Obviously the story is amazing, and it has been just long enough since playing the PS4 version that it feels almost like a new game. For instance, I didn't remember the "secrets" of Zero Dawn, so it was fun to experience again, at 144fps no less!

    I'm running an i7-8770 / 1080Ti / 32gb DDR4 / older SSD w/ 600 mb up/down. The game runs like butter. I did have one technical issue, where the game didn't remember my graphics or key bind changes, and it took all of 3 minutes to restore them to my liking.

    This game came out Mardi Gras day 2017 and I still remember booting it up after a long fat Tuesday.

It was a blast to play then and the polish was really remarkable for a studio with only one moderately popular IP. Still think it's interesting that this and BOTW came out the same year and had very, very similar post-apocalyptic backstories (and some enemy designs). In any case, playing it three years ago even on a PS4 Pro, I couldn't help but yearn for running it with the full backing of PC hardware.

    So let me cut to the chase, I have been running the latest patch (1.02) without any problems whatsoever being 13 hours into the game at this point. It looks FANTASTIC and my frame-rate is at least average for a heavy game like this in terms of stability. I get 55-70fps (1440p most everything maxxed) most of the time with occasional dips into the 30s and periodic dropped frames, not too unusual but there is room for improvement to be sure.
    I'm running on CPU - Ryzen 2600x GPU - MSI Duke 1080ti 11gb w/ 16gb DDR4
    The dips and drops occur when a lot of models and effects are loaded quickly (i.e when running on a mount into a group of enemies or through a settlement with a lot of NPCs) ; fairly standard hiccups for a graphics heavy game.
    the TLDR: the game has been running phenomenally for me and is more than I could have wished for imagining a PC release while settling for the 30fps on PS4 in 2017. I've read people's performance results have varied substantially especially in previous patch builds of the game. That had not been my experience at all.
    The game itself is a blast, you can read other reviews about the gameplay and graphics. Suffice to say that exploration is fun, combat is very good with a lot of variety in enemy attacks, weaknesses, weapons, and character abilities. The story is more than passable, the world is very large, and most notably, absolutely stunning. This is easily one of the prettiest and artistically stunning games I have ever played on PC.
    The PC performance boo-hoos have been greatly blown out-of-proportion assuming my mainstream PC is fairly representative. If you like action-adventure games and have a decent rig (idk how well this game scales pre-2016/15 hardware) this is absolutely worth checking out.    … Expand

    Графика - отличная. И техническая часть - текстуры, модели и т.д., и визуальный дизайн.
    Сюжет - только начал играть, пока полный идиотизм - у нас есть первобытное племя, которое с помощью луков охотится на гигантских роботов. При том, что у лука пробивная сила околонулевая - чистое фентези. Были бы арбалеты хотя бы с мощной дугой - допустим, там хоть что-то пробить можно, а из лука стрелять по стали - только время тратить, не пробьешь. Ну и сочетание первобытного общества и роботов - лютый идиотизм. Откуда роботы берут энергию, как они ремонтируются и т.д. - никак, магия. Ну и девочка, главная героиня, нашла в заброшенном разрушенном заросшем бункере устройство размером с половину банковской карты, треугольное, толщиной с пять пластиковых карт - и данное устройство конечно же не разрядилось, оно включилось и начало лазерные голограммы пускать метров на 15. Гениально. Физика для лохов, колдунство для пацанов. Сюжет идет от того, что героиня из изгоев и ее притесняют - меня от данной темы блевать тянет, я пропускаю заставки с такой тематикой. СЖВ-говно. Почему изгой, зачем - хз. Разрабы, идите в анус, сами вы изгои. А так - сама героиня нормальная, к ней вопросов ноль.

    Интерактивность мира низкая - следов не остается на снегу или в грязи, ты как бестельный призрак, но мир очень красивый и он открытый. Хотя после Shadow of the tomb raider честно говоря и визуал и нулевая интерактивность очень бьют по глазам. И героиня конечно до Лары даже примерно не дотягивает.

    В целом игра хороша, хоть и довольно много гринда, боевка сложная непонятно зачем. Сюжет идиотский пока, хотя судя по роботам рядом с первобытными людьми - его на что-то адекватное вывести невозможно - наверняка там под землей гигантский комплекс окажется, в который роботы ВСЕ ходят ремонтироваться. И никто конечно гигантский каньон от их ног не видел, ага. Ну и сам комплекс не ломается потому что магия, и источник, питающий сам комплекс - наверно Солнце напрямую. В общем, сюжет заведомо никакой, фентезятина. В целом мир очень слабый, сценаристу дизреспект. Хотя красивый, что есть то есть. Гуманитариям зайдет точно.

    В целом игру советую, пока новых Томб Райдеров нет - вполне себе вариант неплохой. 9 баллов потому что на фоне Томб Райдера и еще некоторых игр игра слаба, но на фоне остального - очень хороша. Ларка стабильно 10, здесь пусть 9 будет    … Expand

The suspense carries this game, as does the consistency of its artistic direction. Unfortunately, there's not much depth to it. More than half of the side quests feel like generic filler and the main quest is often told through little notes and recordings that someone left on the floor somewhere. It feels like their departments did their jobs--the world is big and pretty--but they were missing a side quest designer and writer.

    The young woman's perspective works, and I say that as a middle-aged man. The game is mildly feminist but without being misandristic. Kudos to the writers for pulling that off.

    Stealth combat is fun, but a lot of the other combat is meh. Rotating the camera while switching usable items and weapons is frustrating, as is the fact that Aloy will spontaneously stop running from time to time, and that's usually when you need her to do so most. The dodge function is unlockable, which is okay, but the default key mapping is left Ctrl, which is a bizarre choice. I would have preferred double-tapping WASD like in the Witcher 3.

    The basic concept of the combat is a bit weird. You're a ranged fighter who doesn't run very fast, fighting bullet spongey robots that do. They also gang up on you. Once one cyberanimal detects you, they suddenly all know you're there and they come running.

    I did not encounter the bugs everyone else is talking about. It never crashed on me. One quest looked really nonsensical because of a missing cut scene or something, but most of it seemed to be non-bugged.

    I am inclined to give this a 7, but 2017 was a really bad year for games so I'll be lenient. I won't say I'm looking forward to the sequel because the best part of this game was the suspense. The less you know about it going in the better it is. If they make a sequel the suspense might not be there.    … Expand

    Horizon is an open world game. The main story is interesting, how become the world such like this. The side quests and the tribal societies's actual little problems are not so interesting, but its fine. The world are very beautiful, the sounds of the wild are very good. I feel the athmosphere. The fighting systems are correct. This is an enjoyable game.

    2. Большое количество крутых и разнообразных машин, студия действительно проделала большую работу, создавая всю эту "фауну".
    3. Судя по моему субъективному опыту, игра довольно сильно похожа на Mass Effect и Dragon Age в лучших их проявлениях, что конкретно для меня является большим плюсом.
    4. Отдельно заслуживает внимания DLC Frozen Wilds - еще один пример того, какими должны быть настоящие DLC. Для меня FW ничем не уступает таким DLC как Blood and Wine, Hearts of Stone, DLC, которые были в свое время в Oblivion, Skyrim и т. д.
    5. Шапки. Головные уборы персонажей не хуже, чем в Team Fortress 2, пусть их и нельзя менять.

    Минусы.

    1. В первую очередь это нереально говенная оптимизация на ПК. Как можно было выпустить это? Никто из команды не запускал игру на ПК перед ее выходом?
    2. Местами чувствуется очень слабое раскрытие персонажей и мира в целом - увы, к ним нет сопереживания.
    3. Дополнительные квесты тоже, в большем своем проявлении, скучны и однообразны.
    4. Да и в целом игра скучна, если не проходить сюжетную линию, а выполнять сайды и исследовать мир.
    5. Откровенно слабая экономика и собирательство - разработчики покусились на один из главных столпов РПГ, с врагов не падает лут! То есть падает, но ценные детали с машин и прочие гайки, да шурупы, лутом назвать тяжело.
    6. Этот пункт следует из предыдущего пункта - как следствие отсутствия возможности лутать противников. В игре много малоэффективных оружий, в магазинах у торговцев тоже ассортимент не представлен - деньги фармятся, а покупать нечего. В итоге пробегал почти всю игру с охотничьим луком, который купил где-то ближе к середине игры.

    Подытоживая можно сказать, что игра классная и с большим потенциалом на будущее, очевидно буду ждать продолжения, но... Для того, чтобы поиграть в Forbidden West мне нужно будет купить PS5? Это просто смешно.    … Expand

    Considering that. i wont obviously not review the story etc. but rather the Pc Port itself.

    Well consedering my Hardware and that this is 3 years old
    i was hoping for a smooth 4k Ultra experience. But i have to dial down graphics and scaling on a 2080ti and it still seems to be not very smooth.
    So, not only is the game currently bad optimized it also still has bugs and crashes from time to time. And im not alone with problems like that.
    So no, for a full price game that was released some years ago. I dont reallly like seeing something like this. There are people beside some bugs who dont have problems with crashes. Others cant even start the game. Its 50/50
    So far it looks like lottery if it runs stable and smooth.

    If you have never played this game before, i suggest you buy the game but wait for fixes or lower price, since the game itself is pretty good
    If you are here for the Pc Master Race experience like me and already experienced it before... well i dont suggest it atm.

    Maybe next time release the game in a respectable manner.

    I mean:
    - some skills not working correctly (update FIXED)
    -Many Animations locked at 30fps
    -Fps drops
    -constant crashes (updated mostly fixed)
    -might not even start on some people
    - Movement issue using Keyboard + Mouse (updated Fixed)

    Exploration and combat are, I think, the main selling points of Horizon Zero Dawn. Its open world is a wonderful place to explore and drink in the beauty of painstakingly crafted nature. It is also a great place to hunt robo-sabertooth tigers and cyberized T-Rexes with a very satisfying collection of bow and arrow sets, traps, slings and unfortunately just one spear you can’t even hurl at your enemies. My whole first playthrough, 100+ hours, I wasn’t seduced by the well implemented fast travel system once, it is that much fun to just roam here.

    Maybe I should say a few words about the plot? Because Horizon Zero Dawn definitely has one, and it cares a great deal about it. Unfortunately, I don’t care as much. It didn’t start out that way, though. A lot of the plot is front-loaded and in the beginning, the story of Aloy, the foundling protagonist, and Rost, her adoptive father, is incredibly compelling. But then the world opens up to Aloy and Rost is left behind and a curious thing happens that demonstrates very well the problems of trying to tell a story in an open world game: The plot gets interrupted by long stretches of the player traversing and screwing around with the side content, and during that time, the emotional engagement with the plot flags.

    The characters have the same problem. Aloy starts off characterized very well while interacting with Rost, but when the show gets on the road, she spends most of her time alone or interacting with a cavalcade of strangers, each one foisting his one side quest onto her and then being incredibly impressed when she reports the job as done. That leaves the narrative little opportunity to reveal Aloy’s character, let alone a character arc, and limits all the NPCs to cardboard cutout shallowness.

    I don’t mean to say that the plot is bad. It deals with some very big ideas and weaves a wide tapestry across the entire game world, pulling all the different tribes into a grand saga. It’s just that these 90 minutes of plot are spread out across 100+ hours of gaming, and that none of the characters in it are interesting. The two main villains have not more than 10 minutes of screen time, combined! Seen like this, it’s no wonder the plot doesn’t have much impact on the playthrough.

    The plot does a bit better within the Frozen Wilds Expansion, which takes place in a much smaller area and doles out its plot critical mission in a much smaller time frame. The characters are better written, one or two of them even have an arc, and the hunting up there is exhilarating.

    Still, the plot does do one job right: It provides enough direction for the player that there is always a goal to work towards, a reason to explore the splendid landscape and to engage in glorious combat with the hordes of hostile robots and dastardly villains. Which is where you can find almost endless amounts of fun.

    The art direction and production values contribute a lot to this: Environmental Design is jaw-dropping, enemy design is clever and rewarding, the soundscape is unbelievably immersive. The music keeps to the background, but there are a few atmospheric pieces that resonate wonderfully with the quieter moments of exploration. Most vocal performances are fine, with Ashly Burch and Lance Reddick at the forefront of the pack, but character faces can seem a bit stiff and a bit uncanny.
    Also, if your frustration tolerance has been honed by the From Software oeuvre, I suggest you do choose the ultra hard difficulty for your first playthrough and only reduce it when tackling the hunting grounds. Ultra hard makes travelling from place to place a real challenge, just like all the NPCs always contend.

    All in all, Horizon Zero Dawn is an excellent open world game where you can spend hours upon exhilarating hours hiking through the wonders of nature and hunting challenging foes. And if you ever need a direction to give your adventuring purpose, just look up the current plot quest in the menu.

    TLDR: Top notch exploration, top notch third person combat, gorgeous landscapes, somewhat good story hampered by the open world design of the game. Horizon Zero Dawn is one of the best open world games on the PC right now.    … Expand

    The game may feel a little bit generic and linear at first but when it opens up, it becomes way better. The story is pretty good with some cool twists later on, I don't think I've ever seen a similar story before, but sadly most of the characters are pretty forgettable.

    The gameplay is smooth and fun, very fast paced combat, using the environment against your enemies and hitting the weak spots feels satisfying. There are also different weapons you unlock as you progress, and a decent variety of enemy types.

    Unfortunately though, the side content didn't really surprise me, most side quests are repetitive fetch quests or glorified stronghold liberations, there's no innovation whatsoever.

    It really is a solid game overall, even with its shortcomings, the unique and fresh setting, the very enjoyable gameplay mechanics, the beautiful Open World and the amount of content definitely make this game a very fascinating experience, not the best of its kind but a pretty good one.

    - the story alone is short, if you remove the movements in 10/15 hours you do it, and the holograms do not help to empathize with it;
    - the "broth" is extended by the usual 2-hour walking from point A to point B without doing anything;
    - has a villain that you see for two seconds at the beginning, shows up in the last part, shoots 4 nonsense and disappears (I'm talking about the human warrior, the "machine" is even worse);
    - Useless override of the machine, both as mount and as mechanics.
    As a mechanic at intermediate difficulty levels you don't notice any differences, so kill everyone regardless.
    Maybe you need it on higher difficulty levels, to have a partner to help you.
    I consider the mount useless because you run first, also because at a certain point of the race the car walks, you continue to run, as long as you do not stop of your own free will.

    These flaws do not invalidate the game and do not detract from an extremely good experience.

    Joguei pela primeira vez no dia que o port lançou na steam e estava péssimo. Parecida que eu estava jogando um jogo de polystation. Meses depois, após diversos patches de correção, a Guerrilha mostrou todo o potencial que o jogo tem no PC. A história e o visual são incríveis. Vale a pena, mesmo fora da promoção.

    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]

    Even with its technological hangups, the PC port of Horizon Zero Dawn brings an experience wholly unlike anything else I've ever played.
