    Port pra PC não foi dos melhores. História muito bem construída, personagens carismáticos porém gameplay começa a ficar um pouco enjoativa do meio pro final. Tive que rushar muito o jogo pra conseguir finalizar.

    Rather boring experience, not fun open world, story felt like assassins creed which means empty, without emotions. Cool combat though.

    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.

    One of the most interesting settings I've ever seen in a videogame, tribal humans fighting against robotic dinosaurs in a post apocalyptic world full of danger, this game is gorgeous, from the graphics to the worldbuilding, it's pure eye candy.

    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.

    A lifeless and uninspiring game that fails to create a captivating world; repeated visuals, robotic NPCs, repetitive gameplay mechanics, and lack of engaging content make it an empty and soul-crushing experience. I am putting this on the permanent shelf of bad purchases.

    Good But Not Great

    Horizon Zero Dawn is a good game with a lot to offer but it is not without its flaws in terms of combat and writing. I'd like to start off by listing what I felt was great about the game as there is a lot to love about it. Firstly the world that they have built is truly remarkable, for me it's on par with the likes of Death Stranding. There is a lot going on in    Good But Not Great

    Horizon Zero Dawn is a good game with a lot to offer but it is not without its flaws in terms of combat and writing.

    I'd like to start off by listing what I felt was great about the game as there is a lot to love about it.

    Firstly the world that they have built is truly remarkable, for me it's on par with the likes of Death Stranding. There is a lot going on in the world lorewise that happens way before Aloy's adventure even begins and the way this is portrayed to you is rather enjoyable.
    I'm a big fan of passive storytelling as well, although the game doesn't go as hard on it as maybe Souls Games do, and a lot of the basic story is presented to your narratively as you progress. However the amount of data banks, audio recordings that you can pick up and read of your own volition really adds layers to the story and allows you to get a much deeper understanding of the world and how it came to be.

    Graphically the game is phenomenal, even five years on. Going into different environments and watching the colour palette change almost entirely really adds to the fantasy and sci-fi elements of the game. It's very colourful and is amazing to get lost in and just take in the sights and landscapes. To me it is very clear that a lot of love went into the world design.

    On top of that, even just small details like how Aloy reacts to her environment as you're walking or running is a great touch. For example if she's scaling a steep hill, for a moment she might lean down on all fours and run up for a step or two, it's a small detail but it's realistic and one I noticed. The other one being that when you're in a high-up snowy environment, you might see her holding on to her upper arms to warm them as she runs. This, to me, just made Aloy feel a lot more like a real person, even with just these subtle additions.

    The Combat with the machines is probably where this game shines. There are many different machines running around and they all have different move sets and parts to break off and weak points. A fight with a Watcher is significantly different than that of a Thunderjaw or a Stalker. Before long you learn exactly which points to attack to make your fight easier. It all feels very dynamic and is a lot of fun.

    The Lore for the "Metal World" is definitely the best part of the story. Learning how things came to be and how the world was before it is now is absolutely 100%, for me, the most compelling and gripping parts of the narrative. Seeing how things were before, how people reacted to different events, that's what made me want to continue on. I'm a sucker for "Lore" and "Prequel" type storytelling and I personally think it's great that the development team have basically made two fleshed out worlds, the one that came before and the one that we play in.

    There are a few issues with the game which bothered me probably more than I'd like to admit.

    Firstly, fighting with other humans is genuinely the most tedious and boring combat I've encountered in a triple A game. There was nothing exciting about fighting human enemies and they sponge way too many hits if you ask me and there are always far -far- too many at any given time. You can approach it stealthily but the stealth in the game vs humans isn't that great at all. I felt like they could've done a better job with this, rather than just arrow sponging one-dimensional "Run and hit you" or "Run away and shoot you" AI.

    Learning how the different bows work isn't obvious, as well as the statuses and resistances. I never bought a Sling for my entire playthrough and never felt the need to, perhaps that's my bad and it could've made my experience better but it's not obvious what different bows do until you've already invested and played around with them.

    The Side quests, bar a few, were unbelievably boring. I did not care even the slightest about any of the problems that the people of the world were facing. I felt that there was no investment to help over half of these people and the missions themselves weren't too great and the rewards weren't exactly note-worthy. I did struggle to care about the plight of the people that -didn't- relate to the machines or the main storyline.

    The Parkour/Climbing aspect of the game felt lacking, to say the least. Places that look like they should be easily scalable with a dynamic movement system simply aren't. Instead it's all rope holds and handholds which stick out like a sore thumb. Perhaps I've just played too much of the modern Assassin's Creed games to expect this, but sometimes trying to find those footholds that are "Natural" and not the bright yellow ones, is a bit of a pain.

    Main story is exciting when relating to the machines, side quests are boring, combat is phenomenal.    … Expand

    2- Story is very bland and repetitive.
    3- Enemies are repetitive with a little bit of change to attacks and looks. (Some robot animals' kind of makes sense) but others are like assembled by a kid who just wants some rockets and lasers.

    5-This game has a hint of Modern feminism if you're into that.
    6- Conversations are not seamless and facial expressions are unnatural.
    7- You will die if you fall in Snow even though She is highly skilled in parkour.
    Got this from an expert explaining what parkour roll means:
    Rolling helps in parkour rolling help break a long fall because it dissipates kinetic energy.

    When you roll, you transferring force going downwards into force going forwards.

    This means that most of the force generated from a long fall force from landing isn’t being absorbed by your joints and bones.

    It’s transferred into the parkour roll.

    The force that isn’t transferred into the parkour roll is distributed throughout your body instead of it being absorbed by your legs only.

    This happens because when you roll, you increase the impact area, on your body, of the force that’s generated from a long fall.

    This allows you to break a long fall. And protect your joints and bones.

    Fight Science had an episode where they tested the parkour roll:)
    Really don't get it why she always dies on heights that she can survive without taking damage.

    8- Exploring does not make anything interesting because you will just expect the same thing over and over again.

    I guess this type of Ubisoft format type of game is not for me.    … Expand

The main character turns out to literally be "the key to everything", and while they did not bother explaining how someone with zero muscles can be the amazing fighter and parkour expert, pulling off leaping grabs that should dislocate her shoulder (making her fall and die), they did make sure to repeat how amazing she is, over and over. Luckily you can skip most of the story when it starts to get woke. If you do not, and you actually pay attention, the main driving mission ends up making absolutely no sense functionally. They toss technobabble at it, but it does not actually work. If they could do what they claim, they could easily have stopped the bots themselves. They even manage to break a lot of their world building by the end.

    One other major issue are the bugs. Some center around the camera, especially in tight spaces. But the two largest are the inability to lock onto an enemy for melee combat, and the ridiculous number of ways to get stun-locked by enemies, making any encounter with more than three robot dinos and exercise in frustration. More minor is that enemy bots will ignore enemy NPC to focus on you, and at times they will even detect you without line of sight (or using bot radar).    … Expand

    medicinal herbs , you have a good variety of bows , armor and a lot of other tools , but of course the game isn't only flowers (let's keep in mind that this review is aimed at the pc version but since the ps4 version is way better in terms of performance we can deduce that every negative aspect will be better in the console version and every positive aspect will be better to) the only flaws this game have is the graphical issues , some texture bugs , shadow bugs and a lot of stutering , but the game is super enjoyable whatsoever , the soundtrack its amazing and after spending 50 hours only in the main story i found my self with an expression of "wow" after seeing the end of the game while the soundtrack was giving me chills in the credits , i recommend this game for every person who likes a good story specially a story that was thought out of the box , this game is 8/10 MINIMUM!

    I loved everything about the game. The visuals, level design, the plot (a little predictable for some part tho), the whole atmosphere of the world...
    Mixing pre-historical elements with high-tech seemed far-fetched but it all made sense in the end. Great main characters. The amount of lore is awesome. I was truly immersed in a new world and was very pleasantly surprised.

    The game also has some flaws, that are:
    - 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.

    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

Oh, sorry I mean a port of a game lauded for being amazing by players who were only playing it coincedentally because it happened to be locked away on the Playstation 3 and 4 respectivelly. Having come out way, way back in 2017, its fairly dated and plays a lot like just about anything else that came out from the same time. It however does have a few saving graces.

    Being open-world, and some sort of amalgalmation of all the least bit annoying parts of the new "Tomb Raider" reboots, you do see a lot more of an action focus in Horizon. Alloy controls well, the combat system is efficient, the artificial intelligence mostly accomplishes what it set out to do, and you have loads of space to move around or plan out what you want to sans "Far Cry 3." The glowing accolades something like "Horizon - Zero Dawn" gets versus what it really deserves are difficult to truly discern at times though. The giant robot dinosaurs are well-designed and fun to fight, but are incapable of leaving their "designated areas," so to speak. This is just a limitation of the engine and the console it was developed for of course, but it does reveal some obvious cracks along the edges of a mostly pristine ornamental antique vase in terms of the mechanics.

    Graphically it looks fine, character animations are usually the biggest issue as scripted or auto-generated animations for dialogue look terrible, and the voice acting leaves a lot to be desired even within the context of the orchestrated cutscenes. The DLC did go about this with motion capture, and those dialogue sequences between minute or major characters look fantastic, but obviously this couldn't be done in the original game given that their are just too many side quests and NPC's to talk to.

    Horizon's biggest hurdle is that the game is too large. Stop me if this sounds ridiculous, but the general plot is maybe 6-8 hours long, maybe and that's only if you don't know where everything is. This leaves a huge 50+ hours of just faffing about and doing mostly pointless or derivative (even boring) sidequests that don't actually contribute much to the overall story, but do unlock some things that might make the game a bit less challenging or tedious throughout. Trouble is, the difficulty (at least one notch below Ultra hard) doesn't warrant the unbelievable size of the world or all the pointless things filled in it to just "do" for the sake of doing. Incorporating the same generic fetch quests found in RPG's, collecting XP points for upgrades, having to pick up loads of items to craft or upgrade weaponry, and looking for giant mechanical giraffes to show you parts of the map you probably won't explore unless you need something are literally not new concepts by any means. They've been done to death and add nothing to overall "experience." Why Alloy even has extra abilities that break the game or aren't learned from other characters is a total mystery to me, but this is just how open-world crafting action games are designed nowadays.

    I think the presentation is fairly dull, the story being decent, but not exactly nuanced in any respect, and of course its limited in the way its told to the player due to the medium its constrained on. The final boss, after the final boss is literally a random person who we only randomly hear about a couple of times in the plot. The random narration by Alloy is also pretty obnoxious. One would think an exile raised by a man from birth would've learned to have talked a little less than any average woman, but they obviously had extra voice lines recorded for some reason. Alloy isn't a good character. She is courageous, she is perfect at fighting, she never misses her bow shots, she is tough, everyone loves her immediately, she has no flaws, and every man in the game is in love with her. Its ridiculous. The original debate with her character design was extremely lame too, where they basically took a fantastically pretty woman and then changed the 3D model's face in-game to look uglier. Probably so they could get more ugly women's boyfriends to buy the game perhaps? Who knows. Women don't play videogames anyway, so I don't know who Alloy was made for.

    Personally, I think the game is fun in every regard except for the upgrade system, the fact that traveling to "DLC land" early can allow you to obtain the best weapons in the game (as is subsequently not hard to do at all on most difficulties), the fact that Alloy merely gets so overpowered that nothing can touch her later on, the fact that they dump salvage on you constantly, the fact that you need to pick up everything in a 10 mile radius, the fact that weapon mods are broken, the fact that the stealth armors are all broken and the collision detection is extremely wonky on many, many, many targets- including human enemies. The story is also barely there and the music is quaint, but not memorable.    … Expand

    Pros.
    -Beautiful world.
    -Combat against the machines is a lot of fun.
    -Great lore.

    Cons.
    -Cringey villains.
    -Annoying characters.
    -Boring open world despite how good it looks.
    -Terrible melee combat.
    -The story could have been good but for the most part it feels like a bargain bin YA novel turned into a game.

    Но прошло время и после игры у меня осталось только хорошие ощущения от этой игры.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have many things to talk about this game. If you like long reviews, you are gonna like this one.

    First of all, the graphics and the performance. I had many issues, even though I played 1.08 version and my PC isn't so bad (i5-10400 and RX 580). The performance of this game really sucks, some places my FPS just dropped to 10, especially in a city called Merdiana. Also, there are many bugs in the textures and texture flickering, sometimes I couldn't even see the ground I was walking on. So it really bothers me.

    And the graphics are horrible, sometimes was like a PS2 game, I think it is because the textures are bugged but since it is 1.08 version it is simply unforgivable. So my score is 1/10.

    The combat of this game is a mixed experience. It is really original, you fight against machines using a bow with different types of arrows (elemental arrow, tear arrow, corrupted arrow, etc). Alloy uses her Focus to identify the weakness of the machine and utilizing the right combination of arrows, for instance using a fire arrow to overheat a machine and expose its radiator to destroy it and inflict massive amounts of damage on the machine or shooting an arrow on the "flame cylinder" to explode it. Killing a large machine that way is definitely cool and the design of the machines is breathtaking.

    But one thing that bothered me is how useless is Alloy at melee combat, her damage is practically zero and even the enemy humans deal massive damage but Alloy needs to use her arrows no matter what. I am not a big fan of just shooting arrows or using fire weapons over and over, for me melee combat is pretty much always more fun, no wonder I didn't like so much the combat experience in this game, so for me, it is 6.5/10.

    About the stealth mechanics, it is 5/10. The game has a mediocre stealth system, you can't carry the bodies of the enemies you kill (even the humans). Also, you don't have many options of takedown and you can't stealth kill everything, so it is pretty much impossible to clear a place 100% in stealth, the game really forces you to use the arrows.

    The story of the game is good but the narrative is horrible. I'll explain, the story is about a machine apocalypse that is ok, it was kinda obvious I theorized it at the beginning of the game. The main issue in this game story is that there is not even one charismatic character. The two only characters that I find the most charismatics died in the first hour of this game.

    And the way the story is told, it is always disgraces happening over and over, there is no pause time to appreciate the impact of the changes in the life of the characters. For instance, at the beginning of the game, Alloy was born already as an outcast of the tribe, she can't even talk with the tribe members, so she must pass the probation ritual to join the tribe. It is shown that many tribe members dislike her because she is an outcast, a boy even threw a rock on her when she was a child. When she finally joins the tribe to do the probation ritual, it is one of the most interesting situations in the game, the boy (now teenager) and many more dislikes her, but she managed to befriend a girl that seems cool and she had another friend that she saved his life many years ago. That dynamic was interesting, I thought Alloy would have to prove her worth to the tribe and make them respect her, but no, in the blink of an eye, the villain's gang kill the teenager that hates her and the girl that she befriend and even her adoptive father and consequently killed all this cool dynamic.

    So, Alloy has to set on an adventure to discover who is her mother and she discovers that she is a clone and her mother saved the world and now she needs to save. But, in this story, it is like I said, there is no charismatic character and only disgrace happens. There is no single time in this game that Alloy is drinking with friends or having fun, it is 24/7 disgraces over and over. She just thinks in discovering who is her mother and after that saves the world and even her "partner" Sylens managed to be even more unidimensional than Alloy, his only wish is to learn every knowledge of the world.

    Also, the villain is just a machine, so it is also very unidimensional and just a cheap villain overall. Even the human villains have ridiculous motivation.

    So for me, the story is just 5.5/10.    … Expand

    Гринди, гринди, гринди, гринди, иначе ты не сможешь вести затяжной бой, ведь начальные сумки на всё крайне малы(привет FarCry)!

    Переоцененный эксклюзив на плойку.
    Игра средняя во всем, кроме графики - игра выглядит красиво. Все остальное выполнено довольно паршиво.
    Открытый мир почти полностью пуст: ~5 вышек для открытия карты, ~5 вышек с бандитами, ~5 более-менее оригинальных и даже немного интересных данжей и все. Маловато контента. Побочные задания - это позор. Все побочки выполнены по шаблону: нужно помочь    Переоцененный эксклюзив на плойку.

    Побочные задания - это позор. Все побочки выполнены по шаблону: нужно помочь -> идем в зону задания -> включаем ведьмачье чутье -> сканируем местность -> находим следы -> идем по следам -> убиваем мобцов -> сдаем задание.
    Боевая система очень примитивная и легкая, всю игру можно пройти одним луком с двумя видами стрел, а другие виды оружия понадобятся только на испытаниях.
    Персонажи не запоминаются, я только прошел игру а уже не могу вспомнить ни одного имени кроме гг игры. Сама главная героиня какая-то странная, она будто сбежала из какой-то детской сказки, всем хочет помочь и победить главное зло, вся такая "ути-пути, тебе не нужна помощь? А, ты вор? Ну ничего страшного, я же всем помогаю".
    Еще разработчики решили в последние 2 часа игры навалить штук 100 записок и аудиозаписей, соболезную всем, кто все это читает и слушает, ведь 95% всего этого - просто вода и бесполезная информация.

    Beautiful but very mediocre open-world game with Ubisoft formula and bland side-quests.

    UPDATE: After playing more with and experimenting with different traps and seeing more machines I realized that the combat vs machine is much more deeper and fun then I originally thought, so I grew to like it. Combat with humans is still kinda lame tho. But overall this game went from 6/10 to 8/10 for me.    … Expand

    Great story, great characters design. Great nature, and electro-dinos. Too boring after leaving first village. Odyssey, Origin, Valhalla - were repetetive but not boring. Maybe HZDown hasnt good fighting and AI quality system. Conquering camps a specially - weak. I have one copy on PS4 and one PC. I've hated PS4 for gamepad - so terrible, a specially shooting birds. PC with mouse isnt problem.

    Absolutely loves this game!
    The story, setting, vibe, combat and stealth mechanics - everything.
    The graphics are stunning, and it runs so smooth.
    To me, it compares to FarCry 3 / Skyrim - but does it even better IMO.
    I feel emerged in the story, the lore/back story is unfolding - love it!

    This game is very beautiful !
    But , it looks generic & boring . Gameplay is repetitive and boring .
    This game feels like a "TOMB RAIDER" copy with "Assassin's creed" environment.
    Just play this game for the visuals . Story is boring and really not good .
    Better play this on play station , on pc there are serious optimization issues.

I have never seen this bad combat in my entire life. I've been playing games for 10 years and this game has the worst combat of all.

    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]
