    Don't believe the trolls, the game is amazing as the first one. Awesome graphics, story, advanced gameplay - this game gives everything you've been waiting for, If you were pleased with Zero Dawn. Impressive optimization for almost 10 years old hardware, you won't be disappointed - rock-solid 30 fps. Thank you, Guerilla.

    I want to mention the cauldrons, they're so good.

    Thank you Guerrilla for this masterpiece, you can't get less than 10/10.

    Já havia comentado na Review da versão de PS5, mas ver esse jogo rodando da forma está em um PS4 é realmente assustador e inacreditável. Imagine um game com o nível gráfico de The Last of Us 2, porém agora em mundo aberto e com mais coisas acontecendo na tela. Isso é Forbidden West

    The moment you start playing, the impressive visuals just stuns you - the amazing attention to detail everywhere, the lighting, the textures, Aloy's model - it's all simply astonishing!
    I don't miss owning a Ps5 in the slightest with the Ps4 still able to impress with graphics of this level.

    It is so much fun to just run around and explore this beautiful world, doing side missions and hunting machines for useful parts. I instantly got sidetracked and just forgot about the main story for hours, while the world slowly but surely got revealed to me.
    I was hooked for 14 straight days, and thought about the game even when not playing - it is very addicting!

    As with all video games, some slight annoyances are unavoidable, and the climbing is something that instantly comes to mind. it was a bit clunky in the first game, and they improved it somewhat here, but it still is one of my least favorite parts about the game - especially after the climbing I'm used to in Zelda Breath of the wild.
    Melee combat is also still not very rewarding Imo, so I stuck to ranged weapons about 95% of the time, but I didn't miss it much, as using your bow, spears and sling is very fun, and excellently implemented.
    Also, in the heat of combat, Aloy often takes too long to recover when knocked down by machines, which can be frustrating when struggling to take down a challenging machine.

    These are very minor issues, and didn't affect my enjoyment of an otherwise excellent adventure throughout, but still worth mentioning.

    One of the very best games the Ps4 has to offer, and a superb choice for any action/adventure enthusiast. If you're a particular fan of this genre, you'll probably also love this game - highly recommended!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i just love how most of the reviews on here are one day after the game came out, where the ppl could not have possible finished the game and they are giving it a bad review

    just so ppl know i am playing this game on a base PS4 and yes i have seen a few bugs but they are few and far between and have e a few friends that have the game on PS5 and they say the same thing

    the graphics even on a base PS4 are great and from what i have played of the story that is also leading to great things as well i would highly recommend this game to anyone

    EDIT: I have just finished the story to this game and it is very good, after the credits, the world changes to show what you have done in the main story quests which were not in the first game and I think is a good addition can't wait for the 3rd game to come out and see what happens in the story still would highly recommend to anyone

    This was worth the 5-year wait for me. Graphics are beautiful on the PS4 Pro and, so far, no bugs for me 10+ hours in. Smooth and snappy controls and combat is great (better than the first game) as usual. IMHO Guerilla Games knocked this one out the the park.

    Играю на ps4 pro. Картинка по сравнению с HZD сделала огромный шаг вперед. Бой с роботами стал более "живым" и пока кажется сложнее (после прокачки оружия и навыков возможно ощущение поменяются). Квесты стали "объемнее" и более навороченными. Тормозов, лагов пока не ловил. В любой "мясорубке" управление очень отзывчевое.

    Если не играть а изучать картинку с лупой, то можно увидеть графические коллизии, особенно под водой когда сверху пробиваются солнечные лучи. Но это неизбежно, слишком навороченная графика и достаточно слабое на сегодняшний день железо. Но при этом оптимизация на высшем уровне, ничего не тупит. Единственный момент что мне не понравился, это почему то именно в инвентаре плойка начинает идти на взлет, при этом в соседних вкладках как и в самой игре этого нет.

    Historia principal completada
    --------------------

    Cinco años después de Horizon Zero Dawn debutara Guerrilla Games ha creado es una digna secuela.

    APARTADO VISUAL

    El apartado visual es probablemente de lo mejor del juego, tienes un mundo abierto con un montón de paisajes y maquinas, donde te puedes pasar horas observando y jugando, se nota un claro salto grafico pero no exento de ciertos retrasos de carga de texturas (PS4 Slim), también hay que destacar su sistema de escalada, además de las cinemáticas, las cuales son espectaculares y proporcionan una experiencia totalmente inmersiva.

    JUGABILIDAD

    El juego tiene muy buena jugabilidad como su antecesor, pero cabe destacar que han introducido como novedad el buceo que permite disfrutar de los fondos marinos coloridos y experimentar el juego desde otra perspectiva.

    Una cosa que se agradece respecto al anterior titulo es que ahora los viajes rápidos entre hogueras son totalmente gratuitos, lo que permite ahorrarte un par de viajes largos y es de agradecer.

    HISTORIA

    Contexto:

    Seis meses después tras los sucesos de Zero Dawn , los peligros de la tierra no persisten son mucho mayores, lo que le obliga viajar al Oeste Prohibido, para salvar el mundo.

    Opinión:

    Lo malo es que hay misiones que realmente se sentían, ves a este punto consigue algo y vuelve, pero lo realmente divertido es lo que sucede durante las misiones, además se compensa claramente con los increíbles paisajes que te hacen recorrer.

    La historia es un poco continuista con el anterior videojuego y tiene pinta que van a seguir esta trama. Pero me parece una historia bastante buena, al nivel de el anterior videojuego.

    La historia no es relativamente larga ni corta, pero si eres complotista este juego se puede convertir en una larga y tediosa experiencia de mas de 80h o incluso mas de 100h.

    CONCLUSION

    Un gran videojuego, que recomiendo jugar a los que les haya gustado Zero Dawn, me atrevería a decir que es mejor que Zero Dawn, por sus maravillosos paisajes y su increíble escalada además de poder descubrir lo que hay debajo del mar buceando. Aunque que tiene algunos problemas me parece increíble que esto este en una PS4. 100% recomendado.

However with the destruction of the Zero Dawn project and its AI Gaia, Aloy is now on the hunt for a backup of Gaia in order to avert another disaster (or will it?) that takes her to a new part of planet. Additionally, developers Guerrilla Games successfully pay homage to Horizon: Zero Dawn, the first game as they expand the mythology of this universe, including Aloy in their latest epic next-gen blockbuster epic.

    If you are new to the series, its creators give newcomers a great recap of the previous game that starts with a recurrent dream for our protagonist. Furthermore, the narrative at the start nicely explains the events of the first game, including a “light” tutorial of the gaming mechanics, including a handful of difficulty levels. Supporting the engaging story telling are the great in-game cinematics which help bring it all to life as we follow the Saviour of Meridian, including moments of betrayals and even romance! It’s a true PS5 blockbuster in every sense of the word!

    What A Sequel Should Be

    Played on Ps4 pro

    performance - excellent

    environment - gorgeous

    gameplay - improvement in every way from last game

    Machines - they are the star of the show and more and better new additions to forbidden west

    Quest/Characters - I never enjoyed the side quest character interaction so much, the characters look like real life and the expressions are just so natural, Sidequest has been drastically improved compared to the last game

    Controls - controls could be better mapped which is my only gripe with the game

    Photo mode - this is a blessing for photo enthusiast or even causal gamers, I personally love it

Seriously, why in heck a PSN login gotta do with the score in this game? Its outrageous seeing a 7 score for this masterpiece. And why do they keep thinking the visual make this game a score of 0?

    This game is the like an upgraded version from the first, it got all the improvement from the first. Eg the conversation from the first is like a doll and robot, this one is like a movie scene. I never skip any new conversation. The skill and the new battle visual is stunning! Like a battle from GOW.

    There’s even a mini chess like game, but,, kinda hate it but for a Horizon style it still great.

    A must have if you like RPG style of game, exploring, hunting ducks rats and bird!, upgrading, battling with challenging robot. And... finding that weak spot to ease the battle. Thanks for this game, i payed full and worth every single penny of my wallet.

    Please give this game a chance because you’re doing yourself a disservice if you don’t because of spiteful people giving it a zero out of ten just because it’s a PlayStation exclusive.

The game also seems to balance out the skill required to play, so I can highly recommend Horizon Forbidden West for everyone. Expand

    Хорошее продолжение первой части, сочные и потные бои с роботами как в монхане в высокой сложности, круто поставленные диалоги которые способствуют погружению, местами с юмором.
    На ps4 работает почти без нареканий, к сожалению иногда наблюдаются пропажи текстур и элементов мира в зависимости от расстояния и это довольно заметно, но в целом это не бросается в глаза. Был только один

    Единственно что омрачает - большее количество негров чем в первой части, хоть это и оправдано лором игры.

    There’s nothing wrong with learning from your competitors, but what’s the point of copying stuff that’s mocked even by Ubisoft fans? Hopefully, next time Guerrilla will focus more on Horizon’s own strengths: unique world and mechosaurs that are so fun to take apart. [Issue#259, p.72]

    If you liked Zero Dawn, you will probably enjoy Forbidden West, even though the sequel lost that pioneering spirit and Aloy stopped developing as a character.

    Horizon Forbidden West embraces everything about its predecessor and makes strides in producing an even more compelling world to explore, with intense combat and story moments, and shiny new robo-dinosaurs to punch in the face. I cannot wait to see where Aloy and her companions’ story goes next.
