    I really tried to like it and it has some very good ideas, but at the same time it fell flat in almost everything. Robots were great, graphics very solid for 2017, but story was extremely meh. I feel like this game is extremely overrated. Even nude mod for Aloy (on PC) didn't make me care to go back, that's how boring this game feels. World is way too much packed together, you can hardlyI really tried to like it and it has some very good ideas, but at the same time it fell flat in almost everything.

World is way too much packed together, you can hardly go anywhere and you are already in your waypoint. There's no great distances between places. Maybe second one will be better, time will tell, but i will never go back to play first one.… Expand

    Played this on PS5. Very impressed with the graphics and production values.
    I also enjoyed the game mechanics and combat - this was great.
    HOWEVER, the story was just absolutely painful. It was very obviously contrived just to create an excuse for the robot dinosaurs/wildlife they wanted to put into the game. I found myself totally dis-interested after a couple of hours, and found    Played this on PS5. Very impressed with the graphics and production values.

    I found myself totally dis-interested after a couple of hours, and found no reason to keep playing.
    While the world looked great - it really did not feel at all immersive to me. There was certainly not the "go-anywhere" feeling you get from the great open world games like Skyrim or Zelda BOTW. It becomes clear quickly that you can only go where the developers have allowed you to.
    Furthermore - there is the mindless loop of gameplay of treading from location to location, watching a cut-scene (totally breaking any immersion as it is from cinematic angles), choosing from dialog options, etc. etc.
    I am really suprised by the high scores this gets.    … Expand

    Playing Horizon Zero Dawn on PlayStation 5 is such an excellent experience that it made me excited for the upcoming Forbidden West and keep in mind; I rarely get excited for upcoming games. If you still haven't played it yet, I wholeheartedly recommend it.
