    Graphics and open world do not save this game when the voice delivery in game play is far more as important as writing. The writing is very well done, but the voice acting is atrocious. Even when Aloy is angry.

    The game is great for its genre, however it is not very original, so you will love it if you have not played a lot of action adventures/soft-RPGs before but if you're very experienced in this kind of gaming you might find it repetitive/a sequel/another of the same for a large part of it.

    Nice, big, beautiful game. Great idea and building of the story. But game-play sometime is too tedious and repetitive.

    Played the whole thing on steam deck, ran great.
    The gameplay isn't great, you have loads of weapons but none of them are good. The open world is basic and the stealth system is bad.
    The lore is good but could be told better

    First of all, I don't like so many exploration games, and for me, it was a pain. Even though the game is very nice in terms of art design, gameplay, and RPG elements, The world is amazing, the gameplay is nice, and he deserves one of the best games on Sony's console.

    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.
