    эта игра весьма не понятная да есть открытый мир да хорошая графика но многое не понятно аванпосты вся суть геймплея на лёгкой сложности это бежать до задания и сражатся с кучей роботов легко убивающих тебя

    Расхайпенная унылая соснольная хрень с пустым унылым миром, унылым сюжетом, унылыми одинаковыми доп заданиями.

But if the story is constantly taking you out of the gameplay and the immersion... And while being cringy is so insolent and brazen... You can't constantly just ignore it, it's not a short game (Even if in reality it should be shorter because it works on the same old repeated task gold far cry assassins creed standard way. Because the gameplay loop doesn't need innovation right? Just the looks.). There is only so much "screenwriters being in need of self-adoration" that you can witness before it takes the cake. Just so dumb and not real-life alike it's like the writers don't have real friends or their social life is all smoke and mirrors or something.

    Sorry, but looks aren't everything.    … Expand

    Graphics are stunning and story might be OK, but I couldn't believe the concept and wasn't really interested in what is going on.. played maybe for an hour and got bored away. Not sure how this is entertaining if you played better games before. I am not sure what you have to smoke to enjoy this game. Better to watch National Geographic.

    The game is generic and nothing really innovating. The combat is not fun and the RPG elements of the game is very poorly put together.

    Grande decepção. Finalmente coloquei minhas mãos na edição completa mas parei após o jogo principal.

    The game is boring story not interesting missions are repetitive (go here talk to that kill this come back) filled with sjw conversions.
    Good things are beautiful graphics and the combat system, but the problem is there are no real bosses just a bunch of mini bosses, If you enjoy long boring talks collecting rocks and wood large map with nothing to do this is a game for you.

    Mais um jogo que se preocuparam demais com os graficos e esqueceram de deixar o jogo mais dinamico, o jogo se torna tedioso antes da metade da campanha.

    Bad characters, mediocre plot, bad open world, at best mediocre side quests, grindy economics. People tend to like the game play but its bad. The idea of shooting robots in certain places is fine but the way this idea implemented is just ridiculous. You have to spend a ton of time just to kill even small enemies.

All the cut scenes are: you standing in an empty room and listening some diaries or smth. Honestly i feel like I can write a whole essay on why this game is utter crap.
    If you want a good open world game - better play BotW. If you want good side quests with open world - better play Witcher 3. If you want a good story with open world - better play RDR 2.    … Expand

    Not sure why score is so high. Only thing that keeps me playing is to know what happened that world looks like it looks. For every other piece like fighting, sneaking, climbing, open world activities - there are games that do it better.

    Ok I know I’m in the minority, but this game is simply overrated. You are bombarded with possible outfit, ammo, weapon upgrades but the game never clearly explains them. And then , despite multiple upgrades to multiple systems, you never really have a powerful weapon at your disposal. There are 12 different types of outfits ; yet none of them really protect you.

And then , despite multiple upgrades to multiple systems, you never really have a powerful weapon at your disposal. There are 12 different types of outfits ; yet none of them really protect you.
    I found the script really lacking as well. In the middle of a battle, the main character will mumble some inane comment about the snow that she’s made 100 times already.
    Combat is frustrating. Because the bow often inflicts minimal damage, you find yourself slogging through repetitive melee combat that , frankly, becomes boring.
    The music score is poor, with an annoying electronic thrum each and every of the 10,000 times you need to consult the map/crafting screens.
    The storyline is muddled and bogged down.
    This is a classic case of length/ open world not equaling greatness.
    Give me the 4 hour re3 remake, that actually has a flow and the action all makes sense, rather than 50,000 upgrades that in the end, leave you right back where you started because no one weapon can just put a hole into your enemy.
    People put this game in the same class as games like Zelda BOTW or The Last of us. I’m here to tell you that those games tower above HZD in all aspects.    … Expand

Открытый мир исследовать не интересно и по факту не нужно, он пустой от слова совсем. Плотва не нужна и пешком спокойно можно пробежать. Большая часть навыков практически не играют никакой роли и были вставлены лишь бы вставить. Гринд и фарм кумарили всю игру, искусственное растягивание геймплея игре пошел только во вред. Ей богу, я всю игру пробегал в стандартной броне и со стандартным луком на нормальном уровне сложности, и мне было нормально (и только идиот будет говорить о раскрытии потенциала через самый сложный режим).
    Сюжетная основа годная, фишка потребления органиков роботами сразу выпускает ностальгическую слезу по второму Масс Эффекту. Но при прохождении было куча нелогичностей днищенских. Окей, ученая пожертвовала собой во спасение других, но при этом она взяла на базу идиота, который и возвел Судный День в абсолют, плюс оставила ему какие-то права, отчего этот дебил снова заварил кашу. Реально, просто гениально. Сама главная героиня - типичная баба с яйцами, все может, всесильная и везде сует свой сраный нос. Второстепенные персонажи не раскрыты совершенно, они как были картоном, так им и остались, характер не меняется, как были пустышками в начале, так ими же и остались в конце. Фем подтекст не может не "радовать". Все бабы сильные, независимые, еще и в некоторых областях и у истоков верхушки стоят, а мужики или злодеи, или мудаки, или просто нюни бесхарактерные, никакой половой дискриминации при разработке мира нет-нет-нет. На кой хер ввели возможность выбора в диалогах (фыркнуть, посюсюкать или хладнокровие), если оно ни на что не влияет совершенно?
    Я сильно разочарован игрой, таких похвал она точно не заслуживает. Если бы она не была эксклюзивом, то ей бы точно дифирамб не пели. Однозначно одна из самых переоцененных игр, которые мне доводилось играть.    … Expand

    My biggest problem is the voice acting. Not a single voice actor here is good, they all talk like robots. The dialogue is so cringy, and I feel like an alien that has never interacted with humans before, wrote the script. The dialogue "cutscenes" are awkward as hell, the facial animations is on par with the same emotions furby toys show with their faces. For some reason, the voice actors seems to have a 3second pause between every sentence sometimes, and it was really annoying. I probably skipped 80% of the games dialogue, and I pray to Guerilla, that the sequel will be better, because there is so much potential here.    … Expand

    Horizon is easily one of my favourite game, it has wonderful graphics for a game from 2017 and the fighting mechanic, im in love with it. You have different types of bows, traps, literal flamethrowers, and many more. And the amount of side missions and side content packed into this game is just ginormous.
    For me, this is the definition of must play game for PlayStation.

    The unfortunate fact of Horizon is that most of what it does well, other games have done better, and they did it with a compelling who and where. This is the game you play after you’ve finished The Witcher 3, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate, and Far Cry: Primal. It is the greatest hits compilation of open-world games. Yeah, sure, you might want to own it, but the real connoisseur has the original albums.

    Horizon Zero Dawn has an unforgettable protagonist, world, story, visuals, soundtrack and gameplay. Due to minor issues with inventory management and quest selection, I cannot call it perfect but I can say it is absolutely worth your time.
