    Un juegazo. Su historia es digna de una obra maestra, gráficamente excelente con algunos detalles negativos en las conversaciones en dónde se nota un efecto boque muy exagerado en el fondo. El combate contra las máquinas es excelente pero contra humanos no tanto. Siendo honesto la nota sería un 85 pero teniendo en cuenta la comunidad tóxica que viene a ponerle 0s toca equilibrarla

    HZD is very reminiscent of The Witcher 3, but with future graphics and fluid movement. It does not have the story that The Witcher has nor the soundtrack so good. But it is an excellent game, very well SONY.

    Well only great things,it's story packed alot of punch and emotion,early on you get attached to those around you in the game

    Aloys story is one of redemption ,once an outcast turned hero,the games story is definitely a must play and would recommend to anyone

    Graphically speaking the game is a technical marvel, gorgeous to look at,the fact this was managed on the ps4 is nothing short of incredible

    It has some side activities usually found in games like this,akin to farcry you have tallnecks (outpost towers in farcry) that give you a lay of the land and allow you to open up more of the map

    Collectibles ranging from statues,vantage points,training dummies to destroy

    It's hunting grounds are a test of your skill with various equipment and environmental surroundings

    Definitely worth a 10 score and everyone with a ps4/5 needs to play this game

    The major mechanic of this game is to hunt and take down robot machine animals. However the story line quickly engages you towards solving the mystery and what I absolutely love about it is the range of weapons, outfits and tools that you have available which makes the combat feel very personal.

    I didn't feel the emotions of the characters. the characters always showed the same expression when they were scared, sad, crying. I deducted 1 point because of these . The other point I broke is due to the fact that the control of the mounts is not comfortable.

    Good game. Melee combat is lacking, but ranged compensates a ton for it. Story isn't bad, but the best part is fighting giant robot dinosaurs. You can shoot individual pieces off of these enemies to disable their weapons and chip them down.

    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.

    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.

    Final Rating: "Great" ~ 8/10.

Desarrollado por Guerrilla Games y exclusivo para la consola PlayStation, este título de acción y aventuras ha sido aclamado por su historia apasionante, su mundo abierto impresionante y su jugabilidad emocionante.

    Uno de los aspectos más sobresalientes de Horizon Zero Dawn es su fascinante y original premisa. El juego te lleva a un futuro distante donde la humanidad ha caído y la naturaleza ha reclamado la Tierra. Te pones en el papel de Aloy, una cazadora habilidosa y curiosa que se embarca en un viaje para descubrir la verdad detrás del antiguo mundo y su conexión con las temibles máquinas animales que ahora dominan la Tierra. La historia te mantendrá enganchado desde el principio hasta el final, con giros inesperados y un misterio cautivador que se desvela a medida que avanzas.

    El mundo abierto de Horizon Zero Dawn es impresionante en su escala y belleza. Desde vastas praderas hasta desiertos áridos y bosques exuberantes, cada rincón del mapa está meticulosamente diseñado y lleno de detalles. La diversidad de los entornos te dejará asombrado y te invitará a explorar cada rincón en busca de secretos y tesoros ocultos. Además, el ciclo dinámico del día y la noche y las condiciones climáticas cambiantes le dan vida al mundo y crean una atmósfera inmersiva.

    La jugabilidad de Horizon Zero Dawn es emocionante y desafiante. Aloy puede utilizar una amplia variedad de armas y herramientas para enfrentarse a las máquinas, desde arcos y flechas hasta trampas y explosivos. El combate contra las máquinas es estratégico y satisfactorio, con cada enemigo presentando debilidades y comportamientos únicos. Además, el juego te ofrece la posibilidad de utilizar tácticas sigilosas para acechar y eliminar a tus enemigos de manera silenciosa.

    Otro aspecto positivo de Horizon Zero Dawn es su sistema de progresión y personalización. A medida que avanzas en el juego, puedes mejorar las habilidades de Aloy, obtener nuevas armas y equipo, y crear modificaciones para mejorar tu desempeño en combate. Esta progresión te permite adaptar tu estilo de juego a tus preferencias y te da una sensación gratificante de crecimiento y poderío.

    Los gráficos en Horizon Zero Dawn son impresionantes. Los detalles en las máquinas, los paisajes y los efectos visuales son asombrosos, lo que sumerge completamente al jugador en el mundo del juego. Además, la música y los efectos de sonido crean una atmósfera inmersiva y complementan la acción y la emoción del juego de manera magistral.

    En resumen, Horizon Zero Dawn es un juego que no puedes dejar pasar si eres amante de la acción y las aventuras. Su historia cautivadora, su mundo abierto impresionante, su jugabilidad emocionante y su apartado visual deslumbrante hacen de este título una experiencia inolvidable. Si estás considerando adquirir una consola PlayStation, Horizon Zero Dawn es una razón más que suficiente para hacerlo, ya que es un exclusivo que demuestra el poder y la calidad de los juegos que se pueden disfrutar en ella. Prepárate para sumergirte en un viaje épico y descubrir los secretos de Horizon Zero Dawn.

    + Storytelling and lore of the world is just captivating
    + Environments look absolutely stunning
    + Machine design and combat is satisfying and rewards creativity
    + Controls are excellent

    - Soundtrack is unmemorable and really could have enhanced the bigger moments
    - Combat with human enemies is underdone and pretty lame
    - Lazy side-quests

    The first time I have seen a trailer for Horizon Zero Dawn was 2 years go. It possibly also was the first trailer released. And the moment I saw Aloy running around in a colourful world full of plants and that consists of a mix of past and future elements I wanted to have it.

    The first time I have seen a trailer for Horizon Zero Dawn was 2 years go. It possibly also was the first trailer released. And the moment I saw Aloy running around in a colourful world full of plants and that consists of a mix of past and future elements I wanted to have it.

    And it was worth the wait.

    I immediately thought of what the story was about. And overall I was right. The story might not be something overly unique but it is very well told and should be able to get you emotionally, especially as sometimes the music and atmosphere does the rest. Where often I listen to some of the more calm scores and they sound so sad, it just fits this time and theme. The open world-action RPG style is very good and works fine. It is nothing completely new. Nothing in this game is completely new. But there are gazillions of games; really everything that we see in a game will at least somewhat remind us of something. And Horizon at least has its own or not so common spin on things.
    The world is really great to look at. I might say though, while indeed it is big it is not nearly as big as people might think. And what we thought of as climb-able - well, no, not everything is climbable. That has something to do with the fact that not every spot in flagged to be ciimbed (some of them can still be jumped up to but not really everything as far as no glitches are concerned) and of course very often when you see another big mountain or part of an area you will very much notice that you cannot enter or climb higher. Why is that? Well, it is the end of the world map. And as long as you don't insist to do an out of bounds glitch that stuff is not for you. But the world is fine as it is - except for the flagging thing; It really should have more flag-to-climb-spots. There is enough to do in this game, whether you just want to run around and explore, do your side stuff or find out more about the main story - and the data logs for finding out more about the past also are somewhat interesting and help showing you how alive this world is and what it all was about, even if it is just about smaller details of people that are dead for a long time.

    Aloy is just one great main character and I cannot wait to see more of her in the obviously coming sequel.

Sadly if you skip some of the dialog or abandon message, you kinda will find yourself hard to understand the plot as a whole.

    Gameplay : Spear, arrow, traps, auto toothpick shooter (?), and so much more! The combat that developers put in this game is so well thought that we as players won't be bored playing it for several months.

So here is my review: this game is one of the best games ever in the history of gaming. New thrilling captivating story where you don’t know wtf is happing until second part of the game. Amazing graphics for a PS4 era, beautiful open world and awesome main cast. Strong independed young female woman (if someone doesn’t know what a woman is they can remind themself of basic biology classes in elementary school). So all in all, I enjoyed this game so much I platinumed it and beat twice. Shame is became woke garbage with last dlc.

    Nice gameplay and rpg mechanics, great graphics, decent story and lore. Love the protagonist, although I didnt care that much about the other characters. The choice of dialogue didnt seem to have much impact unfortunately except for slightly changing some lines. I wish the final boss was stronger or had different phases. The extension is nice.

    The things that are interesting to me in this game is the game map. There are all kinds of ecosystems in the game map, green forests, mountainous areas, desert areas, etc. and another thing that is interesting to me in this game is the combat strategies of the game. Aloy's blood capacity and how you will fill Aloy's blood capacity after each hit, or your fighting system with enemies... you can almost say that this game has no fixed algorithm for fights and the final tactics in the fight depends on the player himself. Guerrilla has only set some general rules in crafting items and how to fill Aloy's blood and fighting system.

    And finally, I enjoyed this game and I give this game a green vote because this game really deserves a good score.

    I came to Horizon: Zero Dawn late—several years late, in fact. It wasn't until a buddy of mine turned me on to the game that I even knew it existed.

    I came to Horizon: Zero Dawn late—several years late, in fact. It wasn't until a buddy of mine turned me on to the game that I even knew it existed.

    The concept seemed a bit strange, if intriguing. As an epic fantasy writer, I naturally tend toward fantasy settings, and though Horizon is solidly science fiction, it felt like sci-fi treated with fantasy gloves. Machine hunting via bow and arrow, different elements acting almost as a magic system, a tribalistic, naturalistic society—I was quickly convinced this could be a game I enjoyed.

    Boy, did I underestimate how much I'd love it.

    First off, the visuals are absolutely stunning. From the environment to the lighting to the characters and machines, they all contribute to make this version of Earth a fantastical place indeed.

    Then there's the gameplay. I'd never played anything like it, nor have I still (other than its sequels). It's dynamic, exciting, challenging, yet ultimately rewarding while refraining from being frustrating (unless I've chosen to challenge myself with the ridiculously difficult hard modes). Even having played Forbidden West now, Zero Dawn holds its own in terms of combat.

    But what really makes the game have a lasting impact are its characters and relationships, and its world steeped in stories. Aloy herself is a poignant and enthralling character. From the first moment we follow her as a child, I was invested in this inquisitive, competent, and tough individual. I think often of her discovery in the ruins ("Daddy sure does love his little big man.") and how it touches on the thing she's missing most at that point in time: a sense of belonging.

    Aloy's character development doesn't slow down for the rest of the story, either. You have to admire her tenacity as she takes on her society, then the world at large, never slowing no matter the setback she faces. In fact, I love her character so much she was the inspiration for a protagonist in one of my books, The Last Ranger.

    There are only a few things that hold back Horizon: Zero Dawn for me, and they're fairly minor. I'll admit to tiring of some of the repetitive side aspects to the game, and some of the side quests were less enthralling than others. But none of these truly detract from this towering success of a game.

    If you haven't played Horizon: Zero Dawn yet, do yourself a favor and snatch up a copy. You're in for the adventure of a lifetime.

    One of the best looking open worlds, engaging and frantic combat, fun mechanics and side quests, Horizon has everything you could want in a large blockbuster PlayStation title. While it took some time for me to fully get into the combat and story, putting the necessary time into this game proves to be immensely rewarding. An amazing and lengthy experience overall.

Set in a post-apocalyptic future where humans live in primitive tribes and robotic creatures roam the land, the game tells the story of Aloy, a young hunter who sets out on a quest to uncover the secrets of her past and save her world from an impending threat.

    The game's combat is one of its strongest features, with a wide variety of weapons and tools at your disposal, and different approaches to take on each enemy. The stealth mechanics are particularly well-implemented, allowing you to set traps and sneak up on enemies to take them down with precision.

    But what sets Horizon Zero Dawn apart is its rich and compelling story, which explores themes of identity, technology, and humanity. The characters are well-written and the voice acting is superb, with a standout performance from Ashly Burch as Aloy.

    The game is not without its flaws, however. Some of the side quests can feel a bit repetitive, and the game's crafting system can be overwhelming at first. The controls also take some getting used to, especially in the heat of combat.

    Overall, Horizon Zero Dawn is an epic adventure that offers hours of thrilling gameplay, breathtaking visuals, and a deep and engrossing story. It's not without its flaws, but its strengths far outweigh them. For anyone looking for a standout open-world experience on the PS4, Horizon Zero Dawn is an absolute must-play. 9/10.

    This is a memorable and beautiful game, and worth buying a PS4 to play.

    Simple crafting and RPG/ skills elements make it a little deeper than some other open world games.

    Machine combat, which is most of the enemies, is excellent. It always feels fair and makes you think tactically, and choose the right approach for each enemy. The machines are really quite impressive, each quite different, with good artificial intelligence. Some are dinosaur themed (Thunderjaws, Watchers) but most aren't- there are a lot of misleading comments about this. They are mainly intended to replicate modern fauna- deer, cattle, wolves, lions, crocodiles, tigers, crabs, buffalos and others.

    The core story is very strong, and the overarching background is actually quite fascinating. Learning the truth of the machines is a gripping journey.

    There is plenty to do, and its fun to just get into fights to see if you can make it out alive.

    The environment, with its stunning views, weather and water effects, wildlife, swaying grass and ambient sounds is second to none. And there are plenty of collectibles and tasks to get you to explore it all.

    Downsides?
    A few, but not enough to spoil it.
    Fighting the human enemies is fairly unsatisfying. Most can be easily beaten by picking them off by stealth or simply culling them one by one with a spear.

    The side stories are mainly pretty dull, consisting of rescuing hapless villagers from machines/bandits, solving crimes by following easily signposted footprints or blood trails, or acting as a glorified courier. There are a couple of exceptions.

    Aloy's sarcasm gets a bit wearing at times, and is a bit out of place for most of the game; until she becomes a genuine badass. Story dialogue overall is a bit weird too, a big step down from recent Rockstar games for example. It has a tendency to go on a bit too long at times. Less is often more, developers!

    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.
