    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.

    Una historia increíble, Aloy es el mejor personaje femenino desde Ellie de the last of us. Y uno de los mejores mundos abiertos de la pasada generación.

    ecause of playing Triple A game, I expected the graphics to be pretty good. I think the game has a very nice graphics and atmosphere. I really liked the voice acting, gameplay and story.

As the last sentence, I want to say the same thing again. I played 30 hours to consume the contents of the game, but at the end of the game, I was surprised that it was over. I don’t think any other words are needed…

    Классная, богатая, красивая и интересная игра. Понимаю, почему игра является систем селлером PS4. Прошёл ее только сейчас и игра все еще прекрасно выглядит и играется(роботы - вау). Сюжет у игры не очень интересный, а вот мир - наоборот, впечатляет. Мир интересно исследовать, особенно гробницы. Огорчает, что персонажи - болванчики.Классная, богатая, красивая и интересная игра.

    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    … Expand

    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.

    As for some gameplay elements, such as the general weapon and armor systems, the story makes up for everything. When playing this game, you must read all the information we collect as Aloy, and if we do, I promise that everyone will enjoy the game as much as I do.

    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.    … Expand

    Uno de los aspectos más sobresalientes    Horizon Zero Dawn es un juego excepcional y cautivador que te transportará a un mundo postapocalíptico lleno de maravillas y peligros. 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.    … Expand

    + 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.

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.    … Expand

    Even tho it took me 2 years to finish this game, I was frustraded by the fact that the machines u destroy repawn when u load the game or die, i think that can be pretty **** at times but if u plan to play this game for hours that wont be a problem. The world is amazing, the combat has much depth to it, climbing long necks machines was so fun. The music is great the atmosphere as well.

    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.
