But the game also does some things badly. You can't switch camera view, even while aiming you can't switch shoulders and things keep blocking your view. Traversing and climbing is heavily animated and clunky to control. Characters' hair do not collide with their bodies and keep going through their models even in cinematics. Lip sync and facial animations are awful.
    Horizon Zero Dawn is very interesting concept that puts primal and future worlds in one. This may be an original idea, nevertheless, strange things like all-anglophonic population, multiracial tribes, a full scale of bioms and a handful of tribes in such a little basin-like map.
    The story feels like it was built halfway, then scrapped due time and capability shortages and later built anew on the debris of the original story. The main storyline is very short (10 hours), it's made up with amazing side quests, however the main problem is the absolute lack of interesting characters. Most of them are instantly killed off or very poorly developed having a 10 minutes of screentime at best.
    Lastly, I've noticed the game constantly mocks religion. A mortal is capable to rebuild life on the planet with a program made up in 6 months or so, Aloy has a contempt for every religious person and makes toxic remarks everytime she gets a chance. I couldn't care less for Aloy and I was happy for every time Sylens rekt her. Interesting how Aloy is so independent, needs no help but when she loses her focus device she also loses her **** and goes from stronk to panik.    … Expand

    The story is one of the most (if not the most) original and well told of any game I played. A truly exciting game, it can be a little overwhelming at first, but it all plays out incredibly. Graphics are amazing even 3 years later (except for the faces during dialogue). Combat is amazing and you can approach it in different ways, so it doesn't get boring. Easily my favourite game of the generation.

    Very good game. I only finished it recently and the graphics and the world are just beautiful.
    I highly suggest to play it on the hardest difficult setting as this makes the fight really challenging and you need to use all the tools the game offers.

    1. The story is exceptional. It's told in a very simple way. Somehow, it still made me invested. There's a lot of detail in the story but it's easy to understand. It's not told in a way like Fallout, The Witcher 3 etc. Does that make it better than those games? Maybe, for some.

    2. Side quest are not just fetch quests. They have a decent story behind them. There's dialog and the characters are interesting enough. Does it go in depth like The Witcher 3? No. However, it's better than almost every other open-world games out there.

    3. Gameplay animations are exceptional for an open world games. At times it feels like you're playing Tomb Raider or Uncharted. Before Horizon Zero Dawn, I don't think any other game had this smooth movement and enemy animation in open world games except Assasin's Creed.

    4. Same can be said about the graphics. No open world looks like this. It's an Action Adventure game level gameplay and graphics in an open world game.

    5. Climbing towers to open map is actually fun. There are not 50-100 of them.

    The best part is how it all comes together. It did everything an open world game does and made it amazing.

    Finding the story behind it all was amazing. Wherever my camera went, I wanted to explore. The World is exceptionally built.

    The world Guerilla has built is easy to understand. Gameplay has clear concise instructions and it's strong. The story is straightforward but engaging. The graphics are just incredible. Gameplay animations are amazing. NPCs are actually good. I don't remember if anyone was annoying in this game.    … Expand

The graphics are fantastic - character models and the world look amazing - this forced my hand to play with the photo mode from time to time. The only negative I found was a little bloating of the story toward the end. Outside of that - this game is an awesome experience and worth a play through for anyone that owns a PS4… Expand

    Graficamente muy bueno, tiene hermosos paisajes, y muy buen trabajo por parte de Guerrilla al hacer algo tan espectacular para la PS4.
    Una banda sonora muy buena, es algo que sobresale su apartado sonoro, muy buen soundtrack.
    El gameplay es muy bueno, muy dedicado, el uso de arco es espectacular, pero el combate cuerpo a cuerpo es muy simple, de hecho no hay combos, es un solo combo, pero creo que es un juego para pasarselo con el arco de inicio a fin, el crafteo de las cosas esta muy desbalanceado, en mi opinion.
    No innova en ningun aspecto hablando de su gameplay, ya que son mecanicas que ya hemos visto en videojuegos anteriores, no innova pero las mecanicas que emplea son muy buenas, muy bien aplicadas.
    Hay un detalle que me gustaria resaltar, y esque en una mision secundaria rescatas a un personaje de morir por suicidio con veneno y es tan espectacular el detalle y es que si merodeas por el jardin en donde se desarrolla la escena, puedes ver el frasco con el veneno, y Alloy (El personaje que tu manejas) hace un comentario en referencia a eso, y bota el veneno y frasco, diciendo que es mejor hacerlo antes que cometa una locura. Ese detalle es espectacular, increible porque lo han trabajado a conciencia.
    Durante el juego te encuentras muchos bugs, y no es justificable pero se trata de un mundo abierto, en mi partida no he encontrado muchos.
    Hay coleccionables, son muy faciles de obtener, he jugado al rededor de 55 horas, y me faltan 2 trofeos para el platino, he completado un 99.99% del juego, ya que me faltan desafios pero de la historia y misiones secundarias lo he completado, muy corto.
    La dificultad es adecuada, nada dificil, hay muchas maquinas, pero mi nota no es mas que un 8.5 ya que la historia es muy predecible, el jefe final es muy decepcionante, me esperaba algo mas espectacular, me esperaba ver muchas mas maquinas, ya que existen variaciones de las mismas maquinas, pero esas variaciones mm para mi no son suficiente.

I say this game is a great start for Guerilla but they need to step their game up for Horizon 2. My personal request is the hacking mechanic modified similar to Nier Automata (Having the ability to remote control machines), and a companion for Aloy so she could stop taking to herself.

    Considering time and console this game was released on together with the level of detail, atmosphere, story density and amount of time you can spend this game is one of the few that might deserve a 10/10 although to be totally fair it has its own scratches. I would give it a 9.5 as always going up and down with my gut feeling. Horizon takes the 10 and very much deserves it.

I would give it a 9.5 as always going up and down with my gut feeling. Horizon takes the 10 and very much deserves it.

    I ve been playing on a PS4 Pro with SSD and I m impressed with the stability of this title. I had no frame downs, no bugs, no blue screens. The loading times and fast traveling times are good in the seconds, even the jet inside my PS4 was still somewhat acceptable. Considering that Horizon might have the best graphics (or at least top5) on this console generation this is really impressive. The charactes are beautifully designed and have individual marks. The world and atmosphere has a wide variety of schemes and provide a successful mix of fantasy with sci-fi elements.

    The sound design is well made although it could have been perfected on the surround end. In comparison to other games this is not really mentionable just providing space for the last bit of perfection this game could use.

    The weapons are a little let down for me personally. I do like bows but the variety of the provided weapons are kind of mediocre considering what feels viable and what not. Also it would ve been nice to have more melee variety because melee actually is not that bad in this game. There is just not much variety to the weapons you can use. Same goes to the amount of different armor types you can buy. In my 100% playthrough I used 2 armor types, got the special one at the end and that was about it. Probably on the highest difficulty this might be more necessary it is still a bit sad that on the intended normal difficulty it does not make any difference how you equip.

    Gameplay loops are standard open world styled. You can gather multiple types of collectibles, do timed hunter challenges, get main and sidequests while you progress by foot or mount through the immensely vast world. At the beginning fast travel is limited to consumables which is a kinda strange decision but it helps to keep immersion and get in touch with the world. The unlimited travel can be unlocked in the first part of the game so it is not much of a problem for people who dislike this decision.

    The skill trees are nice and it feels that you can emphasize on your personal play-style. Some skills are rather useless throughout the whole game whereas some should be skilled asap for maximum benefit. There is still not much you can do wrong. I missed that my focus ability was not able to get an upgrade for enhanced vision, wider range and highlighting stuff better. In my opinion something that would be immensely useful because finding collectibles can sometimes be very painful. Climbing indicators are sometimes vague and if you happen to go on collectible hunting at nighttime you might be up for some rage.

    All this still makes HZD one of the best games I have ever played. The amount of depth and details is immersive. The story is very cool and innovative. The world has a decent variety and you will be definitely busy for at least 20 to 40hrs+ depending on whether you go straight, do side-quests or completionist. Please be aware of that this review does not include the addon but solely the maingame.

    Considering you can grab this game including the addon for 20 bucks is honestly a steal and does underline my decision to give it a 10 besides some minor design flaws and subjective aspects I pointed out. People who like action adventure typed games which have a classic open world touch will definitely be pleased.    … Expand

    The story unfolds at a perfect rate not to overwhelm the player with lore but extremely lore-rich at the same time.

    The sound, wow. Im spanish and although mine is the second most spoken language in the planet after chinese we are not used to get good dub or even dub at all, in this matter the game is another 10, the best dub actors have been brought to this game to give it a cinematic flavor that maybe only control has managed to achieve too, in this case we have Michelle Jenner as Aloy and her acting is top notch!

    Graphically speaking is beyond a 10, i dont know if it is the shaders, the textures or even the lighting but , you guys know that feeling when you apply a Shader mod to skyrim and certain views look like a photograph? Well, thats is STAPLE on the whole game, everywhere at any time of the day to a point where most than 8% of my 68h in the game so far is exclusively on photo mode, just breathtaking.

    Lastly as im speaking about the pc version i must acknowledge the optimisation, i have read lots of blogs about how badly it runs or looks on pc and I couldn’t disagree more.... i have A LAPTOP, an msi gs65 (i7 8750H - Gtx 1070 max-q) and i play with everything on high, textures on ultra and models detail in medium and i get 55-60 fps ALWAYS anywhere in the game (before the patch) all that plus the fact that ANY of my components surpasses 65ºc for me means ROCK SOLID optimisation

    Ps: the only issues i had in terms of bugs and-or crashes was when i tried to OVERCLOCK my components (seeing them so cold I thought, well.....) but once Oc was deactivated every bug and crash disappeared like magic so I encourage those readers dissagreeing with my experience on optimisation to disable overclock and check themselves.

    I ended up loving this game, a lot!
    Not enough to get a ps5 to play the sequel but enough to borrow my brother’s to play it.
    It doesn’t matter if youre a sonyer, nintendo fan, xfan, master race... whatever, if you do love gaming this is PURE JOY and though this might perfectly be a marketing stan to make people get the ps5 for the sequel we cant ignore the generosity on Sony Studios part for bringing this game to us...

    At the end this game makes me think differently about everything SPECIALLY exclusives;
    After enjoying this game THAT MUCH, who am i to feel great about certain people not being able to enjoy breath of the wild 2?
    I hope companies realise what i did, being a fangamer in general is happier and less toxic than being a fanboy and fanboys are born with exclusives.    … Expand

I didn't find the game too repetitive like other people. The reason why it is not repetitive is because there are plenty of ways you can approach a combat (there are so many weapons, strategies and categories of machines). In fact, I think the player will establish if the gaming experience will be repetitive or not. I even found that getting the collectibles (metal flowers, banuk artefacts, etc...) was fun as it allowed me to explore more the Horizon world. However, the game is not perfect as the story was not so engaging and maybe, they should give more information regarding the different weapons we can use (the tutorials don't really show you how to play).

    La historia empieza muy interesante, progresa de muy buena manera gracias a la personalidad de los personajes que hay en el juego, que, a pesar de no ser muchos, cumplen su rol y no se sienten fuera de lugar ni forzados como en algunos otros juegos, todo esta en su lugar y sin excesos cansinos. Ya cuando pasan varias horas de juego, con preguntas sobre la historia y la trama empezo mi miedo (sera que van a ca&%3rla con algun cliche?), pero para mi sorpresa todo estaba muy bien justificado y explicado, sencillamente me encanto.

    Sistema de juego es muy completo, pero por lo poco que he experimentado, este sistema es muy similar a los demas Open World de la actual generacion de consolas.

    El apartado grafico es impresionante, a la altura de las capacidades del sistema y la generacion.

    Quizas el unico punto negativo sea el del sistema de armas y equipo, que esta un poco flojo pero sin llegar a ser algo grave.    … Expand

The soundtrack and audio queues help to immerse the player so that they become in the "Zone", while also being helpful for notifying the player when something is about to occur.

    The crafting system, although not original does have its unique twists, rewarding players for collecting groups of collectibles for a hefty prize. At no stage in the story have I felt short of cash (except for maybe the first couple of hours) and progression is rewarded by the player learning how to take down machines instead of the traditional hack'n'slash approach. I would often find myself struggling to take down certain large machines and then, later on, come back and easily handle them, proving to myself that I have become better at the game, rather than allowing certain weapons to over-power the machines instead.

    I have had an absolute blast with this game and only one issue that I'd have with the game is the facial animations being goofy and at times distracting. Other than that, the core gameplay is excellent.    … Expand

    However, some strong flaws in it as well! In the first act characters are build up. Your father, your kinda BFF friend and the guy that hates you. These were looking to integral to the story during the entire game. Yeah no... they are murdered in one of the lamest ways i've seen ever. And after that your character never really meets another character that has the same emotional relationship as with those from act 1. That was profoundly insulting to watch.

    Also the game has some of the flaws open world games have had for years now. Uninteresting collectibles scattered about, fetch quests that don't go further than some fast travelling, and the annoying moment when a guest giver asks you to go across half the map and then return, rince and repeat. That aint fun. Also towns feel completely lifeless as NPC's have no interaction with you, nor have a dynamic of actions. If they were removed, it wouldn't make any difference tothe experience of walking in a town in this game.

    There is no better game overall than horizon. Story, graphisms, gameplay, characters, musics etc... everething is perfect. Let's hope the 2 will be as much as good.

    Impecable en todos los aspectos. Visualmente puntero, varios argumentos interesantes, mecánicas que si bien no inventan nada son sólidas, sin bugs. Muy recomendado

    Fantástico! A história é consistente, a protagonista cativante e o cenário arrasador!
    Depois de começar a jogar, simplesmente não se vê a hora passar. Os inimigos são rápidos e perigosos, há muito desafio nós combates.em Horizon zero Dawn, uma jogada nunca é igual a outra!

    Horizon Zero Dawn is an impressive open world suitable for the backers of the genre.
    The graphics are mesmerising and every now and then I tried the photo mode just for the sake of looking how beautiful the environment is all around.

    One thing I did notice which made me not give this game a 10 was the pace; which I think is amazing in the first hours, turns a little bit repetitive around the 30 th, and not because of the grinding, but mostly because in several missions you have to speak with someone just to be redirected to the other side of the map just to keep going.
    Definitely if you are doubtful about getting the game, i will encourage you to get it, is really a must that every PlayStation owner should play.    … Expand

    Лучший геймплей что я видел, такой яркой и приятной атмосферы нет нигде, а идея игры гениальна!

    In a year where Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild enabled its players to scale any facade, it's frustrating that a similarly phenomenal, open world game such as this didn't allow for the same. Nonetheless, it was still an incredible experience. Aloy is such a compelling, fully realized character.

    I just beat this game and i totally recommend it. this story is great, gameplay is awesome and it's not super long which is good. Only downside is that the cut-scenes are not really good. Overall though this game is 8/10.

    Pretty fun but doesn’t recieve a perfect rating because it has a couple flaws like having to save a certain points and reset if you die. Gameplay doesn’t feel repetitive and there’s so many ways you can do things. Don’t have a problem with it very good

    I loved everything about this game, but why then give it a 9?So the game have everything right, from the graphics to the open world, main protagonist Aloy is one of the best female protagonist in video games ever in my opinion but still game lacks something... Know this, the only games I would give a 10 are : Metal Gear Solid 3 : Snake Eater, GTA San Andreas and Uncharted 2 and 4; whichI loved everything about this game, but why then give it a 9?So the game have everything right, from the graphics to the open world, main protagonist Aloy is one of the best female protagonist in video games ever in my opinion but still game lacks something...

    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.

    There is enough spectacular action to keep you occupied for a couple of weeks, but Horizon is not the hot new killer app for PS4.
