    It's a good game, but not a masterpiece, as many say. Probably is one of the most overrated games ever.

    The best game of this generation in my honest opinion. My KDM Local - Gaming Hub blog post sums it up better than i can in 5000 characters (the blog is long!) but the basic notion is a) fantastic new gaming heroine b) engrossing story (both personal and wider-world) c) brilliant combat, every battle feels epic d) staggeringly beautiful setting (spent far too much time in Photo Mode).The best game of this generation in my honest opinion.

    An amazing game! Each machine has a different way to defeat them. Very powerful and interesting main protagonist. Story was very interesting and I am very interested in the sequel. One of the best PS4 exclusives out there. Only small problem I had was the side missions aren't that useful, they're just there for you to do but some people might disagree with this.

The game really shines in terms of environment and game play with very minor issues to both here and there. Guerrilla Games pushed the PS4 hardware and has made a very beautiful world to explore although not wholly worth exploring. Enemy designs are amazing. The game play and systems that support it work very well with my main issue being the dodge mechanic seemed rather, well, dodgy. There were many times I would dodge only for it to clearly not matter as enemies seemed to have a lock on me and rubber band directly to me, or just have a massive hit radius. Weapons were awesome to use and some of the encounters against larger enemies felt truly epic. The end result is a worthy Playstation exclusive that is great but not perfect. The only things holding this back from perfection in my opinion is the poor characterization of the protagonist and some other side characters that kept me from caring what happened to them more as well as some minor game play issue. The story is again serviceable with some great plot twists here and there but if I had been made to care more about the characters the story would hit even harder. I hope to see these issues ironed out in the sequel and have a truly 10/10 entry in this series as is shows to have that potential.… Expand

Yes it's true in an age now where £45 only get's you part of the game the rest of which are locked behind paywalls and micro-transactions Horizon Zero is one of the last bastions of proper immersive story driven gaming. Just play it for yourself. I won't go into details on the story but take my word it is one of the greatest original sci-fi plot concepts ever told. And it reveals itself to you gradually keeping you going back for more and more. You'll find yourself traversing the beautiful scenery to pick up side quest type relics that reveal little tidbits of the mysterious lore of the world, keeping you guessing as to what happened and why there are robot dinosaurs everywhere! It's a polished finished game, with smooth combat, fluid game engine and game play and great protagonist. I found myself thinking about it quite a lot whilst i wasn't playing it, the surely of a truly great game. The lack of a money grabbing micro transaction economy in this game immediately let's you absorb and get immersed into the world so much more. One of my biggest criticisms of micro transactions is that they are crass and having a pay to win system or loot boxes in game quite frankly defecates on any sort of artistic vision, clearly whoever developed and published this game is aware of this.

    One of the best game I ever played. Graphics, OST, gameplay, storyline and characters are perfect.
    Enemies' AI is good and the difficulty is well balanced across the story.
    The game is absolutely breathtaking from the start to the end.
    I hope they will permit to control more machines at once and the option to give them orders in the next chapter.
    10/10. Loved it.

    El mejor videojuego que Guerrilla ha creado jamas. Posee un basto mundo abierto espectacular, un muy buen personaje principal ademas de los secundarios, buenas misiones tanto principales como secundarias y un buen sistema de combate con arco que muchas veces exige su toque estratégico y eso por no hablar de su excelente argumento.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have no right words to describe this game. The story is just amazing, you keep asking yourself a lot of questions through the game, about what happened, how the world got like this, what's project GAIA and more. The open world experience is phenomenal, many landscapes to take your breath away by the design and how perfect it was made. I got really attached to Aloy, an iconic female protagonist. I can definitely say Horizon Zero Dawn is the best game I've ever played on a console. Truly a masterpiece.… Expand

    Horizon Zero Dawn is a fun and intense game. The story is great and interesting. The beginning of the game isn't as interesting as the endgame but it still is interesting and mysterious.

It allows you to play either high-octane action style or go full stealth mode, which I preferred for some reason, even though I usually dislike stealth games.

    At the beginning and via trailers i though this game was a load of crap. Got it for free with the purchase of my PS4 Pro.

    Only played this title after a year of launch date. Oh boy how wrong was I. This is probably one of the best Scifi stories in a game to date. The sheer amount of info into the world of Horizon was epic! What made the game even better is the environment.    At the beginning and via trailers i though this game was a load of crap.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think the moment where I realised how beautiful this game is when I saw a Tallneck for the first time but the moment where I realised that this game is actually really good, was when I fought the first Thunderjaw. I am not ashamed to admit that my first take down took 10 minutes because I was super nervous about how to approach that thing and with what strategy I should proceed.

    The thing which bothered me a lot while also impressing me was the size of the over world. The map is huge. You could spend hours just walking from one side of the map to another. Luckily there are fast travel packs which you can use to get from A to B fairly quickly, however, that was the biggest problem for me. I finished my first play-through without using one of the fast travel packs once. I walked everywhere because I felt like if I would ride one of the machines or if I fast-travel, I would miss out on too much. The map is so big and it feels like there is so much to discover that fast traveling might ruin the experience a bit. But the problem is that for some quests in the main story you literally have to walk from one end of the map to another which, as I said before, can take up a good hour or two.

    My last point is that, while the main story is really interesting and fun, they are sometimes quite repetitive in the nature of what you have to do. The same goes for side quests. And personally, the final boss fight in this game disappointed me, simply because it didn't really feel like the final fight. It felt just like any other fight in the game.

    I just realised that I have written way more negative points than positive ones, but please, don't get the wrong idea. The game is great and I definitely recommend you buying it because even though it might be a bit repetitive, doesn't mean it is not great fun.    … Expand

    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.
