    Horizon reaches a great level on design and accion, however some points of the story and the character deveolpment need to improve, as well as the quests.

    - The story is interesting but still needs a bit more depth, and the sidequests are often short. - Aloy is a great main character but needs a bit more development throught the story. - The combat against the machines is great,    Horizon reaches a great level on design and accion, however some points of the story and the character deveolpment need to improve, as well as the quests.

    - The story is interesting but still needs a bit more depth, and the sidequests are often short.
    - Aloy is a great main character but needs a bit more development throught the story.
    - The combat against the machines is great, diferent machines with diferent mecanics to beat them. My only complains are the weapon wheel, 4 slots only are not enough when facing diferent types of machines and going through menus to change weapons cut the flow.
    Also the combat against humans is poor and need a better mechanic, this combats should be avoided as much as posible, in some points the game forces you to fight human bosses making those fights repetitive and unrewarding.

    In conclusion, Horizon Zero Dawn is a huge brand new franchise with a lot of potential and opportunities to learn and improve.    … Expand

    Been playing this for a few weeks now non-stop, can't put the remote down after playing for more than 30m. This game is awesome, the developers should be proud. Looking forward to more content!

    Good game, but with small cons. Gameplay, visualization, sound, story, environment makes HZD charming. NPC and side quests disappoints me. While playing all time compare this game to The Whitcher 3 and it's good that CDproject set the bar for action RPG. If you like last Whitcher you might like this game too. They are different, but both motivate you to explore magnificent world.

    The gameplay is brilliant, the combat (ok can be shaky) is great, and the world itself is breathtaking in places. And once you have done a few hours, you are practically free to explore and discover the world and how it came to be how it is today.

With stunning graphics, lots to do, good game mechanics, good level of difficulty. The story line is not bad, its not great but it keeps you going. The open world is really accessible with a good travel system. The level of detail that has gone into developing this Horizon Zero Dawn is truly next gen. I believe that the PS has just began to earn its money as a next gen console. Anything below this threshold is not acceptable. Not anymore anyway… Expand

It amazing that a company who has only made First Person Shooters up until this point made such an amazing game. A weird blend prehistoric and future technology that works well due to a believable world and well-crafted story.

    Story:

    I don't want to spoil the story but I will talk about the beginning. The starts out with an outcast named Aloy, shunned for being a motherless child. You are protected by another outcast named Rost. You find a device called the focus and start discovering more about yourself and how these robot dinosaurs took over the earth. The story seems cliché at first until the twist and turns start happening. By the end, you will have experienced one wild ride.

    Gameplay:

    The gameplay is nice and fluent even at 30FPS. You have many weapons at your disposal like your bow, The Tripcaster, and a bomb sling. The combat is nice but the only way to defend yourself is by rolling out of the way, which 9 times out of 10 you still get hit by something. Speaking of getting hit, this game is hard, even on Normal difficulty. It's nice to have a challenge but when multiple enemies on the screen at one time (especially at the end fight), it will become little too much.

    Technical:

    The Decima engine looks amazing. The best graphics I have ever seen for an open world game. Realistic looking textures that run great even when not using a PS4 Pro. A pretty great soundtrack that meshes the prehistoric and future vibe together. It not the most memorable but it gets the job done. A solid package with no glitches and no DLC to fix mistakes.

    Final Thoughts:
    :
    This is one of the best-crafted games I have played in a while. In an industry that is focused on incomplete games, DLC and yearly sequels, it's nice to see a fresh IP that feels complete and tells a memorable story. A near 10/10 game if not for the fact of questionable dodge mechanics and a somewhat slow start. If you own a PS4, this is a must have title for your collection.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've been playing video games since the Atari 2600 in 1982. I've had a Commodore 64, a NES, a Genesis, was a member of the "PC Master Race" for a while, and then a PS2, 3, and 4 owner. "Horizon: Zero Dawn" may be the best -storytelling- of any game I've ever played. I've played many Final Fantasys, Baldur's Gate, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, the first Mass Effect game, all the Assassin's Creeds, etc... but H:ZD chilled me to the bone. Mostly because the premise is entirely believable as corporate greed and "forever wars" seem on the verge of destroying us in real life.

    Throw in a no-nonsense, yet still charming, protagonist, a mix of primitive societies and advanced technology, you have as solid an experience as you could ask for.

    The gameplay is pretty smooth. The only reason this game isn't a 10 is because of some issues with aiming your bow (yet your view is obstructed by plants or rocks) a hit-and-miss dodge mechanic (you eventually power up to a long-range diving roll, but it still doesn't outdistance the machine attacks), and a jump/no climb problem that was prevalent in Red Dead Redemption. The final battle was also a bit poorly designed (tear arrows suddenly don't work...in the same arena where the walls for cover don't last???), but I enjoyed the concept of having allies (or not) depending on how you played the rest of the game.

    The music is solid, graphics/color schemes are rich and detailed, the voicework among the principal and middle characters is strong, and the variety of foes, weapons, and power-ups are satisfying without being burdensome or useless.

    But it is the story that makes this game special. From the richly imagined "Project Zero Dawn" as the only viable solution for the possible survival of the species, to the traditions of the reclusive Nora tribe, there's a lot to sink your proverbial teeth into.

    It's also designed well in the sense that for the opening chapter of the game, you think it's going to be a little "Hunger Games-y" where Aloy will prove herself to the tribe that cast her out at birth - that she will make friends with her fellow competitors during "the Proving," even winning over the headstrong bully, Bast.

    Nope.

    Immediately upon winning The Proving, everything goes sideways, and the ride you thought you were getting on jumps completely onto a different roller coaster (this is a good thing, by the way). The journey through the Cauldrons, discoveries about what happened 1,000 years prior, all feels genuine and it was difficult to be an adult and shut the game off so I could go to work the next day with some semblance of sleep. Not many games have been able to do that for me.

    Good

    - I like alloy's personality. She doesn't take s*** from anyone, but yet she has sympathy and is reasonable to those who deserve it. She's also very strong and does not rely on others.

    - the game touches on the controversial topic of AI singularity. The way they told the story made it such a mystery, and it's really cool how there's this whole new primitive civilization that came out of this apocalypse. And the whole time it made me constantly Wonder what this project zero Dawn was.

    - it's very interesting listening to all the audio recordings of people in the past, especially the people who worked on zero dawn. And how each one of them came to either accept or decline their fate.

    - the thought of machines duplicating endlessly consuming biomatter is scary. And how after they've consumed all biomatter, there would be just millions of robots hibernating on the surface of the planet waiting for any new biomatter to appear. Like some kind of grim silent death trap for any alien.

    - I feel like a tomb Raider of sorts, because I'm reading pretty much tombs of life before the robot apocalypse. Except the theme is a little reversed, because alloy is a primitive person rating the tomb of a more advanced civilization.

    - the constant back and forth gameplay in the main quest between the present day affairs in the primitive land, and the contrasting tomb rating of the advanced past gives diversity to the gameplay. It's like two parallel storylines, which tv shows use too.

    - that part when sylens rescued alloy was epic

    - seeing alloy rise from being an outcast, nobody, to literally a holy figure as she was walking out of all mother was a very surreal moment even from the point of view of the player. I really like how alloy doesn't care for authority and the law if it does not make sense, even from the matriarchs.

    - many of the side missions are well connected to the two main story lines. Both the primitive civilization and the robot apocolypse past. The game introduces you to characters in the beginning that Branch out into side quests later on in the game. This fundamental introduction to these characters allows me to make a connection with them, and for me to actually care about the quests that they put me on later. Not many games are able to make me care about side missions like Horizon zero Dawn can.

    - using the rope caster and tieing down robots then hitting their armor parts off or using critical hits on them feels very satisfying.

    - knowing the sacrifice that Elisabet made was just heart wrenching.

    - there's a good balance between using melee, projectiles, and traps in combat.

    Bad

    - The ledges can be highlighted more vividly. Because they aren't, there are many times where I am not sure where I can be climbing until I started randomly jumping.

    - some of the NPC facial animations when they're talking doesn't match the expressive voice acting. The facial movements of each character just aren't all that big.

    - there are a lot of ways to exploit the combat using the environment. Like staying in a spot where the boss can't reach you. Most games would restrict the area you can go but Horizon zero Dawn allows you to pretty much go anywhere in a large area during the fight.

    - the final chapter ended too fast. I was really hoping the final battle was gonna be more epic. It was alright. It just happened really fast, and there weren't any new machines, just a big deathbringer and other minions. Given the amazing story this far, I also expected a twist to happen, but the ending was very predictable. Still good, but I was hoping for something more spicy.    … Expand

    Story : Impressively compelling from the beginning, full of enjoyable quests, shadowed with mysteries which are uncovered as you progress, each and every side quest feels meaningful and progressive & is more like a mini story. There are also a couple of emotional scenes.

    Combat: like every thing else combat is amazing and addictive, AI is intelligent and deceiving which delivers challenging enemies both humans and machines, with vast variety of enemies there are total of 26 type of machines most are aggressive and vastly different from each other in terms of strengths, weaknesses and engaging tactics, really enjoyable & rewarding combat, there are many choices at your disposal to pick the style of your choosing before you start a battle or deal with an enemy.

    Crafting is excellent, you can collect stuff in the rich gorgeous open world or purchase them, there are variety of weapons with multiple ammo types each with different properties, There are many skills which gets more amazing b/z you can get all of the skills, level up, collectibles, weapon mods, secret armor and more.
    Game got lineage to some other games such as Far Cry like collectibles, hunting and liberating bandit camps & even some similarities to Uncharted like platforming but in horizon dawn you will enjoy it and are far far farrrrrrrrrrr batter.

Sure, there are things to criticize, but the strengths by far outweighs the weaknesses. If you own a PS4, i would say this is a must buy & must play immediately. What a surprise!

    Awesome:
    ---------------

    - Great character and story progression
    - Story has a great pacing
    - Some of the writing is exceptional
    - No Deus Ex Machina, the story is surpassingly robust for such a weird setting
    - World and Story convey a real sense of mystery
    - Aloy is such a great, bottom to earth main character (also great voice acting)
    - Open world gameplay (collectibles, bandit camps, towers) are not overabundant and fit well into the world
    - Great variety of weapons and enemies
    - Tactical but fluid combat
    - Good number of well presented quests
    - Great vertical level design
    - On highest difficulty (recommended!) many random encounters feel like epic boss battles

    Could be better:
    ------------------------

    - Crafting and stealth are a bit too simplified
    - Human enemy AI is not very smart (lure and stealth kills are op)
    - Variety of the world map comes at the cost of absurd climate (4 climate zones on 20km^2)
    - Facial animation could be better
    - Climbing hotspots are hard to see sometimes (also a pro, since it doesn't break immersion)
    - It ends    … Expand

    Graphics: Are stunning and really blew me away. I'm always stopping and just looking at the world and it's beauty. The detail in the machines is top notch. The weakest part of the graphics is hair - it's a bit off-putting to see the hair not getting the same attention as the rest of the game. But this is so minor.

    Story: Since I haven't completed the game yet, I can say anything about the entire story but based on what I've seen so far, I'm super intrigued about what is going on. I have my theories but I think the developers would have come up with something much better than my stupid ideas. The greatness of the story-development also extends to the side-quests as well. Each one I come across seems to have had a lot of thought put into it.

    Gameplay: I was really unsure of myself when I started. I've never been that good with bow weapons in previous games. Nor was I that good at dodge-mechanics. Both of these will become second nature to you, the player, quickly. Aloy is quick, responsive and powerful. You'll find yourself starting fights with a handful of enemies knowing you're going to be a badass. There are tons of things to find and do throughout the world - it's pretty engaging.

    All-in-all, I find this game to be superb. I see that a lot of people are complaining about various things. None that I've read have really delved into their complaints, and just left it vague. I do understand that everyone has their own personal taste and what I or someone else likes isn't going to be something someone else or I like.

    Personally, I love collecting things. I love exploring all the nooks and crannies for stuff. I love the enemies in this game. I love the main characters and the story is engaging to me.

    I highly recommend this game.    … Expand

Although jumping is a bit clunky and the ability to lock on to targets is sorely missing. Otherwise, performance and mechanics are all pretty solid and satisfying - fun to play.

    I don’t usually talk up the story on games - even the best game story usually pales in quality and creativity to other mediums (literature, film). Horizon is the exception to the rule. The story is compelling from the first exposition scene and manages to keep enough hidden to hold your interest throughout the course. Even on multiple play through, this balance is felt. Voice acting is overall very good, with dialogue that mostly manages not to be too cheesy. But RPGs gotta RPG, so the tropes and cliches are still found sprinkled throughout - the just tend not to be load bearing.

    Look, if you haven’t picked this up yet on sale for 30 bucks or leases, what are you waiting for? It’s twice that in gameplay hours, easily, and one of the finest gaming experiences of the past decade. The sequel, when it’s released, will be the reason to finally buy a PS5.    … Expand

I'm usually sensitive to the cultural agendas that have taken over every single thing in our world but I just didn't see anything all that big a deal in this game. Nothing like you find in DAI. Beyond that I have never given a 10 to any game. I've been playing video games since 1979, yep that long so I have perspective and there are few games that reach a 10. Many of those that would happened long before Metacritic existed (say LOZ or HL2 would be 10's for their time) To say HZD reaches my internal objective of a 10 is stretching it because innovation should be a part of that score and although there is some it isn't mind blowing. However given the climate of today's gaming HZD is far and away better, more imaginative, sleeker, more entertaining and more exceptional than 99% of all the crap out there. It is fun, it is beautiful, it has good story, it has really fun combat, awesome machines, great AI, fantastic settings, a unique world. It's worth every dang dime I paid for it and I want more of it. Is it perfect? no, it could use a few tweeks here and there, a better map system, a camera tweak, maybe few other little tiny tweaks here and there but overall, it's better than both the new TR's in every way. It blows ME Andromeda out of the water. It's a very solid game with a good vision and a unique, fascinating world. Very, very few games deserve a 0 and the there is no way in hell this game deserves a 0. You have to be really immature to throw 0's at a product of this quality. You don't love the game? Not your cup of tea? That's fine but freaking be objective and rate it according to at least some objective standards. Buy this game, you won't regret it.… Expand

    GRAPHICS:
    This is THE BEST game I've ever played graphics wise. I spend a lot of time just switching to photo mode and exclaiming loudly at how beautiful the world, the environment, the lighting, the characters, the art design, EVERYTHING, looks! I thought Uncharted 4 was the pinnacle but this for me is more impressive especially since it's an open world game. Perfect score for graphics. I recommend turning off all HUD elements and notifications, and go Naughty Dog style; clean interface. I played Dragon Age Inquisition right after Horizon just to start clearing my backlog but my God what a huge difference in graphical fidelity. It's like rubbing sand in my eyes using sandpaper. Graphics on the PS4 has definitely improved in leaps and bounds in 2017, can't wait for Death Stranding!

    GAMEPLAY
    Playing as Aloy is fun and challenging sometimes depending on ur playstyle. I rarely use melee, xray mode, tagging enemies nd instead just rely on sound and sight, like a real hunter and it really makes the game more immersive and fun. Weapons are varied and adds a different dimension for each situation. Hunting Lodge challenges are also fun to complete, making sure you try out every single weapon to the best of its potential. Taking down huge dinobots in the fastest time possible is always fun and never gets old. Human enemies though are annoying and too easy to kill, and their AI could be better.

    ROLEPLAYING ELEMENTS AND CHOICE
    This game to me is a hybrid of Tomb Raider and the Witcher 3. There's not much choice in roleplaying that will lead to multiple endings. Armor and weapons are just progressive upgrades of the same type, and there are not much stats tinkering if ur into old school RPG a la KOTOR, Skyrim, Fallout etc. Modifications of weapons/armor are the only thing I feel that comes close to me tweaking around with Aloy's stats. I basically use the same loadout through the whole game until I got the best armor in game. So hopefully they improve on this in Horizon 2, unless this is the style they're going for. An action-RPG lite hybrid, which I don't really mind either cos its more focused and fun. A fun game is a fun game so all's good.

    STORY
    Cutscenes are well done. Story is predictable to me. Nothing amazing or deeply engaging like Mafia 3, Last of Us, Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Sleeping Dogs, Yakuza 0, and so on. In fact, the many text and audio logs can be disruptive to the game flow cos it slows things down at the most importune times. Its not as well done as Bioshock's audio logs where I was looking forward to collecting the next one just to hear what the heck happened in Rapture. Cos here I basically know what happened, nothing ground breaking or plot twisting if u've watched/played post apocalypse media. Also, sidequests are decent, nothing as awesome as Witcher 3's but at least there are no fetch quests and kill X amount of this.

    All in all, this is a game worth buying at full price, I had Zero buyers remorse, and wished i had bought the Collector's edition instead.

I personally thought the story was excellent, Aloy's initial motivation is only to find out more about her past but that eventually leads to a much bigger reveal about what happened to earth before and why it is like that right now, it's well written and while that part of the narrative takes some time to get rolling, I was intrigued and curious to find out more.

    Gameplay has light rpg elements, I can tell they wanted it to be accessible in terms of customization, crafting, modifying weapons, skill trees etc - and the fun in fighting these machines roaming around comes from understanding how to exploit their weaknesses, that's when the combat really shines and it's thrilling to finally take down the bigger ones after testing different strategies.

    Side content overall is enjoyable, enjoyed the structure of many side quests and I'm glad they didn't go crazy with the amount of times you can do each activity - I.E having you liberate like 5 settlements from bandits and not 20, I think that helps to avoid making any game feel much more repetitive than it needs to be, and while it's not flawless and I could definitely nitpick about some things here and there, I think Guerrilla did a great job and I'm looking forward to any extra content they are working on.    … Expand

    I had no intentions of buying this game. I wasn't following it and when I saw a couple trailers I didn't think it looked all that interesting, so I meant to pass.

    I had no intentions of buying this game. I wasn't following it and when I saw a couple trailers I didn't think it looked all that interesting, so I meant to pass. However, after seeing its glowing reviews, I wanted to see what the fuss was about. 45 hours and a platinum trophy later, I can unequivocally say this is among the best PS4 exclusives out there.

    The story is moving (besides some exposition dump-style dialogue early on) and is the first game for a while to actually elicit a true emotion from me. The gameplay loop it creates is addicting and fun, and the crafting, leveling, questing, combat and other features, while never anything new or innovative, are top-notch. This game fixes a few minor issues I have with open world games through its fast travel mechanics requiring a travel pack, as well as its collectibles and radio towers serving a higher purpose than "get another percentage."

    The only critiques I have for it are somewhat nitpick-y. One, the map doesn't have a filter option leading to clutter. Second, the exposition dumps early on. Finally, while most voice acting is good, there is the occasional voice actor/actress that is so bad it can be distracting. Really, this game is a 9.5 but I had to pick between 9 and 10 for this review and felt it leaned closer to 10.

    This game's world is amazing. I don't want it to be over. The apocalypse isn't harped on, but instead the new people populating the planet all live lives based on the idea of hope. The world isn't bleak--it's bright and colorful, and I hope the future of this franchise is, as well.    … Expand

The combat is arguably the best bow +arrow combo I have every played and sets a really high standard of rewarding gameplay that never feels tiresome, yet technically you are doing the same thing again. The open world is one of the best I've seen and the enemy AI is awesome.

    The biggest flaw of Horizon is that it literally borrows all its elements from every other game. There a bit of Far Cry here, Witcher 3 here, Dark Souls here, Shadow of Mordor etc. However, when these components are done so well, you can't help but appreciate what a masterpiece of a game this is. Although at times the story and characters feel a bit shallow, I was never bored advancing the story, and even collecting the collectibles never felt like a chore (unlike most other Ubisoft piss takes). Horizon showcases how a proper open world should always be and that player agency is the utmost importance here.

    I hope with the upcoming sequel they might make the world a bit smaller, but a bit richer in tasks to do. I would also like to see if they could incorporate a new gameplay mechanic to showcase its difference.    … Expand

    If you're a fan of the genre you should definitely get your hands on this gem. Post-apocalyptic world has never been as breathtakingly beautiful as this. Gone are the bazillion shades of gray - this is a fresh take on the subject.    … Expand

Give me a game with a good story, better than average graphics and good gameplay and I'm usually happy. I've thoroughly enjoyed playing HZD. Let me start with the bad. There are a few quirks. The animation of people talking throws me off a bit. It doesn't seem to line up great with the voice acting which I think is pretty good though not amazing. There are a few graphical things, like people have mentioned of the environment, such as water and grass, not really reacting to your character. (Doesn't really bother me) There aren't a ton of weapons to choose from. (Though I think the one's you have are still very fun to play with) Those are really my only complaints. As for what I enjoy about the game, I really like the story. I've seen some mixed reviews on it but I think it's very interesting and it has some great mystery to it. I don't know what people expected but it's similar to what I thought it would be, with a few good twists and turns in it. Killing robot dinosaurs = 10/10. It's a lot of fun and I think the combat system is great for what the game is. Some people complained about being able to hide in the bushes right in front of an enemy, but I don't get why this makes people mad, it's a game. It doesn't have to be incredibly realistic and this is a mechanic that some of the greatest games, like Uncharted 4 and Assassins creed, have also used.

    Overall I think it's a great game worth getting. The Graphics of the world are amazing and smooth (minor glitches at random points, but nothing like I've seen in some other big games). The story is a lot of fun. The combat is decent. The game is great.    … Expand

    Overall I found the game a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to completing all the side quests and collections (which I only commit to if I truly enjoy the game). I'm glad I started on the higher difficulty, because it added some moments of frustration throughout the journey pushing me to try out different strategies I may have otherwise ignored.

    Combat
    The combat system is highly tactical and a lot of fun. The robot enemies are well designed, and the combat system allows you to disable different weapons that leads to a very diverse combat experience as the enemy's tactics will often change mid-battle. I found myself at times sneaking past enemies as I traveled across the open world knowing one wrong step would lead to a battle I would not be able to win which added a lot of excitement. Combat against human enemies is not nearly as fun. In these situations, I took it as an opportunity to treat it as a stealth game further diversifying the game. Even by the end of the game, I never felt that my weapons had out scaled the enemies which left the open world experience a lot of fun. There are not a a lot of weapons in the game, but they all have a very unique feel and greatly affect how you play. In my opinion they did this right, as you are left to customize your weapons forcing you to determine what you want your strengths to be for each weapon as they have multiple ammo types they can each use. I found the final armor in the game disappointing, I quickly switched back as I felt it really took away from the make no-mistakes type of approach the game had going for it.

    Story Line
    The story line goes where you expect it to go and then the is more. The story is delivered in a very meaningful way which kept me wanting to see how it would unfold even if I thought I knew where is was going. Your caught between the main protagonists perspective of what is happening and what you the gamer are curious about which is interesting. The story really did flow which is why I did not do too many side quests on my first play through. The side quests that I did play, I felt were well delivered. I tried not to pick up a new side quest until I had completed the one that I was on as to keep more a continuity going. I'd suspect grabbing all the side quests at once and punching them out quickly would lead to a less desirable experience.

    The world is just beautiful and the affects are amazing. The open world has a large diversity of environment which astounding to see. I'm by no means a graphics nut, but this game was truly something to see.    … Expand

Fallen stellen, Nah- oder Fernkampf hier wird jeder Kampfstil ausgereizt. Das alles verpackt in eine der schönsten virtuellen Landschaften die es je in der History of Gaming gab. Untermalt von träumerischer sphärischer Ethno Musik erscheint diese Welt trotz der Kombination von archaisch wirkenden Stammesgesellschaften und futuristischen Cyborgbestien absolut glaubhaft und erzeugt vom ersten Moment an eine tiefe Immersion. Nach wenigen Minuten wirken die künstlichen Lebewesen durch ihr natürliches Verhalten und die Soundeffekte absolut überzeugend und man bekommt fast schon Mitleid wenn man die Treibstofftanks eines arglos grasenden "Grasers" mit einem Feuerpfeil in Brand steckt und dieser dann in mitten der gesamten Herde explodiert. Auch die mehr als sympathische Aloy darf sich zukünftig einreihen in die neue Linie weiblicher Videospielheldinnen, sie ist stark ohne das Klischee einer "Ich bin genauso gut wie jeder Mann"-Powerfrau mit sich rumzutragen.

    Auch die Liebe zum Detail und das Festhalten der Entwickler an der eigenen Idee einer fiktiven tausend Jahre in der Zukunft liegenden postapokalyptischen Welt zeigt sich sogar an Kleinigkeiten wenn gelootet wird. Ein Schlüsselbund der die Zeiten überdauert hat heißt hier "Altes Klangspiel" eine Digitaluhr "Dunkles Armband". Passende Bezeichnungen für Dinge aus einer Vergangenheit an die sich niemand mehr erinnert.

    Open World RPG, Exploring Freedom... diese Worte werden in Zukunft nicht mehr genannt werden können, ohne Horizon Zero Dawn zu zitieren. Ein absolutes Must Have für die PS4 und unter Garantie bei allen Kritikern ein heißer Kandidat für das Game of the Year 2017.    … Expand

    3 - It can become somewhat of a guessing game what resources you need to hold on to and which you can sell, especially considering the huge variety of items to pick up, and limited inventory space. This is made worse due to components being labeled as tradeable with merchants or needed for crafting and that never really being the case.

    4 - While the dynamic weather can be good visually, trying to climb somewhere and getting low visibility halfway through due to a sudden fog/night change can get frustrating. I literally had to put the controller down and wait as that went away to continue climbing.    … Expand

Once you have mastered their weaknesses and got used to the different weapons available to you, you should be well on your way. Tallnecks are a brilliant way to make the player work a little bit to actually reveal more of the map, and it's fun to do!

Getting the mount to do a sharp turn, or to even drop down a tiny ledge can sometimes feel clunky, but you can fast travel to places if you prefer.

Some aren't fond of crafting in games, but I find this crafting system nice for tension, and easy to access. Many of the characters are very flat and uninteresting - but in a post Witcher 3 world game writers seem to be struggling to reach the new high water mark.
    Upon seeing the reveal videos I had written this game off as a typical AAA title; strong in a few areas like combat or exploration but falling flat in other areas. Maybe with a tacked on mediocre multiplayer mode. Another Assassin's Creed basically. I am glad to be so wrong.

    Foi um dos primeiros jogos que joguei no PS4 e me surpreendeu positivamente, fui jogar sem nunca ter visto nem o trailer e acredito que joguei só porque veio de graça na caixa. Mas fiquei preso ao jogo do início ao fim. Amei a gameplay e a história ...

    First, the game is visually stunning, and one of the best on PS4. The picture quality is excellent, and the light is sensational.
    Second, with the focus on the bow, the gameplay is quite unique.

    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.
