    Uma das melhores experiencias que tive nesta geracao, alem de lindo o jogo conta com uma visao do futuro pouco explorada e todas as side quests sao muito bem elaboradas...o mundo aberto é de cair o queixo com a variedade de ambientes e personagens para interagir...no PS4 PRO em 4K garante um dos graficos mais lindos desta geracao...recomendo a todos.

    La nueva IP de Guerilla viene a ser un imprescindible para PS4. Su historia, jugabilidad, mecánicas son una maravilla. Destacar a la protagonista, Aloy. Te enamorarás de ella :)

    Game-play is worth a buy alone. It's some of the most fun I've had in a game in recent memory. However, the story was a bit messy and some of the side quests and voice acting were bad. But my overall experience was great.

    A história também é muito boa e tem algo que considero fundamental que são os mistérios e as soluções desses mistérios são inteligentes e interessantes.
    Os combates e a jogabilidade estão em um alto nível, os controles respondem prontamente ao comando, as máquinas são muito rápidas e cada uma tem uma forma diferente de enfrentar, o que demanda estratégia, furtividade, e dinamismo entre os diversos equipamentos que o jogo lhe oferece.

    A great first attempt at an open world game from Gorilla Games, and a nice departure from Killzone. Unfortunately, the game does suffer from some very major flaws, flaws so big that the second to none graphics do not make for them.
    Cons:
    -Aloy, from start to finish, feels terrible to control. Causing constant frustration as you feel like you have to fight with the controller 24/7.

    -Poor story.
    -Weird looking character interaction cutscenes.
    -The sense to explore is curtailed by a lack of incentive, but also having every unique part of the map be part of a quest means that you are punished for your exploration unless the quest is active.
    -The combat looks great but feels bad, and often times leaves you frustrated due to a poor camera that gets stuck on everything, Aloys poor movement, AI enemy animation being scripted to play out exactly as animated regardless of Aloys positioning leading to being knocked down when not having been hit, similar to the same issue present in monster hunter games.
    -The Enemy variety is a little small.
    -The NPC and world interaction are bare bones.    … Expand

    My biggest problem with the game is the story and Immersion. The characters were boring and predictable and for some reason a lot of missions felt like chores. And the world, even though it was pretty, felt un-interactive and bland.

    This game is a good example of a game that has an open world without good reason. It felt like the developers made it into an open world because it’s popular but they had no idea how to make it good. It was full of unnecessary and boring content that made the game feel to “gamey” which ruined the immersion.

    Overall it felt like the game had been made in a board meeting and they tried to fill all the checkboxes of what is expected in a good game. But in the end this made the game bland without any passion or soul.    … Expand

    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.

    Fascinating setting and story, amazing graphics and solid gameplay. Melee combat needs some improvement and world`s interaction is really limited outside of combat, especially compared to modern open worlds. Main story is good, but sub-quest are a bit fetchy.

Every mechanical enemy is engraved with numerous mechanical parts which can be exploited for weaknesses or critical hits as well as their parts can be used against them. The visuals are mindblowing with a lot detail that helps in for making this world feel more alive. Whether if it's a sunny day with every grass blade shining and reflecting light or a stormy one with rain pouring down as Aloy reacts to it, this game always manages to look visually stunning. The plot is interesting and original with plenty of side missions that will keep you busy through out your journey. The main strength of horizon zero dawn is how well it has managed to incorporate mechanics from different open world games without making them repetitive or overwhelming. The world is diverse with different terrains, sceneries and cultures. There are 5 different cultures in the game with each culture having it's own lore and architecture. Each culture has it's own unique city, village or settlement The only negative that I could come up with is the human AI which might be more dumber than a Ubisoft AI. However the human encounters wee pretty decent but managed to feel a little underwhelming compared the excellent machine AI and combat. Platinumed this game on my first playthrough. I would recommend this for every ps owner, and non ps4 owners should buy a ps4 for this game.… Expand

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

    There's a fun game in there, but Horizon Zero Dawn wastes my time more than I would like. Some parts of it feel like they were an after-thought (human enemies, busywork) or barely tested (many of the sidequests). The story element is mediocre, voice acting and camerawork almost laughable, and the open world mechanics exist mainly to kill time.

The side quests also have no point and aren't worth doing. The main story is good for a video game but the dialogue and voice acting aren't anything special, and a lot of the dialogue is cringe worthy. The game feels more like it was made for young adults and teens instead of adults, so keep that in mind if you are an adult. The characters look like shiny latex dolls. The draw distance on the open world is so bad that the world looks like a fake plastic model a lot of the time when looking into the distance. It seems like they put a lot of resources into making an open world when it would have been a better game if it was more linear and if they had spent more time on adding depth to the game play, combat, melee combat especially, and the dialogue and voice acting. Over all the game would have been much better if they focused more on quality instead of quantity. I like playing through the main story and the combat felt pretty good, even if melee combat is complete crap. The main point of the game is Aloy, her story and journey to discover the mysteries of the past, and fighting the robots. Other than that the rest is needless filler. I hope they give Guirilla studio more resources to make a more flushed out open world next time, and I hope they get more powerful hardware like PS5 or PC to realize the project completely. It could be amazing.… Expand

Hubs look lively, but don't have that much going on in terms of interactivity. Another would be facial animation.

    This was a real hit out of the park for me. I haven't gone back to do the DLC yet, as I'm in the middle of some other games and other things, but I played the crap out of this for months straight - only Skyrim has compared to it.

    Gameplay 10/10

    The controls on this game are impeccable. You really have to be top-notch engaged in order to not die. And yet, while that can be frustrating from time to time, it really is a matter of practise and skill. It's not hard because it's unfair, it's hard because it's a challenge, and the controls do not fight you, they are just right.

    Creativity 9/10

    The peoples, locations, weapons, enemies, armor, background, and story are all really creative. They stand out as unique and exemplary in the genre.

    Music 9/10

    While also not quite a set of songs that are each specifically memorable, all the music, and sometimes jsut atmospheric background noise like babbling brooks, dripping caves, and blowing wind, are really engaging.

    Visuals 10/10

    The visuals on this are absolutely stunning. Unsurpassed. I've never seen such a beautiful game. I often ran around the countryside just to admire the undiscovered corners of it. And to make it better, the game gives you EXCELLENT camera control, including nearly infinite flexibility when taking screenshots.

    Also, no points taken off for sexualization. There's ZERO. No "female armor" problems, no sexed-up female characters. No tight skirts, no naked background dancers. None of the usual crappy tropes that need to die. This game was stunningly well informed and progressive. Female characters, not just the main one, are fully formed human beings. And all clothing is functional and exactly what you'd make in order to survive, period. Very, very realistic.

    Characters 7/10

    There aren't that many characters, but who they have are strong. Many are from a time long ago that you slowly learn about over the course of the game, and those feel well fleshed out as well. Not the strongest part of the game, but still well done.

    Plotline 9/10

    This was really unexpected for me the first time. It's clearly a post-apocalypse thriller, but what the apocalypse was and how it happened and what's going on now was very creatively put together and unique. I look forward to future sequels in this world.

    Emotional Engagement 9/10

    What happens to Aloy, and what happened to the world that slowly unpeels, are some heavy fare. They're well done and conveyed strongly.

    Replayability 10/10

    I started replaying IMMEDIATELY upon winning this game. Even when (at the time) there was no New Game+. I liked it that much. Playing on a harder level really changes the feel of the game, especially on Ultra Hard.

    Difficulty */10

    The game can be whatever you want it to be. On average, the game is harder than most. I've died more on this game than on any others for a long time. But there is a difficulty setting, and you can turn it down if you want.

    That being said, replaying on a harder mode, ESPECIALLY Ultra Hard, is a truly new experience. Almost everything is instantly deadly on UH mode, even with game-end stats and equipment. One reason is that on this mode, the enemy AI is also much stronger. Things act like packs and hunt you down, they are much harder to trap and surprise, they're much more aggressive, and they attack almost twice as fast, with half as much telescoping their actions, for twice or more damage, and your melee spear becomes almost uselessly low damage. Also, all ammo becomes 10-100x as expensive, so you really have to not be wasteful, or farm for things the hard way. It's a very different feel.    … Expand

    Horizon Zero Dawn is an ode to single player and open world gaming. The game plays fluently, Aloy is versatile and easy to control, giving you a smooth and enjoyable gameplay.

What I feel is the strongestHorizon Zero Dawn is an ode to single player and open world gaming. The game plays fluently, Aloy is versatile and easy to control, giving you a smooth and enjoyable gameplay. The combat is great, and more importantly it is challenging, fast-paced and in the end satisfactory, with machines that will really make you run and roll for you life like never before. What I feel is the strongest point however, is the story. The first day I saw the trailer at E3 2015, I was immediately interested in discovering the reasons behind the apocalyptic open world that you will explore, and I was not disappointed. The story surprises, shocks and fascinates, keeping you gripped until the epic grand finale. Aloy is of course at the centre of the story, a strong, funny, emotional, and sometimes insolent (to others) character with which you will fall in love with, making you care for her, which is something that not a lot of games manage to do. But it is refreshing to see that all of the side characters that you will meet in your main quest or in side quests, although secondary to Aloy, are well-written and interesting nonetheless. And of course something must be said about the open world. It is gigantic and wonderfully designed, making each region of it beautiful and unique while making you feel little and insignificant to such vastness, but most importantly it is packed with things to do and to discover, making exploration interesting and rewarding. However, even if this review has been a general praise of the game, I must talk about the only problem that I had with this game, and make no mistake it did not ruin my experience at all, but was still annoying. My issue with the game is the day and night cycle. The in-game night is as long as the day and it is really, really dark, and though sometimes fascinating, it makes the combat and exploration a bit more uninteresting and underwhelming. But I repeat it did not ruin the experience as a whole.… Expand

    I'll be the first to admit that before hearing about "Horizon Zero Dawn," I had no prior experience with any of Guerrilla Game's previous titles, and while that doesn't really matter in this case because all of their previous titles ("Shellshock: Nam '67" and the "Killzone" series) were shooters, it's just something of a disclaimer. My experience with the company was nonexistent, but afterI'll be the first to admit that before hearing about "Horizon Zero Dawn," I had no prior experience with any of Guerrilla Game's previous titles, and while that doesn't really matter in this case because all of their previous titles ("Shellshock: Nam '67" and the "Killzone" series) were shooters, it's just something of a disclaimer. My experience with the company was nonexistent, but after seeing this game for the first time at E3 2015, I absolutely fell in love. It looked like a fresh, fun, different take on the post-apocalyptic world setting, and I knew I needed to play it. I unfortunately had to wait until a few months after launch to grab it (thank you, Nintendo Switch and "Breath of the Wild"), but when I did finally get the game and sit down and play it, I couldn't be happier with it.
    "Horizon Zero Dawn" is an all-around exciting game: it's easy to get lost in, but you won't mind getting lost thanks to the vibrant, beautifully-designed landscapes that are brimming with activity and excitement at every corner. The game mixes several different gameplay concepts, mixing stealth with action RPG elements in an open-world styled game, and the result is remarkable. The combat could be occasionally a bit bulky, but once you learn what you're doing, it's really a blast. It's also one of those games that feels easy to get into, but also has some really great difficulty curves throughout. And beyond that, the story is deep and character-driven, and I have to say that I think it's refreshingly awesome that we have a video game with a badass female that's not overly objectified or sexualized in any way. Aloy is a truly captivating character, and Ashly Burch's performance as the character is magnificent. This is a game that has pretty much everything going for it, and even the minor missteps are worth forgiving when you look at the bigger picture.
    Sure, the character models might be a small shortcoming, but the overall design of the game makes that forgivable. Sure, the combat may be a little clunky, but it's forgivable when the game is so exciting and there's enough opportunity to learn what you're doing. "Horizon Zero Dawn" is truly a marvel; it's one of the best games of the eighth generation, and it's an example of how to do a great open-world game with some good crossover here and there. If you haven't gotten to play this gem, what better time than the present? Give it a shot, I'm sure you'll love it!

The game's varying locales make sure that the game's aesthetics never become dull. Great graphics still have the disadvantage of long load times. Make sure you have something to distract yourself with while you're playing this game. Even though the world is large, every place you can go to and activity you can do has a high bar of quality set for it. The world has reason to be exactly as large as it is. I would not suggest going through all the content, but at least finish all four cauldrons, override all five tallnecks, and get blazing sun ranks on all 15 hunting trials. Though there are leveling elements involved, there is a substantial feeling of progress and difficulty (which is best set at normal and never changed). Some of the resource systems feel annoying until you upgrade inventory size. The resources used to make arrows are so common that I never felt like I actually had to think about that system. There are enough unique enemy types to where it feels you have something to sink your teeth into, and you also view them differently as you progress through the game. A robot that gave you some trouble or you avoided at the beginning of the game now feels fairly easy (but not mindlessly so) to take out, and this feels great. Each robot has a complex array of weak points, points weak to certain types of damage, points that you can shoot off to disable some of the robots' attacks, points that you can shoot to make them explode, points that you can shoot off to use against the robots as weapons, points to shoot of to disable a robots shield, points to shoot off to disable invisibility, points that are only exposed by shooting other points, points that the robots only expose on occasion, smaller points that are detachable for some quick loot, and points to shoot loot crates off of the backs of machines among other things. On top of an intelligent AI, there are lots of ways to fight these guys. You can take some time to lay out traps and stock up on health reserves or perhaps override some machines to fight for you. At the same time, you're not too disadvantaged if you just want to get into the action immediately. Human combat, on the other hand, mostly involves shooting people in the head and exploiting AI. It's not awful, but it's pale in comparison. The variety of viable tools you have at your disposal is as wonderfully deep as the robots' design, and somehow the game's mechanics still do not feel bloated. The story is a mixed bag. It starts out very captivating and is enjoyable all the way through, but there is little to no character development or interesting voice acting besides that of the protagonist herself. Only one character besides Aloy (Sylens) felt fleshed out enough for me to feel satisfied. Though the character models look beautiful, the lip syncing is pretty bad. It was by far the most enjoyable when delving into the ruins of past civilization. There you find text logs, audio logs, and holograms that tell a detailed story of humanity's efforts to exist past an apocalypse. Each mission along the main path explains another aspect of this story, and it gives you enough information to satisfy you yet also want to find more. The story only had one part where I really felt emotionally invested, and that was on the second to last mission. The ending is a bit disappointing. Also, for a game that has tons of battles against giant robots, ending the game by fighting an enemy type that has already popped up many times before is underwhelming. The game's ruins show some colossal, ancient war machines that perhaps could have been corrupted by the game's main villain to make for a great final boss.… Expand

    Graphically, this is a beautiful game. So often you just have to stop, go into photo mode and capture a shot of the landscape.

    The world map: Nicely varied landscapes ranging from forests to mountains to desert to tundra.

    The story: Very engaging, you're gripped from the start. The characters are compelling and the voice acting is well executed. The story also maintains an element of mystery about it for the most part too, with each main quest unravelling the events of the past and how the world came to be in Horizon Zero Dawn. The plot teases you with bits of information as you progress, but leaves you wanting to find out more and so keep playing.

    The combat is fantastic, as is Aloy's (the lead character) movement in general. There is great satisfaction in the fluidity of the player movement in this action-intense game.

    A variety of upgradable weapons and armour, as well as unlockable player attirbutes keep player progression interesting and prevent it going stale. And you don' have to go through dull time-consuming fetch quests to upgrade to the best gear either. You will gradually pick up everything you need as you play. There is great value in this.

    The game difficulty is set about right too. The game is not too easy and effort is required to take down the biggest beasts (sometimes I would have to plan out how I was going to use the landscape to my advantage to take down a large mechanical beast, and which weapons would be most effective in the process). However, the game is not so difficult that the flow of the game is hampered and you end up rage quitting.

    It is immediately clear when playing Horizion Zero Dawn that a great deal of effort went into making this game. Everything from quick menus and menu clarity, to the collectibles, to the engaging storyline, the quality combat and the gorgeous landscapes has been so well executed. Certainly one of the best games to come out of this generation.    … Expand

I even found myself annoyed by some of the quest givers because of their facial animations and voice. Even the main character is a bit stiff and boring in general. The combat is good, but becomes REALLY tedious after awhile, when you have to put around 30 arrows into some of the enemies that you often meet.

    Other then that, the world is beautiful and the main quest is good. Have to give cred to the people who created the lightning. Animations of the main protagonist are amazing as well. Overall it is a great game, but because of so many flaws in terms of quality in comparison to other aspects of the game, I can't give it more than 8.

I do not recall a game that was this rewarding to play from a mechanical standpoint, as the game allows you to strategically take down behemoths by methods of your own choosing. If anything, I just wish it were more challenging. Like the mechanics, the story is intriguing, and heartfelt, keeping the player interested throughout, thanks to great pacing and meaningful side-quests. In a year where seemingly every major gaming studio is trying to convert to an open-world RPG format (with many succeeding), let the record show that Horizon did it the best.… Expand

    wow!

    This game is great!

    There are two things that could be better:
    1) Combat with the spear is a tiny bit funky. Could use a lock on system of some sort for that.
    2) Some minor character voice acting isn't so good...

The scenery and atmosphere is so original that I have never seen anything like it. I personally was not able to appreciate the story as much because of the futuristic theme of it, which explains the 8. However, that became a non issue as I started exploring and doing side quests.

And when you can't go with stealth, just find a good cover, jump out of it, shoot 1 arrow, jump back, repeat for the next 30 minutes. And most of the activities rely on this awful combat!

    Horizon doesn't reinvent the wheel, in fact most of it's elements are pretty obvious rip-offs of other succesfull Open-World games. However for the most part everything comes together pretty nicely, resulting in a decent Open-World game that has been streamlined for the PS4 to deliver a sleek user interface and stunning graphics.

However for the most part everything comes together pretty nicely, resulting in a decent Open-World game that has been streamlined for the PS4 to deliver a sleek user interface and stunning graphics.

    That's the short version, for extra detail here are some pro and cons (no spoilers)
    Pro:
    +the game world and the monsters look stunning and hold up even on close-ups
    +the game world has the perfect size and provides enough content for 60 hours
    +many tools and approaches to deal with different types of monsters
    +great graphics, sound and music
    +some interesting side quests & side stories
    +the story has interesting mysteries to uncover (why the hell are there machines prowling through the ruins of an old civilization)

    Con:
    -eventhough the story itself is interesting i don't quite like the way it is presented. A lot of standing around while watching holograms or listening to audio (in the main quests!!)
    -Aloy is a boring character. As a player you don't get a lot of choice during dialoge and story beats, since Aloy is a predefined character. That would be okay with me, but unfortunately she is presented like Superman (or rather a Superwoman) who can do everything and has a flawless character (so she is pretty much a Mary Sue in this game). This kept me from really connecting and relating to her character).
    -the progression system feels broken. There are one or two insane difficulty spikes pretty early in the game. This is due to the Open World design, since there is no incremental increase in difficulty, just two huge leaps. As an inexperienced low level player the enemies the game threw at me were incredibly overwhelming. I was constantly low on ressources and went through the game in stealth mode but still died countless times. At level 50 however, with better stats, skills and equipment i didn't feel challenged at all. Because the game world pretty much has the same difficulty wherever you go it gets really hard for a while and then easier and easier and my inventory was cluttered with ressources.
    -facial animations suck. dialoge scenes and cutscenes in general are rather weak
    -some quests i really didn't like. There is some filler in there and other quests feel broken (e.g. the Hunter trials, where you have to perform timed trials and then get rated. Unfortunately they usually go like: best possible rating on first try or they feel close to impossible)
    -many gameplay mechanics are ripped off from other games but not build upon, sometimes they also don't really fit into the game world (e.g. Aloy can do incredible Uncharted-style climbing, but only in specific areas, in other areas she can't even get over a small fence. Pretty frustrating in an Open World)
    -the skill tree felt rather bland to me)

    All in all not really a must buy, but if you are looking for a Open-World game with pretty graphics and cool monsters this is a good pick    … Expand

    I don't know why ppl is giving a 0 just because it has the same stuff than other open world games. The game is well balanced and gives what an open world game has to offer. I think this is a great game and sure is a must have.

    It is a game that deserves an 8 but i'm giving 10 for all the unsupported 0's.

The enemies, especially those in the latter stages are challenging but fair, and require a strategy other than getting two or three hits in, and then spamming the roll button for half a minute.

    Horizon Zero Dawn is simply perfect. It has all the very best this console generation has to offer and shows other us what a story driven, open world game looks like. The easiest way for me to explain it is to say it is The Witcher 3 with robot dinosaurs and tighter gameplay. Don't read the rest of this review. Spend you time playing Horizon instead.

The easiest way for me to explain it is to say it is The Witcher 3 with robot dinosaurs and tighter gameplay. Don't read the rest of this review. Spend you time playing Horizon instead.

    The strength of the story was the biggest surprise for me. I've seen the screen shots and a few gameplay videos. I knew the game would look great and that I would enjoy fighting robot dinosaurs. I had no idea how much story the game had from the smallest errand quest to the final main story finale. As you play through Aloy's story, you also learn about the world Aloy lives in and how it came to be the way it is. This is original trilogy Mass Effect levels of story. Even better, the voice acting is amazing.

    Even without a story, the world is amazing. You can climb mountains and delve into ancient ruins. You come across packs of robot dinosaurs and animals of all types. You visit the homes of different tribes, each with a unique and memorable flair. Best of all, the world is mercifully finite, and I found myself checking boxes off the map that I would have never attempted in other games. (I'm looking at you, The Witcher 3).

    The gameplay finishes the trifecta of perfection for Horizon. The movement of the bow, sling, and spear attacks are well animated but if you prefer to be more strategic, you set up traps or take over animals and then spectate. The crafting in the game is well done, even if the inventory system could use some help. (Aloy often says "I should have brought a cart". Well, why not a robot dinosaur cart!) You can hunt for the crafting items you need, and often I found myself enjoying the hunt more than the rest of the game.

    Horizon pleases me at many levels and I hate to say this to non-PlayStation owners because I used to be one, but this game is one of the reasons people should buy a PlayStation.    … 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.
