    Really beautiful game. Graphics are jaw dropping, definitely probably one of the best looking and playing RPG games this year. The future is looking really good for Guerilla. Very satisfied with their VERY FIRST RPG. Really shocking but nonetheless true. This game is flawless.

    First and foremost this game is absolutely breathtaking, this game has some of the best graphics I've seen on console or PC. Combat is fluid and fun, enemy interaction animations are fantastic, and the world feels so alive. Literally all of the negative reviews in the user score are trolls, this game is nothing lower than an 8 at the worst.

    Looking at the negative reviews of this game I'm noticing a lot of people complaining that this is too much like every other open world game, listing things from elder scrolls to far cry.

Seems to me these are reviews coming from people who DON'T LIKE OPEN WORLD GAMES. Having played many of these games and loving them I can say that I also love this game as far as I've gotten (I've been playing since I got it on release). If you enjoy vast open world games you will like this game. On top of a wonderful world it has some of the best combat in ANY open world game I've played thus far. Yes it is limited, but thats because this game isn't trying to be as role-playing heavy as something like elder scrolls. The combat is fluid and can be approached in a lot of ways. It also has a simple stealth system that fits smoothly in the game (if you expected this game to have stealth as good as MGS or styx thats just stupid). The story may not be for everyone, but with a badass main character, and well done side characters it is easy to get absorbed in the story. It's true the story doesn't mount up to things like the Witcher 3 (at least thus far) but come on, thats not really a fair comparison to make, cause very few open world games have a story that does (also don't pay attention to those who knock the ENTIRE STORY in a review that was written in less than 6 hours after the release of the game, I haven't finished the game yet, but I enjoy the story now more than I initially did in the first couple hours). All in all this is the best open world game I've played since the Witcher 3, and since then I've played some great games like Fallout 4, Skyrim, MGS5 (loved this game immensely but as far as the open world goes it was a bust), and Final Fantasy XV (not sure I would call this game great but I had a lot of fun with it).
    While Horizon Zero Dawn doesn't provide the most amazing side quests, they are better than those in FFXV and MGS5 so if you enjoyed those games I'm sure you will enjoy this one. Also it makes up for the concept of the quest being lackluster by having AMAZING COMBAT. Seriously. My favorite games are bloodborne and the first Dark Souls, if that helps give you an idea of what type of combat I like (Horizon Zero Dawn is much less punishing, and deep, but very close to as fun and exhilarating).
    This is a great game, both in visuals and gameplay. Is it perfect? No. But I wouldn't say any huge open world game is. They're big projects, expect some hiccups. If you like the open world style you will like this game.    … Expand

I expected them to create a new and powerful trilogy as they did with Killzone. And was I surprised, with the last installment being a bit of a letdown from them. They spent 4 years creating a incredible new and innovative world with an equally exciting plot. They designed Horizon Zero Dawn with no exceptions, they went all out. The combat is incredible and the graphics are outstanding, im mainly PC Gamer but even then I have to props to the developer for creating such an incredible detailed world. The story has a plot twist in the end which rounds the score higher. What I mainly want to discuss is how fun and in depth the story goes. Its actually one of the only plots that really created something excited and really gives me hopes that there is still awesome developers out there who dont just love grabbing money from fans. But like every game Horizon Zero Dawn has one major flaw. The side-missions or quests. There all alike and the same pretty much, each one requires you to get something for someone or do something for them, the first few times its fun but it gets a little repetitive over time but underneath that is very likely the best PlayStation Exclusive of 2017.

    Pros:
    -Attention Grabbing Graphics
    -In Depth Story
    -Innovative Gameplay
    -Detailed Combat
    -Ingenious use of enemies

    Cons:
    -Repetitive Side Quests

    Overall I would give this game a 9.3./10 which is really a attention grabbing score.    … Expand

The main character of the game is Aloy a girl who is part robot part human and different, woah woah, from everyone else. Her voice acting is sub-par by today's standards as well as her animations, lipsync, character development, and general personality. She's just your typical witty heroine against the world cause something bad happened to her.

    The combat of the game is slow and monotonous. Usually you just sit back and use arrows and when they get close you roll away with your unlimited i-frames and unlimited stamina. There are options to use traps and such but I never found a use for them outside of where the game forces you to use them. My largest gripe with the combat is how dumb the arrow system is. You have to craft arrows as you need them and that could be a cool mechanic but Horizon zero Dawn just puts it down to a simple button press. You get loads of scraps from enemies and then just press a button. There's no animation, no thinking, no wait time, no anything. You craft them mid combat with no repercussion. The game could at least have you stop and do a little animation leaving you open for attack but no.

    The entire inventory system of the game is flawed too not just crafting. Every enemy drops a bunch of crap, you're very limited on space until you expand, and even will a fully expanded inventory you still fill up with ease. The game wants you to do management but the usefulness of items is so poorly portrayed since everything is automated I have no idea what to ditch and what to keep. Often times I will ditch an item only to have it needed in the next quest I picked up, it's a huge pain.

    The graphics on the game can be good at times, mostly in screenshots. Animations are poorly done in this game on everything that isn't a robotic animals. Humans, realistic wildlife, and foliage are all just choppy or weightless. The animation that most irked me was the lifeless look of Aloy's bow drawing animation. There's nothing behind it and having to look at it as often as you do you'd think the developers would put a lot of time into it specifically. But it's boring and weightless. Just awful to look at. I've had a few enemies glitch into rocks and other terrain as well as NPCs bug out during dialogue and sometimes stop moving entirely. Very immersion breaking. On the plus side the textures for a lot of things such as the robots and plants are very well done. Again the human assets are poorly done.

    I don't want to spoil the story too much but let me just say that it's very generic and exactly what I expected out of it. There was a chance for a twist and the game decided to just go the typical route. The ending does set it up for sequel potential, I don't see it getting one, but it's there. Everything is tied up at the end so don't throw a fit at a cliffhanger.

    All in all game looks pretty in screenshots and can have a few fun moments like sliding while shooting. But they get boring fast and the game leaves little to keep attention. Typical overworld game bogged down by glitches, bland gameplay, and a very easy to read story.    … Expand

It shines best when you're in jungle areas fighting robot dinosaurs, with a combat system that gives you multiple approaches to fighting, rewarding precision shots to take enemies out by targeting components, with some impressive static visuals. Its a real showcase of the power of the PS4 Pro. However, the game has some serious faults. Large sections of the game have you fighting human enemies in corridors similar to Uncharted, and with some mediocre AI and visuals, they get boring fast. Other sections dump exposition on you with audiologs, as much as a 40 minute stretch of playing Gone Home. Though the visuals are impressive for static pictures, once you interact with the environment or look around, the lack of motion in the environment, how plants and water don't react to you, how draw distances are obscured by fog in almost every area and many sections are low visibility to the point of resembling Silent Hill makes even the graphics unimpressive at times. What Horizon Zero Dawn does well is just a pretty routine affair of copying what other great games have done, and its a good showing for that, but what it doesn't do is add much to the genre or come up with any hook or innovation. If you've played Skyrim and Far Cry and Arkham and so on already, this game might get repetitive fast.… Expand

    I typically never pre-order but I had to pre-order this one and I'm glad I did because it was a good bet.

    Pro:
    - Likable protagonist
    - Gorgeous world
    - Complex AI
    - Intriguing story
    - innovative combat/strategy

    Con:
    - Side quests aren't anything special

    I would give this game a 9.5 really, but rounded up to 10. Worth every $ in my opinion.

Anyways for a start this is one of the best looking games ever and the best looking game on console by far. Uncharted 4 is a close second and thats it. Ten hours in and I never get tired of just walking around climbing and doing nothing lol. Gameplay is so addictive. Every encounter is different. You have to figure out their weaknesses and how to move and respond. The story is surprisingly more engaging than I thought. Actually it seems to be very well written so far. Obviously in 2017 it is hard to avoid cliches with being raised and the loner type person but you cant really criticise that. Crafting and armor and weapons are great and diverse. I know there is a lot more because I seen somebody a few days ago in a playthrough with the whole weapon wheel filled so I'll just say myself that its very in depth. Nothing bad apart from slowish close combat at times and a few not the best executed voice acting lines but not game breaking. Its open world so with all the dialogue needed to be recorded thats something I could forgive and forget. Overall the voice acting is great. So far 10/10 and I don't see myself changing my mind… Expand

    The craft system is easy and the world is plentiful with the items needed to craft bigger pouches, ammo, or potions.

    The rewarding feeling you get when you take out the giant machines is great and the components they drop are valuable in more ways than one.

    Aloy is a great heroin and her dialogue choices are a great way to build her up either with her compassion, survival intellect, or by making her a savage brute.

    The characters you will meet along the way are just as memorable as her and i dont think i will be forgetting them anytime soon.

    Namely, that this game is incredibly underwhelming, in pretty much every way imaginable. Combat is uninspired, the RPG mechanics feel tacked on, the AI is easily exploited especially when coming out of tall grass, and the story is.... well... laughably bad. The animation and acting is simply bizarre to look at, and the overall implication of the narrative that a certain race of people ruined things for everyone is horribly bigoted and offensive. This game is simply not worth your time in any sense of the word. It is, in essence, an Assassin's Creed type game. It is promoting itself on this promise of delivering a game with a really cool idea, but the reality of the experience is more than simply lackluster. It is downright pathetic.

It more relies on stealth killing which is more like uncharted. ( ranged combat has lot of fun tho and there are many arrows and traps you can use, more like a hunter instead of a warrior ;) )

Riesce a farvi calare nel suo mondo, a rendervi partecipe dei problemi e delle convinzioni di ogni tribù, riesce quasi a farvi sentire gli odori delle spezie passeggiando tra le strade delle sue città, e a farvi innamorare dei suoi tramonti e delle sue albe. Il mondo di Horizon è uno di quelli che vi resta in mente, anche quando spegnete la vostra console.

    Questo è ciò che ci ha trasmesso Horizon Zero Dawn, un titolo altamente atteso ma che per noi ha pienamente soddisfatto le aspettative.    … Expand

    I didn`t believe this was possible: everything open world-action games did wrong in the past years, Horizon Zero Dawn is doing right. You say "Witcher"? I say "who"? You say "Uncharted"? I say "forget it". You say "Ubisoft"? I laugh. This is a masterpiece.

    Horizon: Zero Dawn starts as Aloy's personal story and then turns into a bigger, wider experience. Thanks to its fantastic and stuffed open world, its one of the best games of 2017 already.

    A near perfect fusion of Action Adventure and RPG with intense combat, fascinating world-building, fantastic design, breathtaking graphics and an interesting story with a great protagonist. Took me over 35 hours to beat this game and I enjoyed every minute of it.

    What a game! A gorgeous open world that is finally not just an empty shell, but a rich and complex place full of activities and things to discover. It's a joy just to run around the map and look around. Besides that, it's highly visible they invested in writing, Alloy is a beautifully developed character mixed up in a very interesting and uniqe story. The gameplay is up to par as well,What a game!

    This is a statement that Guerilla Games is one of the best developers out there, and I am hooked to see what they come up with next.    … Expand

    Really great game, especially the AI. The AI is really good. Like when you put down a tripwire robots actually jump over them! They are so smart. 10/10 would play again.

    What an amazing achievement in gaming. In the few hours I've spent with this game, the world is very amazing and the combat is very satisfying. I haven't had a game give me this feeling since The Last of Us all the way back in 2013. I can already tell I'm in a for treat!

    Awesome.Also the game has its own originality, and the world and story is fantastic. Aloy is pure charm and all people will fall in love with her. Playstation exclusive or not, this game is perfect to me anyways.

    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.
