    I really enjoyed the game narrative, it got me playing for hours. Also the graphics caught my attention.

    A truly inspired game, with truly excellent attention to detail.
    However, the plot did not particularly convince me.
    But the gameplay is fast, intuitive, and satisfying.

    That game is full of **** It's the most boring game I've ever played. Story and characters are empty. And some parts are really hard. And it's like torture. I hate this game.

    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.

    HZD is a unique exploration of a post apocalyptic world, and a journey of discovery to uncover what befell humanity.

    It's an amazing brand new IP video game. You're playing in a post-apocalyptic world fighting dinosaur robot. Enough saying. My pet peeve is the game is still rough on cutscene and certain part but i can tolerate that.

    Uno de los juegos mas sobrevalorados que me he llevado a la consola. Es difícil hacer algo mas genérico y sin alma que esto, técnicamente no está mal pero en 2017 hay que exigir MAS, hay que exigir 60fps y hay que exigir que haya mas animaciones que una triste voltereta de mono borracho para esquivar.

    Horizon: Zero Dawn is an excellent action RPG thanks to an enormous detailed world, challenging enemies, and an inventive mysterious story. It might not be Witcher 3 level of excellence because of weak AI and boring characters & dialogues however it's one of the best RPGs I've played.

    Just played and completed this game, it was a massive struggle to finish
    game due to being so bored by the end. The first 3 hours of this game
    are amazing but then it drops off a cliff to reveal a game that is the same thing all the way through. I would suggest to anyone to play the first 3 hours but then just to turn it off as you will have seen what game has to offer by this point.

    有一说一，这真的不是一款好玩的开放世界游戏，对比旷野之息，GTA5和巫师3，地平线唯一的优势就是画面精美，机器的细节精湛。除此之外就没有了，我甚至觉得将地平线做成线性的而不是开放世界可能更好，因为它本身有一个很好的故事，但是在大量的重复的支线任务和不知所云毫无理由的收集元素面前，剧情被强烈地割裂掉了。在最终决战的时候能感觉到线性带来的爽快，但是最终BOSS战=没有BOSS这个设定不理解。
    游戏性比较单一，甚至觉得玩法内核不是特别有趣，近战只有两种攻击方式，而且长矛没有更多的选择。潜行在游戏前期还有点用，到了后期直接硬刚感觉收益更大。战斗主要是攻击机器的弱点，如果不攻击弱点则很难打掉机器。机器其实挺厉害的，伤害都特别高，如果掉以轻心很容易就被灭了。相比之下人类敌人就是人工智障，感觉智商非常低。除了战斗以外比较新鲜的就是覆盖机器当成友军或者坐骑。    有一说一，这真的不是一款好玩的开放世界游戏，对比旷野之息，GTA5和巫师3，地平线唯一的优势就是画面精美，机器的细节精湛。除此之外就没有了，我甚至觉得将地平线做成线性的而不是开放世界可能更好，因为它本身有一个很好的故事，但是在大量的重复的支线任务和不知所云毫无理由的收集元素面前，剧情被强烈地割裂掉了。在最终决战的时候能感觉到线性带来的爽快，但是最终BOSS战=没有BOSS这个设定不理解。

    土匪营，劣化区，真的就只是是突突突，打了一两个就没意思了。

World is way too much packed together, you can hardly go anywhere and you are already in your waypoint. There's no great distances between places. Maybe second one will be better, time will tell, but i will never go back to play first one.… Expand

    It was merely a good experience. But it would be much better if it was in the hands of a bigger company. Dodge mechanics are the worst and weapon, armor, etc. variety too. The storytelling was good but mimics of the characters are very bad.

    Horizon Zero Dawn is a beautiful game with a creative and fresh storyline. But it also feels a little off from time to time due to the choices in art design and the mix between modern and ancient elements. In terms of gameplay, it is perfectly fine.

Mainly because the mix between the modern elements and the ancient elements sometimes are out of balance. Yet this is a game that, despite its shortcomings, continues to hold your attention due to the mysterious story, challenging combat and well-developed main character Aloy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ah Horizon Zero Dawn - a game I was initially hesitant about playing at the time of release. It took some time before I decided to invest my time into this new IP from Guerilla Games but I am very glad I ultimately did. The introduction of the game offers all valuable information the player needs in a very effective way. Without dumbing anything down for the player, the MC Aloy is immediately thrown into a story flow tutorial which includes a delve into that sweet sweet lore of what happened to the earth pre-game, its current state, and how to survive. Hellbent on finding her birth mother Aloy goes through a very thorough and well written story that weaves all available parts of the game together. Once completing the introduction the player has free range of the entire map. While it is advisable to grind some levels before entering certain areas, nothing in this gorgeous landscape is locked - the world is completely open to players choice. Despite it's age, Horizon's graphics are impressive in both the nature landscapes you cross and the giant machines you face all have a fantastic intricate design. In general, the gameplay is highly enjoyable. From the way Aloy moves, the varied combat systems with a wide variety of weaponry, and radio tower completions are all fun to do, unlike in other games. While Aloy is a character that can be slightly molded by the players choices, she is at her base interesting and entertaining. Her development from a naive but brave outsider, to respected and well educated leader is fantastic to playthrough. The ending of her plotline is slightly predictable but no less fascinating, in that while it's kind of obvious she is a clone of a pre-postapocalyptic woman, it is so wonderful to go through all the data and stories the machines, ruins, and an ally by the name of Sylens teaches Aloy, and the player. HZD is a game that anyone can play and enjoy, even those people who prefer to only play as characters of their own gender. For soundtrack lovers this game is a gold mine with a most delightfully played orchestra whose musical influences change with the regions, fights, and cinematics. With great influences from indigenous music, one can get lost in the sound of the flutes and once again lost with more European influences including mesmerizing string pieces and French horns. The diversity of the soundtrack also rings true with all aspects of the game. HZD is in no way a white washed game and contains vitally important characters of all races, genders, and even those with mental illnesses, in a way that feels organic like in real life. Though HZD is not entirely a perfect 10 and does have it's failings in various ways, though when thinking on it I can't actually recall what it is I don't like about this game. It may just be a personal hang up. From the studio that made Killzone, a boring grey shooter, Horizon Zero Dawn is a colossal improvement not just for Guerilla Games but for a great deal of studios and releases.

    TL;DR Horizon Zero Dawn is a gorgeous game with great gameplay, soundtrack, HUD, combat, and graphics. Plus! There are no microtransactions, expensive DLC's, or useless multiplayer modes. Guerilla Games just did it right.    … Expand

    The story is probably the best I’ve come across in any game, which I certainly won’t spoil here. But I was very glad that I played through this game without any knowledge beforehand about it.

    Aloy is a great character. She has depth and personality with the full range of emotions (which is to say she’s multifaceted and not at all a 1 dimensional character). She’s strong but compassionate and real. The rest of the cast is also memorable and each has their own distinct personality, making the whole narrative feel complete and immersive, instead of having each NPC feel cut and pasted.

    Graphically this is definitely the most beautiful game I’ve ever seen. I don’t know how they were able to pull it off. There’s some much detail in everything and the environments are beautifully lit. The machines themselves are really impressive to examine because of how detailed they are.

    The gameplay here really shines brightly. I found it to be highly dynamic and felt like I had options for how I would approach each fight. This made combat never feel stale, even with familiar enemies. I’m a big fan of upgrade systems, and this game definitely satisfies in that regard.

    Overall, this is an essential game. Highly recommend it.    … Expand

Maybe a novel I suppose, but not really ideal for that, this is a perfect game story line.

    Second is the combat. I love the combat because it is so varied not in a faked way but because you can genuinely use different tactics both on the same enemy, so you could address a Longlegs in more than one way, but also different enemies are better addressed with not necessarily with different weapons (there are three different bows, but I count that as "bow", although there are choices needed in setting them up differently) but in a lot of cases different tactics and the differences make sense with the design of the enemy.

    You even get the difference between a lone, powerful enemy that can be a slog (and you're trying to damage components to reduce its fighting effectiveness while damaging it, hiding and setting it on fire/freezing it/electrically stunning it) and multiple tough enemies where the best tactic is to corrupt or override some, so they fight each other. Except that you can't do that if they are all corrupted, so you need then to fight multiple enemies. Therein is a variety much greater than the number of machines would suggest. Then there are people, and multiple ways of killing them in small or large groups.

    No enemy ever feels trivial. Even watchers can hit your health significantly if you're focusing on something else and they hit you with a jump attack late in the game.

    The best thing about the combat, though, is the balance. I am just starting to play games on "hard", and this has two settings above and I think three below this, but when I fail on an enemy I don't feel it is an impossible slog like some games and have to reduce difficulty, I just change tactics. Only once did I even look up the tactics on line (first fully-functioning corrupted deathbringer, with humans to pester Aloy as she fights it), it's just that you have a lot of choices available.    … Expand

The performance from Ashly Burch was phenomenal she did a great job at giving a charismatic and deep performance by conveying authentic emotion; Lara Rossi, Lance Reddick, John Hopkins, and Adjoa Andoh gave superb supporting performances. The open world is so much fun, I how much extra stuff there is to do. I love how with a lot of the conversations you have choices of how you want to respond which effects Aloy and the story. The writing specifically the story and characterisation of Aloy is outstanding, I love how unique and original the story was and how well created Aloy was she is one of my all ime favorite video game characters now. The visuals are gorgeous. The world design is beautiful, the robot designs are so cool, and the character designs were excellent especially Aloy. The combat is awesome but the melee attacks are kind of boring. The music was also spectacular especially the end credits which was really beautiful sounding. An A+ from me.

    As far as handling goes, there isn't a lot of explanation to guide you, so you have to figure out a lot for yourself. Once you do however, the game does become a lot more enjoyable, I just wish they did more of a how to.
    The potion/trap/rock/call your mount situation is messy, don't like it at all, if you are in a battle you might need to scroll through 8 things to get what you require and by that time... you're dead!
    Shooting arrows at giant machines, not sure how that would actually work, guess I'm just used to guns!
    And my final beef is the jumping... sometimes you can climb a ledge, most of the time you can not.
    Even if the rock is lower than a ledge you can grab, if the game says you can't climb it, you go another way.
    Positives.
    Story, it's got me hooked and I'm not even finished yet.
    Gameplay, it's smooth and not too many issues at all, definitely action packed and plenty to do.
    Originality.

The gameplay can then be whatever you want it doesn’t really matter anyway. Horizon crank this formula up toThis title is built upon the absolute blueprint of how successful Triple A games come out to be. They MUST be Open World and have good graphics, check and check; if the previous conditions are fulfilled the story will be treated as a good one regardless of the plot and characters. The gameplay can then be whatever you want it doesn’t really matter anyway. Horizon crank this formula up to eleven displaying a clever twist to make it even more marketable than it already was, despite being much inferior than any game in the genre.

    Games like these are the ones that once made me wonder: why the f*ck is this Open World? It is in past tense because I eventually found out the answer: they fool people easily and sell a lot. This has got to be the emptiest open world game I’ve ever seen! Despite some villages in between there are THREE things to do: find people to prompt side quest, kill robots and looting bushes for unspectacular items. You have beautiful landscapes as the scenery yay, but it’s f*cking 2017! If you’re still impressed at staring at nature in a videogame you haven’t played any game since 2010

    The game heavily relies on the graphics/facial expressions/voice acting to stand out so whenever you find an NPC there is this stupid dialogue tree mechanic so feel free to ask useless questions to bore you to death even further since the dialogues are mostly tedious as h*ll. Also since the game is pretty vanilla for thirteen years old the writing is very cliché, chances are you’ll default to selecting the option that ends the conversation as your first choice early on. Voice acting and facial expressions means absolutely nothing if the content is lacking

    Its structure rips off Witcher… a lot! Even if you’re the Wicther’s fan number one I don’t think you liked walking up to bushes and pressing X to gather useless items. Well… Horizon “enhances” this mechanic by having a minuscule inventory for you to manage and given how the resources must be crafted with each other to give the real items (like potions, consumables and stuff) there is no way to know what to keep..

    But to grind you’ll mostly need to kill stuff and surprise surprise: Horizon’s gameplay is f*cking awful. I know innovation is good and all but “bow and arrow against robotic animals” is a concept doomed from the start. One might wonder: how is an arrow supposed to pierce and damage a machine? I don’t know, but the game treats it as if the metal carcass is just a sturdier flesh, you don’t have to damage the inner circuits or cut some wire; attacking the carcass works somehow. Kinda works, the robots have some weak points:, if you land a shot in the precise pixel it does five times the damage, and believe me: you gotta land that shot! Because shooting arrows anywhere other than the weak point takes forever to kill

    You must be sneaky in combat, the game’s notion of stealth is as follows: the player can duck on tall grass to be completely concealed from enemies… that’s it. Horizon stealth is just that. If an enemy sees you they can “telepathically” warn the others, this can make some sense with machines but even human enemies have this unexplained power. When you are discovered you have to back off until the alert goes down; you can’t brute force your way through, making the gameplay unidimensional as f*ck. Let’s take Metal Gear 5: you can plan meticulously your route but sometimes you just want to go balls to the walls and Rambo everybody, the game offers you so many options. Horizon is f*cking bow and arrow man! So crouching on tall grass it is.

    Needless to say: the game is super boring. You’re up against machines with a much weaker sniper rifle/semi-automatic weapon; the game is not built to be a shooter as cover is scarce.
    You have a spear that works as a slow sub-weapon, but it should clearly be the other way around with melee combat as the main.

    The story isn’t good enough to engage me, the world-building is lame and the characters are awful, stereotypical and super safe ones. The matriarchal society and the female protagonist are the cherry on the top. Given how plastic and by the books the game is, I’m pretty sure the strategy of surfing on the feminist trend was the very first decision they made. It’s just there to be more marketable and please your typical “journalist” who complained about killing black guys in Resident Evil 5 (despite the fact the game was in Africa).

    Well, clearly their strategy worked. I don’t trust the Critic Reviews in the slightest but their bribed reviews managed to deceive most players who totally shut their brains off and went with the flow. Fifteen-year old CoD/FIFA players might think this is the best game ever but if you played any open world game you won’t be tricked here. Horizon is the absolute worst example of a Sony exclusive and a total celebration of how f*cked up is the state of gaming industry    … Expand

Enemies spamming attacks, moves randomly (inertia? no, never heard.) and constantly, they are always locked on Aloy (but player don't have such a luxury). Even the slow motion is not helping much.

Tiene un concepto super interesante con las maquinas y demás cosas, y con la propia ambientación que el juego presenta, sin embargo, muchos elementos interesantes de la historia no se explican hasta el final y el modo historia es algo largo, con muchísimo relleno innecesario ya sea a forma de diálogos múltiples que no aportan nada o misiones que solo son o matar maquinas o ir del punto a al punto b, cosa que puede llegar a cansar bastante con el paso del tiempo, ademas de que a veces las distancias a recorrer son demasiado largas y en esos recorridos puedes encontrarte maquinas que te frustren todavia mas el recorrido. Luego tenemos el sistema de combate que no es la gran cosa y tiene un monton de problemas en la base RPG que presenta, con un sistema de subir de nivel que parece metido a la fuerza al no sentir mucho progreso por lo pauperrimas que son las estadísticas de tu personaje asi como muy pocas armas, habilidades inútiles y un inventario que aun mejorandolo al máximo es demasiado limitado y un montón de objetos que posiblemente no usaras y el juego ni espera que los uses (principalmente hablo de las trampas y algunas pociones). La IA de las maquinas es mas o menos buena aunque injusta, y aun siendo una misión de menos nivel que tu personaje, o la maquina sea menor nivel tuyo, pueden llegar a destrozarte si no conoces sus debilidades, en este sentido, el nivel recomendado de la misión es casi igual de malo que Patapon 3, (otro juego que he jugado que no me gustó). También a veces al ir hacia una misión te puede pasar que te encuentres con enemigos muy fuertes, y esos enemigos son incluso mas difíciles de vencer que ganar la propia misión a la que te diriges (me llega a recordar a Final Fantasy 2 en este sentido, aunque incluso prefiero ese juego a este), lo que demuestra que la curva de dificultad es muy mala. Lo que si lo salva la jugabilidad es lo adrenalinico que pueden llegar a ser los combates, aunque no quita que siga siendo injusto de vez en cuando (y esto hablando de la dificultad normal).
    Los gráficos son muy buenos debo decir, aunque los modelados de los personajes y sus animaciones son muy mejorables; parecen de PS3.
    En resumen, Horizon Zero Dawn no es un mal juego, pero tiene muchos problemas en la jugabilidad, y la historia si bien tiene muchos conceptos interesantes, se alarga de forma excesiva, con muchos diálogos y misiones que no aportan nada.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story of horizon zero dawn is outstandingly awesome in every aspect of plot-making technique. Thrilling and horrifying backstory described accurately through the main story, using holograms, audio logs, data points, and vantage points. It is that good because two movies can be made out of HZD that would tell us about pre-apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic worlds. Graphics for 2017 colored, well-structured, mingled with particles, effects, and overall beauty but with a flaw of render distance to improve fps-rating to a stable number. The OST gives emotions of hope and hopelessness at once. it coated all of the characters into one theme of struggle, prevailing, surviving, and living.
    I got one point off because interactivity in this world comes to a zero. Everything plastic, almost indestructible, only machines can ramp a tree down or a bush, or rocks and other stuff but the player cannot do a thing in settlements, camps, wildlife world. The world is just a texture as NPCs in it.
    Facial animations and cutscenes were greatly advanced in frozen wilds DLC, although in the main game it was terribly executed, You would lose connection to people, main characters, their emotions, feels, sentimental talk just because of unnatural acting(voice acting was superb though).
    The AI for machines was made pretty good but for human enemies is just another story. it is blunt, foolish, annoying.
    I would recommend anyone this game who wants a great story, characters, world, RPG mechanics, fun and exciting gameplay.    … Expand

    good game with a couple of issues. I did not like the story nor the characters at all. However the gameplay and combat were so satisfying. It is not as polished as something like ghost of tsushima or spiderman, but is better than all ubisoft AAA titles.

    Lembro do hype que fiquei quando esse jogo foi anunciado e da alegria que fiquei quando comecei a joga-lo. Gráficos lindíssimos, história muito boa, inimigos incríveis e combates divertidos. Show!

    Flat story, chaotic gameplay. Yes, it looks nice... but theres very little beyond that. It tries to be RPG... but its not. It may be ok for younger players, but as an adult... im looking for "adult" stories.

    Positivo:
    1. História maravilhosa, bem amarrada, e original (ainda que o gênero de distopias esteja próximo à saturação). Uma nova definição para o termo "Deus Ex Machina".
    2. Ambientação perfeita. 3. Gráficos muito decentes. 4. IA muito boa. 5. Ótima variedade de armas (não precisa necessariamente usar todas para zerar o jogo, mas são muito úteis para a platina), opções de gameplay    Positivo:

Ótima variedade de armas (não precisa necessariamente usar todas para zerar o jogo, mas são muito úteis para a platina), opções de gameplay (diversas abordagens podem ser feitas com combate direto, mortes em stealth, ou simplesmente fugindo no lombo de uma máquina), de ambientes e de desafios.
    6. Gameplay prazerosa e fluida.

    Negativo:
    1. Joguei a versão completa em 2021 e ainda sofri com alguns bugs, especialmente de ficar preso dentro de paredes.
    2. A câmera me atrapalhou demais em alguns combates, especialmente contra máquinas voadoras.    … Expand

    The world is beautiful. Destroying machines piece by piece feels amazing, ripping weapons from Thunderjaws and Ravagers before using it against them is illegally fun. The story actually gets interesting halfway through the game, where two hair-chilling cutscenes basically turns all you knew upside down.

    However the enemy human IA is absolute crap, making the fights just... pointless.    The world is beautiful.

    O jogo é muito bom, porém não sei o que deu na cabeça dos produtores para colocar um sistema de loot box nos itens do jogo. A história do jogo também é muito cliche, estava esperando um plot twister que não veio.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In horizon zero dawn we play Alloy. A girl in the middle of an apocalypse whose robots and plants have invaded her world. Alloy's tribe banishes her from her tribe without understanding why. Without making spoilers I assure you that the story is immersive and fun. In short Ofek Zero Shahar is a very fun game and in my opinion one of the best games for the PlayStation 4 console !!!… Expand

    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 ...

    There are some cutscenes that are buggy, glitchy and awkward moments like the movement of each character. Fighting mechanics is sometimes weird and unfair too, there are some machines and bandit that attack and doesn't make any sense because they attack you quickly even if they are not going to attack yet, like it's lacking a rhythm in fighting.

    I mean I just have 4hrs on the clock and strive around in the beginning before the journey starts, getting used to the mechanics and the world itself - just this let me give 10 points. I have enough gaming experience to say this will be a great game. Just the idea is awesome, I am excited to learn more about this world. Shame on me that I have waited until it was free in the game store.I mean I just have 4hrs on the clock and strive around in the beginning before the journey starts, getting used to the mechanics and the world itself - just this let me give 10 points.

    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.
