É um excesso de empoderamento feminino, por isso minha nota ao game é 5.… Expand

    Assasin's Creed with dinos. Playing this game was unrealistically boring, I regretted the time spent.

    Mh. This game has great graphics and a great story, but a team still inexperienced behind. The combat system is too precision based and doesn’t offer different approaches to combat. That didn’t allow me to finish it.

    É um jogo muito bom, principalmente a parte de combate que é bem inteligente, porém, na minha experiência no ps5, tive muitos crash's, fiquei preso em muitas paredes e a bússola não funciona muito bem, tinha tudo para ser bem melhor.

I hesitated to even try it, but when it came out for free I gave it a go, and even now when it’s a free game. Sure give it a go, it couldn’t hurt right? Well I’m 15 hours in, and I’m kinda sad I wasted so much time in it. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this boring and reparative game!… Expand

    Story is quite complicated and complex which make me lost so I just give up on trying to understand the story of Horizon.

    Gameplay is fabulous. A lot of variety in weapons and armor with a lot of machines to deal with. But I must say the game difficulty is insane after you leave Nora Land. It makes me very stressful that I need to take it down to Easy difficulty to be able to progress smoothly. Well it will be easy if you have the right weapon for each machine but its like the game offer you all the machines after leaving the Nora land where you don't have all weapons to deal with some machines which will make the experience s4cks.

    Platforming is good, Aloy has some cool movement sort of like parkour thing when climbing or vault over.

    Side Quest is the reason I cannot give this game a great score. Its lengthy like it can take at least 10 minutes (IF) you fully focused to finish the side quest. Its like the side quest consist of several sub side quests that makes you keep wondering around trying to finish the quest. This is the reason that I stop playing the game for a while because its become way too boring.

    Exploration is bad. You don't know where to climb or to go to certain destination due to a tall wall or debris in your way. Sometimes its the reason that makes me wondering around for almost 1 hour trying to find a way to reach to my waypoint. Besides that, Its a rich open world full of machines, wild animals, etc. But, there's very few theme for the area which makes me feel the world kind of bland.

    Overall its a great open world game but with some major issues like difficulty spike which way too soon for me, exploration, side quests that make it too boring and tedious and resource management is kind of frustrating as well.    … Expand

Although the subject loses its interest after a while, it still makes itself play. Maybe it's replayable out of boredom. In addition to these, there were too many screen glitches in its warning to the pc.

    This game is one of my biggest disappointments.
    I did it 3 years after its release and its worldwide consecration when it was one of my priorities to do on PS4.
    Each successful element of the game comes in contrast with a failed element. The robots have an excellent design and are superbly made, just as much as the human characters are missed, without any charisma, non-existent AI,    This game is one of my biggest disappointments.
    I did it 3 years after its release and its worldwide consecration when it was one of my priorities to do on PS4.
    Each successful element of the game comes in contrast with a failed element.

    The robots have an excellent design and are superbly made, just as much as the human characters are missed, without any charisma, non-existent AI, copied/pasted models.

    The starting premise is intriguing but the unfolding of the story is pompous under cover of boring war between clans and the thread of which we quickly drop out of disinterest. Finally the outcome is an indigestible twist that we see coming from the beginning and ultimately very conventional and unnecessarily complex.

    Character development lags behind. Aloy the main character is also part of it. We feel no attachment to her due to a charisma and a more than wobbly character, seen and reviewed 100 times (rejected by others, she forms herself).

    The gameplay is rather successful, especially fights which are complex, with a raised difficulty and different ways of approaching them. A good point.
    Point which will unfortunately be tainted by a very classic and uninteresting skill tree (no real choice to make so not really RPG). The very dirigiste side of the platform aspect of the game is also a bad point, showing that freedom in this universe is all relative.

    The open world is beautifully done, with a coherent universe that makes you want to be discovered. Even today the game is magnificent and is one of the best open worlds created. However again this does not work, because having a huge world with different biomes then requires having interesting content. Side quests and related content, each one is more repetitive than the other.

    In conclusion Horizon is not a bad game, but just a bland open world whose only difference with other games of the same type (Assassin's Creed,...) lies in its universe.
    Everything else seems to be a specification in which all the checkmarks have been checked but whose realization makes it just an average game in everything but excellent in nothing.    … Expand

    Une belle prouesse technique mais le jeu dans sa globalité ne fait avancer le jeu vidéo dans aucun domaine, et même l'écriture et la narration qui ont apparemment occupé le plus gros temps des développeurs restent rn dessous de se qui se fait le mieux. Je n'ai pas réussi à aller au bout de l'aventure tellement je me suis ennuyé.

    Terrible open world game, the meele combat is also horrible, although the bow/range combat is pretty good. The machines are cool too. But in general the game is massively boring, and i had a terrible bug that i had to reload my save and lost hours of game...

    I do not recommend this game

    Rapid movement of the map is very inconvenient

    The ride will disappear, you have to keep repeating to find another new one

    The story is not attractive and keep playing

    ¿Hay alguien que realmente le apasione la Historia de Aloy?

    No entiendo como es que un juego tan artístico, tenga una historia tan predecible y pobre… espero que Forbbiden West sea mejor. Porque realmente deja que desear…

    The story was very intriguing, especially the Frozen Wilds. But the dullness of the environment and emotionless Aloy left this game feel like such chore to even listen to the characters talk.

    Ultra fun combat, intriguing story. My only big gripe is that cutscenes lack variety(all shots are close up on characters faces) and facial animation shows little emotion, which can make long dialogue quite boring.

    Es un juego con historia que trata de ser sentimental pero simplemente no lo logra, los movimientos de cuerpo a cuerpo son poco pulidos y el combate a distancia deja mucho que desear, este es el juego mas genérico que ha sacado Sony, las cinematicas están bien pero las interacciones con los personajes se ven muy acartonadas. lo unico bueno que tiene el juego son los gráficos

    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.
