    There's a lot to love about this game: a breathtakingly beautiful world, well-executed creative premise, and a thought-provoking setting.

    A good open world with great visuals, story and battle mechanics. Although it goes the Ubisoft way of littering the map with markers and collectibles.

    Still, a great new IP from a studio who does FPS games.

    Único defeito são as expressões faciais, porém deu uma melhorada na DLC, muito bom.

    Пишу сразу после прохождения основного сюжета игры (часов 50, если не ломиться по сюжету). Можно попытаться разобрать игру на "мухи отдельно, котлеты отдельно", но после прохождения совсем не хочется этого делать. В целом игра с хорошей графикой, очень красивым миром, классной и отлично рассказанной историей и отличным саундтреком. Одна из лучших игр, в которые мне приходилось играть.Пишу сразу после прохождения основного сюжета игры (часов 50, если не ломиться по сюжету).

    P.S. Плойку покупал ради RDR2, котом прикупал еще всякий год оф вор, человек-паук и прочие эксклюзивы. Но только после "Horizon Zero Dawn" в голову пришла мысль: да, ради этой игры стоило купить плойку. Имхо...    … Expand

    Bad characters, mediocre plot, bad open world, at best mediocre side quests, grindy economics. People tend to like the game play but its bad. The idea of shooting robots in certain places is fine but the way this idea implemented is just ridiculous. You have to spend a ton of time just to kill even small enemies. The distance between quests is just insane. You have to walk across the mapBad characters, mediocre plot, bad open world, at best mediocre side quests, grindy economics.

You have to spend a ton of time just to kill even small enemies. The distance between quests is just insane. You have to walk across the map 3-4 times throughout main compain. It is not ok. All the cut scenes are: you standing in an empty room and listening some diaries or smth. Honestly i feel like I can write a whole essay on why this game is utter crap.
    If you want a good open world game - better play BotW. If you want good side quests with open world - better play Witcher 3. If you want a good story with open world - better play RDR 2.    … Expand

    One of the games of this generation. Get creative I'm taking down the biggest of enemies. Not too many games that I bother with trophies, but here is a game that I actually made the effort of getting the platinum for.

    Far and away the most creative and in-depth combat system in any open world game I’ve played. Using an arrow to tear off a machine’s weapon just to go pick it up and use it against them never stops being satisfying.

    With entertaining mechanics, memorable designs, a more than exceptional protagonist and an intriguing and deep story and lore, Horizon Zero Dawn might be much more than a worthy Sony's equivalent to TLOZ

The world and lore of this game is as much of a mystery for you the player, as it is for the protagonist Aloy.The emotions she feels as she discovers new secrets were certainly replicated by mine. Horizon features an intricate combat system that allows the player to decide how they play; stealth or active combat. I found myself changing the way I fight depending on the machines and the weapons of choice. I applaud the amount of effort that was put into the datalogs to explain the world for those who wished to have a deeper understanding. Many hours could be spent reading and listening to the datalogs. I enjoyed the side missions and spent most of my time in the game doing them. With Cauldrons, bandit camps, various collectibles, corrupted zones and tallnecks, Horizon did not feel boring even when I wasn't doing the main story. The music of the game was suitable for the kind of world that Horizon takes place in, I was humming to Aloy's theme all day after finishing the game. One the game's biggest strength was it's visuals. Playing it on a PS4 Pro and a 4K TV, I would often stop just to admire how magnificent the game looked and as a result I made the most of the photo mode. Horizon's biggest drawback is it's secondary characters. While Aloy has become one of my favourite female protagonist in videogame history, the same cannot be said for the other characters in the game. They lacked emotions and depth and by the end when some characters were portrayed as important, I was surprised as I felt no connections whatsoever with them. Overall Horizon Zero Dawn is an excellent game and one of the best PlayStation exclusives of this generation and I cannot wait for the sequel.… Expand

    A great game, fresh with new ideas, weapons, and to many to explore, i really recommend this, as a teacher of videogames i understand all the work, as an old gamer was one of the recents games that make an impact on me, the only one thing is that i want special bosses, and put 9 because GOW4 have 10, and aren't at the same level to be fair.

    Muy grata sorpresa no me había fijado en este juego hasta que lo vi en internet me lo compré y pasé y me ha encantado.Una historia que te atrapa un gameplay muy bueno .Lo único malo que le sacaría es el gameplay contra los humanos y debido a que este es bastante parte del juego no le puedo dar un 10 pero sin duda ha sido una experiencia única

    The game looks good, but the facial animations and overall porting to PC are terrible. To allow this in 2020 is a shame and fraud on the part of managers in the face of developers.

    In my opinion, the game did it quickly, not of high quality and cheap - but it was served as something grandiose. In general, deception.

    Я прошёл эту игру на платину, она мне очень понравилась и стала моей любимой игрой на пс4.
    Из минусов игры я вынесу не очень запоминающихся персонажей. Это почти единственный минус этой игры.
    Большое спасибо разработчикам за великолепную Horizon zero dawn, продолжайте эту серию.    Я прошёл эту игру на платину, она мне очень понравилась и стала моей любимой игрой на пс4.

    Not sure why score is so high. Only thing that keeps me playing is to know what happened that world looks like it looks. For every other piece like fighting, sneaking, climbing, open world activities - there are games that do it better.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Один из лучших консольных эксклюзивов: интересный мир, лор, потрясающая картинка. Хромает кукольность и непродуманность персонажей, нет развития и не показана мотивация Элой, также отталкивает показанный в игре матриархат при, по большей части, инертных и бесполезных мужских героях. Сюжет слишком предсказуем и ожидаем, идеи практически не прослеживаются и теряются на фоне нагромождения элементов, пытающихся погрузить игрока в сюжет.… 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.

    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.
