    Simplesmente lindoooooo, um jogo que é muito vivo em seu mundo e realmente te deixa imersivo o bastante.

    Un juego destacable, con mecánicas interesantes y una inteligencia artificial de cuidado.

    Una maravilla en todos los sentidos, protagonista carismática fuerte y se deja querer!!! Historia muy bien contada, siempre te deja con ganas de querer saber más de este maravilloso mundo. Sistema de combate ágil, fluido y muy fácil.

    One of the best games I have ever played so far. This game has a really interesting story with an amazing combat system. I spent plenty of hours just with exploring and fighting the machines because it's really fun. To play Horizon Zero Dawn is really a pleasure.

    Плюсы:
    + графика и мелкие детали (очень детально сделаны все машины и окружающий мир, хочется останавливаться на каждом углу и любоваться, благо тут есть фоторежим с множеством настроек)
    + сюжет и история мира (очень интересно читать все записки и голограммы, основной сюжет крайне увлекательный и слегка запутанный) + обширный открытый мир (пустыни, леса, снежные горы, степи - всё в    Плюсы:

    + сюжет и история мира (очень интересно читать все записки и голограммы, основной сюжет крайне увлекательный и слегка запутанный)
    + обширный открытый мир (пустыни, леса, снежные горы, степи - всё в наличии)
    + приятная главная героиня (Элой достаточно красива, имеет особый характер)
    + множество навыков для прокачки (можно качать как скрытность так и ближний бой, собирательство и верховую езду)
    + отличное DLC ("The Frozen Wilds" добавляет новый снежный регион, со своими племенами, сюжетом и новыми опасными машинами)
    + выбор реакции ГГ (иногда можно выбрать, как Элой отреагирует в диалоге, хотя это и не несёт большой значимости)
    + выбор оружия и ловушек (у каждой машины есть свои слабые и сильные стороны, нужно подбирать эффективное оружие под каждого врага)
    + скрытность (здесь она хорошо реализована: кусты, отвлекающие маневры, бесшумные атаки, сканер Элой)
    + есть чем заняться (побочные квесты, котлы, лагеря разбойников, зараженные зоны и т.д)

    Минусы:
    - не интересные побочные квесты (почти везде нужно что-то принести / отнести / убить кого-то)
    - плохие лицевые анимации и диалоги* (отсутствие эмоций и постоянное кивание головой, иногда хочется их пропускать)
    - слишком резкая смена погоды (солнце-дождь-солнце-туман-солнце, и всё в течении 5 минут)

    *только в оригинальной игре (в DLC они сделаны гораздо лучше и эмоциональнее)

    Может не понравиться:
    = музыка (совсем не запоминается, не передаёт настроения)
    = необходимость сохранятся только в точках сохранения (специальные костры разбросаны по всей карте)

    Итог: игра удивляет основным сюжетом, открытым миром и графикой, но заметна плохая проработка диалогов и побочных квестов.    … Expand

It might be a cliché to see the story about human's technology killing the mother nature, but HZD did it so efficiently with a twist. The music is an eargasm and really adds effects to the game. The only bad thing is that side quests felt so repetitive at times. Still, I did not want to game to end. All in all, it is a solid 9 (9.5 really!).… Expand

    Fantastic game . I think I love everything about it, the story, the tactical approach to battles, the limited but yet important loot. Personally I love these kind of dystopian worlds, post apocalyptic scenarios and for what it has costed me on the PS4 Store...it's a complete bargain. Hope to see more from these developers! Big up guys !

    When I opened the game for the first time, I did not think that it could captivate me so much. The plot made me go through it in one breath in the literal sense. A variety of robots, weapons, a large open world are well made. Lighting is one of the best I've ever seen in games. But I would like to increase the storyline by 2-3 hours. In general, I really liked it.

    Aceptable (7'5/10)
    En general es un buen juego. Me costó meterme en la historia, y es que la historia apenas avanza durante la mayor parte de él. La jugabilidad es bastante buena una vez que dominas las armas y conoces las particulatidades de cada robot. Noto alguna similitud con otro juego de ese año, el zelda breath of the wild, sobre todo en la forma con la que se relaciona el jugador    Aceptable (7'5/10)

    Las peleas con los robots son muy interesantes, no estamos ante el típico juego en el que todos los enemigos son iguales.
    La historia, en mi opinión, no es su punto fuerte a lo largo de todo el juego, puesto que tan sólo empieza a tener relevancia cerca del final (cabe añadir que, es una historia medianamente buena)

    Ok I know I’m in the minority, but this game is simply overrated. You are bombarded with possible outfit, ammo, weapon upgrades but the game never clearly explains them. And then , despite multiple upgrades to multiple systems, you never really have a powerful weapon at your disposal. There are 12 different types of outfits ; yet none of them really protect you.

You are bombarded with possible outfit, ammo, weapon upgrades but the game never clearly explains them. And then , despite multiple upgrades to multiple systems, you never really have a powerful weapon at your disposal. There are 12 different types of outfits ; yet none of them really protect you.
    I found the script really lacking as well. In the middle of a battle, the main character will mumble some inane comment about the snow that she’s made 100 times already.
    Combat is frustrating. Because the bow often inflicts minimal damage, you find yourself slogging through repetitive melee combat that , frankly, becomes boring.
    The music score is poor, with an annoying electronic thrum each and every of the 10,000 times you need to consult the map/crafting screens.
    The storyline is muddled and bogged down.
    This is a classic case of length/ open world not equaling greatness.
    Give me the 4 hour re3 remake, that actually has a flow and the action all makes sense, rather than 50,000 upgrades that in the end, leave you right back where you started because no one weapon can just put a hole into your enemy.
    People put this game in the same class as games like Zelda BOTW or The Last of us. I’m here to tell you that those games tower above HZD in all aspects.    … Expand

I found her while empowering and detailed as a character that she lacked the human factor of emotion in some way. I found Geralt from The Witcher has more emotion compared to Aloy. I will say, it does make for some funny interactions.    … Expand

    Сюжет средненький, но геймплей и сама концепция игры,сеттинг- все отлично.
    Играть в нее следует лишь на последних двух сложностях.
    Каждая модель работа-огромный труд.Каждая уникальна.Сражаться с ними интересно,а главное постоянная прогрессия добавляет интерес к игре. Открытый мир достаточно большой,там есть места,которые заставят удивиться рядового игрока.    Сюжет средненький, но геймплей и сама концепция игры,сеттинг- все отлично.

    Its an open world game that really does everything well and adds fairly interesting setting, but otherwise its a bit bland. Can't go wrong here if you just want to explore beautful places, fight some machines and do a lot of typical open world busywork.

    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.
