    Horizon Zero Dawn - лучшая игра Guerrilla Games, одна из величайших игр для PS4 и лучшая игра, созданная с нуля для платформы

    Perfect open-world gameplay. Scenario is interesting but not important for me when the game is open-world.

    The game is good, I played again before the release of Horizon Forbidden West. Graphics 10/10, main character 10/10, locations 9/10, story 7/10 in general. Some episodes of the story deserve 10/10.

    Это кульминация всего, чему Guerrilla научился, работая над франшизой Killzone, и они успешно разработали что-то, что раскрывает потенциал, который многие видели еще в 2015 году.

    I began HZD and got about halfway through the main story. I came back a few times and never really got really into it. However, recently, I began again with the goal of finishing it. Since then, I have made my way through the main quest right as it picked up.

    The main story is such a breath of fresh air in terms of new IPs. Well written, the voice acting is good enough and the graphics are stellar. The combat versus the machines always seems fair and I loved setting up an attack with different traps, learning the machines weak points, and breaking off its armor. The human on human combat was not really ever a challenge and they act more as damage sponges.

    I am excited to wrap up the story (probably only a few hours left) and jump into the DLC---which I have heard is as good as the main game. Glad PS has this fantastic series to hang its hat on and add to it's excellent lineup of exclusives.    … Expand

    First game I played on the PS4, came highly recommended. I enjoyed the gameplay, mostly going stealthy and distance based.

I did not guess the entire story before it was revealed, which is always a bonus. Some games go overboard and telegraph the entire plot that is supposed to be a mystery.

    I did not finish the game but I played about 100 hours of it.
    I loved the graphics, the sound design, the voice delivery, the platforming, the story, the enemy design but I did not like at all how fighting enemies is basically jump back and forth back and forth back and forth back and forth back and forth back and forth back and forth back and forth back and forth back and forth . and    I did not finish the game but I played about 100 hours of it.

I still loved absolutely everything else than the combat, really nice moments in the game which I refuse to spoil but I will say this, most of the score is because of the great enviorment, the enviorment tried to transform my mood into another univerce where the stars are made of robots and I need to hide and run while using my bow to hit them back, and the game managed to do that, the game was so emarcive and should get the score it deseves. I only nerfed the score because the terrible combat.    … Expand

    My favourite game since the Final Fantasy classics. Some people have called it repetitive but the game play is so good I loved the different tactics to kill mechs. Cannot wait for part 2

    The world Guerrilla managed to create is incredible.
    The lore and story are excellent
    The gameplay is very very good however there is always room for improvement
    The way they managed to mix the past with the future in this setting is astonishing.

    I wasn't too interested in this game when I first saw the trailers, but I'm so glad I gave it a shot. The graphics are gorgeous, Aloy is such an awesome protagonist. The world is fascinating, and the world building is really well done. I can't wait for the next game to come out!

    Really good game, if you like this type of video game (Witcher 3, assassin's creed, etc) then you will love this game.

    I would rate this as one of my top 5 video games of all time.

    When I came to the store I looked on the shelf and I saw Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition in discount. So I bought it only for 15 dollars.

Yes, the animal robots. Have ever seen anything like this? No? Well that is because you could not. I mean who would ever create a game around world ending animal robots apocalypse game. Well Guerilla Games did and it is incredible. Action in this game is on every corner with every enemy you encounter. The story is one of the most best I have yet encounter and they did not need overaly sexualised character for it. Aloy and her actress do a pretty good job to let me feel every emotion. With God of War best game that made feel good about collecting collectibles. The gameplay for a lot of pc gamers may be hard but for me it is more than enjoyable. There are maybe few flaws like faces of the characters that sometimes feel fake and stealth but I must give this game 10/10… Expand

Happy to admit that some of the storylines left me a little misty-eyed. I appreciated how few bugs I encountered considering how many times I’ve had my experienced really hampered with this in other open-world games and how intuitive it all seemed from the controls right down to the inventory. I enjoyed being able to fight on my own terms and make the game my own. Thought the AI was good, more-so the “animals” that the humans but having so many things interact differently with the environment and each present a different challenge that needed to be adapted to was an aspect I revelled in and left me feeling a happy sense of achievement, as did the whole game once completed. I also appreciated how the devs managed to make this a game that players new to gaming could enjoy whilst still being enjoyable for more experienced gamers, which I feel is rarer than it should be.

    All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game and am happily anticipating the next one.    … Expand

    Everything flows organically, and I absolutely loved Aloy from the moment you see her. She's likable, and relatable, instantly. Learning her backstory, and purpose, is just amazing.

    I have only played a handful of games that have really made my question my life, and to think of the world is in a different light, HZD is one of them. I will always love this game, and always come back to it every chance I get. This is the one game that will always have a place on my console and in my heart.    … 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.
