    Horizon: Zero Dawn is a prime example how an open world game should play like. I spend way more time exploring than pushing the main story quests, and I ended the game with full gear obtainable with platinum trophy.

    We all know the open world action game genre is oversaturated, but this game pulls it.
    The action is fun, the story is great. Everything is great, apart from facial details and facial animations.

    Это лучшая игра с открытм миром в которую я играл. Шикарная графика, интересная история, необычный сетинг и лор. Боевка превосходная. Игра не отпускает даже после 100 часов игры.

    Its an amazing open world game. The graphics are still top notch and the soundtrack is really good. The quests feel like they tell a story and not like its a boring task to do.
    You can upgrade your gear and weapons, can go hunting and the story is one of the best in its generation.
    i really enjoyed it.

    Мнение об игре очень смешанное, изначально я завысил себе ожидание, думал какая классная игра, наверное и сюжет интересный - нет и ещё раз нет, обычный проходняк и вот почему:
    Сюжет - очень скучный, он банальный и вы его понимаете буквально за первые 3-4 миссии.
    Простейшие бои, да кто-то может сказать: "В игру надо играть на самом высоком уровне сложности, тогда она открывается по    Мнение об игре очень смешанное, изначально я завысил себе ожидание, думал какая классная игра, наверное и сюжет интересный - нет и ещё раз нет, обычный проходняк и вот почему:

    Простейшие бои, да кто-то может сказать: "В игру надо играть на самом высоком уровне сложности, тогда она открывается по полной"- но нет, я так не считаю, разработчики должны показывать всё на среднем, поскольку он является сбалансированным.
    Также слышал, что надо ещё и проходить доп миссии, чтобы прочувствовать игру полностью, но это бред.
    Нельзя и не отметить плюсы:
    Шикарный геймплей, интересно собирать что-то, передвигаться на роботах, а также исследовать мир.
    Графон очень красивый, прям шикарный.
    Итог: Интересная задумка, но над сюжетом надо было поработать получше, я понимаю что мб сложно что-то выжить из этого, но он слишком простой. Метался между оценкой 5 или 6 из 10, но поставлю 6.    … Expand

    Espectacular mundo abierto, pero historia un poco aburrida y pantallas de carga demasiado largas, te quitan la inmersión. También tiene sus bugs y problemas de IA como cualquier mundo abierto.

    At first it felt like a concept that was majorly focused on early humans and crazy machines and it was thought to be a selling point for most people. But it has more than that, the story presents a well explained and intrigued background to origins of the machines. The main character is mixed in all of this and plays a major role in its story, it sounds cliche but it's okay for me becauseAt first it felt like a concept that was majorly focused on early humans and crazy machines and it was thought to be a selling point for most people. But it has more than that, the story presents a well explained and intrigued background to origins of the machines. The main character is mixed in all of this and plays a major role in its story, it sounds cliche but it's okay for me because the character is caring and well likeable which is enough for today's video-game standards.

    Gameplay is where this game is at. Your level doesn't make a huge impact on combat, what matters is your observation of the machines and finding its weak points by firing various items on it. The many types of machines are vast and are scattered in many locations from snowy regions to Nevada-like deserts. Graphically speaking it was a blast as the map provides many viewpoints to admire the gorgeous nature with wild dino-machines in it.

    One of the best PS4 games is a well deserved title for this game.    … Expand

    Still not a 10 but its close one. I'm not a fan of open world but this one is made great. The environment, setting, and everything visually is breathtaking. Story - spot on. Characters - lovely and amazing. Really great game, could not get my hands of the gamepad.

The open world itself is beautiful, and the enemy machines were creative enough to keep my curiosity in attempting different strategies on them. The final battle was somewhat disappointing, as the game was leading up to an epic battle, only to present an enemy that i had previously already fought. I had issues with Aloy's presentation as a virtually flawless character, despite living her entire life with very limited social interaction. But overall the presentation was excellent, and a great benchmark for games this generation.… Expand

They are just stunning to look at and I often find myself distracted at the beauty of this game. The gameplay is exhilarating, rewarding and just plain amazing. You have multiple options on how to take out your foes, whether it be sneaking up to them, placing traps and luring your prey into them, or just going all out to kill your foes. The story is enticing and had me feeling a wide spectrum of emotions during it, ranging from pure joy, monumental relief and immense sadness. The protagonist (Aloy) really ties well into the story and is just badass. The side quests fit in well into the story and help to build up the story as you go along. Overall, Horizon Zero Dawn is an incredible experience that is incomparable at this point in my opinion to any other game out there, and an experience that I think everybody should enjoy.… Expand

    Horizon Zero Dawn is Guerrilla Games’ best effort, one of the PS4’s greatest games, and the best game ever crafted from the ground up for the platform. It combines a gripping narrative with intense action that blends both fast-paced combat with slower-paced, tense stealth sections perfectly.

    Horizon Zero Dawn thrums with the energy of a creative team finally allowed to explore something new. It builds on elements of open-world and loot-and-craft gameplay that we've seen before, but it does so within a context, a setting and a style that feel fresh. Horizon Zero Dawn discovers a stronger sense of its own personality in one game than Killzone ever managed across half a dozen.Horizon Zero Dawn thrums with the energy of a creative team finally allowed to explore something new.

    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.
