    Story,graphics,gameplay, everything in it's place. I especially like the machines, that somehow put some horror elements in all of this, which i didn't expect, kinda like in MGSV. Decima engine looks great on PS5.

I know it seems like a lot of cons, but these are mainly nitpicks, the game is really fun, and I can spend a lot of time in photo mode because of all the beautiful locations. This was the first game I've ever platinumed, and it did not feel tedious, and boring, it was a lot of fun to do, and I highly recommend this game.… Expand

    The character is interesting and learning about her story and what drives her is well done. However, I find some of the other characters kind of boring and just randomly placed in the world to take up time. This game is by no means a Witcher 3 but damn its good. The world feels so alive with the moving grass, animals, trees, etc. I get completely lost wandering around the world.
    The story is pretty good as well though it would have been nice to have a stronger relationship with other characters. I also really like the minor RPG elements and crafting in the game.
    The soundtrack is great and fits the game really well.

    Overall, I would recommend this game if you are a fan of open world games such as Witcher 3, Far Cry, etc. Gorilla games did a great job making this game and I'm just scratching the surface so far. Also, this game really shows of the power of the PS4. Plenty of content is to be found in this game. Also, how are there so many negative reviews? To rate this game between a 4 through 0 is just arrogant.    … Expand

    I thought the game didn't respect your time, because after that came a segment where you're a little kid and it gives you a stupid tutorial that says stuff like "push forward to walk," but it turns out the game is actually just boring. You run around on a map (no mini-map, hope you like pressing the map button) hiding from monsters, picking plants, 'crafting' arrows and walking from point A to point B.

    Got to hand it to the weird controls where you have to push in the stick to run and hold down a button for like 2 seconds to pick up items. The robot monsters are trying to kill you, but fortunately there is tall grass you can duck behind everywhere, and nobody ever thought to give the robots infrared, radar, or a lawnmower function.

    Whenever you finish a quest, you are rewarded with some spoken dialogue about Agraga and the Boonana people and once again, something being forbidden. And XP! Where would PS4 games be without XP?! Somehow Zelda managed just fine without it.

    The rocks and grass look very realistic. This does not make the game good. TEN OUTTA TEN MY FRIENDS    … Expand

    I believe I had been waiting for a year and a half at the point the game came out, and actually got it a day early. I played A LOT, and then some more. Only every once in a while I didn't fully understand the story, did not do too many sidequests as I was primarely focused on getting the main storyline done.

I played A LOT, and then some more. Only every once in a while I didn't fully understand the story, did not do too many sidequests as I was primarely focused on getting the main storyline done. That said, ever since I played The Witcher 3 I don't want to rate a game unless I've actually finished the damn thing, so here goes in a simple sentence: Horizon Zero Dawn is an epic piece of an adventure, but it's wayyy too early to call it the best game ever (which title goes to TW3).
    Horizon Zero Dawn puts you in the skin of Aloy, an outcast of the Nora tribe, bla bla bla. I'm sure you've heard the primary story. Another outcast, a man named Rost has been raising you as his own. This world is filled with robot-dinosaurs, and some 80 different models of them, not sure how many. It was a pleasant surprise that, playing on 'normal' mode, the vast majority of the bots are still damn tough to take down. Even little 'weaker' machines like watchers can be deadly, but this is easily avoided if one goes through the game in stealth mode. Luring a machine over and giving it a 'silent strike' wipes everything out like that. A cool encouragement to do the stealthy aproach, in which the tall grass helps a lot. In the very first trailers it appealed to me how the grass reacts to the player, amazing. Talking about graphics, sometimes I would take hours with photo mode to create some stunning images. There's only minor issues here, which wouldn't downgrade my verdict so I won't mention them.

    The main quest is very interesting to say the least, though at some times it may be a bit complex. No spoilers mentioned here, some vague humour is mixed in the way people in tribes are organised. The player has to see this for themselves. The story overall had me, from the point that I was actually making some progress advancing from just roaming the country to actually pursuing main goals, mainly interested in how humanity would have ended and the robots taken their place, with only some tribes surviving. Without giving spoilers, the answer was not as 'unexpected' as some people would have me believe. Just a minor problem is how the story is as complex as it is, frequently naming names I hadn't heard before didn't help. 'Go to this place' and only the map would show where that exactly was, or some guy who just at that point became important, though I expect at the next playthrough that'll become more clear. And those are the only cons about the story so far.

    There's a lot to say about the gameplay. I just love the way Aloy dodges stuff, just the movement in general. I like how, when you crouch and jump, you land still crouched. It doesn't change the stealthy movement at all.
    The hitbox and climbing system though, they work extremely well. That's a good thing, but it just goes to show that the results are annoying, but in the same way you feel good about being hurt watching Game of Thrones. Aloy rarely walks automatically onto a balancing rope and frequently misses a parkour-jump, which makes it all the more realistic. Foxes won't get shot as easily when you use precision arrows, with these hitboxes you'll sooner just pluck a few hairs from its skin.
    That's why I firmly believe it is my own fault when I try to shoot something but the arrow doesn't launch, it must've been me unknowingly canceling the arrow.

    I find there is much too few space for, about anything with the phase you pick stuff up.

    The graphics are absolutely stunning. Even better than TW3. I'll just say that. Any photo you'll make just looks so professional, which accounts for my sudden rise of followers on imgur. The fact that photo mode makes you control time just blew my mind. So that's good.

    I had 1 rage quit; for some reason the enemy's arrows were OP AF, resulting in 4x unknowing deaths.

    So much to say about this game and I have only 5000 characters.

    Why no perfect score (as The Witcher 3 got from me)? At a later point in the game, some big battle, a stormbird froze mid air and therefore I could take it down (so due to a glitch), AI sometimes is pretty dumb. I can only remember some characters, but I have no special emotional bond with any of them. This game only rarely is a glitch fest, but when it hits, it's good.
    Why as high as an 8? Because the story is good enough to make me want to know everyting, something The Last of uus didn't do. Graphics is a +. Unpredictability for most of the story, almost perfect gameplay and some awesome details. Realistic humour (which would be spoilers). Very quick crafting system, but an overall epic idea to make is battle robo dinos (for some reason I can't type the word USS).

    Though it did not make me feel as emotionally good as TW3 did, the fact that I spent 53 euro on this game makes me feel I robbed the studio. We'll see about a second game, but I'll definately have that second playthrough.    … Expand

    I enjoyed this game more than any game I've played for ages. I was engaged right from the get go, although for about the first half I wasn't totally convinced by Aloy as a character.

She's very appealing on many levels at the beginning but didn't develop further depths as I'd hoped and started to feel pretty bland further in and I have to say, I think she could have been improved on as the dialogue doesn't do her justice and the voice acting is very dead pan.

    Back to the positives though - the combat mechanics are outstanding - the bow and arrow, once beefed up a bit, felt like a sniper rifle in its power and accuracy, and the wide range of weapons available are fun and rewarding to use. It takes a while to get to know their strengths and ideal applications and once you do you can swap around as occasion demands and really kick some metal creature butt....when you're not getting your own kicked, which happened a fair bit in my case! I found the combat challenging....in an exciting, pulse pounding way often...and definitely had to strategise and plan my attack. There were times when that freshness gave way to grind when the game upped the difficulty by throwing more of a particular machine at you at once, but I never got bored. Occasionally very frustrated - the Hunter Trials, for example, are a good idea but the ridiculously short time allowed just makes them a frustrationfest.

    The climbing mechanics are the best; even better, dare I say it, than Uncharted 4. Of course the scenery is utterly lush, I don't even need to say that. There were times that I just stopped and looked at the view for a while in awe.

    The crafting system is well set out and enjoyable. I wasn't thrilled with going out around slaughtering endless numbers of cute animals to find a few of the rarer parts I needed to upgrade my gear but needs must! I thought it was a shame that I achieved the best of the gear relatively early in the game which didn't leave a lot to work for in the later game stages, other than the legendary Super Duper Armour which is ridiculously OP but looks cool. Unlike, I have to say, many of her higher level outfits - who on earth thought those head hat/crowns/whatevers were a good idea??! A girl needs to look her best...

    If there was any lack, I would say it was the lack of real personality or depth, to some extent in Aloy and even more so in NCPs, and it would have been great if settlements were more than just somewhere to stop and pick up supplies. There was token 'relationships' but way too superficial which meant that there was little deep engagement with the main character or the human world in this game. They were all patently forgettable. More attention to that one thing would have elevated this game, for me, to greatness. As it was, the game was fun but forgettable. By about half way through I was feeling a bit 'is this it?' and would have given it an 7 but closer to the end the story kicked up a gear for me and I was utterly engrossed and moved, which pushed it up to an 8. Definitely a fun ride and one not to missed.    … Expand

On top of that, its visuals will make you wonder if Santa secretly sneaked into your room to replace your PS4 with a gaming PC while you were asleep. It simply looks that good. Horizon Zero Dawn is not only one of the best-looking games of this generation, but a must own for every PlayStation 4 owner. And anyone who is willing to buy a PlayStation 4 just for this game. You will not regret it, I can guarantee you that.

    In addition to Pros and Cons; First of all, i'll explain cons a little so I don't leave you confused. Story sure is compelling, it was just me who found it a bit familiar but that was only in the starting quests I believe. The further I got into the story, the more I started to like it.
    About the resources, it doesn't bother in some of the stuff we have to craft but it does when we need to craft Fast Travel Bag otherwise we cannot use fast travel. And we need a few resources to craft our ammo so if you run out of resources between a fight and you cannot craft anymore arrows or other ammos, you're dead meat. Other than this, it's all good. Not annoying at all.

    About Pros- Other than those three, Outfits and Weapons are really good. Especially the weapons. You get to have so many options and it all depends on your gameplay, how you want to set up your own weapons for battles. You can choose four weapons and those four are enough.

    Last but not least, I will recommend everyone to complete all the errands and side quests before finishing the story. Also upgrading everything to the max so you don't need to run out of ammos, resources and potions quickly.
    You will need to explore the whole map for that matter but it's worth everything. Good luck!

    Pros:-
    1) Hunting Grounds is a great addition to test your skills and improve.
    2) AI is really good, either NPCs or the machines. Each one of them.
    3) Outstanding environment and gameplay! 10/10

    Cons:-
    1) Compelling story but a bit familiar one. 8/10 from me.
    2) Collecting resources for crafting.    … Expand

    Horizon: Zero Dawn is something special. It's beautiful, grandiose and emotionally gripping, but in my opinion, not actually a very good videogame. I will elaborate.

    A tale of the far future different from most, with strong and continuing moral and environmental lessons to teach, Horizon is the story of Aloy, a willful redhead with piercing eyes and a magnetic personality. Outcast from    Horizon: Zero Dawn is something special. It's beautiful, grandiose and emotionally gripping, but in my opinion, not actually a very good videogame. I will elaborate.

    A tale of the far future different from most, with strong and continuing moral and environmental lessons to teach, Horizon is the story of Aloy, a willful redhead with piercing eyes and a magnetic personality. Outcast from her tribe since birth, she has had to prove herself to everyone around her for entire life, testing herself not only against the traditions of her tribe, but a dangerous wilderness filled with hostile, animalistic robots. And, controls permitting, she does, and then some. It's just that game fights you for her success at almost every turn.

    Before I talk about Horizon's true strength, I need to talk about its weaknesses. Where Horizon stumbles is always in its mechanics, and, admittedly, in its odd facial animations. Some of these are small annoyances: the limited inventory space compared to the sheer volume of pickups, or the drop rates on certain resources. Or the fact that it relies on a crafting system at all, as it is about as much a survival game as Mad Max is: which is to say, not really. Some of the problems are a bit bigger, such as the circle button being used for both backing out of menus and dodge-rolling: perhaps off the nearest steep precipice, something that happened to me at least four separate times and killed me each time. Or the oddly temperamental target tracking on melee attacks. Or the incredibly janky and nigh-useless mount controls making so that you are better off navigating on foot.

    Setting aside my personal dislike for archery as a game mechanic, there is a fundamental disconnect between what the player is capable of versus what the enemies do. You will constantly get hit by enemies, as the dodge and sprint are insufficient to evade them. Enemies will also frequently interupt your arrow draws, knocking you all over the place and keeping you always on the retreat. You are given a variety of weapons other then a simple bow, including such technological marvels as a slingshot, as well as some actually interesting devices such as a burst-fire auto-crossbow and tripwire launcher. Each of these has specialist ammo types, some of which seem to encourage direct combat, but for at least the first half of this dense title you are seemingly discouraged from direct combat with the enemies for the simple fact that they will beat you in to the ground, over and over, with no mercy invulnerability, forcing you to mainline healing items just to stay in the fight, with the occasional exception of the lackluster human enemies that can be dealt with just by arrowing them in the head for the most part. The intent seems to have been to use ambush tactics and fight creatively, but the longer I played, the more I wished I just had some kind of gun so i could tear through the enemies and get back to the interesting part of the game: the story. I can say this because there are rare occasions that they DO give you a gun, allowing you a few precious seconds of glorious automatic fire or explosions before the weapon inevitably exhausts its magazine, forcing you to revert to plinking killer robots with goddamn twigs.

    It became so tedious that I even lowered the difficulty from normal. I'm not one for playing on "screw you" difficulties, but a game should not be so frustrating on normal. Even when they give you some flashy elemental launchers with good damage and status in the Frozen Wilds expansion, they saddle them with astronomical resource costs compared to the vanilla weapons. I nearly exhausted my supply of chillwater, a resource used for ice-based ammunition, built up over the course of the entire playthrough, just dealing with the especially superfluous "Kill all the Fireclaws" quest tacked on to the end of Frozen Wilds' main questline.

    Overall, the longer i played, the more I wished that Guerilla had taken lessons from their own past, and had combat similar to say, Killzone 2. Nonetheless, I soldiered on through the bulk of its content, largely because of its aesthetic quality.

    Horizon is a very pretty game, make no mistake. The landscapes and character designs are some of the best I've seen in any game, in fact. But where Horizon truly shines is its story: it has a quality of voice work, storytelling, atmosphere and world-building that combined creates a narrative and setting strong enough to carry the lackluster gameplay through to an emotionally charged conclusion that quite literally left me in tears. If Horizon were a film, it would have been a damn good one.

    I can't give Horizon a green rating, but it is worthy of note regardless. I recommend checking out a "let's play" of it at least.    … Expand

    Machine combat, which is most of the enemies, is excellent. It always feels fair and makes you think tactically, and choose the right approach for each enemy. The machines are really quite impressive, each quite different, with good artificial intelligence. Some are dinosaur themed (Thunderjaws, Watchers) but most aren't- there are a lot of misleading comments about this. They are mainly intended to replicate modern fauna- deer, cattle, wolves, lions, crocodiles, tigers, crabs, buffalos and others.

    The core story is very strong, and the overarching background is actually quite fascinating. Learning the truth of the machines is a gripping journey.

    There is plenty to do, and its fun to just get into fights to see if you can make it out alive.

    The environment, with its stunning views, weather and water effects, wildlife, swaying grass and ambient sounds is second to none. And there are plenty of collectibles and tasks to get you to explore it all.

    Downsides?
    A few, but not enough to spoil it.
    Fighting the human enemies is fairly unsatisfying. Most can be easily beaten by picking them off by stealth or simply culling them one by one with a spear.

    The side stories are mainly pretty dull, consisting of rescuing hapless villagers from machines/bandits, solving crimes by following easily signposted footprints or blood trails, or acting as a glorified courier. There are a couple of exceptions.

    Aloy's sarcasm gets a bit wearing at times, and is a bit out of place for most of the game; until she becomes a genuine badass. Story dialogue overall is a bit weird too, a big step down from recent Rockstar games for example. It has a tendency to go on a bit too long at times. Less is often more, developers!    … Expand

    Aloy's story and journey throughout this large, luscious map is compelling, and as you come to further understand the nature of the machines that litter the game world, you'll find yourself increasingly invested in her character.

    Enemy types are varied and combat is dynamic. The fluid weapon wheel that can be popped open seamlessly in volatile situations allows the player to approach scenarios in a variety of organic, creative ways. With options such as traps, alternative bow types and tripping mechanics, you're free to tackle machines in a way that suits your play style.

    But while the game flies in its core gameplay, its approach to some areas can be frustrating. The combat suffers in smaller, tighter rooms and corridors (especially in cauldrons). There are no real animations in place to allow Aloy to traverse rocky or angular terrain without it feeling flimsy and clumsy. It can be difficult to know where the game wants you to climb, and where you can or cannot make a certain jump.

    Additionally, camps look amazing and are full of life, but they feel limited in their interactions. Events happen around you, like an interactive cinema screening, and at no point did I really feel like I was immersed within the cities or its characters. There's loot to pick up and NPCs to engage with but buildings are seldom accessible and when they are, they're mostly just for quest purposes with little depth to really get stuck into.

    I get that this is an action game above all else and there's no doubt Horizon succeeds in this area. Its story is strong and its presentation almost flawless. Occasional camera issues, repetitive mission design and moments of rough movement hold it back from being truly phenomenal, but this is still a must have title for PS4.    … Expand

    Horizon: Zero Dawn is not without a couple flaws. The animation can sometimes be a little distracting.

    The gameplay on this is really fun, shooting machines with bow and arrow is really fun. But that's the best thing about this game. The facial motion and the costume design is a little bit silly in my opinion. The Story itself have ups and downs.

Guerrilla did great on hiding this using wind on game that affect the enviroment giving u the sensation of physics. It just cant get through my hard-to-deceive eyes.

Another problem with horizon zero dawn are the slings (in the early game) The slings early game felt useless and not helpful getting near the ending of the game I did find a use for them but that was because I had the best sling you could get in the game.

My only problem with it is the rather simple conflict that pushes the story forward. Everything concerning the now living humans is kind of boring and rather predictable. It's just black and white, no grey scales. The backstory and the parts of it that find its way into the main story however, with all the details about what happened to us – the modern humans, is fantastic. I loved scanning every hologram, data point and voicemail to gather as much info as possible on what really happened. I really hope future expansions and sequels will focus a lot on the archeology of humanity while having a bit more thought through and deep story.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here is my review of Horizon: Zero Dawn (Spoilers):
    Story: Story is amazing, having taking place from the future but to have all humanity's culture be like the primitive days of just using bows and staff shows that not everything is dependent on technology, except for the machines of course. The ending give a big "Sequel" that Sylen revived hades and captured him just to get more knowledge from the past. Showing the relation of the past of what happened before the present was really interested and astonishing. Especially the relationship between Elisabet and Alloy. What got me disappointed was the two people Alloy met during her "Proving" forgot their name since you only know them for 5 minutes and they are also dead but the names I'll give them are "The Bully" and "The First Friend", just wished they could've lived longer to have a big relationship with Alloy.
    Gameplay: Very entertaining but a little disappointed because when it comes to fast travel the player would have to buy them at at workshop but the ingredients for them (Yes they are ingredients for making fast travel) are not that difficult to find, I thought fast travel would occur during the middle or mid-end of the story arc. Using the Focus is really cool when hearing audio recording and tracking enemy patterns is good way of the getting the upper hand of the game. But the final boss was awful as its just all machines are just going after you, nothing different, nothing more.
    Characters: Alloy is awesome, she's smart, badass and very dependent when taking responsibility. Including her mother Elisabet who sacrifice herself to save the world that was about to be extinct. Seeing their relationship made me felt accomplish for beating the game, also for Rolan it made my hart sank a little seeing him sacrifice himself to save Alloy. All other characters are amazing too, even though they act ignorant but that was part of their culture.
    Machines: They are some fascinating creatures when traveling the open world, and for the team has put so much effort into making each machine deserve to be best gaming design for Characters. Even fighting them was the most accomplishing thing I did when playing this game. Just wish you ride mostly all of the Machines that you override especially the GlintHawks, flying on those would be greatest game/adventure ever!
    Conclusion:
    Story is amazing, Final boss is a disappointment Characters are well created and the machines designs are spot on! This game give a good definition of open world, I can see why fast travel is required for purchase if you don't want to see how amazing the world is, especially the machines and their habitat.
    Final Verdict:
    8.5/10 - If it wasn't for the final boss I would've give it a 9 instead. But still all out amazing!
    Buy or not Buy - Definitely Buy!
    Rent - No. Too good to be rented.    … Expand

Aloy, the main female protagonist, is very likable and bears the whole story on her own, while other side characters like Silence is not interesting and fails to develop its character in any way. The story itself is on point and very different, but the way it chose to tell you of its past was too distant - which does make sense in the stories context. While game-play is one of the strengths of Horizon, it just copies too many elements from other titles and misses out on extending them in innovative ways. Especially the climbing sequences are very linear, while dungeons look all the same and bore you sometimes. Another strength of the game are its graphics, but the lightning effects (especially during night) are terrible sometimes. I do not know what happened there, maybe it is just my Playstation, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt for not having the resources or professional expertise.

    Overall, the premise of the game as well as the game-play are on point, but the game just misses out on delivering a new experience. It really feels like you already played this game a hundred times. The sequel will show the true potential which lies within this series game-play and lore. (8/10)    … Expand

Thankfully Aloy the playable character and Rost the father type figure character were actually likeable and really inspiring characters.

    Ok with the critique of the story and characters out of the way. As regards to gameplay the climbing sections were arcade basic. While combat with the humans was kind of underwhelming.

    The rest of the game was from my point of view phenomenal. The environments looked really beautiful and told a story of not just the present, but the past. A large game world to traverse and at some point mounts are available, but I hardly used them. The combat was a lot of fun to engage in and looked visually amazing. Progression based leveling/weapons/gear led to using stealth and traps early game. Mid to late game going fun gung ho against gigantic mechanical enemies oh what a gaming high. This has a big map and this is a long game if you do all the activities.

    I have to say for all it’s flaws with the character writing and some underwhelming gameplay choices I think this is my fav game of this console generation. On a third replay and the first new game+. The gameplay loop keeps pulling me back in for sure. Even when the story and characters are just old hat now.    … Expand

    9.3/10, it gets off to a slow start but it really picks up. Getting from point A to point B doesn't even feel like a chore. However the characters for the most part are generic and/or lifeless.

But the game also does some things badly. You can't switch camera view, even while aiming you can't switch shoulders and things keep blocking your view. Traversing and climbing is heavily animated and clunky to control. Characters' hair do not collide with their bodies and keep going through their models even in cinematics. Lip sync and facial animations are awful.
    Horizon Zero Dawn is very interesting concept that puts primal and future worlds in one. This may be an original idea, nevertheless, strange things like all-anglophonic population, multiracial tribes, a full scale of bioms and a handful of tribes in such a little basin-like map.
    The story feels like it was built halfway, then scrapped due time and capability shortages and later built anew on the debris of the original story. The main storyline is very short (10 hours), it's made up with amazing side quests, however the main problem is the absolute lack of interesting characters. Most of them are instantly killed off or very poorly developed having a 10 minutes of screentime at best.
    Lastly, I've noticed the game constantly mocks religion. A mortal is capable to rebuild life on the planet with a program made up in 6 months or so, Aloy has a contempt for every religious person and makes toxic remarks everytime she gets a chance. I couldn't care less for Aloy and I was happy for every time Sylens rekt her. Interesting how Aloy is so independent, needs no help but when she loses her focus device she also loses her **** and goes from stronk to panik.    … Expand

    The story is one of the most (if not the most) original and well told of any game I played. A truly exciting game, it can be a little overwhelming at first, but it all plays out incredibly. Graphics are amazing even 3 years later (except for the faces during dialogue). Combat is amazing and you can approach it in different ways, so it doesn't get boring. Easily my favourite game of the generation.

    1. The story is exceptional. It's told in a very simple way. Somehow, it still made me invested. There's a lot of detail in the story but it's easy to understand. It's not told in a way like Fallout, The Witcher 3 etc. Does that make it better than those games? Maybe, for some.

    2. Side quest are not just fetch quests. They have a decent story behind them. There's dialog and the characters are interesting enough. Does it go in depth like The Witcher 3? No. However, it's better than almost every other open-world games out there.

    3. Gameplay animations are exceptional for an open world games. At times it feels like you're playing Tomb Raider or Uncharted. Before Horizon Zero Dawn, I don't think any other game had this smooth movement and enemy animation in open world games except Assasin's Creed.

    4. Same can be said about the graphics. No open world looks like this. It's an Action Adventure game level gameplay and graphics in an open world game.

    5. Climbing towers to open map is actually fun. There are not 50-100 of them.

    The best part is how it all comes together. It did everything an open world game does and made it amazing.

    Finding the story behind it all was amazing. Wherever my camera went, I wanted to explore. The World is exceptionally built.

    The world Guerilla has built is easy to understand. Gameplay has clear concise instructions and it's strong. The story is straightforward but engaging. The graphics are just incredible. Gameplay animations are amazing. NPCs are actually good. I don't remember if anyone was annoying in this game.    … Expand

The graphics are fantastic - character models and the world look amazing - this forced my hand to play with the photo mode from time to time. The only negative I found was a little bloating of the story toward the end. Outside of that - this game is an awesome experience and worth a play through for anyone that owns a PS4… Expand

    Graficamente muy bueno, tiene hermosos paisajes, y muy buen trabajo por parte de Guerrilla al hacer algo tan espectacular para la PS4.
    Una banda sonora muy buena, es algo que sobresale su apartado sonoro, muy buen soundtrack.
    El gameplay es muy bueno, muy dedicado, el uso de arco es espectacular, pero el combate cuerpo a cuerpo es muy simple, de hecho no hay combos, es un solo combo, pero creo que es un juego para pasarselo con el arco de inicio a fin, el crafteo de las cosas esta muy desbalanceado, en mi opinion.
    No innova en ningun aspecto hablando de su gameplay, ya que son mecanicas que ya hemos visto en videojuegos anteriores, no innova pero las mecanicas que emplea son muy buenas, muy bien aplicadas.
    Hay un detalle que me gustaria resaltar, y esque en una mision secundaria rescatas a un personaje de morir por suicidio con veneno y es tan espectacular el detalle y es que si merodeas por el jardin en donde se desarrolla la escena, puedes ver el frasco con el veneno, y Alloy (El personaje que tu manejas) hace un comentario en referencia a eso, y bota el veneno y frasco, diciendo que es mejor hacerlo antes que cometa una locura. Ese detalle es espectacular, increible porque lo han trabajado a conciencia.
    Durante el juego te encuentras muchos bugs, y no es justificable pero se trata de un mundo abierto, en mi partida no he encontrado muchos.
    Hay coleccionables, son muy faciles de obtener, he jugado al rededor de 55 horas, y me faltan 2 trofeos para el platino, he completado un 99.99% del juego, ya que me faltan desafios pero de la historia y misiones secundarias lo he completado, muy corto.
    La dificultad es adecuada, nada dificil, hay muchas maquinas, pero mi nota no es mas que un 8.5 ya que la historia es muy predecible, el jefe final es muy decepcionante, me esperaba algo mas espectacular, me esperaba ver muchas mas maquinas, ya que existen variaciones de las mismas maquinas, pero esas variaciones mm para mi no son suficiente.

I say this game is a great start for Guerilla but they need to step their game up for Horizon 2. My personal request is the hacking mechanic modified similar to Nier Automata (Having the ability to remote control machines), and a companion for Aloy so she could stop taking to herself.

    Considering time and console this game was released on together with the level of detail, atmosphere, story density and amount of time you can spend this game is one of the few that might deserve a 10/10 although to be totally fair it has its own scratches. I would give it a 9.5 as always going up and down with my gut feeling. Horizon takes the 10 and very much deserves it.

    I ve been    Considering time and console this game was released on together with the level of detail, atmosphere, story density and amount of time you can spend this game is one of the few that might deserve a 10/10 although to be totally fair it has its own scratches. I would give it a 9.5 as always going up and down with my gut feeling. Horizon takes the 10 and very much deserves it.

    I ve been playing on a PS4 Pro with SSD and I m impressed with the stability of this title. I had no frame downs, no bugs, no blue screens. The loading times and fast traveling times are good in the seconds, even the jet inside my PS4 was still somewhat acceptable. Considering that Horizon might have the best graphics (or at least top5) on this console generation this is really impressive. The charactes are beautifully designed and have individual marks. The world and atmosphere has a wide variety of schemes and provide a successful mix of fantasy with sci-fi elements.

    The sound design is well made although it could have been perfected on the surround end. In comparison to other games this is not really mentionable just providing space for the last bit of perfection this game could use.

    The weapons are a little let down for me personally. I do like bows but the variety of the provided weapons are kind of mediocre considering what feels viable and what not. Also it would ve been nice to have more melee variety because melee actually is not that bad in this game. There is just not much variety to the weapons you can use. Same goes to the amount of different armor types you can buy. In my 100% playthrough I used 2 armor types, got the special one at the end and that was about it. Probably on the highest difficulty this might be more necessary it is still a bit sad that on the intended normal difficulty it does not make any difference how you equip.

    Gameplay loops are standard open world styled. You can gather multiple types of collectibles, do timed hunter challenges, get main and sidequests while you progress by foot or mount through the immensely vast world. At the beginning fast travel is limited to consumables which is a kinda strange decision but it helps to keep immersion and get in touch with the world. The unlimited travel can be unlocked in the first part of the game so it is not much of a problem for people who dislike this decision.

    The skill trees are nice and it feels that you can emphasize on your personal play-style. Some skills are rather useless throughout the whole game whereas some should be skilled asap for maximum benefit. There is still not much you can do wrong. I missed that my focus ability was not able to get an upgrade for enhanced vision, wider range and highlighting stuff better. In my opinion something that would be immensely useful because finding collectibles can sometimes be very painful. Climbing indicators are sometimes vague and if you happen to go on collectible hunting at nighttime you might be up for some rage.

    All this still makes HZD one of the best games I have ever played. The amount of depth and details is immersive. The story is very cool and innovative. The world has a decent variety and you will be definitely busy for at least 20 to 40hrs+ depending on whether you go straight, do side-quests or completionist. Please be aware of that this review does not include the addon but solely the maingame.

    Considering you can grab this game including the addon for 20 bucks is honestly a steal and does underline my decision to give it a 10 besides some minor design flaws and subjective aspects I pointed out. People who like action adventure typed games which have a classic open world touch will definitely be pleased.    … Expand

    The story unfolds at a perfect rate not to overwhelm the player with lore but extremely lore-rich at the same time.

    The sound, wow. Im spanish and although mine is the second most spoken language in the planet after chinese we are not used to get good dub or even dub at all, in this matter the game is another 10, the best dub actors have been brought to this game to give it a cinematic flavor that maybe only control has managed to achieve too, in this case we have Michelle Jenner as Aloy and her acting is top notch!

    Graphically speaking is beyond a 10, i dont know if it is the shaders, the textures or even the lighting but , you guys know that feeling when you apply a Shader mod to skyrim and certain views look like a photograph? Well, thats is STAPLE on the whole game, everywhere at any time of the day to a point where most than 8% of my 68h in the game so far is exclusively on photo mode, just breathtaking.

    Lastly as im speaking about the pc version i must acknowledge the optimisation, i have read lots of blogs about how badly it runs or looks on pc and I couldn’t disagree more.... i have A LAPTOP, an msi gs65 (i7 8750H - Gtx 1070 max-q) and i play with everything on high, textures on ultra and models detail in medium and i get 55-60 fps ALWAYS anywhere in the game (before the patch) all that plus the fact that ANY of my components surpasses 65ºc for me means ROCK SOLID optimisation

    Ps: the only issues i had in terms of bugs and-or crashes was when i tried to OVERCLOCK my components (seeing them so cold I thought, well.....) but once Oc was deactivated every bug and crash disappeared like magic so I encourage those readers dissagreeing with my experience on optimisation to disable overclock and check themselves.

    I ended up loving this game, a lot!
    Not enough to get a ps5 to play the sequel but enough to borrow my brother’s to play it.
    It doesn’t matter if youre a sonyer, nintendo fan, xfan, master race... whatever, if you do love gaming this is PURE JOY and though this might perfectly be a marketing stan to make people get the ps5 for the sequel we cant ignore the generosity on Sony Studios part for bringing this game to us...

    At the end this game makes me think differently about everything SPECIALLY exclusives;
    After enjoying this game THAT MUCH, who am i to feel great about certain people not being able to enjoy breath of the wild 2?
    I hope companies realise what i did, being a fangamer in general is happier and less toxic than being a fanboy and fanboys are born with exclusives.    … Expand

I didn't find the game too repetitive like other people. The reason why it is not repetitive is because there are plenty of ways you can approach a combat (there are so many weapons, strategies and categories of machines). In fact, I think the player will establish if the gaming experience will be repetitive or not. I even found that getting the collectibles (metal flowers, banuk artefacts, etc...) was fun as it allowed me to explore more the Horizon world. However, the game is not perfect as the story was not so engaging and maybe, they should give more information regarding the different weapons we can use (the tutorials don't really show you how to play).

    La historia empieza muy interesante, progresa de muy buena manera gracias a la personalidad de los personajes que hay en el juego, que, a pesar de no ser muchos, cumplen su rol y no se sienten fuera de lugar ni forzados como en algunos otros juegos, todo esta en su lugar y sin excesos cansinos. Ya cuando pasan varias horas de juego, con preguntas sobre la historia y la trama empezo mi miedo (sera que van a ca&%3rla con algun cliche?), pero para mi sorpresa todo estaba muy bien justificado y explicado, sencillamente me encanto.

    Sistema de juego es muy completo, pero por lo poco que he experimentado, este sistema es muy similar a los demas Open World de la actual generacion de consolas.

    El apartado grafico es impresionante, a la altura de las capacidades del sistema y la generacion.

    Quizas el unico punto negativo sea el del sistema de armas y equipo, que esta un poco flojo pero sin llegar a ser algo grave.    … Expand

    Beautiful, very beautiful. Unfortunately that's about it. The combat is clunky and bland. Dodge roll, swing or shoot. The climbing is PS2 level bad. The story is convoluted and told through text. The side quests are ripped straight from the Witcher (go here, investigate, fight). I cannot understand how this game is so overrated beyond the fact its bright and shiny. It's about as deep as a puddle.

    Perfect game for me, the story is FANTASTIC, the characters are awesome and the COMBAT, goddamn the combat, fighting the robots is incredible. The AI is very good and the graphics are PHENOMENAL. PS: Aloy is an amazing protagonist, she is strong, decided and beautiful.

    One of the best games in the ps4 catalog. I was quite surprised with the game as I was pretty sceptic before playing it and I didn't expect a masterpiece.

    Pros: Graphics Combat System Difficulty (I played in hard) Exploration The atmosphere and the world are amazing Cons: Crafting could be more refined The story has a very good start, then it gets too predictable and generic,    One of the best games in the ps4 catalog.

    That was great expedition, but included many hours of skipped cutscenes... Story isn't entertaining at all, and I didn't care about how it will end. Such beautifull world, awesome graphics (including animations of climbing, jumping) and cool gameplay should be matched with better script. Above all, must have and almost-auto-platinum title.

    I put off playing this for a long time since I have a hard time getting into open world games, but Horizon is a gem. The story is the only thing that prevents a perfect score, its interesting but isnt what keeps me coming back to the game, The controls are perfect and the enemies unique and each are different and must be approached in their own way.

    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.
