    Graficamente no es perfecto hay algunos detalles mejorables, pero aun asi en lineas generales es una absoluta barbaridad lo que Guerrilla Games ha logrado aqui.

    La jugabilidad quizas peca un poco de usar una formula de mundo abierto ya muy trillada, pero lo espectacular de su mundo hace que lo pases por alto. Y quieras explorarlo.

    Aloy es una protagonista genial y te identificas con ella en todo momento. El Gameplay, junto a las bestias lo hacen una experiencia unica, la forma como el combate esta tan bien conectado con el entorno y como puedes resolver los combates de manera tan diversas es absolutamente genial.

    No tengo dudas que una segunda parte puede corregir todas las pequenisimas deficiencias del juego para convertirlo en una obra maestra.

    Sin duda si tienes una ps4 este juego merece estar en tu coleccion.    … Expand

    Really overrated. I gave it a fair shot and it started out OK. But after about 20 hours I couldn't go on any further. It just got so boring and the story combined with game design never hooked me. It gets points for having a very interesting concept, compelling world, pretty graphics, appealing aesthetic, cool monster design, but that's about it.

It gets points for having a very interesting concept, compelling world, pretty graphics, appealing aesthetic, cool monster design, but that's about it. Crafting is a chore and feels tacked on. Combat is repetitive, uninspired, dull. Controls are sometimes unresponsive. The game fails to fully immerse you into its world. I feel like the concept of the game was wasted. The voice acting and facial animations are mediocre. The script is amateur and doesn't vibe with the story at all. Side content is so boring and basic. The Frozen Wilds expansion is more of the same, but hey it looks nice. There's a lot of dissonance going on between the story, the dialogue, and the open world gameplay. I'm glad I got this cheap. It's not terrible, just disappointing and leaves a lot to be desired.… Expand

The soundtrack and audio queues help to immerse the player so that they become in the "Zone", while also being helpful for notifying the player when something is about to occur.

    The crafting system, although not original does have its unique twists, rewarding players for collecting groups of collectibles for a hefty prize. At no stage in the story have I felt short of cash (except for maybe the first couple of hours) and progression is rewarded by the player learning how to take down machines instead of the traditional hack'n'slash approach. I would often find myself struggling to take down certain large machines and then, later on, come back and easily handle them, proving to myself that I have become better at the game, rather than allowing certain weapons to over-power the machines instead.

    I have had an absolute blast with this game and only one issue that I'd have with the game is the facial animations being goofy and at times distracting. Other than that, the core gameplay is excellent.    … Expand

The plot of the game is Sci-fi shakespeare, and the creatures in the world are well designed with their separate strengths and weaknesses.

    However, some strong flaws in it as well! In the first act characters are build up. Your father, your kinda BFF friend and the guy that hates you. These were looking to integral to the story during the entire game. Yeah no... they are murdered in one of the lamest ways i've seen ever. And after that your character never really meets another character that has the same emotional relationship as with those from act 1. That was profoundly insulting to watch.

    Also the game has some of the flaws open world games have had for years now. Uninteresting collectibles scattered about, fetch quests that don't go further than some fast travelling, and the annoying moment when a guest giver asks you to go across half the map and then return, rince and repeat. That aint fun. Also towns feel completely lifeless as NPC's have no interaction with you, nor have a dynamic of actions. If they were removed, it wouldn't make any difference tothe experience of walking in a town in this game.

    All together this game is excellent though, it earns a 8/10.    … Expand

    Graphics are stunning and story might be OK, but I couldn't believe the concept and wasn't really interested in what is going on.. played maybe for an hour and got bored away. Not sure how this is entertaining if you played better games before. I am not sure what you have to smoke to enjoy this game. Better to watch National Geographic.

It feels like the game developers made a best off already established games en genres. It could be said that the game plays it safe in that regard. There are no groundbreaking elements. Still it manages to balance each ingredient flawlessly. The story is excellent too, it just has enough spice to not feel cliché and manages a few surprises. All in all really loved this game.… Expand

    This was one of the best experiences I've ever had on videogames. Stunning graphics, beautiful soundtrack, very nice characters and a epic, emotional story. However, no game is perfect, there's some things that could have been better, like the animation of the characters are not excellent and other little issues, but i'd give to this game 9.5

    One thing I did notice which made me not give this game a 10 was the pace; which I think is amazing in the first hours, turns a little bit repetitive around the 30 th, and not because of the grinding, but mostly because in several missions you have to speak with someone just to be redirected to the other side of the map just to keep going.
    Definitely if you are doubtful about getting the game, i will encourage you to get it, is really a must that every PlayStation owner should play.    … Expand

    The game is boring story not interesting missions are repetitive (go here talk to that kill this come back) filled with sjw conversions.
    Good things are beautiful graphics and the combat system, but the problem is there are no real bosses just a bunch of mini bosses, If you enjoy long boring talks collecting rocks and wood large map with nothing to do this is a game for you.

    In a year where Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild enabled its players to scale any facade, it's frustrating that a similarly phenomenal, open world game such as this didn't allow for the same. Nonetheless, it was still an incredible experience. Aloy is such a compelling, fully realized character.

    To me, it's a masterpiece of video games. Alloy is sensational and necessary for this game. The story falls short and the world is not an empty open world, it's a dense world full of life. It's amazing that a playstation 4 can move that game at 30 fps.
    The only disadvantage is that it is exclusive to ps4, hopefully it will be on pc and I can enjoy it at 144 fps.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Un mundo impresionante, protagonista entrañable y una gran historia este juego podría ser de lo mejor que Sony haya creado desde la PS1 cuando lo empiezas quieres saber más y más, y quieres jugar mas y más, quieres derrotar a todas las maquinas diferentes que vez o bien domarlas.

    Es un juego que entra mucho por los sentidos ya que pone todo el poder de la PS4 en prueba y el resultado es increíble, no puedes creer lo que vez por momentos, aunque el realismo visual difiere de la interacción con el mundo donde las físicas son bastante torpes y a veces te permite hacer cosas que no se supone que deberíamos lograr como escalar rocas que no se supone que escalemos y tomemos ventaja de ello en los combates.

    La historia es increíble pero los diálogos muy aburridos y largos en ciertos momentos, son mucho mejores las partes donde Alloy va sola y descubre cosas sola. También el jefe final no me termino de convencer imagino que el DLC le da un mejor jefe final al juego.

    Horizon Zero Dawn tiene sus fallos pero para un estudio que venia de hacer Shooters este mundo abierto les quedo magnifico y espero las siguientes entregas corrijan lo poco malo que tiene para hacer juegos perfectos.    … 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.
