    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.

    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

    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

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

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.

You are given an exceptional degree of options and freedom of choice in how you play. Stealth and combat are equally viable in almost every situation with multiple avenues branching off of either choice. But the most fun is had when you blend both together as well as the different options within each to create your own style of gameplay.

    One of my favourite games on the PS4. I really like the way the story of how the world ended is told through you finding snippets of information lying around the place. I found it novel and interesting but I can see how others wouldn't enjoy it as much. The characters are engaging and believable although some of the interactions outside the main story were less than interesting.

The characters are engaging and believable although some of the interactions outside the main story were less than interesting.
    The combat style is fun. The controls have a very Far Cry feel to them but the mechanic of knocking parts off an enemy and then using those parts to defeat them is a great idea. There's a lot more that can be done with this idea and i can't wait to see how it evolves in future games.
    The main character Aloy is a breath of fresh air in an industry that is packed with contrived characters seemingly added for the sole purpose of virtue signalling. Aloy's frenemy Sylen is an interesting character and I'm really looking forward to see how he returns in the next game.
    This game has an engaging story and fun combat dynamic. Highly recommended    … Expand

    Sei es das geniale Kampfsystem, das so individuell und vielseitig spielbar ist, wie in kaum einem anderen Spiel dieser Generation. Sei es die spannende Erzählstruktur um den weiblichen Hauptcharakter Aloy, die Quest für Quest, die Geschichte dieser fremden Welt immer weiter enträtselt. Sei es das Jagd-Gefühl, die Spannung, wenn man im Dickicht an den patrouillierenden Robos vorbeischleicht, nur um im richtigen Moment aus dem Hinterhalt effektiv zuzuschlagen. Gerade dieser starke Kontrast aus konzentriertem Schleichen und plötzlicher, adrenalingeladener Action, wenn es zum offenen Kampf kommt, machen Horizon Zero Dawns Open World zu einem Abenteuerspielplatz, der seinesgleichen sucht.

    Nicht zuletzt ist es auch die phantastische Atmosphäre dieser überragend inszenierten Spielewelt, die einem mit ihrer Schönheit, Grafikpracht und Animationsvielfalt einfach berauschen muss und immer wieder aufs neue packt.

Langit malam dengan pemandangan bintangnya juga luar biasa. Selain suasana pagi dan malam, game ini juga dilengkapi dengan cuaca hujan dan salju. Grafis dan tekstur yang detail disetiap objek membuat game ini terasa begitu real.

    Salah satu yang terbaik dari game ini dan menjadi yang terbaik dibandingkan dengan game2 lainnya adalah "mode kamera". Player bisa membuat foto yang sangat keren dengan konsep cinematic dengan berbagai angle. Dilengkapi dengan beberapa pilihan filter yang keren, pilihan pose alloy dan player juga bisa mengganti suasana pagi,siang,sore dan malam yang membuat fotonya terlihat berbeda.

    Dari segi combat system, horizon memiliki combat system yang unik, detail dan cukup menantang dibandingkan game2 open world lainnya. Combat system Horizon adalah 3rd person shooting, senjata yang digunakan adalah panah ditambah dengan beberapa senjata unik lainnya yang sejenis. Robot2 yang kita lawan memiliki elemen kelemahan masing2 dan memiliki titik2 kelemahan yang bisa menjadi target agar serangan kita lebih efektif. Ada cukup banyak variasi robot di game ini dan memiliki tantangannya masing2. Player akan sering menemukan gerombolan robot2 disetiap bagian map-nya, sangat cocok untuk player yang suka dengan combat systemnya.

    Konsep cerita Horizon cukup unik dan menarik serta dipenuhi dengan banyak misteri. Hanya saja kurang dieksekusi dengan baik. Story-nya sangat minim cutscene dan movie. Story disetiap chapternya sangat singkat dan kurang menantang untuk dijelajahi. Kuranganya relasi tokoh utama dengan tokoh2 lainnya, menjadikan alloy sebagai lone wolf. Terasa cukup sepi karena harus berjuang sendirian.

    Dari segi dunianya, meskipun sangat indah tetapi kurang interaktif. Tidak banyak yang bisa dilakukan. Tetapi ada beberapa kegiatan menarik yang bisa dilakukan selama menjelajahi mapnya, seperti berburu, mencari bahan busur panah dan potion, hunting robot part untuk upgrade armor dan senjata. Ada banyak variasi hewan yang bisa diburu dan sistem berburunya cukup menyenangkan.

    Satu lagi yang menjadi nilai plus dari game ini adalah side quest yang menarik dengan sedikit tambahan cerita. TIdak terlalu repetitif dan jumlahnya tidak terlalu banyak. Untuk tambahan nilai minus-nya adalah slot item yang dibatasi dan cukup merepotkan.    … Expand

Just watching those trailers made me laugh at the concept. And now with all the hype into the forbidden west launch, I figured I could give it a shot.... and it was an awesome adventure! 60FPS is a MUST for me, I can't play at 30FPS since all my life played computer games, 60FPS feels natural for me, so every time I play a console game at 30FPS feels dated and awkward. So, glad I played the game now that has a 60FPS patch for PS5.  Looks so fluid.

    Conclusion: Amazing characters & the game lore is fascinating! Gameplay is fun, but again I can't get pass at a girl shooting arrows at giant robots... but I guess someday I will come to terms with that part. Why can't she dig a futuristic version of a Stinger or Javelin and take those robots down with proper technology like she uses the focus? Maybe an assault rifle to take down the cultist? Nah, everything has to be done with a Bow, technology can be used in the game, just not for gameplay.     … 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.
