    Horizon: Zero Dawn is a prime example how an open world game should play like.

    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.

    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:

    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.

    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.

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

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

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.

    Геймплей игры очень интересный но жто бональный RPG с красивым открытым миром но проблема в том что жтот открытый мир довольно скудный второстепенные задания не интересны и добавлены для галочки тем не-менее игра смогла принести мне удовольствие.

    Проработанность ОМ - на высоком уровне проделанная работа заслуживает достойной оценки разрушенные города, холмы,леса и т.п, выполнены очень хорошо так же я должен заметить то что поселения и разрушаемость обьектов ужасна, что портит впечатление, но все равно поселения и большие скажем города которые были возведениы заново хороши, количество роботов и людей, давайте заденем это.

    Существа и люди в ОМ - Робо-звери модели, количество, размерыс разнообразие здесь игра отлично себя покозала есть очень разные робо-звери от малого до огромных, вроде длинношея или тирекса, так же второстипенные персонажи и просто люди встречающиеся на пути во время прохождения, они интересны но плохо проработанны а анимация лиц позор дичайший, надеюсь в сиквеле, проработанность характеров второстепенных персонажей и анимация лиц будет на новом уровне.

    Классная, богатая, красивая и интересная игра. Понимаю, почему игра является систем селлером PS4. Прошёл ее только сейчас и игра все еще прекрасно выглядит и играется(роботы - вау). Сюжет у игры не очень интересный, а вот мир - наоборот, впечатляет. Мир интересно исследовать, особенно гробницы. Огорчает, что персонажи - болванчики.Классная, богатая, красивая и интересная игра.

    The graphics is very very good. Gameplay can be repetitive, but if you play on hard mode then the combat can be quite fun and intense. The story is not mind blowing, just okay.

    El juego que supuestamente se vio opacado por Breath of the Wild... proponiendo un mundo abierto más vivo y mejor que el suyo. Es radicalmente diferente a él, pero creo sinceramente que están al nivel. El nacimiento de una de las mejores IP de los últimos años.

    It's surprising that a dev team that previously worked on a long running FPS franchise could make such a good open world RPG from third person.
    It's a great game with some of the open world pitfalls like empty spaces, repetitive quests and the usual stuff but it's all tied up very well with a beatiful design and a great post apocalyptic atmosphere.

    My only larger gripe is that while the overarching story of the world is great and interesting, the more personal stuff, especially pertaining to our heroine is boring - she is rather bland to me and all the other characters are as well.
    The best part about the game for me is the combat. It's just so well done and satisfying that i often come back to the game just to experience it for a few hours, great stuff.
    With the sequel incoming, i look forward to seeing how they improved an already great experience.    … Expand

Subestimei muito antes de jogar e quebrei a cara, se tornou um dos meus jogos favoritos da vida. Eloy é incrível como protagonista. Fiquei muito feliz e ansioso com o anúncio do Forbidden West.

    also big plus for there being a story mode so that even gamers with mediocre skills like me are able to finish this beautiful looking game and experience the story.

    The story gets better as you progress through the game. Graphically it is very good and playable too.
    The problem is that something repetitive is done and the machines are tired.
    I think it's a wise step to leave Killzone and make a new franchise, at least this first one is a good game, we'll see how it continues

    Beautiful world and deep combat. Two major things got right but naught else has been. Everyone is a robot and the plot is extremely shallow, despite the great potential, and makes for a real waste. Looting and crafting is incredibly boring and unintuitive. One of those games that's fun in the moment but would never really go back to.

After scanning the enemy, Focus will reveal to you what it consists of and, above all, what its strengths and weaknesses are, the fights have a well-tuned difficulty curve, so at the beginning you are afraid of every larger animal and you'd better go around some, because, for example, with Sawtooth you don't want to let go. It's not that it's not technically possible, but it simply shows respect, the environment can conjure up visual splendor above all - sunrises and sunsets, snowy locations, the desert.
    The Frozen Wilds It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be cold , All in all, an excellent expansion that will present you with new challenges in a new location, and at the same time help you with new weapons and skills. In short, The Frozen Wilds is an excellent addition, which is an absolute must for fans of the original game    … 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.
