    After playing the game for 15 hours I feel like I can give a review of my impressions this far. As a side note I'm more of a casual gamer and have always been a fan of open world games like Fallout as well as action/RPG games like the new Tomb Raider franchise and uncharted.

As a side note I'm more of a casual gamer and have always been a fan of open world games like Fallout as well as action/RPG games like the new Tomb Raider franchise and uncharted.

    I'll start out with the negatives first and then go to the positives. Some of the combat mechanics and movement seems a little bit "janky," to borrow an internet term. The worst cases of this are when jumping and with Melee combat. I honestly think the melee combat is the worst element of an otherwise very polished game. The lack of a lock on means you are kind of guessing and either hit or completely miss. Luckily, this is a small component of the game. I also feel like the facial animations are good, but not always great. There are minor details like getting out of the water or strange jumping/climbing mechanics at times which take away from the immersion a little. Another nitpick is that the enemies respawn very quickly. It keeps you on your toes, but I sometimes felt like wandering around and having to always go around or take down enemies can become a chore at times that I'm in an exploring mood.

    Now on to the positives. Nearly everything else is close to perfect. The graphics and world are amazing to look at with a lot variety and some of the best (if not the best) weather mechanics I've seen in a game. I'm fortunate to have a 4K tv and PS4 Pro and this game really shines on my system. My tv is even mid tier (Vizio M 2016) and it still is the best looking game I've played, but I have yet to play Uncharted 4.

    The combat is unique and if you take the time to learn the different enemy weaknesses, utilize a variety of weapons and plan your attacks it's a lot of fun. I'm usually the type that sticks with a couple weapons I like and I was doing this at first with the game and getting frustrated by the more difficult enemies. Once I started playing the game using the various combat mechanics as it's meant to be played, it really becomes enjoyable. I'm looking forward to uncovering the story and completing the game. I can't wait for the DLC and also (hopefully) follow up games to the IP.

    On a side note, remember to save often. It's annoying to spend a lot of time taking on enemies and gathering resources, only to die and have to start over.    … Expand

With an outstanding new combat system, gorgeous world, and by putting an immense amount of thought and care into the tropes it implements into its world, this game has thrown itself into stark contrast against most of the open-world genre. The game itself is split between indoor and outdoor areas, with the latter being the superior of the two. The lighting in the outdoor areas is stunning, and the excellent work with shadows grounds even the more ridiculous creatures in the forests and grassy plains they're in. In terms of aesthetics, this game is untouched by any in terms of quality except for possibly Uncharted 4. This especially works in favor of this game when it comes to the more basic mechanics like the stealth. Despite it being extremely limited, the grass is the only thing possible to hide in, the visuals stop the mechanics from becoming unforgivable. It's much easier to get sucked into the experience in this game rather than a game with less polished visuals and audio. However, despite the visuals doing their best, the stealth mechanics do get stale eventually. They function virtually identically every time they're introduced, and due to their simple nature, feel inferior to the more open-ended stealth mechanics of games like Metal Gear Solid V. The combat, on the other hand, needs no outstanding visuals to sell itself. Against the robots, this combat system is one of the greatest systems ever made. By giving each weakpoint a functional use, and removing that use with each weakpoint Aloy knocks off, it gives every battle a unique ebb and flow, and when the battle shifts to Aloy's favor, it feels like you're overpowering a giant titan. The human combat is much less impressive, the humans don't take advantage of the game's systems or do anything interesting in terms of attacks or strategy, yet the combat still simple fun in its own right. The worst moments of the combat, are never unforgivable. Walking down a hallway and stopping to shoot a few mindless human enemies may not be technically impressive, but can be fun for the brief periods of time its introduced. Luckily, multiple story missions do use the robots as enemies, leading to many unique moments rarely seen in other games. The Point of the Spear is extremely good at giving the player the freedom to experiment with the game's mechanics on their own, which makes everything the player learns feel organic, and the Mountain that Fell is an outstanding mission because it puts the player in new environments to fight the robots, instead of the regular tight corridors and hallways. The cauldrons, while being an interesting idea, often fall short of being anything special, due to the basic nature of their puzzles. Often in 3D games, and even in extremely recent ones such as Breath of the Wild, the nature of puzzles will be introduced slowly, so the mechanics feel familiar and difficult puzzles never feel overwhelming. Early in Breath of the Wild, the player is taught that freezing gears will result in the platforms they're connected to to stop moving. Later, there's a shrine where the player has to figure out which gear is connected to which platform and when to freeze the platforms to get the chests and still be able to get to the end of the shrine. Similarly, there is a puzzle in Horizon, where the player has to figure out how to get from one platform to another using cogs, yet the puzzle isn't built up much at all, as this is the only time where the game brings up being able to switch the direction of the cogs by hitting the light in the middle. Despite the lackluster puzzles, however, the cauldrons are amazing at creating an atmosphere, and the battles at the end of them are always top notch and outstanding at getting the player to think quickly in tight spaces, so the experience evens out. The side quests all have interesting stories, but they unfortunately fall into the same trap of following the trail of purple on the ground, so in my experience they are quite repetitive to complete one after another. The main story is intriguing, and makes the player always want to experience more, thanks to how well it controls information. For every piece of information revealed, there's a new question asked, always a new mystery to solve. This is almost a downside, however, because the story requires constant attention, doing anything besides following it breaks its pacing. There is very little downtime in the story and therefore the player will either follow the story and not do what they wish, or they will do what they wish, such as explore or do side quests, and it will break the flow of the story and remove the dramatic tension. This never ruined my enjoyment however, and despite its flaws, in my opinion Guerrilla has made an outstanding game, and a must-play for PS4 owners, so I'm going to have to give this game a strong 8 out of 10.… Expand

    Every aspect of this game is so good, great soundtrack, story, side quests, graphics, innovative enemies. The only weak point may be the melee combat that is pretty simple but still is really good. I would rate it with 9,5/10 but to compensate all the haters i will score it with a 10/10

Simply put, it’s one of the best looking games that ever made it to console.

    HZD feels like the perfected experience of many other games we’ve already played before. The similarities with Far Cry and Assassin’s Creed are clear since the very beginning. That said, this game offers much fun to be had, and it does so with a complete open world experience, an enjoyable story to unfold, a charismatic character and a very tight combat system. It just fails to bring anything new to the table, rehashing mechanics we’ve seen time and again.

Teniendo eso en cuenta lo que es su historia me pareció impresionante pero me pareció que eran excesivo los momentos de preguntas del juego son demasiados largos y es información adicional que ver, pero yendo ahora al gameplay me parece una de las cosas gratificantes de Horizon pelear con cada maquina es un reto al que enfrentar y conocer al adversario ya que cada es diferente y eso hace que las luchas con las maquinas sean divertidas y variadas es algo excepcional con las maquinas pero con los humanos no es el enfoque principal por lo que no llega al nivel de las maquinas , ahora con la protagonista "Aloy" me parece una gran elección decidir que sea chica la protagonista, le da mas personalidad a lo que es al juego y Aloy es carismática , fuerte e independiente es un gran personaje por si solo incluso diría que me enamore de su personaje.

It's simply boring, and you're given no reason to care about anyone in the game besides Aloy and Rost, and one other character that is spoiler territory. This means that every side-quest you do has no real meaningful story you will care about, nor meaningful characters.

    The latter half of the main story however, is so strong in creating and describing the world around Aloy that you get to feel attatched to her, and you gain a real understanding of how her world is being turned upside down. These parts are epic, and impactful.

    Gameplay-wise, the game is falls somewhere between good and great. The many weapons provide interesting ways of taking down enemies, but more often than not, I found that using just the 2 most basic weapons available would get the job done more effectively than experimenting with others. Using some of the other weapons is often a challenge, and the pay-off for nailing a certain attack with a weapon is rarely that great.

    The world is massive, and that's normally always a bad thing, because you'll have these large empty wastelands, devoid of anything worthwhile to do. These wastelands are also present in Horizon Zero Dawn's world, but they are usually hidden away in the corners of the map, serving no real purpose. It doesn't detract from the experience that they exist, but it certainly doesn't add anything either, to have a large area with nothing but more of the same enemies you could find elsewhere.

    The rewards for doing sidequests are mostly experience based, which is great until you hit the level cap. At that point, I stopped myself from doing any further sidequests, because their plots were bad, their NPC's were bad, and now there was no useful reward in sight either.

    Whilst running around, you'll find a few collectibles scattered around the world that serve no purpose besides trophies, which is great if that's your thing (I enjoyed getting the platinum trophy), but the in-game rewards for getting these out-of-the-way collectibles were laughable.

    A last nitpick is gear-acquiring. You get the best equipment within the first 5-10 hours of playing, because it is all purchased directly from nearly every vendor in the game. If they are going to make a sequel, I recommend they focus more on making interesting side-characters, making their sidequests more interesting, and most importantly, rewarding. Rewards could, conveniently, be better weaponry.

    Despite all of this criticism, I must say it was a rollercoaster that ended with a thrill, but had some tedious boring middle parts, and it certainly was not perfect. The combat feels good/great, story is good/great at times, sidequests exist but aren't worth much, and there are plenty of mostly pointless dots on the map for those inclined to clear the map. Ultimately, my many criticisms are mostly nitpicks, and that is why they don't detract much from the otherwise solid foundation of the gameplay, decent story, and beautiful world. Hence a 7.5/10.    … Expand

    Definitely worth playing.
    Or I should probably say reliving the amazing story of Aloy as she uncovers her link to Dr. Elisabet Sobeck and the great sacrifice that she made. The events of the game take you to a distant future where the world is overrun by robots while humanity is reduced to relatively primitive tribes.

    Horizon is one of the biggest and best surprises to me in years. When I bought it it had already got the expansion and the new difficulty mode (I played the game right away on Ultra-Hard which was awesome)

When I bought it it had already got the expansion and the new difficulty mode (I played the game right away on Ultra-Hard which was awesome)
    I expected a good game, but I had no idea how fantastic it actually was.

    Horizon Zero Dawn is a mix between Assassins Creed, Monster Hunter, Shadow of the Colossus and Mass Effect but feel very fresh and unique in the open world genre. The graphics are truly fantastic and at times some of the best I have seen in any game (though there is one major problem that I will come to later) and the gameplay is smooth and fun all the way. The battles with the robots never got boring and is probably the best action and fighting I have seen in any game. Even after I clocked in on almost exactly 100 hours after I had completed the main quest and almost all the side quests I still enjoy fighting them and I look forward to tackling the expansion next.

    I love how you can adjust the HUD to have as much or little information you want, and still view it at a glance with a press of the touch pad. That is so great (the only complaint there is that I wish there was some more option to just show unheard audiologs etc even if you don't see all other things since if playing with very little HUD as I like to do I missed many of them)

    There are so many other positive things I could say and I truly love the game, but I like to focus on the negative aspects in the hope they could be improved for the sequel.

    This is one of the strongest 9:s I have ever given, but it is a shame that I can't give it a 10, because it is sooo close and the reasons why are such small things that hold it back that would have been so easy to fix and made this a complete 10 game. The biggest complaint I have with Horizon is the small but extremely annoying fact that you can't change the time of day in Horizon. Horizon have a very quick and unnatural timescale that shift from day to night. That is a nice feature in most games, the problem here though is that Horizon looks so amazing during daytime with some of the best lightning and environments I have ever seen, but at night it all becomes a grey mess where you can't see much of anything. There are some rare exceptions where the moonlight can shine nicely in the jungle, but most of the time spent at nighttime is just so bland and boring compared to daytime and I did not even want to enter new areas during the night since I would not appriciate the new landscape like that. I also had a feeling of stress during the day and even though I often wanted to just stop and take in the environments I hurried on because I knew that the bland grey mass of the grey night was soon coming.

    It is beyond me why they did not just have a simple function where you could change the time, the games save system is resolving around campfires so it would have made perfect sense to be able to adjust the time there or just have it move 8-12 hours every time you rest at a camp. It is such a small thing, but it really made a negative impact on the game.

    Another thing that is annoying in the game when so much is near pefection is that dialogue of NPC:s often repeat themself way to much. Some shop keepers even shout at you to come and talk to them just after you have bartered with them. It is beyond me how they could keep it this lazy when they have put so much care into the rest of the game.

    Also the game suffers from some invisible walls and since I prefer to play with as little fast traveling as possible this was most notible and annoying when trying to go between starter areas and later areas. The game is made so that you are supposed to travel from the starter area through to the later areas, but when going back you have to travel through the previous areas. I can understand why they made it this way so as to not have the player wander off to long at the beginning, but it would be great if it was possible later on to traverse over the mountains to quicker get around the map back to all other areas. Aloy (the main character) is great at traversing cliffs, but there are some places and mountains where you can't cross over because of invisible walls etc.

    Most of the texts from the old world you find outside in the world are vapid, completely uninteresting and badly written. A sense of lost potential.

    Also while I love the main character and think she is great, there is the jarring feeling in the rest of the NPC:s that there is some sort of feminist diversity thing going on as so often these days. The vast majority of the powerful good NPC characters you will come across are women and it feels very unnatural and forced at times. (Though again, the main character is great and very likeable)

    Now with that out of the way, again I absolutely love this game and everyone who have a PS4 should get it (And if you don't have one I actually think it is worth getting it for this game). I would give it a 9.6 on a scale    … Expand

    This game rekindled my passion for video games. The experience of not only being competently challenged by a game's mechanics, but being awestruck by it's art, invested in its story, and immersed in its world. Aloy is, or is very nearly, my all-time favorite video game protagonist. Not that it matters, but I'm saying that as an adult man. I will never forget this game. Thank you Guerrilla Games.

    I don't know which aspect i should appraise. This game is near perfect in almost everything it delivers. Combat and leveling up system are two best aspect of this game. Different variety of weapons allow the player a different approach to kill the machine. Leveling up system is addictive to an extend that I played this game 20 hours straight without a break on two different occasions. Killing machines, looting, searching for crafting resources and mods is very satisfying. Some aspects of the game are inspired by latest Tomb Raider. It's not a criticism, I actually liked how it copied some stuff from that game.

    There isn't much to discuss when you're talking about the weak aspects of this game. Major thing I noticed is, this game does not reward for playing on higher difficulties. Not even a trophy. I was expecting xp loot in hard difficulty and switched to normal when I found out there is nothing you get for playing in hard difficulty. Graphics are good but some people are saying they have never seen graphics like this before. Its a straight lie. or maybe they don't play video games too much. According to open world games standard, maybe this game has the best graphics but not in general. Same goes for story. In video games actual story matter less then the way it's delivered, and this game had not delivered it properly in my opinion. I'm not trying to say that story and graphics are weak aspects of this game. I'm just trying to say I have played games with better story and graphics.    … Expand

I haven't had this much fun since Doom (2016).

    Presentation is very high point of this game. Environments are just stunning, especially vegetation that is really dense, however it rarely interacts with player (moves on touch etc.). Sound and voice acting were also really great.

    Story is surprisingly good. I was expecting something very predictable and not really new. I was very surprised when it turned out the story was quite fresh and delivered very well. The protagonist was well written and I have quickly got to like her. I can't wait for a sequel to learn more about game world.

    Inventory and looting mechanics are probably the 'worst' part of this game. You spend a lot of time fretting about inventory space - I have opted to upgrade it ASAP. It's also worth noting that (at least in my case) you get nigh on the best gear halfway through and it makes looting much less exciting later on. I think there should have been at least two more gear tiers after 'purple'. There's also not much to do with most stuff you loot and especially money. Except for buying wires which are used up QUICKLY, I didn't buy almost anything for my entire playthrough and finished game with probably more money than king of Meridian has.

    Doing all side quests except for tutorials and hunting grounds the game took me about 60 hours to complete (progress meter stopped at about 81%).

    I recommend it to anyone. It can however ruin your enjoyment from other less ambitious titles, like ME: Andromeda which now feels half (or even quarter) baked.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros: 1) Very original story and refreshing concepts. Settings of the post-apocalypse world are quite plausible. The story serves as an alarm to the overheating AI industry today. It reminds us how dangerous machines can get, with powerful processing ability and machine learning algorithms, if we don't impose limit on their development.
    2) The combat is quite exciting and the bow goes well with the huntress. Although it can get a little dull in late game when you can kill any giant machine with iced bolts plus precise arrows.
    3) I like how the robots inside the game looks, which were designed based on morphology.
    4) Very rich background introduction through datapoints.

    Cons:
    1) As a RPG, the open world experience is not as engaging as other big titles, such as Witcher 3 or the Elder Scroll. The world seems a bit too desolate and the NPCs are mostly emotionless. Interactions with them feels unsatisfying because they feel more like you work partners instead of friends.    … Expand

    I'll be the first to admit that before hearing about "Horizon Zero Dawn," I had no prior experience with any of Guerrilla Game's previous titles, and while that doesn't really matter in this case because all of their previous titles ("Shellshock: Nam '67" and the "Killzone" series) were shooters, it's just something of a disclaimer.

My experience with the company was nonexistent, but after seeing this game for the first time at E3 2015, I absolutely fell in love. It looked like a fresh, fun, different take on the post-apocalyptic world setting, and I knew I needed to play it. I unfortunately had to wait until a few months after launch to grab it (thank you, Nintendo Switch and "Breath of the Wild"), but when I did finally get the game and sit down and play it, I couldn't be happier with it.
    "Horizon Zero Dawn" is an all-around exciting game: it's easy to get lost in, but you won't mind getting lost thanks to the vibrant, beautifully-designed landscapes that are brimming with activity and excitement at every corner. The game mixes several different gameplay concepts, mixing stealth with action RPG elements in an open-world styled game, and the result is remarkable. The combat could be occasionally a bit bulky, but once you learn what you're doing, it's really a blast. It's also one of those games that feels easy to get into, but also has some really great difficulty curves throughout. And beyond that, the story is deep and character-driven, and I have to say that I think it's refreshingly awesome that we have a video game with a badass female that's not overly objectified or sexualized in any way. Aloy is a truly captivating character, and Ashly Burch's performance as the character is magnificent. This is a game that has pretty much everything going for it, and even the minor missteps are worth forgiving when you look at the bigger picture.
    Sure, the character models might be a small shortcoming, but the overall design of the game makes that forgivable. Sure, the combat may be a little clunky, but it's forgivable when the game is so exciting and there's enough opportunity to learn what you're doing. "Horizon Zero Dawn" is truly a marvel; it's one of the best games of the eighth generation, and it's an example of how to do a great open-world game with some good crossover here and there. If you haven't gotten to play this gem, what better time than the present? Give it a shot, I'm sure you'll love it!

    A cookie cutter open world game with a bland story and characters. The main character is uninspired and of course has a bow. Another action game where you use a bow, not very original. I guess I'm just over these formulaic open world games since playing RDR2.

The main character is uninspired and of course has a bow. Another action game where you use a bow, not very original. I guess I'm just over these formulaic open world games since playing RDR2.

    It's hard to go back to the old standard. The characters are thoroughly uninteresting and the mechanics are the same as just about every open world game that's come out in the past couple of years, namely Far Cry. I found little reason to care for the characters or the mystery in the story. You also get the standard branching dialogue response, which basically gives you the option to be nice, mean, or smart. No idea where it all leads as it seems as though it has no effect on what happens. Instead it's fetch this and go kill this and then get x amount of this, ad nauseum.

    When the first mission in the game tasks you with "get x of this and y of this" you know your in for some lazy game design. The UI is a total mess and there is so much crap on the screen at once. Simply navigating is hard to do here and of course you can climb but only on pre approved surfaces in certain areas that have the necessary prompts. The upgrading is standard faux RPG action hybrid in the style of Far Cry. You can add things like slow motion aim and auto stealth takedowns. It's all been done before yet better. The stealth is barebones. Hide in tall grass or else you are seen, lol! The enemies are also pretty uninteresting and uninspired. The look cool though.

    Like I said, it's hard to go back to this archaic open world design after playing games like Witcher 3 and RDR2. This game does have some solid graphics though, which is to be expected since it's a platform exclusive. It also runs pretty smoothly and has a few interesting areas. I'm not too impressed by the rest though. It's a just carbon copy of AC/Far Cry games.    … Expand

It is deepFinally a new IP that stands out with somethings familiar yet somethings original and fresh. The setting is a far future apocalyptic Earth where feral machines roam the planet like wild animals and mankind survives in small primitive tribes warring against each other. The story is amazing with some cool and interesting twists. The combat, however, is the big selling point. It is deep and surprisingly difficult even at average difficulty. If you go into nearly any fight without doing your research you will lose a ton of resources, health and maybe the fight. There are dozens of unique robot enemies, each with their strengths, weaknesses and weak points. Dozens of hours into the game and I was still finding new enemies to fight. The open world is huge with biomes ranging from ruined overgrown cities, to desert, snowy mountains and jungles.
    One issue I had is that stealth is a lot harder than other similar games like Assassin's Creed or Shadows of Mordor. Enemies spot you very easily, even with stealthier gear equipped and when they do spot you they (mostly human enemies) alert the entire camp instantly. Some camps are designed where stealth is all but impossible, or at least very time consuming. Some stealth abilities like Death from Above or the Ledge Grab I've never used because their were no good situations to use them.
    Loot is randomized and always crafting supplies and upgrades. Every type of weapon or armor must be bought from vendors and every vendor has the exact same inventory. Would have been nice for some variety.
    The voice acting of a handful of the main characters is great but some side characters, especially in the beginning of the game, is hysterically bad. I'm looking at you young Nora warriors.
    The combat is the biggest selling point of the game. It is probably the hardest of recent games I've played on the PS4. It's both a plus and a minus. I love the difficulty which usually consists of targeting small weak points hidden on a machine. Certain ammo types will remove that component or destroy it causing massive damage. The problem I have is that, being a native PC gamer, I'm not great at targeting fine points with the controller stick. That's my problem, not the games. I don't want to lower the difficulty because I like the challenge but I wish I had additional settings options to help me. Like lowering aiming sensitivity on the right stick. If you lower sensitivity it lowers your look sensitivity in and out of combat making everything painfully slow. Or maybe a setting to increase my bullet time slow down or even lower the speed at which time is slowed. These enemies are brutal and you'll find quickly in the game that even standard enemies can seem like boss fights especially when fought in numbers. All enemies have perfect aim that never miss and must be dodged. There are no blocks in the game. All machines have melee charge attacks that require near perfect timing to dodge. All fights are challenging yet very rewarding. Even after I finished the main story I went back to punish myself for more.    … Expand

The game is an open-world action RPG done right. It is obvious that the graphics are among of the best of this generation. The game's varying locales make sure that the game's aesthetics never become dull. Great graphics still have the disadvantage of long load times. Make sure you have something to distract yourself with while you're playing this game. Even though the world is large, every place you can go to and activity you can do has a high bar of quality set for it. The world has reason to be exactly as large as it is. I would not suggest going through all the content, but at least finish all four cauldrons, override all five tallnecks, and get blazing sun ranks on all 15 hunting trials. Though there are leveling elements involved, there is a substantial feeling of progress and difficulty (which is best set at normal and never changed). Some of the resource systems feel annoying until you upgrade inventory size. The resources used to make arrows are so common that I never felt like I actually had to think about that system. There are enough unique enemy types to where it feels you have something to sink your teeth into, and you also view them differently as you progress through the game. A robot that gave you some trouble or you avoided at the beginning of the game now feels fairly easy (but not mindlessly so) to take out, and this feels great. Each robot has a complex array of weak points, points weak to certain types of damage, points that you can shoot off to disable some of the robots' attacks, points that you can shoot to make them explode, points that you can shoot off to use against the robots as weapons, points to shoot of to disable a robots shield, points to shoot off to disable invisibility, points that are only exposed by shooting other points, points that the robots only expose on occasion, smaller points that are detachable for some quick loot, and points to shoot loot crates off of the backs of machines among other things. On top of an intelligent AI, there are lots of ways to fight these guys. You can take some time to lay out traps and stock up on health reserves or perhaps override some machines to fight for you. At the same time, you're not too disadvantaged if you just want to get into the action immediately. Human combat, on the other hand, mostly involves shooting people in the head and exploiting AI. It's not awful, but it's pale in comparison. The variety of viable tools you have at your disposal is as wonderfully deep as the robots' design, and somehow the game's mechanics still do not feel bloated. The story is a mixed bag. It starts out very captivating and is enjoyable all the way through, but there is little to no character development or interesting voice acting besides that of the protagonist herself. Only one character besides Aloy (Sylens) felt fleshed out enough for me to feel satisfied. Though the character models look beautiful, the lip syncing is pretty bad. It was by far the most enjoyable when delving into the ruins of past civilization. There you find text logs, audio logs, and holograms that tell a detailed story of humanity's efforts to exist past an apocalypse. Each mission along the main path explains another aspect of this story, and it gives you enough information to satisfy you yet also want to find more. The story only had one part where I really felt emotionally invested, and that was on the second to last mission. The ending is a bit disappointing. Also, for a game that has tons of battles against giant robots, ending the game by fighting an enemy type that has already popped up many times before is underwhelming. The game's ruins show some colossal, ancient war machines that perhaps could have been corrupted by the game's main villain to make for a great final boss.… Expand

The me of maybe 4-5 years ago would have given this a 9, but the me of today cannot give it more than an 8. When you have been playing games for more than 20 years, new and unique experiences become rare.

    This game has some really nice visuals, good audio and solid game mechanics. However, it just doesn't grab my attention that much. I can play for 15 mins and then I want to do something else.

    Some machine models really look crap and you think to yourself - "did a small kid design this specific model"? Maybe there was a bring your kid to work day and the best creature drawing got converted into a 3d model used for the game. I don't know.

    The story is intriguing in the sense that you want to know what happened, and I think at the core has potential. But the journey from start to finish loses that feeling almost immediately. In some cases certain aspects of the game felt more like a chore than a truly enjoyable experience.

    Un juego que engancha desde el principio con una gran historia acompañados de un aspecto visual impresionante. Un juego recomendable, muy recomendable. Junto con Uncharted y The Last of Us los mejores exclusivos de Sony.
    Un juego que mezcla perfectamente la "prehistoria" con la tecnologia, y con una protagonista, Aloy, que Guerrilla Games ha creado de maravilla
    Ha nacido una nueva gran saga....

The combat is basic but very fast and fluid and looks gorgeous throughout with is a feat in itself for a world as open. Easily one of the best looking games out there. Issues for me was the stealth side of the game, hiding or staying hiding was too bad but it's been able to tag and know everything so early on making it far too easy and also just calling guards or machines over one by one with nothing alerting them as bodies stack up. Again making it too easy as it's my main fault is its a stroll in the park really. The story (no spoilers here) is gengaging and enjoyable but the same can't be said for the side quests and errands which is a fault with most open world games in fairness and there's a lack of them for a game and map of its size. Along with the story the protagonist, Aloy is a great character and definitely someone to build a franchise around can't wait to play more games in the Horizon world with her… Expand

The revelations of how civilization as we know it rose and    Horizon: Zero Dawn presents a refreshing and very different take on the apocalypse and it's aftermath, and it's one I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing.

    The world of Horizon: Zero Dawn is so fascinating, as it has a captivating central mystery regarding how society has regressed into tribes and how metal beasts now roam the earth. The revelations of how civilization as we know it rose and fell, and how this new one came to be are brilliantly told and I loved this aspect of the game. These parts of the story were extremely enjoyable, morbid, interesting and emotional. The tribes and the stories based on their conflicts and ideologies aren't as compelling, but they are still fleshed out and enjoyable, and the game balances the past and present well.

    The gameplay of Horizon is great, and hunting robot dinosaurs is as fun as it sounds. The machines are quite visually distinct and are all well designed, both in terms of looking cool and in terms of how they serve the gameplay, as they all have different strengths and weaknesses which rewards some degree of strategy. There's enough variety in the enemy types and weapons to make combat fun from the start of the game to the very end. Shooting a machine's own weapon off it with arrows, and then using that same weapon to take the machine down is satisfying. The Frozen Wilds DLC introduces its own new machines which are also fun to take down. I do wish there were more mounts though, as there are only three different types in the whole game and they're all quite similar. Perhaps it also would've been cool if you had more direct control over machines you override.

    Another thing Horizon: Zero Dawn nails are the graphics - they are consistently amazing, and I found myself taken aback by just how good the game looked on a regular basis. The photo mode got a lot of use from me. Facial animations are usually decent but some side characters look a bit off.

    Horizon has a big open world to explore and a lot of content to play through, but not all of it is to the same high standard as the main quest. Some of the side quests and errands are much less inspired, and the rewards you get for them are frequently underwhelming, although there are some exceptions. I was also not a huge fan of the climbing system, as it often felt clumsy and way too linear. The paths you can climb are too obviously laid out, which weakens the sense of natural exploration. It feels too restrictive, especially when compared to the climbing in Breath of the Wild. Another thing I wasn't overly fond of is the inventory space, which is just too small, even when fully upgraded. I found it annoying to keep having to open up my inventory to dismantle some resources or mods to make room for new ones.

    Overall though, this is a game that I had a lot of fun with, and I loved the worldbuilding in particular, including the character work.

    The Frozen Wilds is also a really strong addition to the base game. The new environment is gorgeous and the side quest rewards are an improvement on those in the main game, as you get to upgrade your spear and are given some really powerful new weapons. The Banuk are an interesting tribe and the main quest of The Frozen Wilds is pretty good.

    All told, I'm leaning towards a 9/10 for this title as it succeeds in both artistic merit and in the cathartic fun of destroying huge machines with a bow and arrow.    … 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.
