    I played the complete edition. Really liked it, the combat system is awesome and challenging; the progression and skill system is very interesting and balanced. The narrative and story twists are polished and well though and will keep you engaged until the end. The side quests are interesting and you don't feel like they are just filler, like in other games.

And Aloy is a charming protagonist.… Expand

It allows you to play either high-octane action style or go full stealth mode, which I preferred for some reason, even though I usually dislike stealth games.

    At the beginning and via trailers i though this game was a load of crap. Got it for free with the purchase of my PS4 Pro.

    Only played this title after a year of launch date. Oh boy how wrong was I. This is probably one of the best Scifi stories in a game to date. The sheer amount of info into the world of Horizon was epic! What made the game even better is the environment.    At the beginning and via trailers i though this game was a load of crap.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think the moment where I realised how beautiful this game is when I saw a Tallneck for the first time but the moment where I realised that this game is actually really good, was when I fought the first Thunderjaw. I am not ashamed to admit that my first take down took 10 minutes because I was super nervous about how to approach that thing and with what strategy I should proceed.

    The thing which bothered me a lot while also impressing me was the size of the over world. The map is huge. You could spend hours just walking from one side of the map to another. Luckily there are fast travel packs which you can use to get from A to B fairly quickly, however, that was the biggest problem for me. I finished my first play-through without using one of the fast travel packs once. I walked everywhere because I felt like if I would ride one of the machines or if I fast-travel, I would miss out on too much. The map is so big and it feels like there is so much to discover that fast traveling might ruin the experience a bit. But the problem is that for some quests in the main story you literally have to walk from one end of the map to another which, as I said before, can take up a good hour or two.

    My last point is that, while the main story is really interesting and fun, they are sometimes quite repetitive in the nature of what you have to do. The same goes for side quests. And personally, the final boss fight in this game disappointed me, simply because it didn't really feel like the final fight. It felt just like any other fight in the game.

    I just realised that I have written way more negative points than positive ones, but please, don't get the wrong idea. The game is great and I definitely recommend you buying it because even though it might be a bit repetitive, doesn't mean it is not great fun.    … Expand

    The game fascinates with its matchless setting. She is top notch in all aspects. It has excellent graphics and an interesting plot.

    A beautiful looking game with a nice & strong main character. I am a casual player, and thought the difficulty spiked quite heavily at a few times, but I still managed to end the game (albeit with a special item from the game).
    The story was at times a but confusing, and at times a bit slow, but overall it is a well thought out world.

    Horizon isn't the most unique game as far as open worlds go, but it does its thing with more polish and refinement than many other games.

    Pros:

    -Graphics: Horizon is beautiful game. Enemies look spectacular and the environments are immersive. The weather systems make the world feel alive (you can watch puddles evaporate in the sun). If you can see it, you can go there.

    -Gameplay: This is where Horizon shines the most. Combat is deep and each new skill you learn feels that in builds upon, rather than replaces, the skills you learned prior. It leaves room for different play styles, though early on in the game it focuses on stealth. You can be tactical or go in guns blazing. It is challenging enough to feel rewarding, but not frustrating.

    -Story: Lots of great lore with compelling mysteries.

    -Side quests: Side quests in many cases are as good as the main quests. Fetch and "go here and kill that" quests are in the game, but kept to a minimum.

    -DLC: Great DLC expansion in "The Frozen Wilds". Story is excellent and fits in with the narrative of the main game and many other elements feel even more refined.

    Cons:

    -NPC side stories and dialogue aren't particularly interesting and I was often finding myself skipping through them.

    -In general, you can't enter many buildings.    … Expand

The game is set in our world, a few hundred or thousands of years after the present. Humanity as we know it no longer exists, people live in tribes, and the wild world is dominated by animal-like machines. The story, in my opinion is very good, it always encourages you to continue to discover what happened to our world.

    Graphically, it's the best I've ever played, it made my Play Station sound like a 40-year-old motorcycle. Something that I think can be corrected in that sense, are the animations of the face, the smiles seem to be made with Garrys Mod and that takes away the seriousness of the conversation.

    As an open world it is fine, but it can be improved. I would have liked there to be longer missions, than there are, but more.

    The character design is enough, I never seemed to find an npc almost the same as the one I saw 2 minutes ago, which if it happened in Skyrim for example.

    The controls are super comfortable, and the combat can be as you want: you can go and kill everyone with the spear (which I did), kill stealthily and setting electric traps, or shoot from a distance with your arrows.

    I give it a 9.3 out of 10. I have high expectations regarding its sequel, because for me this game is already INCREDIBLE without being perfect, and I know that Forbbiden West will be better    … Expand

    Game-play is smooth and hunting for new machines is extremely satisfying. The variety of mechanics and weapon-types gives you opportunities to discover tactic against every enemy. And the feeling after beating your first Thunderjaw is just worth the effort of learning them all.
    The story that this game tells is rather standard hero journey type but it feels really satisfying to go through. You start as nearly nobody and end as a chosen one, and most powerful character in the end. It is pleasing to look back at the route you have gone through. It has that magic feeling of discovering a new, fantastic world that you are a huge part of.
    The worst part of the game are the plot of quest and characters. After playing Witcher 3 I expect a little more depth from that little stories, not just the main one. Characters are flat and mostly black-and-white. Purely good (like Avad) or purely bad (like Helis). The most interesting one was NIll - guy who kills bandits not to do some good, but because he likes too kill. Oh and maybe Erend before he sobered up.
    But the main character of the story is the world itself. It is beautifully crafted and you really want to get lost in it. And I did. For like 80 hours. I recommend you do it as well.    … Expand

    This game is a near-perfect masterpiece in terms of gameplay, visuals, and design, and together these three factors weave an intricate, dangerous and gorgeous world I relished exploring.

    Aloy is one of the best videogame protagonists in a long time - confident, strong, funny and emotive, she was a true pleasure to guide around the post-post-apocalyptic landscape. Speaking of which,    This game is a near-perfect masterpiece in terms of gameplay, visuals, and design, and together these three factors weave an intricate, dangerous and gorgeous world I relished exploring.

    Aloy is one of the best videogame protagonists in a long time - confident, strong, funny and emotive, she was a true pleasure to guide around the post-post-apocalyptic landscape. Speaking of which, Horizon is probably the best looking game I've ever played. I regularly found myself marveling at the environments, remnant structures, weather/lighting effects and character animations as I played through. Extra sidequests in which you collect various items from precarious positions atop snowy mountains and dramatic mesas were essential to really take in the scope and breadth of this game. The backstory of the world before Horizon's timeline is filled in with optional quests and datafiles hidden throughout the vast map in caverns, derelict shopping malls, jungles and deserts, and each add a unique take on life as we know it, long gone from the planet in Horizon. The variety involved travelling around either by foot or on one of the many equestrian-style machines is admirable. The story itself is great, with enough twists and turns and emotion to drive you onwards to learn the truth of Earth's current circumstances. A few developments really blew me away towards the end - be ready! A highlight for me was uncovering the secrets of optional 'cauldrons', creepy, mysterious factories deep under the ground from before the fall of society, these are definitely worth going out your way to complete, as they add a fantastic slant to the plot.

    Combat is absolutely fantastic and very challenging. One wrong move can put you in an extremely compromising position, with the mechanical beasts proving incredibly violent and clever. They will gang up on you, corner you, unleash desperate charges and barrages of missiles or lasers, necessitating fast reflexes and sharpshooting. Luckily Aloy has you covered. With excellent bow mechanics, reaction time speed-altering, decent melee and a variety of sneak attacks, traps, elemental weapons and even the opportunity to turn machines against each other, you always have the tools to succeed. Death is frequent, but always deserved, making each battle won feel like a true achievement, and allowing for some titanic struggles against some of the gargantuan creatures on offer. Stormbirds specifically present exhilarating and occasionally terrifying encounters.

    There are a few TINY issues with the game - occasionally hammy dialogue, a limited (but acceptable) weapon/customisation, less thrilling human battles, and a disappointing final battle (followed by a solid story ending). None of these spoil the game in too much and | wholeheartedly award it a 10. Never have I be so stunned by a game world before - the beauty and visceral energy in it is something of a wonder, and it truly compels you to want to explore every part of the map, fight every ruthless machine (beating them by the skin of your teeth), collect every trinket and climb every peak.

No surprises and unnecessary combinations. We finally get the finished product in terms of visual and sound. The game is well-run with a satisfactory combat system. Each mission is different, side missions are not self-inflicted.

    The Dutch studio creating the feature page was very much drawn from the CD Projekt production, only Aloy is devoid of the axle that we could blame the Witcher. The mechanics are lighter, simpler, and the game itself is much shorter than the Geralt story. Horizon: Zero Dawn is a great start to a new gaming brand. Guerrilla Games have shown that they are not afraid of challenges and can create not only beautiful, but also interesting and consistent universe. To my full happiness, I only lacked a more serious approach to the study of dialogues. I have written about polonization. There is no tragedy, but what happens in all the tasks and side missions in this class of games should not happen.    … Expand

Saying that, I haven't had this much fun playing an open world game since Red Dead Redemption; yes this game is that good to me. Graphically this game is without a doubt the best looking open world game in the history of gaming, the bar has been set by Guerrilla Games, Gameplay wise, it is a perfect` 10/10 to me. Hunting robot dinosaurs with bows are exhilarating and rewarding, when you killed over 100 of the bottom dweller enemies and still feel a sense of excitement everytime you blast the suckers in their eyes? that is how you know you are playing an masterpiece. The robot dinosaur are crafted with care and precision to the equivalent of Overwatch's cast of heroes, they are truly that unique and different. It never gets old targeting an enemies weak spot and watching it get detached; no longer able to use that weapon.. but wait it gets better you can even shoot out their weapon and use it on THEM! how mind blowingly amazing is that? The challenge of the game is also just right, 45 hours in, it never gets old just killing the dinosaurs and watching different swarm of enemies hone in on you. Now the story holds its own and is very interesting (cool concept), and most importantly very original. I liked Aloy, and the supporting cast was very well written and acted; different personalities everywhere. The only negatives which didn't impact my enjoyment at all was that some side quests were bland, and a perk that broke the immersion for me (you whistle). The human A.I was questionable, but the machine's A.I was great. Now what I don't understand is why are people bashing this game for it's lack of originality? Yes, it takes aspects from other games, but it refines it to make it original/fun and fresh. For example, I never said "wow I wished there was more buildings I could scale to uncover more of the map when I first played Assasins Creed"; but I definately said I wished there were more Tallnecks to scale, more cauldrons to uncover, etc! Bottomline this game is a 10/10 for me, a must buy, a masterpiece, etc. I understand not everyone is going to like this game, but I will leave this statement here to help people out. If you like the reboot of tomb raider (2013, 2015) and/or the witcher 3, then you will like this game...You might not like it as much but even then it would be classified as an great game.. alas there is a higher probability you will like this game more than the previous two.

    I'm loving this game the more I play it. At first, I found that it was quite repetitive in the first couple of hours since I didn't see any variation with weapons and combat. Once I expanded my arsenal and started exploring alot more, I started becoming more and more hooked.

    What I love:
    Gorgeous open world - It's huge and begging to be explored.

    Memorable landmarks
    .
    Interesting characters - great back stories and Aloy's personality is just awesome. She will most certainly be one of playstations memorable characters alongside Nathan Drake etc.

    Amazing graphics - just..jawdropping. On par with high end pc graphics actually.

    Plenty of content - So many quests to do, collectables to find and places to discover and plenty of headshots on bandits as you take over their camps.

    Framerate stability - Yes thats right. A game so powerful at a stable 30 fps. Even on a standard ps4. Weather conditions may reduce it at times but nothing unplayable.

    Variety of enemies - each enemy (especially the machines) require a different approach and tactic to bring them down and have their weaknesses/strengths which force you to change weapons as you progress. They are not as easy as you may think, and its so rewarding once you beat them.

    A broad skill tree - Choose how you want to play and what you think will benefit you the most at your current progress.

    What I don't love:

    Climbing - Times where you think you can just hoist yourself up on a ledge, you cant. It just creates a lot of awkward jumping and depending on the area it can be frustrating to move around or even evade enemies. You can only scale cliff faces and objects that are bright yellow as an indication that you can climb it. I'm just confused why this wasn't factored in during development.

    Detection from enemies - I know some of them can spot you in tall grass by design, but what annoys me is once you trigger an explosion on a machine, they know where you are automatically eventhough you're hiding far away on a mountain shooting a fire arrow.

    Early game repetition - This was a big thing as it nearly ruined the game for me. After a couple of hours, the combat and quests feel the same and the lack of weapons don't do the game justice. That is until you start unlocking things which then its a different story.

    The repetition part is probably the biggest impact out of the negatives. But as soon as you start discovering more, learning what else you can do and expanding your arsenal, it turns into one of the most incredible games you will play in a long time. Do not miss out on this game if you love all or any of the games out of Far Cry, The Witcher, Monster Hunter and Tomb Raider.
    The moment you feel its becoming the same each mission and battle, just keep going. I felt like I needed to emphasise this. It starts off good, gets a bit weak then progresses stronger than ever. There is plenty to do and apparently its an easy platinum trophy!

    Just get this game :)

    Amazing to see Guerrilla Games get their due. They took a chance to branch away from their amazing Killzone series and it has paid. Horizon Zero Dawn is not only has an extremely beautiful game world. But the story line. At least in my opinion is well crafted and keeps the player engaged and wanting to learn more about Alloy and the world around her.

    Horizon Zero Dawn is a very solid game that combines action, tactics and RPG and it feels like it borrows mechanics from some of the best contemporary games like Uncharted, Tomb Raider reboot or Metal Gear Solid V. The combat mechanics are some of the best I’ve played and using the bow and arrows is really enjoyable. From the graphics perspective it’s just perfect.

The aesthetics of combining a primitive world with futuristic machines looks really cool and the graphics blow me away! The game makes you feel you are all the time inside a picture and it’s actually a nice feature they included a very complete photo mode.

    The game has some flaws too, like the fact that I didn’t really feel very connected to the characters and story. This might be due to the bad “acting” (both facial expressions and voices look artificial) or the lack of interaction with people and towns.    … 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.

    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.
