    The perfect next chapter in Aloy’s story, Burning Shores embodies what DLC should be. Featuring epic battles, new foes, and a whole lot of heart, it expands the world of Horizon in every way.

    A great return of Aloy. Going back to the world of Horizon Forbidden West is wonderful. Surprisingly, the story told by Burning Shores is quite important and a prequel for a potential Horizon 3. Graphics are stunning. One of the most impressive games nowadays.

    Burning Shores is every bit the continuation of Horizon Forbidden West. It builds on the great gameplay of the base game with a few new wrinkles, introduces a watery world and the ability to dive into it, and moves the story downfield a few yards as Aloy and her allies, old and new, prepare for what comes next. You won't be lost having missed out on this DLC when the next full game does arrive, but you would have missed an opportunity for hours of fun in an excellent world that is worth the time of any Horizon fan.

    Burning Shores' price of admission is practically worth it for the culminating boss fight alone. Although the expansion's pace doesn't allow for a steady crescendo to the climactic battle, it is hands down the most impressive and exhilarating set piece Horizon has accomplished thus far. Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores may be unfortunately short, but it's nonetheless sweet, and its technical accomplishments tantalizingly set high expectations for Guerrilla Games' third entry in the series.

    Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores may be more Horizon, but if that’s what you’re looking for, then you’ll be very happy with this new content. With an excellent story, interesting new characters, awesome new weapons, and enemies, as well as some of the most exciting sequences in the entire game, Burning Shores makes Forbidden West an even stronger experience than it already was.

    Horizon Forbidden West is another dose of goodness for those who can't get enough of it, but unfortunately it's too short.

    The most significant addition is Quen marine Seyka, with whom Aloy forms a bond that goes beyond friendship. Yet the two fight more often than they flirt, and the need to either level or stock up between story missions means they don't spend enough time together for the would-be emotional climax to fully land. [Issue#385, p.120]

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the game, how they introduced the character of Seyka and made us love this character. The connection between Aloy and Seyka was amazing and I loved that the ending had options. The only bad thing is that it is only for Ps5 and the economy of many does not allow us to buy it. But putting that aside, this game is great and doesn't deserve the homophobic reviews it's getting. Expand

    One of the best DLC. Graphics looks amazing on the PS5 with 60FPS Performance. Guerrilla has done it again with this masterpieces game. 10/10 for me

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ебучие западные извращенцы везде суют свою повесточку. Сосали ли бы молча хуи и радовались. Но нет же блядь, всех надо сделать пидорасами и лесбиянками. Недавно с трудом прошел ласт оф ас 2, хотелось просто рыгать. Во время сцен лесбийской любви тупо смотрел видосики на смартфоне. Заебался ждать конца. Тут такую же хуйню вставили. Да ебитесь вы там хоть с животными, конченые. Нахуя трубить ото всюду об этом?! Сама игра неплоха, доработали механики и в целом я в восторге, бесит только сюжет. Expand

    Avez-vous vraiment relâché cette déception après de grands jeux comme zéro aube ou ouest interdit ?
    C'est littéralement votre pire création,
    Avez-vous vraiment relâché cette déception après de grands jeux comme zéro aube ou ouest interdit ?
    C'est littéralement votre pire création, outre le fait que le DLC à 20 euros n'apporte vraiment rien de nouveau au jeu et à l'intrigue, vous avez donc réussi à fourrer ici aussi un sujet LGBT "très important" aujourd'hui.
    Cette ligne d'amour n'ajoute rien à la tradition ou à l'intrigue du jeu, car la supprimer ne changera rien pour la plupart.
    Mannequin lgbt, et même pour 20 euros.
    Je ne recommande pas d'acheter!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Didn’t enjoy having a relationship shoved in my face throughout the ENTIRE dlc! Not to mention with some random girl we have zero connection to! Every flirting scene between them is unbearably cringey and awkward. Idc that Aloy is gay, but at least make her gay with someone we CARE ABOUT! What about Alva or Zo? At least we have a connection to Alva and Zo and they actually serve important stuff to the main story! We have no connection to Seyka and she serves next to no importance in the dlc. And why didn’t we contact Alva at all during the dlc!? She is part of the Quen so what the hell?! Thsi dlc threw commons ense out the window and was made to cater towards a totally different audience. No surprising the dlc is getting negativity. And personally it’s a 0/10. I want my refund.
