    Sadly another game where the main female character suddenly turn gay. Not everything must have that kind of representation. Put me right off the game. Quit as soon as the flirting started. Shame too, I like this series.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sorry, i just want to ask

    Where is the chemistry between Seyka and Aloy??
    All I can remember is Seyka whined and whined.
    then they are meant for each other?

    Seriously this series has a lot of potential to be epic.
    for those who want to indoctrinate us for the politic correct BS.
    I feel sorry for other development members,
    they gave their best efforts in this project.

    I simply want to play a game!

    An unnecessary expansion that ruined the personality of certain characters, besides that, is extremely repetitive and doesn't justify being exclusive to PS5.

    The first game was ok, but it shows that they changed the writer, all the dlc doesn't make sense, Aloy instead of improving, seems out of character. The missions are poorly scripted.

    Regardless of the whole “romance” thing this DLC really disappointed me. It’s way to short, with not enough to do. Exploration is fairly tedious on foot or by boat making travelling by air the only sensible option.

    Not enough interesting NPC’s or side quests and everything is rather samey. There is one big set piece which may have seemed cool on paper, but it just doesn’t work. Too hard

    There is one big set piece which may have seemed cool on paper, but it just doesn’t work. Too hard to see what’s going on on what you need to do which then dissolves into a rather lame and unoriginal way to beat big bad.

    The first Horizon game was amazing, 9/10 for that one, Forbidden West, 6/10.

    This DLC 2/10. It’s not worth the asking price. Wait for a discount or sale.

    Note: This review is about my personal experience of playing burning shores. I understand and respect that other players will find Aloy's romance arc to be just what they personally needed or other players who only care about game play and pay little attention to the story.

    Note: This review is about my personal experience of playing burning shores. I understand and respect that other players will find Aloy's romance arc to be just what they personally needed or other players who only care about game play and pay little attention to the story.

    For me, Horizon is Aloy's story first and a gorgeous game second. A deep personal tale about an orphaned girl rising to save the world. So I am very invested into her character. After original indications by the writers that Aloy was 'too busy saving the world' to have a romantic interest, she now apparently has time for romance as an LGBTQ character. While this may satisfy a segment of the gaming population and be indifferent to another, it strongly alienates another segment of the player base who have seen her as a straight woman. She also had interest in male characters as she did not shut down Avad's approaches and instead also delayed them to be addressed in the future.

    I sincerely hope that Guerrilla games has respect for gamers that differ with this profound character narrative and provide a choice for Aloy to chose building a relationship with a male character in HZ 3.
    The Witcher series did a marvelous job of this in the Triss / Yennifer choice and there is no reason not to allow player agency in this aspect of Aloy's story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game is stunning but there is one thing that ruines it entirely. If you would try to create a damn relationship that would go from the very beginning of the franchise or at least beginning of second game, we would understand. But adding such FORCED relationship, on top of that the most blend boring disgustingly Bad character, that does not deserve Aloy. Feels like you have people who have some unfulfilled desires in guerrila games and they take it out on a game by absolutely ruining it! guerrillagames you brought so much disappointment by this.

    You gave the responsible role of plot writting to a young and inexperienced, talentless writer who nearly ruined the entire franchise. A character like Aloy cant have such an abomination by her side.

    But, if you want a little more of Horizon, within the theme of history that has been built over the years (Zero Dawn, Frozen Wilds, Forbidden West), within the history of technology, science fiction, it is not worth the value of this DLC. Because there isn't much significant to the story.

    These are two relevant points. I'm not saying which one is right. But it's important that you know what you want when you decide to buy.

It was horribly written and obviously thrown in for American political reasons. It's such a shame this keeps happening.
    I'm part of the lgbtq community, and even I was starting to feel weird about how there are very few honorable male characters, and how there are so many lesbian characters. So, many side quests had lesbian characters. It's not even representational of life.
    Then the ending seriously threw me off, cause it just felt so out of place. There was no real story development for that love scene in the end. It seriously felt like they just threw it in to make 'woke' quota deadlines. if the 'woke' crap was just better written it would be so much more accepted, but at this point, it's really becoming a problem in ruining the art of storytelling. I can't wait for this ridiculous fad to end. Unfortunately, so many of the stories we hold so dear will be ruined by the time that happens.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The weakest Horizon game/addition to date. The world of Burning Shores, which is meant to be post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, is bland and (except for the excellently modeled) lava flows, it is frankly boring and doesn't feel much different to post-apocalyptic San Francisco. The Hollywood sign only gets a passing mention. The new machines offer little dynamic gameplay (the mosquitoes are frankly just annoying), the waterwing is just a gimmick. Unfortunately, the new land mass also doesn't directly add the main landmass. It is also a small world with a lot of open water and only some islands, which don't offer any tallnecks.

    Gameplay itself never manages to capture the player. The storyline is generic, the villain is generic, and overall, the narratives seem like we've seen them before in the Horizon world, and not just once. Aloy meets a random Quen woman called Seyka who, being an outsider, has a similar background to herself - a storyline that has already been explored with at least Beta and Talanah - and is tasked with the most straightforward unimaginative quests ever - save the world with her, this time from nuclear poisoning, by stopping the eccentric last surviving Zenith guy (who doesn't get much of a character either) from escaping with his space shuttle.

    The new weapons offer little excitement - even the Zenith weapon - and the search for Brimglow is boring and exhausting. While Frozen Wilds hat a clever way of explaining why Bluegleam is what and where it is, Brimglow just sits there and never gets any kind of background.

    The OG Horizon characters play no role at all, as we are only forced into mainly interacting with Seyka - a shame mainly with regards to Beta, who is finally free from the Zeniths and now just somehow sits at home, even though Aloy keeps referencing how important she is to her. It is here where we get to the most controversial point, the Seyka romance. This would always be controversial, because some people straight up dislike LGBTQ+, and even more people probably dislike the fact that this topic is presented to them over and over again in games. Others might not like it because people were comfortable with Aloy being asexual, a sexual orientation that gets little exposure overall. Others may dislike it because they had hopes for Erend, Talanah, or other people. Others dislike it because the lesbian/gay character arc is already old news to Horizon players, with both Tilda and Elizabeth Sobeck (and also Petra Forgewoman, Brageld and Janeva) being openly gay - Tilda even being openly gay towards Aloy, which Aloy didn't tap into (in the main game).

    I dislike it because it is completely out of character and also misplaced such a short DLC. If Aloy needs a romance storyline (imo she doesn't), it should be put in the third main game, and here, with options that are more viable and deep. Players are humans, and most people I talked to have explained that Aloy and Seyka just don't vibe together. Aloy behaves like a teenager at some points (something she never does) over a character she's barely done one mission with and barely had any time to bond. How the Seyka thing will play into Horizon III also remains a mystery - especially for players who didn't buy the DLC. It kinda cuts off other romance options.

    The pricing is probably a bit too high as well, Horizon players may still want this, but buy it when it's on sale.

    Hello guys, that is my first review and what i thing about the Forbidden West and this DLC:

    From good things: Not a lot of bugs like CyberPank 2077 Nice graphics Good availability to continue Forbidden West jorney for some hours And unfortunotely the bigger list of minuses: The game developers seem to prioritize critics over players, leading to slow gameplay and pointless
    Hello guys, that is my first review and what i thing about the Forbidden West and this DLC:

    From good things:

    Not a lot of bugs like CyberPank 2077
    Nice graphics
    Good availability to continue Forbidden West jorney for some hours

    And unfortunotely the bigger list of minuses:

    The game developers seem to prioritize critics over players, leading to slow gameplay and pointless dialogues.
    My favourite sharpshot bows from Zero Dawn became useless and crafting arrows is now a time-consuming and expensive process, and the low inventory capacity for arrow resources is a significant issue for me to receive nice and dynamic adventure.
    The rarity system in the game is lacking, with orange chests often containing expensive trash instead of rare ones. Developers must improve the system.
    Despite introducing new characters, the game developers have not done enough to bring in new machines, resulting in the game's new machines being subpar.
    Looks loke Metacritic is accused of removing or editing posts. Such unethical practices need to be eradicated from the gaming industry and fully missmatched with freedom of reviews and comments
    Side quests looks boaring and archievements are very casual, and not so hard to get Platinum.
    Only for PS5 - so if your have PS4, you need to buy a new console or ask it from your friends.
    Nothing special in DLC for a such price, I think this DLC should be free for Forbidden West owners

    Also cancelled my PS Plus subscription, bacause don't want to be a sponsore of this game types in future.

    There’s just not enough content for the price. The new ‘good’ character is lame and boring. All the new male characters are jerks. The main quest can be completed in a short few hours. Combat is the same. I think I’ll skip the third game.

    Mostly good DLC. I wish Aloy could solo most/almost all main quests. I've never appreciated having a follower in these types of games. The dialogue between Aloy and Seyka is cringy. Aloy also seemed like a completely different person than in the first two games. I'd appreciate if these big companies would stop putting political messaging in their games.

    Beautiful world with fun fight mechanics and huge robotic dinosaurs that you can hunt. What can go wrong, right?
    Well, Aloy is probably the most unlikable main character I can think of. But as I previously said game is beautiful to look at.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The forbidden west and zero dawn are literally 2 of my favorite games of all time. The dlc the frozen wilds was the best dlc ive ever played for any game other then maybe blood and wine. But the burning shores was just not good. The gameplay i thought was good enough very challedging on ultra hard, but the story ecspecially the romace crap with seika just was horrible. Why games keep doing this crap is beyond me but i swear every single game now they have to make the character gay. Like 1 out of 1000 people are gay if that. Yet video game makeers must all be the 1 in a 1000 because its every damn game now. People who are not gay dont relate to gay romance no matter how much these people may want us to. Everyone was hoping alloy would end up with errand or sinlense or varl or katallo and hell if you had to go this route then you could have atleast had her with tallana. Alloy barely knkws seika and yet she is acting like she is so worried what she is thinking when alloy never gave a crap what anyone ever thought. Guerilla rolled the dice and lost on this. I hope they learned a lesson. Expand

    I really enjoyed the first 2 games, I can almost say this is one of my favourite PS5 games. I even bought the special edition of Horizon Forbidden West on the release date. I haven't yet finished the game just yet, was going to get this new DLC and the long neck lego set. After seeing this clip of romance, it felt like this game got a real bad treatment it doesn't deserve.

In my opinion, the developer really should inject a narrative that will obviously creates more social issues, and divide people. In the end, the only victims are those gamers like myself who really loves the game. I think the developer really didn't think through and made a decision that may destroy an icon that they have put their heart and soul in building for many many years. Expand

    A personagem teve uma historia bem construída, cativante, sem nenhuma explicação a empresa resolve lançar um tema que ninguém está interessado em ver nos jogos. Quem quiser historia de amor, romance assiste filmes, series e etc. Lamentável o que está se tornando a indústria dos games, palco para uma agenda de um publico que notoriamente é minoria no planeta.

    Terribly sad and tragic what Guerilla has done. They practically forced this DLC down into the story in an untimely and rushed manner. I really liked the idea of Aloy being a single woman who didn't love anyone romantically. Who was just trying to save the world from its doom by herself.

They used such a minor character that we have just learned about for her to fall in love with rather than someone who everyone has known for ages, like Erend and Sun King Avad. They should have made the romance optional. I'm hoping the next game they don't continue this nonsense and shove unneeded romance to the game. I pray they will make romance optional and change the story based off of if we want it or not. Expand

    "Burning Shores" é um simulador de degeneração. Motiva e defende actos degenerados, completamente contra a Natureza. Obviamente, através da teleologia de forma fácil racionalmente reconhecemos que tais actos são contra a Natureza. Algo ir contra a sua biologia e natureza de ser é intrinssicamente contra a Natureza; estar-se-ia a desrespeitar a Deus, a Criação, a Metafísica, e a Natureza.

    I loved Forbidden West. It was such a well done game so I had pretty high expectations. From the get go it seemed that Ally’s character was completely different in and her dialogue reflected a lack of skill and effort. It just felt like they slapped a lot of this one together as it wasn’t half as deep or immersive as forbidden west. Very shallow.

    I recently played all Horizon series, including this DLC and I must say that I was impressed by the stunning graphics and the vast, beautiful open world. However, I was disappointed with the boring storyline, very boring gameplay, and ending, which included some same-sex love that didn't resonate with me personally.

    To short, waste of money, also what they did with the Mc is a disgrace, this should never have happened. It makes no sense since in the first game the indications are really on the other side.

    Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores is visually the best game I have ever played, and in terms of gameplay, it is enjoyable for me, although it may not be for everyone. But the story is the biggest weakness of the game, and I don’t think the story will be great in Someone’s opinion and it may just be the difference between those who say it’s mid and those who say it’s bad. But in different ways, this game completely shows off the power of the 9th generation console.

    Burning Shores is definitely worth a visit. The story builds nicely, the side quests have nice depth, and Aloy and Seyka may end up forming something more than just a friendship. The question is whether a little more content could have been added. After all, it's all stuff we've seen before. [Issue#327]

    Seyka is a welcome addition to Aloy’s allies. However the DLC shows no intention of escaping the science fantasy nonsense the base game mired itself in. [Issue#28, p.88]
