    This DLC was a complete disappointment except for the final boss battle. Unlike Frozen Wilds, Burning Shores neither adds much value to the main story nor tells an interesting story of its own. Also, enough with the LGBT stuff really, this is just too much.

    Gameplay is very repetitive! Game developers need to stop focusing only on graphics and try to bring something more fun to the fans without counting the controversy.

    No considera los intereses de los fans del juego, dandole demasiado énfasis a ideologías. A nivel técnico es bueno pero el contenido de la historia deja mucho que desear.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The greatest graphics of our generation, hands down, but...
    The Seika character is absolutely useless. If Guerrilla wanted to make a romantic party for Aloy the obvious choice would be Erend. When he met Aloy he was basically a clumsy child and she made him a better man in every way. That's a full journey of self-development. But if the studio was firm on going with the direction they went, the logical choice would have to be Talanah. Not only she's from the "same world" as Aloy, but they also shared many quests together, building a nice background for both. I mean... Seika just get in. And by the way, not to be a biggot, but how the Qen tribe even survives? Basically every woman they introduced from that tribe is a lesbian. Alva, the two captains (forgot their names, sorry...), and now Seika. I mean, I can't be the only one who thinks it's too much, right?
    I really hope we saw the last of Seika. She's a girl warrior, just like Aloy herself, Talanah and even Zo, so let's be honest, Seika adds up nothing to the story, and I'm having issues with a character introduced in a DLC, with a handful of missions, with this much protagonism. A little bit much...

    In Forbidden West, she discovers that she needs people by her side, as she realizes she cannot achieve her goals without firm alliances, so she leaves the lonely exiled warrior behind and begins to allow people to enter her life.

    But now, Guerrilla, since the next step you want in Aloy's development is 'romance', Aloy's relationship with another character, you better build into Aloy's story a way for players to choose who she's going to be with relate, or with a man, or with a woman, or remain without any relationship. Don't just stick to romance with Seyka, include a male character as an option and let the players choose. This same-sex relationship privileged and pleased only one side, a specific audience.
    This has generated enough controversy, caused a lot of disappointment and discussions, it's time to make some change. It's not just any build that players expect to see from Aloy.

    Otherwise, you can ruin such a beautiful game and character, as many people did not sympathize with the way this construction of the character Aloy was done, which only pleased a minority and not all players.

    Because of that, my rating is 4!    … Expand

Pros: + More Horizon FW. + Improved foliage and cloud graphics. + New machine type. + New weapons and Quen armor. + Elite Weaves and Coils open up more options for legendary armors/weapons. Cons: - Short. 10 hours to 100% completion on New Game+ (Hard difficulty). - The antagonist was groan-worthy at best. - New valor surges and a lot of the added skills are pretty meh. - The hyped up added Zenith weapon is really weak compared to upgraded legendary weapons. - Too many collections padding out the playtime, not enough world building side quests. - Very little about Los Angeles really stood out. - No Tallneck for the region. - The Waterwing was pointless. Its functionality was needed for ONE quest, after that it was just a gimmick. - The skiff and the geysers were neat additions but pointless since we could fly over everything. - The DLC added a lot of graphical issues: Texture and shadow pop-in, texture glitches, lighting oddities. - Most of the music was recycled from the base game. - Erend, Zo, Alva, and Kotello were removed from their post-game locations and replaced with text "notes". - The relationship angle was hurried and felt forced. I don't care about the lesbian angle at all, but after two games of brushing off romantic interests, Aloy develops romantic feelings for someone she just meets and spends a couple days with? Simply because she reminds her of herself? It's bad writing, that's my problem with it. Overall, felt it was step below the base game and a major step below The Frozen Wilds DLC for original Horizon Zero Dawn. Unlikely I'll ever play this again as I've already exhausted everything there is to see and do. Collapse… Expand

    Not releasing a DLC with all platforms the main game was initially released for is kind of stupid, I get it if they did not release a third installment in the franchise to PS4 Pro but a DLC.

    This is only because of $$$ and to get some PS5 sold, I will pirate the game when it's released on PC.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Horizon needs a course correction. Where is the original writer? The first game blew my mind it was so good. Now the LGBTQ agenda is pushed so hard it’s ridiculous. And no, I’m not just talking about the optional kiss in this DLC. No matter your choice, Aloy being lesbian is still strongly hinted in other cut scenes so the writers are telling us what is canon. Go sit with Varl after you choose “This is too much for me” for example. It’s clear that there is no real choice. Was it so hard to predict that this spoon-feeding would not sit well with a lot of people?

    This started in The Forbidden West already, easily half of the inhabitants are gay or portrayed so. You could be forgiven for thinking more or less all men are homosexual in the game. It’s overrepresentation if anything. Men are generally weak and women are warriors telling men what to do. I think most people don’t mind representation or strong women, but Guerrilla is doing a deliberate inversion where such minorities are majorities, this is woke defined. Remember, The forbidden west was supposed to be an extremely dangerous place, the tribes absolutely menacing. Who believes that the LGBTQ crowd is the most aggressive and violent kind out there? It’s just forced storytelling. Stop the pandering and focus on the world class story you kicked off in the first game. I have played both games and the DLCs from day one of release. Sad to say I don’t feel like doing so when the third game comes.    … Expand

    Kinda short and not on PS4. Performance dips and a janky boss fight. Not on par with the Blood and Wine DLC. And set on the west coast, be prepared for west coast politics and agendas.

    Why filling agenda inside a game that created to play & have fun!!. Why! I'm not obligated to see or follow agenda by force in game which I have decided to play, Are u trying to follow up the path of Naughtydog or what!? after I had tried this extension. I will stop play the sequel for sure and even any game from this studia.

    I seriously dislike how they abandoned the role play elements of this game and made a forced relationship that very few people wanted. Honestly, it should have been more like the recent assassin Creed games where you can choose your own romance options.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Disappointed there are no other options for romance for Aloy. I feel like the series thus far has been trying to illustrate how Aloy is her own person apart from Elizabet, but making her also lesbian takes away from that notion. I also find it frustrating that they decided to introduce the romance subplot for Aloy in a DLC with a brand new character, of all things. If they wanted to broach romance for Aloy, it would have made more sense to do so in the next game, where the player has multiple character options or can choose to avoid romance altogether.… Expand

    this DLC is just very poorly done.. the story is outrageously bad and it doesn't add anything interesting to the series whatsoever.
    since Guerilla insists on going the political correctness route, I for one am not interested in the future of this franchise. I'll never buy anything they develop again..

    Thankfully, us action/adventure fans still have the Legend of Zelda.

    It is perplexing to see such a reputable brand like Sony and its creative teams attempting to impose their own perspectives and beliefs onto the characters and storylines. This approach has led to a disjointed and unconvincing narrative that fails to resonate with the audience.
    Moving forward, Sony must reconsider their creative direction, especially if they wish to maintain its esteemed reputation. If they continue to enforce their worldview onto the characters and story, they risk alienating their audience and damaging their brand image. The consequences of such actions could be severe, with potential long-term implications for the company's success in the entertainment industry.    … Expand

    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]
