    Beautiful DLC! It really builds on Forbidden West itself but most importantly it creates an emotional story for Aloy. Definitely a solid entry raising anticipation levels for future Horizon games.

    Pochodzę z kraju gdzie cenzura wykorzystywana była do utrzymywania władzy przez kilkadziesiąt lat,teraz spotkało mnie to na Metacritic. Takie podejście spowodowało że usunołem wszystkie gry z Guerrilla i już więcej ich gier nie kupię a moich oczach Metacritic stracił na rzetelności.

    Actual review of the DLC : Baring some bugs, it's rock solid.

    If you like the series, this is definitely in the category of "more of the same", it doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it does add some character development for Aloy, new weapons, new robots, new interesting side characters (and a couple of welcome returns).

I still love shooting arrows at mechanical dinos. The villain was a bit one note - and the story is pretty basic (stop the bad guy) but as a little excursion into a gorgeous destroyed LA, I really enjoyed it.

    I did have some issues with pop-in, a story NPC getting stuck and having to restart, little gameplay glitches, but honestly, it really didn't matter all that much.

    Did you like HZD and HFW? You'll like this.

    *looks at user reviews* okay so, most of you reviewing haven't actually played this and clearly didn't catch any of the subtext in the previous games (gee, the butch survivor/hunter woman from a matriarchal society, who has shown disgust at men's advances, who is cloned from a woman that likes women...likes women. Shocker.)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story was ok, and the new weapons and areas were nice, but I think Seyka was really annoying. I like Aloy because she doesn't try to show off. I always had the feeling that Seyka was trying to prove something. Overall the dlc was good, but the LGBT-agenda doesn't have to be rubbed into everyone's face. It's a video game, not politics. I still really like Aloy, no matter her sexuality, but I think they took the queer relationship more seriously than the actual story. I've always seen Aloy as someone who doesn't really care about romantic relationships, so it felt kinda forced. The main story was definitely worse than the base game, but the cool environment made up for it. I would say that the dlc is worth the 20 bucks if the LGBTQ-stuff doesn't bother you.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I bought a PS5 specifically for this DLC and I was 200% satisfied. It's a gorgeous game, the fighting dynamics are leveled up from the main game, the music is delightful. I loved Seyka and was surprised and ecstatic about her flirtation with Aloy. Haters gonna hate, but I. AM. HERE. FOR. IT.

    I decided to start a new game + the week before the DLC dropped after having just finished HZD and what really stood out for me jumping from HZD into HFW is how sad and angry and lonely Aloy is. I usually choose the heart option when given a choice but on my game+ I opted for head or fist. She's much sharper in HFW and as the player I felt the weight of her journey much more than I did my first playthrough.

    I set the game+ playthrough aside when the DLC landed and to see her be so much softer and be able to speak with more empathy (with multiple NPC not just Seyka), and then in the end scene, with any choice, to be able to articulate the burden of her future, her newness to emotional connections, and her precious panic the whole DLC over her realizing she has feelings for Seyka and doesn't know how to handle them...... THIS is the character development that I've spend 200+ hours per game building. THIS is how you grow a protagonist.

    Haters are going to grump because she has feelings for a woman. Yes, she does. Did you play the original game? She was obsessed with Elizabet (yes as a mother figure, but there was more). She had connections with Petra and with Tahalana. She had NO chemistry with Nil or Avad.

    I can see where the shippers come from with Katalo and Errend, but in replaying both games, Aloy is rarely in physical contact with a NPC and the times she is, especially casually vs recovering from a fight/run/evade, are almost always with other women.

    It's kind of subtext that Beta and Tilda had something going on between them, and it's confirmed canon that Liz and Tilda were a couple. I'm not going to argue here if queerness is biological BUT IF I WERE --- HELLO SOBECK FAM.

    tl;dr - I loved the game, every part of it. I am so excited to replay it, and I think it provided a brighter ending to the game as a whole. I can't wait for the third game. If anyone important is reading this -- more Petra please!    … Expand

To the execs at Sony and their First Party Studios (if you're reading this), I hope that the established sexual orientations of characters like Peter Parker, Kratos, and Nathan Drake will be respected and kept intact, not only because it's an important aspect of their identities, but also because it contributes to representation and diversity in gaming.

Pathetic. Another product bombed by a dozen snowflake incels. I have never seen such an easily triggered group of subhumans as these losers. It came down to one line. Also, it was slowly made very clear how Aloy identified (most likely bi but not actively looking for romance), if it’s a shock, you’re just a moron. You can even turn down the new girl and they won’t kiss, also there was a romantic line option with the Sun King at the very beginning of the game.

    So then, these triggered idiots are crying about a nonissue since Aloy is meant to be open and fluid, not a locked in lesbian.

    The best part is when they have no idea what the product even is since it’s just penniless trolls usually. The bit about the Japanese was my fav part (the devs are English), like every videogame is made in japan LMAO.

    As for the game itself, it’s probably an 8, losing points for not having a ton of content especially with the main story. Also, to those whining about it not being on PS4 - it’s been THREE YEARS. How much longer do we have to cater to an old gen? Did SNES games play on NES?    … Expand

    But the main problem is the story. One more time we have an eccentric Zenith “a la CEO/Ted Faro” enemy (by the way a white man, again). Honestly it’s a lazy job regardless of how to tell a story. Sony/Guerrila need to think better about the direction of this franchise.

    The DLC lacks even more options than the base game when it comes to variety in weapons, armor and freedom in exploration, it's more of the same.

    That game it's just rubish. The price you pay for a short content, with a character tha doesn't evolve from the first game, it's not worth it.

    An excellent continuation of what is already an amazing game. It's a shame the user scores are being brigaded by incels. Bottom line is, if you enjoyed Horizon: FW you'll enjoy this DLC.

I know that happened before in gemini etc but now it's different and turns out that she's her love interest making obvious that Aloy is queer, something that all of us knew but now everyone seems skocked idk why. I'm hoping to see Seyka in Horizon 3. Besides all of that the graphics are even better (something that I thought impossible after Horizon Forbidden West) so you can just walk around the map taking pictures with Aloy and enjoy the view… Expand

    For 20$, not worth it at all. So short that you will be in shock how short it is compering it with the other DLC from the first game. Sony & Guerilla you all should think very careful for part 3 if you want the money, just saying. I love the First and second game and the dlc from the first game but this hell no. Be careful.

    Great addition to the main game. Only losers who want every single video game catered to their own experiences are rating it negatively. Snowflakes who can't handle the fact that other people besides them exist. It's great to see Aloy grow even more from the main game.

    The gameplay itself is fine, lets be real this is a DLC and if you are here to review or read reviews for Horizon you probably already like the game. It gives you more of the same stuff, combat is crisp, exploration is about average and visuals are pretty good. As a gameplay offering this DLC is good, not exceptional but definitely better than what most other companies do.

    I would give it higher score, but then I remember that Horizon is very much about the story and the story here is boring and the romance is forced. I am old enough to remember when we complained that romances in Baldur's Gate 2 were too basic, the romance in this game reads like a poorly written visual novel a horny teenager concocted with the help of ChatGPT. The story itself is a skeleton of ideas rather than a polished narrative, it fails to deliver a fleshed out antagonist too.

    Burning Shores should have been part of the next game and given the proper amount of content and polish. It's way too short for what it's trying to achieve.    … Expand

    While the story is is not all that great (just my subjective view, i am not a narration expert), it still plays out nicely. The real the focus of the expansion is giving us a more exploratory experience. And on that regard its a full package. Exploration has gone vom horizontal to vertical and has never felt that interesting and rewarding in the horizon world before. From the heavens to the dept of the ocean. Even Aloy got some verticality to her character. Which imho, is a nice change of pace, and something is personally would love to see more.

    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]
