    Amazing game, beautiful to look at and an absolute overhaul of its predecessor. Best next gen game so far, nothing you can fund on any other console. Side missions aren’t meaningless anymore and the story it’s excellent paced. A must own game!

    Undoubtedly the best game that I've ever played. The level of detail and design makes it a perfect game for me. Everything screams quality. Grapichs, music, design, combat, gameplay, story, and a lot more. This is truly a masterpiece.

    Forbidden West is quite a large upgrade from the original, they’ve made improvements on just about every area where I had concern from its predecessor. Scanning and climbing is much better, melee combat is a blast once you’ve gotten enough upgrades and the story is much better. I felt with Zero Dawn the side quests kind of felt lazy and poorly acted, where Forbidden Wests side quests actually have me interested, and the acting is MUCH improved.

    I have had zero bugs so far, (I’m 14 hours in) quite impressive for an open world game


    If you enjoyed Zero Dawn, definitely recommended. Please do not trust a lot of the reviews here with extremely low ratings, they make no sense whatsoever

Other than that, this game is absolutely fantastic and would recommend to anyone even halfway interested in open-world adventures. The performances are life-like and interesting, the world feels alive and lived-in, and guarantees hours upon hours of exploration content. The map is dense and the characters have depth, the combat system is massively improved from the first game, and feels strategic and fun. The graphics are incredible, easily making it one of the best looking games in recent memory, I would even go as far to say it surpasses Red Dead Redemption 2. Wether you’re a massive Xbox fan, a Nintendo buddy, a PC player, or already own a PlayStation, I cannot recommend this game enough. A must-have, in my opinion. Expand

    Once you get pass the very first section of the game all the changes become very clear. The game is beautiful like everyone mentions but its actually the tweaks, new customizations, skill trees and interactions with NPC's that do it for me - all of these have been massively improved from the first game.

    Side quests dont feel like a chore at all and are very interesting/engaging,

    Side quests dont feel like a chore at all and are very interesting/engaging, everyone that Aloy speaks to actually feels like shes speaking to them - no jerky head movements or eye pupils zigzagging everywhere, it looks natural now. Swimming feels fantastic and adds a lot more exploration, not to mention the scale of this game is massive btw, bigger than Zero Dawn.

    How you approach the gameplay is also completely up to you -

    You wanna be a stealthy assassin? ✅

    You wanna chug potions like a Witcher and withstand a beating from machines? ✅

    You wanna focus melee combat and become a spinning beyblade? ✅

    You wanna be a trapmaster and have a more strategic approach? ✅

    You wanna sit back and watch your machines cause havoc? ✅

    You wanna be a Legolas 2.0 and stack bodies with your bow? ✅

    Or become a jack of all trades, master of none.

    There will always be people that moan saying some assets are recycled from Zero Dawn - but what do you expect? Its a direct sequel! Of course some things will seem similar. If im being honest, it seems a lot harder these days to satisfy peoples needs in games - if its not Apex, COD or Fortnite they just arent interested and are quick to bash a game.

    I will adjust this review the further I get into it but for anyone contemplating buying this game - do it! so far its incredible. I play this on a PS5 and it runs super smooth with almost instant load times. Dont listen to anyone that says the graphics dont look good, they must be running it on a base ps4 with a 720p monitor because its stunning!

    La viciada que me pegué ayer y hoy no es ni medio normal. 15 horas seguidas ( y 4 cargas del dualsense) hacía tiempo que no disfrutaba tanto de un videojuego.

ALa viciada que me pegué ayer y hoy no es ni medio normal. 15 horas seguidas ( y 4 cargas del dualsense) hacía tiempo que no disfrutaba tanto de un videojuego. Horizon Zero Dawn me enamoró por su historia de ciencia ficción y Horizon Forbidden West me está enamorando por los giros argumentales y lo bonito de su mundo. Le cuesta arrancar pero una vez dentro ya no puedes parar, me encanta. A nivel técnico luce espectacular en todos los sentidos. En estas 15 horas me he encontrado con poquísimos bugs, para que os hagáis una idea una saga que me encanta es Assassin’s creed y en estos últimos la cantidad de bugs es 100 veces mayor (entendiendo la inmensidad de sus mundos abiertos) y aún así la experiencia de juego es totalmente disfrutable y jugable, bueno pues en Horizon Forbidden West la cantidad de Bugs es mínima ¿Cómo lo hace Guerrilla? Seguramente algún caza bugs encuentre los típicos en los que nadas en el suelo, atraviesas el suelo y te caes por debajo del escenario o algún objeto volando (Todos presentes en el 100% de los videojuegos) Aunque yo no me he encontrado más que con un barril volando en estas 10 horas. Está siendo una experiencia muy limpia. Las animaciones faciales son la leche, los animales, las plantas, las rocas, las partículas, el agua, el sonido ambiente. Cierto que el uso de la niebla es excesivo en muchas ocasiones donde apetecería disfrutar más del escenario, imagino que desplegar tanta potencia en cerca, penaliza de lejos, quizás un equilibrio mayor entre calidad de cerca y lejos hubiese sido más aconsejable, aunque menos impactante visualmente hablando de primeras. En cualquier caso me parece increíblemente bonito el mundo construido. Y por último ese DOBLAJE AL ESPAÑOL (España) TOP TOP. Qué maravilla contar con el trabajo de enormes profesionales del doblaje y con la fantástica Michelle Jenner doblando a Aloy. No sé en otros idiomas pero en Castellano el doblaje suma muchísimo a la experiencia final. En definitiva creo que estamos ante un título redondo en todos los apartados, imprescindible para cualquiera que tenga una consola Playstation. Mi nota no puede ser otra que un 10 bien merecido.

В Forbidden West все куда богаче: тут и Невада (с интересной новой предысторией), и затонувший в песках Лас-Вегас, и полуразрушенный Лос-Анджелес. В каком-то смысле сиквел ощущается более постапокалиптическим, чем оригинал – потому что в этот раз чаще вспоминаешь, что бегаешь по руинам нашей Земли, а не по каким-то странным сай-фай декорациям.

    The image (resolution wise) is crisp enough to be able to reveal all of those little extra details, whether those are raindrops on Aloy's face or cracks on the rock's surface. While quality mode's running great with zero to none frame drops (at least not the ones I can really notice), performance mode could have used a bit more of the developer's attention really because it looks really bad with nothing near those 1800p they claim it has. Parkour is still limited to those yellow sticky points, but the latter is much more common now.

    Forbidden Shores fits nicely with the main game with a fun, sort of self-contained story that points the way for the story to move forward even larger on the third installment while also gracing us with a fun antagonist and some long overdue affection coming Aloy's way.

    February is the most boring month of the year but while playing Forbidden West, I forget the whole world around me. Mouth wide open due to the fantastic graphics. Story line superb and side missions not just simple quests but really adding super gameplay which keeps you busy for hours. Combat even better compared to Zero Dawn.
    Easy to follow menu with skill trees, inventory, map, etc but

    Easy to follow menu with skill trees, inventory, map, etc but also lots of information about the main characters. This information gives you really the needed info about what happened in Zero Dawn.
    One negative point.. the landscape is so beautiful and this causes hours of delay while playing, simply because you want to inhale all the details.

    El juego mejoró con creces a su antecesor, el combate cuerpo a cuerpo con la variedad de combos, junto a un combate a distancia con las diferentes armas y mejoras que puedan tener. Junto a una historia que continúa una propuesta iniciada en la primera entrega, el juego se mantiene como sobresaliente.

    An excellent addition to the Horizon family. Graphics are absolutely stunning. The world is immersive with a ton of interactive NPCs and world elements. I can't get enough of it. Anyone who rated this game low is trolling. Zero glitches or issues at all. Performance mode sails and graphics mode is jaw dropping. I'll be playing this game for months to come.

    This game is great. Open world games have gotten very stale. Horizon has breathed some new life into the genre. Overall, a great game.

    The world-building and visual design is top-notch...a far cry better than any other open world game. And these elements make the interaction with the world and the combat very compelling. The machines you fight are extremely well-designed, which makes fighting them a very engaging experience. It's easy to get lost looking at the character designs, poring over all the little touches in the clothing and adornments. The story is also solid and interesting. The voice acting is quite good. The music is very good.

    There are some technical bugs. Unless you are obsessed with such things, it isn't enough of an issue to mar this otherwise solid experience. If you are going to cry about pop-in or dynamic resolution scaling, and you're incapable of appreciating the forest because you're too focused on a few trees, then look elsewhere (and maybe reevaluate how you interact with games and media).

    It's not a PERFECT game, but it is well worth it. The review-bombing is absurd. The man-babies mewling about "woke culture" and "defeminized" characters are morons. Full stop. Wasting any more effort refuting their whining isn't worthwhile at all.

The skill tree upgrades have been vastly improved since the first game and it feels like each tree has something amazing that I want to use. The graphics and performance are incredible on the PS5 and I have not experienced very many bugs other than occasional issues with registering the parkour movements and Aloy's hair having a mind of its own in cut-scenes, which is more comedic than anything. The new weapons introduced are some of the most fun in the game and I the side missions all feel very fleshed out and reward more skill points which is a great incentive to want to do everything in the game. Certainly another top quality PlayStation exclusive by Guerilla Games, highly recommend playing this one as it will no doubt be a contender for game of the year. Expand

The gameplay is fantastic, melee is greatly improved from the first and you have a ton of weapon options. Outfits have been cool and I love that they have lots of passive effects now instead of just being fashion. I've had a few problems with the freeclimb system not recognizing certain ledges or thinking a point is too far away, but pretty minor stuff overall.

    If you liked the story of the first a lot, you'll like this one. It's a continuation, and it's really easy to see that they have an overall story clearly in mind. Lots of stuff hinted at in the first game comes back up. Side characters get to hang around a LOT longer which is lovely.

    I have so much to praise, but basically this is a fantastic game and officially my favorite game ever.

Particularly the accurate movements of people. All the way down to their facial movements. The environment is beautiful, the game is huge, it's not even close to an "empty open world"(which I keep seeing as another weird complaint) there are way more NPCs in this one. Combat is dope, the focus is better at pointing out what ledges you can and can't grab/climb which makes traversing/exploring easier, the glider like BOTW is a good touch idc that it's similar to something from a different game, the most annoying thing for me is that they gave you what is essentially a grappling hook but it's very very limited.

    Horizon Forbidden West is Guerrilla's best game to date, taking Aloy to new heights with a blockbuster release that meets the high standards set by PlayStation in recent years. While it's totally worth fans jumping in on day one, it's perhaps better to wait a few weeks until all the bugs are ironed out.

    Horizon Forbidden West is exactly what everyone thought it would be: an amazing game. It has an open world with plenty of things to do and places to explore, fights against some really well-developed machines and stunning visuals. The feeling is that the second game of the series improves on what was already great, and it feels rewarding and fun to play. It is another single-player masterpiece from Sony.
