    The game maintains the essence of the first, adding diving skills and flying mounts. The story is interesting. Aloy is amazing.

    Jogo maravilhoso, gráficos perfeitos, novos métodos de combate, é realmente incrível como a Guerrilla Games consegue criar um jogo com tantos detalhes, simplesmente um dos melhores jogos já feitos.

Recomiendo enfáticamente jugar a este titulo al igual que al primero.… Expand

    O jogo é lindo, gráficos fantásticos, estou a gostar mais do que no Zero Dawn, deve ser porque agora estou a jogar no PS5 e já entendo melhor as mecânicas do jogo. Muito bom.

    Um dos melhores jogos de 2022, trazendo o que há de melhor em gameplay e gráficos!!!
    Ficando tecnicamente empatado com o tão aguardado GOW Ragnarok.

    Gráficamente increíble, jugablemente divertido, mayor cantidad de máquinas que en la primera parte. La única pega que le pongo es que la historia es inferior a Zero Dawn.

    Horizon e uma jornada inacreditável, o jogo mais bonito que tive um prazer de jogar, o primeiro Horizon não me prendeu tanto, mas essa continuação foi um balde de água cheia, não sou um jogador fã de plantina, mas foi o jogo que abriu minha cabeça para tentar, uma pena ver uma nota tão baixa em relação a usuários

    The original Zero dawn release was impressive and very hard to stop playing because of the great attention to detail and game balance between equipment and prey. But they have improved on that original and created something much larger in scale with a great story and new characters to help you on your travels.

    This game is so much better than its predecessor. They added everything I lacked in the previous game. The visuals are stunning, the side quests are unique and interesting (except for errands), the characters are well written and the plot is amazing. I really wonder how they turned from ruins exploring to such a strong plot

I didnt really run into much technical problems,,,you know bugs, glitches, frame rate drops etc etc etc. the game runs smooth as hell when the performance is active. Theres a twisted secret about the Zeniths. Aloy with her entire team deal with a great threat to humanity.....lets get it "west west yall"… Expand

While it was difficult to follow the story since they don't explain much, and it's been years since I played Zero Dawn I quite enjoyed the plot to restore Gaia and see the growth of Aloy and other characters. The mission structure is very much appreciated and every mission felt complete and varied with different locations to explore and lore to unpack. Combat feels solid and responsive, there is a good variety of weapons to choose from, and resources being more abundant is an improvement from Zero Dawn. The machines are balanced well enough with bosses being a reasonable challenge but not devolving into cheap Soulsborne pandering like many contemporary game devs love to partake in. However, most of the enemies in the open world aren't worth fighting, as they take too much time and effort and provide minimal XP. Which leads me to the worst aspect of this game, the level structure of the missions forces you to grind and do some side quests which really slows down progress. There is a massive level increase of the missions at the end of the game, so grinding and side quests are basically a requirement. The final boss is also incredibly difficult and takes a lot of time to beat if you aren't high level. Overall, Horizon Forbidden West is a great improvement over the original and deserves the 8/10 rating.… Expand

    Horizon has enchanted me again. After a slow start, a graphically beautiful, sophisticated sequel comes, polished in every aspect, and underscored by a great soundtrack on top of that. The sequel was simply a success. Everything that worked before works even slightly better now. [Issue#317]

    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.
