    Fiz questão de vir aqui avaliar o jogo por conta das contas fakes. E eu sou real. Comprei o console e os jogos. Inclusive essa maravilha que é o Horizon Forbidden West. O mundo dos videogames deveria ser um lugar de entretenimento, amizades e saber o que cada console tem de melhor. E foi o que a Sony fez e vem fazendo com os seus jogos.

    Horizon: Forbidden West is exceptional. It improves upon so much of what made HZD great. Creative and thoughtful puzzle mechanics, exploring feels fresh and exciting- did I mention how GORGEOUS it is? Im jazzed to continue- definitely recommended. There’s tons to discover and will certainly make my GOTY short-list.

    This is a really stunning game. Cut scenes are really amazing but every once in a while the cuts between scenes are really awkward. Haven't had any glitches been playing about 30 hrs. Or so. They grappler is also a little funky too but I do recommend this game.

    The game improves upon everything from the first one in meaningful ways. Each side quests doesn't feel pointless and has genuine surprises at times and high quality. The gameplay is right, clean and smooth as hell. Last but not least this is game is gorgeous! It's like playing the cinematic trailer through and through.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Horizon She is so amazing The story and the world of the game are among its most distinguishing features, as the world and humans seem to be primitive, but it is a return to primitiveness after the destruction of the world and the spread of deadly machines in it. The different tribes and some of them revering their ancestors or the machines is interesting, as is seeing the landmarks of America after the destruction of the world. The music is good, although it tends to be dramatic sometimes, the sounds of nature add a lot, the voice performance in general is good, especially Aloy, and the scenes are only flawed by the expressions of the characters sometimes and the fact that some of the dialogues are clumsy. Machine combat is also unique, each machine has weaknesses and shields that you can destroy and even use the weapons on the machines. You always have the option of stealth, as well as your spear, various arrows and traps, and after you get the ability you can even tame them and fight with them. There is a great diversity in the environment, there are forests, snowy areas, desert, rocky areas, tropical forests, beaches, and the cycle of night and day gives beautiful views especially dawn and sunset, and you can move around this world walking, climbing, riding, swimming and even diving. The game covers everything we're used to, there's stealth and fighting humans and machines, there's riding machines and using the sail to get off the hills (though rarely needed), hook, puzzles, and an open world with side missions, challenges, and mini-games. There is also a gathering of supplies and the manufacture of stocks and tools. You have a hall and gather allies as the game progresses, it is your main center and evolves with time. It's a touch we've seen in games like Guardians of the Galaxy and Mass Effect and gives you a greater connection to the game world. In it you constantly discuss with your allies and help them in their missions.… Expand

Poco o mucho podría agregar a lo que ya muchos sitios han hecho por reseñar éste videojuego, lo que si puedo decir es que el esmero, el mimo y el lujo que cada pixel exudado en éste videojuego, es impresionante a un nivel que francamente toda la industria debería de celebrar. El hecho de que una industria cada vez más repleta de micropagos, suscripciones y falacias de querer abarcar todo y a todos sin realmente palpar nada; es un recordatorio de lo muy agradecidos que deberíamos estar porque compañías como Sony y Nintendo sigan apostando por este tradicional modo de hacer videojuegos. HFW es una experiencia única de mundo abierto, repleta de sidequest, contenido adicional muy enriquecido por una talentosa narrativa, y un detalle supremo y espectacular. Si te gustó HZD y eres fanático de las grandes historias hechas videojuego, entonces Forbidden West no sólo te va gustar, sino que dejará una sensación en ti de que el modelo de suscripciones no sólo es una fantasía y un timo de mal gusto, y es que son estas experiencia single player la verdadera joya de la corona en la industria del gaming de salón.… Expand

    This game is absolutely flawless. I really don’t see how people can dislike it, I’ve had zero problems on it and zero bugs. I think the people who doesn’t like it, are either Xbox players or people who don’t have a ps5

    Excellent game, nothing less than 10. We want more of the same. The visual quality is top, story is good as well. Very few bugs that have been mostly patch during the first week.

    Great fun. Just not a fan of the writing. Feels a little bit like it was written for kids, like a Sesame Street dialog. Rest and overall is a solid 8/10

    I honestly didnt like the first game, but Horizon 2 improves on litterally EVERY SINGLE ASPECT - and more. Worth a buy, especially if you’re on PS5!

    The review bombing here by trolls is pathetic. Many of them claim that they have played the game but have not actually played a minute of it. If you didn't like the game, a 6/10 would have been adequate. But giving it a 0-4 out of 10 clearly shows their motivation.

    Aloy's journey through the Forbidden West is a grand one complete with awe-inspiring environments as you take down new machines with an expanded arsenal. Although the story is lacking the personal touch of the first game, if you're looking for an action-filled adventure with thoroughly enjoyable gameplay then you certainly can't go wrong with Horizon Forbidden West.

    The best ps5 game out right now. Graphics look amazing and the gameplay has improved from the first one. Definitely a game of the year contender.

    The graphics and detail are just incredible. However, because of all this colorful vegetation everywhere, my eyes is rippling. I'll have to get used to it. 60 FPS on the TV is so smooth that it feels like 144 on the monitor. In quality mode, the game looks even better, but the differences are not particularly large, and it hurts to look at 30 FPS after 60. The gameplay is still the same,The graphics and detail are just incredible. However, because of all this colorful vegetation everywhere, my eyes is rippling.

Side quests have become more interesting. In one of the first quest, they asked me to find a frying pan, haha. Aloy is cute and she has normal cheeks. I liked it when Avad complimented her and she was embarrassed. It seems that the developers are not going to make her a lesbian for the sake of fashion trends, and this pleases.… Expand

    Horizon forbidden west is the best looking triple a open world game for now. apparently it get review bombed with 0 out of 10, Probably some xbox player, aside from the graphics this is the best open world game since next gen started, rdr2 still the king for me, but HFW nailed the sence of exploration.

    Not a perfect a game, has some issues of course, but giving it a 10 just because a lot of people are review bombing it because of very stupid reasons (like Aloy has a beard oh no, gives the game a 1 or 0).
    The story is amazing, the game is beautiful, combat is much imprpved from the first game a lot of new machines, Regalla is an amazing villain. Side quest have very good stories.

    I'm amazed by this game. Guerrilla managed to put soul into this open world. This is not your average Ubisoft copy-paste game. This has soul and a lot of effort put in its setting. You feel like playing an awesome adventure.

    Another masterpiece from Playstation Studios. This game has an amazing gameplay and mind blowing graphics. This game is very very close to Naughty Dog quality. Well done Guerilla!

    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.
