    One of the best open world game you can buy right now. 25h in two days and OMG, it is awesome. Amazing gameplay, next-gen graphics with 4K and 60fps, 3D Audio, Dualsense, the characters and the story is interesting and the sidequest are top. Also, the game is really polished I had zero bugs, don't believe the pileros.

    The art in this Game is remarkable, from graphics, to sound, to acting, history and gameplay, it's the perfect game for me, and the collector's edition is awesome despite not including the disc, it was worth every Penny.

    Искусственный интеллект машин а так же их разнообразие очень сильно радуют. схватки с машинами очень запоминающиеся и на высоком уровне сложности заставляют тебя приложить усилия и вырабатывать тактики чтобы одержать победу.
    Очень многое можно написать об этой великолепной игре, да боюсь у меня не хватит эпитетов чтобы выразить свое восхищение данной игрой.
    Лично я получил от игры даже немного больше того что ожидал, это идеальное продолжение первой части.
    Ну а тем кто ставит игре оценку ноль или единицу это какие то неадекваты, игра заслуживает 10 балов потому что была проделана колоссальная работа, и по каждому аспекту игра прибавила в разы! вообщем я крайне доволен игрой поэтому моя оценка 10 баллов, огромное спасибо Guerilla Games за ваш труд!    … Expand

    The game is basically 2.0 of the original. If you played HZD and enjoyed it, you’ll feel right at home here.

The game is a direct sequel so definitely check out the original first but HFW is a must play for every PS owner.    … Expand

    Also if you can't get decent graphics out of your machine it's not the developers fault... If you run a next gen game on a PS4 don't expect much, although this game still runs very well on older machines.

    If people give 0 to this game then Cyberpunk should have had -10? Just wondering. So please stop with the review bombing.

    HZFW is a graphical masterpiece...the amount of detail in every part of the game is astounding. Ray tracing, the marks in the sand you make and the difference in lighting when the sun reflects of the wet sand, sweat drops when it's hot, frozen armour when it's cold, grass moving around your feet when you move...just a glimpse of the vast detail and love that has gone into this game. Not to mention the insane quality of the textures and assets + insane loading speeds.

    Story is indeed long but it's a journey...if you don't have the patience just move on to something else. I enjoy the character development and the relationships and also by doing side quests you can influence the dialogue in the main story line which is cool.

    Combat as well is very good, a bit harder than the first iteration which is a good thing but there are a lot of quality of life improvements that just make sense.

    Combined with the adaptive triggers and sound design, this is by far one of the most visually stunning, complete and well built games of our time. Only game that could beat it is God of War.

When I play my games, I want a full-on, politically correct, liberal agenda just totally gushing from them and Horizon sorely disappoints in that regard. It’s just an incredible narrative with an awesome AF main character that totally lacks any wokeness. Frankly, I won’t stand for it. Still, the game gets a 10 for being a masterpiece.

    A game needs to be truly special for it to be able to make issues such as these seem insignificant, or at least forgivable, in the grand scheme of things. Thankfully, Horizon Forbidden West is that special. It is an impressive achievement that improves upon its predecessor in almost all the ways that it should have, and brings together all of its strengths in a sweeping, memorable adventure.    … Expand

    Definitely hands down nicest looking game I've seen and played. Story is a little bland but really picks up in the middle **** goes down! The skill trees are revamped and better than ever. So much to do in this bug world 50+ hours of content. Highly recommend!

Frankly, the people posting these reviews are an embarrassment to the gaming community as a whole and should be ashamed of themselves. There is absolutely no excuse for this kind of petulant, childish behaviour, unless you are in fact a petulant little child. Just rest assured you will be investing in a stunningly realised world with an almost unbelievable amount of top-quality content. That Guerilla have poured their hearts and souls into this masterpiece is obvious from the very beginnng and they should be roundly applauded for creating such an exceptional work. And I’m playing on PS4 pro! I can only imagine what it’s like to play this on PS5. As someone with no vested interest in Guerilla Games as a company, I felt compelled to submit this in response to the abhorrent posts littering and generally befouling (that’s right, befouling!) these pages. To paraphrase another reviewer I saw elsewhere, “Buy, play, enjoy.” When all is said and done, that’s all you really need to hear.… Expand

    So all-in-all, Horizon Forbidden West is a very satisfying, extremely impressive if somewhat predictable sequel, to one of the best original titles of last generation. It’s a showcase for the PS5 platform (and not exactly a slouch on the original PS4 and PS4 Pro amazingly), and definitely worth the price of admission.

    Horizon forbidden west improves upon everything the original did. The story(most notably side quests) , visuals, combat, exploration, world building and animations are all better than the original.

Storyline is surprisingly compelling for a sequel. The acting is top notch. All the characters have their own personalities. Some of them are complete psychopaths, some are charming and others are strange and eccentric. Micro expressions in facial animations are realistic and the lighting is gorgeous I constantly find myseld exploring and finding new areas where the environment itself tells a story on its own. The combat feels more fluid this time around. Unfortunately the platforming segments are the only complaint I have with the game. Occasionally I fall to my death because of the poor controls in those segments. Autosaves usually don't set me back too far and it loads up in seconds so it's only a minor inconvenience. Game does look rough in performance mode if you're used to native 4k. I've been playing it in resolution mode and it looks amazing and crisp. I thought the 30 FPS would be a deal breaker because I usually prefer 60 FPS but for a single player story based game it feels fine. Actually feels like it's running at around 45 FPS. Framerate is reminiscent of Death Stranding on the PS4 Pro which makes sense since it uses the same engine. Maybe that's why the 30 FPS feels fine to me. I did play a lot of Death Stranding last gen.… 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.
