Best game ever so far , if you like Zelda breath of the wild on that specific adventure stand point then this game is definitely for you, the predecessor was good but the sequel is nothing but AMAZING in every way possible, stronger narrative and Beautiful graphics.

    This is probably the best game on PS5 right now, one of the greatest sequels of all time and a must play. I’d give it 11 if I could.

    Game Completed : April 18, 2022
    Ongoing Platinum Trophy
    Playtime : 48hrs

    I was skeptical at first after hearing a lot of negative reviews resulting to starting the game with a very low expectation. from the get-go, its visual is ridiculously beautiful and were continuously amaze after many hours realizing how vast and stunningly immersive every each area you encounter. overall, it has positive combinations of the last of us 2 in terms of its phasing and immersion with the world, a bit of uncharted with its world interaction and breath of the wild with its open world freedom of exploration. I really don't like zero dawn it is so repetitive and boring while it is quite the contrary with forbidden west i absolutely love the game i was never bored, it is very addictive and beautiful from start to finish. Going in to the most important aspect, the game was highly criticize with its story and narrative it was said it is so convoluted, and out of phase but it in my opinion, it was the other way around. This just proves you don't always listen with what the critics says and i bet most of the people rated this game low are those who haven't even played the game (shame on you). this game is perfect and a MASTERPIECE! now I've finished the game and trying to get the platinum trophy

    Once in a while you play a game that just fits with everything you like about playing games. Horizon Forbidden West is that extraordinary once in a while experience. What a phenomenal journey this game is!

    Where its predecessor was fun but it just wasn’t convincing, part two does everything so well that it is one of the best and most fun games I've ever played.

    The world is beautiful, the music fits into the overall picture and the combat is very satisfying right up to the last arrow you will shoot. Never before have I noticed almost no difference between main and side missions. Together with the incredibly detailed NPCs it really makes it worth looking beyond the main story.

    I found the story intriguing and mysterious. Where I sometimes found the first part difficult to follow, this story was no less complicated but more accessible. Especially with the idea of ​​what awaits Aloy, this was a worthy sequel to the story. Aloy herself has also grown in depth of her character. She is fierce, witty, funny, compassionate and has become a true icon for Sony Playstation.

    I wouldn't call the game perfect. The performance mode on the PS5 is just awful. This game is made for 30 fps. Unlike the attack, Aloy can hardly defend herself. Roll or run is your only option. The photomode is limited compared to other games. The AI of machines are only focused on Aloy even in combat with a companion and sometimes you will be annoyed by the autosave that is missing in the open world. A number of points will certainly be improved through patches.

    Nevertheless, this game is almost perfect and I did not expect to be so carried away in a world full of so much detail in environment, machines and people. Chapeau Guerrilla Games!!

    Pros:
    - Aloy
    - The world
    - The art design is outstanding
    - Character design
    - Machine design
    - Quests and mission design
    - Sound design
    - Story
    - Overal atmosphere - Graphics
    - Cinematic creativity in every scene

    Cons:
    - Performance mode is horrible on PS5
    - Defence Combat is limited
    - AI of machines are only focused on aloy even during combat with a companion
    - Missing autosave in the open world irritates sometimes
    - I wish there were more missions in the tropical erea
    - No blood in the whole game because of the PEGI 16 rating but it would make the game a little more mature

    This is one of the most beautiful open world games i have ever played,the world felt alive and it was beautiful.
    SIde quests were very engaging and not too long.
    The Main story is a weakness in this game since it didnt deliver,it was better than the Original Horizon but it was still not good.
    Music and sound system were pretty well made.
    Ocassional texture popins and such didnt bother me too much but its still good to note.
    Overall i enjoyed my 45+ hours in Horizon : Forbidden West and i would recommend it if you dont have anything to play. This game lacks a few things for it to be a Masterpiece but it is an significant improvement over the Original.
    The game was played on Playstation 5 Resolution Mode

    ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS and really fun to play. This is an evolution to what the first one was. The most well crafted characters including NPCs I've ever seen in a game. The realism is there. The world is artistically GORGEOUS in every aspect. Clothes, arquitecture, machine design... incredibly fun to play and GREAT replayability. I'll probably stay in the Forbidden West for hundreds of hours.

The scope & scale attempted by Guerilla here is impressive & it looks absolutely stunning to boot. Best game i've played so far in 2022 & one of the best of the last couple of years.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 9/10

    Visual + audio + dualsense 10/10
    It is the most beautiful game I've seen.

    Main Story + Side Quests 7.5/10
    It's nice, however, the ending is a bit disappointing. It is much more interesting when the antagonist is human. The game still lacks catchy characters that can do smth without Eloy leading them. Eloy really lacks some dark side to look more like a real person (Beta is a more interesting character for me).

    Combat + Gameplay 8/10
    It's also nice, my respect for tallneck/cauldrons/relic ruins. A lot of mechanics can bring fun, however, parkour can sometimes annoy. Combat can sometimes annoy you when robots don't give you a chance to stand up/heal.

    rant over..........

    Horizon forbidden west is an amazing game nearly everything zero dawn did great has been improved on graphically its stunning , facial animations have been improved . little touches such as the small cutscenes for most side quests adds to the beauty of this game and side quest while there is heaps and heaps dont feel like a huge or boring chore !! ..............

    i really enjoyed the main story for the most part its was a great continuation of zero dawn by adding more futuristic aspects to the game BUT where zero dawn was a very well rounded story from start to finish i personally thought forbidden west's ending was a bit messy and weird not terrible not amazing ..........................

    zero dawns ending left you satisfied yet hopeful and teasing a sequel yet but if not a satisfied ending to great game.......................

    forbidden west not so much there is so many questions left unanswered and there needs to be a 3rd game which i will buy for sure but i just didnt feel it was as well rounded as zero dawn.....................

    game play was great the mount ( spoiler less ) you earn late game makes for the best way to travel in horizon even defeats the purpose of fast travel packs in my opinion .................
    the new tools glider, pull caster , etc make for great additions...........
    if i was to complain about anything was all the added skills seemed a bit overwhelming and i personally prefer the simplistic nature of a few weapons and skills the first game..................

    overall i give horizon forbidden west a 8.5 to 9 out of 10 and if you have played the first game this will not disappoint if not play the first and get this game !!

    The first game was a masterpiece; I experienced it and its story completely blind, and I was shocked how full the game was of lore, story and lovable characters. Forbidden west took everything Zero dawn did and did it better. The supporting cast of characters, story, side missions! I loved it, I absolutely loved it. This is game, that I just cannot stop thinking about. Thank you, Guerrilla.

The combats improved into much smoother and better mechanics:
    1. You actually have meelee combos and flexibility in how to use them against people and machines.
    2. Ranged combats are pretty much similar to the first game with much more abilities and flexibilities to help you deal with more new dangerous machines in this game.
    The Cauldrons are MIND-BLOWING (see it for yourself). I bet most reviewers/critics have not finished all the Cauldrons since they don't have that much time to wrap it up before releasing reviews ahead of its release.
    Overall, although i do not think this is GOTY 2022, its an amazing game which reflects the abilities of Guerilla Games and what a Sony studio can do with the power/features of PS5. Guerilla Games proved that you do not need to buy studios that worth BILLIONS of DOLLARS to make a spectacular games (we still haven't seen any new good game from those studios yet).

Then I realized the Disc version was in a different region than the DLC version, and when I requested a refund, PSN said that since I downloaded the content already, there was no way they could refund the 10USD. What I never considered is to criticize Guerrilla Games or the Horizon product for a Sony PlayStation problem. What you are doing is so selfish, giving a game you haven't played yet a score of 1 just because PSN does not work in your country is a complete disregard for the creator's work!!! You are not even bothering PlayStation with this, only the people who worked to create the game and us who enjoy it. Man, I just can't believe how selfish people are!!!

    Horizon II is everything I expected and more. Everything is improved upon. What a masterpiece. I just need the new game plus option, so I can experience the story again without the heavy grind for equipment & skills. Took me more than 80+ hours to complete the story with all side quests. Keep in mind that sometimes I would spend a lot of time just taking in the beautiful world and amazing graphics.

    Even with the cliffhanger of a new threat at the end, I don't think we are going to see the 3rd entry in this IP. When Zero Dawn was revealed, I thought the whole concept of a girl shooting down dinosaur robots with bow and arrow to be such a dumb concept, I still think that now. But despite that, both Horizon I & II have become one of my favorite games of all time :)

    Für mich eines der besten Spiele der letzten Monate. Kleine Grafik Bugs sind mir bei 50 Std. Spielzeit nur eins zwei mal aufgefallen. Ansonsten läuft das Spiel super

    I'm reviewing this after about spending 12hours in the game. So who knows maybe I'll come back and edit this. But till now I am in awe. I loved the first game and this one is just better in every way. Guerrilla kept everything that worked in the first game whilst advancing combat and traversal in meaningful ways to create a spectacular entry in the series. I can't wait to see what they do next.

    The game absolutely delivers what a sequel should. The graphics are 10/10, story is 10/10, mechanics and combat is 10/10 . Please avoid negative reviews, if you have played zero dawn, this game is a must. And also the best graphics in an open world right now.

    Mucho mejor que su predecesor, mucho mas entretenido y con una calidad de contenido importante. Me está encantado. Las nueva rueda de habilidades de Aloy lo hace un completísimo juego, infinidad de nuevas habilidades e infinidad de nuevas máquinas a las que abatir. Las secundarias son buenísimas hasta el punto de que estoy haciendo mas secundarias que principales de momento.

    PD: esta reseña la escribí hace meses cuando salió, lo he vuelto a jugar para intentar llegar al 100% y el juego ha mejorado gráficamente desde su salida, y la fluidez es exquisita, me estoy entreteniendo más que con las misiones principales. IMPRENSCINDIBLE

    Best open world game I've played (including Elden Ring which I'm about 10 hours into). Very much an improvement on Horizon Zero Dawn, with just enough new to keep it interesting. That said, if you didn't like Zero Dawn, you probably won't like this either. I get that some people think there's too much talking and exposition dump, but I very much enjoy the depth of the sstory as aBest open world game I've played (including Elden Ring which I'm about 10 hours into).

    THIS is the reason to buy a PS5!

    The game takes the strength of its predecessor and pushes it to the next level while fixing pretty much all of its issues. The entire game looks like a goddamn cutscene. The sound is atmospheric and fitting. All of the ps5 features like 3D audio, adaptive trigger or the haptic feedback been used very well. The story is awesome. The game is packed with

    A beautiful game.

    Everything has been improved from the original. Weapons feel better, traversing is more smooth, environments are more varied, NPC's are more interesting and organic.

    And yea, it's so beautiful looking. Highly recommended

    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 are also good as the main missions and the story is amazing. A must own game!

    I bought Zero Dawn when COVID first started and thankfully it made lockdown bearable. It was my 1st platinum and I instantly fell in love. Horizon Forbidden West is no different.

Expressions are on point and at some points you'll just admire aloy for her Expressions. Gameplay was really smooth. The machines are STUNNING and so incredibly well done. I work 10 hour shifts but all I wanna do after getting home is play Horizon Forbidden West. I just didn't want to put my controller down. The perfect sequel. The current best game for Ps5. Great work by team Guerrilla. 10/10 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.
