    Absolutely phenomenal story. My favorite actually, of all time! The graphics and the lighting are absolutely stunning if you have the right equipment (4K HDR). It continues Horizon Zero Dawn perfectly and is better in every aspect. Combat and equipment have had many upgrades. Honestly very worth it

    Gorilla Games' latest iteration of Aloy's journey has been out for over two weeks, more than enough time for a full completion of the story line and 100% completion.

(Going off what is required for a platinum trophy.) Horizons showcase of stunning landscapes, fluid combat, deep characters and titanic tin cans are all the perfect blend for an incredible experience to be had on the PS5.

    For open world games forbidden west gets so many things right and with only a few minor hiccups. The maps massive scale makes is easy to add all the right things to create an engaging world. Day night cycles that create paintings no matter where the light comes from, weather systems that vary depending on your biome, lakes filled with treasures hidden in its depths, and snow capped mountains holding literal gems and showcasing more visual gems. Although finding all the nooks to clamber around can be particularly tricky at times. Adding climbable surfaces into Horizon is a good step in the right direction, however inconsistencies can make mountains and sometimes simple hills difficult to traverse. Only specified surfaces can be scaled, and the only way of knowing is clicking away at the "focus" or turning on the bright yellow guidelines in the settings. Even in later areas of the game I found myself opting to avoid climbing and finding flat surfaces to jump around, which somehow is faster and an easier way to get around. Understandably the world isn't free climb due to the nature of the puzzles. Consisting almost exclusively of climbing walls, boxes, steel beam and ladders, and never once did I feel accomplished for solving a problem as Aloy would make sure to tell you how to finish it.

    In Horizon Zero Dawn, fights usually were ranged sniping battles, only due to the melee combat being a little on the weaker side. However this time around Forbidden West gave Aloy a much larger arsenal. Multiple new skill trees unlock a plethora of new heavy hitting combos that can deal huge damage. Not only have they added combos for melee but plenty of new and unique weapons to suite any play style. The new warrior bow allows for up-close and personal action, enabling you to swap between building up resonator chargers and ripping off chunks of armor. Along side the new weapons comes a few new status effects the you can use to get the upper hand on your opponent, or perhaps they might use against you. To help get an understanding of all things new, Aloy can participate in multiple combat activities. Take on the Hunting grounds to get more familiar with each enemy type, Head to the Melee Pits to get and understanding of the best combos and put all those togethor to head into the arena to test your metal against packs of machines or some of the more fearsome dinosaurs.

    As a sequel the game will of course succumb to the usual opinions of never being as good as the prequel. If Zero Dawn was a story focused on Aloy, Forbidden West is a story about your friends. I know, I know the power of friendship isn't a very exactly what most people would call a good storyline. But Gorilla Games has thoroughly impressed me with how engaging the supporting cast was. With some characters I was desperate to find out more about them. Being able to share a beer with Petra or Erend to listen to their stories really sold me on how living and breathing this world was. Sometimes during fights supporting characters might...support you. They might lob and fresh batch of arrows or sometimes a goody bag of health over your way. Sadly the fights would usually be so intense and full of rolling and being thrown around like a ragdoll that you would usually find those arrows after the fight. It's the though that counts. right?

    Gripes aside delving into the west was an incredible experience and the cast did an incredible job bringing every character to life. The animation and motion capture have made every NPC look alive and everything from the deadliest Slaughterspine to the smallest squirrel creates a world the looks real. You can see the amount of love and talent that went into this game, the attention to details is evidence enough for that. Forbidden West raises the bench mark for all open world RPG and seeing the upcoming releases for 2022, I am extremely excited to see how much further we can go.

The world design, it is top quality, there may be hiccups for you if you do play, but for me, in my experience I had none. The Quests are done extremely well, there wasn't a ton of fetch quests, and if there was a fetch quest if was for a goal, (either to help you or another character in finding something or someone who needed help.) I think very highly of this game, though you may not feel the same, I do believe this game to be the best game I've played so far, I recommend it to anyone who'd like to try it. I would also recommend trying out the first one, Horizon Zero Dawn, or if you've played it before, and enjoyed that one, or may not have enjoyed. I recommend trying the game and ride it out, it was a blast to play. It brought emotions to me, and shows the feeling written about the sleeve. Hope you enjoy as well if you buy it yourself. Expand

    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. 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

Zur Story, oft wurde kritisiert das man nicht eine ähnliche Faszination aufgreifen konnte, wie der Vorgänger. Das finde ich jedoch nur bedingt schlimmer, da dafür die Charakterentwicklung von Eloy und andere Nebencharaktäre einfach mehr Punkten. Technisch ist das Spiel auch über jeden Zweifel erhaben. Ich hab so oft wie in kaum einen anderen Spiel einfach in die Landschaft geschaut und gestaunt, wie gut das alles aussieht. Die Kämpfe machen auch wahnsinnig viel Spaß und die verschiedenen Maschinentypen und wie detailliert diese ausgearbeitet sind, lassen mich immer wieder staunen. Auch wenn mich der Aufbau der Open World nicht so sehr stört wie andere, für eine Fortsetzung würde ich mir ein ähnliches Konzept wie in Zelda BotW oder Elden Ring wünschen. Ich sehe trotz meiner hohen Wertung einfach noch viel Potenzial! Expand

My critique is when it’s supposed to be set in a harsh hunter gatherer wilderness, most of the men are portrayed as weak, making food, stitching clothes, when the females are the strong leaders and hunters. If you want to kill a robot TRex you better believe the person leading the charge has the build of Amy Adams. And when going to rescue a group who are fighting a 30 foot tall flame and acid robot, the voices of these people are like Chris Rock, Kevin Hart and Wanda Sykes, or current day san-Fran latte drinkers. It takes me out of the immersion when the bodies and voices just don’t fit the situation. Would be like playing God of war and you reside Thor and he sounds like Eddy Murphy Expand

    Horizon Farbidden West is a masterpiece, but a masterpiece that contains small but tangible flaws Like limited and not very attractive platforming. But his strengths make him ignore his small weaknesses. Strengths such as an attractive role-playing system, polished gameplay, better and enjoyable hand-to-hand combat, and a dynamic world.

Horizon Farbidden West is more complete and ambitious than Zero Down in every way. And the role-playing elements that have improved the gameplay and eye-catching visual effects are one of the most effective factors of the success of this game. The only disappointing part is the game's limited platforming, which lacks much appeal

    Horizon Forbidden west is undoubtedly one of the best open world games of recent years And thanks to the stunning visual effects and the beautiful world, it has succeeded in creating a captivating atmosphere. With its large number of role-playing elements and various robots, it has been able to provide the players with the beauty and charm of the gameplay in addition to the visual beauty.

    O jogo graficamente falando melhorou muito o combate tbm está bem melhor as viagens tbm melhoraram pq ficam mais rápidas com o planador agora mas achei a narrativa um pouco fraca no Zero dawn achei uma história mais cativante mas no geral e uma experiência gratificante e muito divertida vale a pena jogar.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There's really not much more that one could ask for in a sequel here. The game is smooth and gorgeous, even on quality mode. The amount of activities, storage options, combat combinations, and traversal variation elevates it to new heights. There is a ton of density/ verticality in environments and towns. Acting and animations are about as good as they come.... plus, the new minigame is epic and addictive. The story starts slow on purpose and it serves the game's purpose well. Missing this is mossing a gem. I would normally give a 9, but with all the bonehead review bombers on here who are basically just immature, I've gotta compensate. If you looked forward to this title, you've received what you anticipated. Expand

    While the first couple hours of this game are a bit slow and the game at first appears to be almost too much like the first one I highly recommend powering through them and giving the game a proper chance as once you leave the starting area the game really comes into its own.

(In my mind the lengthy slow and lackluster start is probably the culprit behind most of its bad user reviews as if I had stopped after only a few hours I would also have found this game a bit underwhelming). They have refined every aspect of the game compared to the first game. The story, lore, open world, combat and general game mechanics are far better than the original games making this one of the best if not the best open world games I have ever played (right up there with the Witcher 3). The attention to detail is amazing. For example, Aloy and the NPCs even sweat if they are in the desert during the day and not just in cut scenes but throughout the course of general gameplay as well. Unlike most modern open world games the game is, with a few exceptions, full of unique and original side quests that really help to keep you engaged and immersed in its world. The combat and crafting mechanics and scope are also much improved. The voice acting and facial animations are significantly better bringing it up to par with the best of it genre. I played it on the PS5 so I had access to the new dualsense features which in Horizon forbidden west are one of the best of any PS5 games so far. It also visually stunning on the PS5. Finally the games settings menu is extensive and to the point where, with the exception of the visual setting portion of the settings menu, I would say it is comparable to that of a PC game. It gives you a lot of control and allows you to adjust the game to your liking. It also has a nice option that allows you to set a custom difficulty where you can choose to individually adjust various aspects of the gameplay independently of one another. So for example if you want to make Aloy take significantly more damage from an enemy hit but would rather that her damage output remains closer to the default you can set her damage delt to normal and enemy damage to very hard. I would strongly recommend people play this game. 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.
