    Beautiful. Rich story, some sick side quests, nice combat, nice machines, good gameplay. Gorgeous. Though something is missing for me in comparison to Zero Dawn.. and backseat aloy is really annoying at times.

    Horizon Forbidden West is amazing, best graphics of a game so far.
    The people on the green side have no game to play and are reviewing bombs.
    I hope Metacritic finds a solution to this.

    After finishing the game in around 50 hours I'm looking forward to spending another 50 at least in the world. Beautiful game, good story. Not without its flaws. The positives far outweigh the negatives in my playthrough however. To see so many zeroes just for the sake of "balancing" out the positive reviews from people who have not played the game is sad to see.

    8.5/10 to be precise. Studding visuals period. Excellent facial animation and good conversations. The night sky is very good (not like HZD).

    For the reviewer out there giving this game 10/10, I say hmm...OK I understand, for those giving below 8 I say seriously, be honest with the players. and for those giving below 5, I say to the readers dont waste your time reading those reviews, biased to the core, almost HADES corrupted them :) !

    Picking up straight after Zero Dawn, the game feels familiar and all cool the moves you learned the first time are already here as carry throughs. It feel like a proper continuation and the graphics in 4K on a PS5 are beautiful and detailed, even down to the conversations and the skin tone and movement of people talking.

    Forbidden West is such a giant step forward from Zero Dawn. Bringing back the amazing combat system with so many new ways to customize your play style. The new Jobs system that was worked in to help progress upgrades to weapons, pouches, and armor is a really nice touch! Traversal is better than Zero Dawn’s clunky system.

    While i'm nowhere near done with the Game i can without a doubt give this game a 9/10. The Good:
    Horizon Forbidden West did something which most sequels fail trying. It took the first game as a base and improved upon the source material immensely. The story is engaging and if you liked the first one you will definetly love this one. The gameplay is a major stepup with many more mechanics

The story is engaging and if you liked the first one you will definetly love this one. The gameplay is a major stepup with many more mechanics and new things to do. The graphics are phenomenal even on PS4 Pro. Characters are interesting and the animations are a big improvement compared to the first game.
    The sheer size of the map, the content, machines could be daunting at first but throughout 20+ hours i have never felt bored with the game. Even now I come across new things to do and explore.

    The not bad but not good:
    There are a few glitches and audio issues here and there. Pop in does occur from time to time but by no means is it something that ruins the experience.


    Summary:
    No game is perfect. But this one comes pretty close to it.

For those of you who aren’t a bunch of crybabies, the game is a solid 8/9. Gotta give it a 10 though because Metacritic can’t seem to filter out virgins who will die alone giving it a 0.

    What I Dislike: A lot of pointless cutscenes when NPCs give you items gets annoying after a while. Minor gripe in an amazing game. But to be serious, some weapons and skills are unbalanced and kind of useless.

    How It Stacks Up: This is GOTY contender in a stacked year. I predict that they will delay GOW Ragnarok to 2023 just so there isn't as much competition. This game is that good. Too bad it released so close to Elden Ring. Looking forward to Horizon VR. I was already sold on PSVR2, but this game just cemented my purchase.

    Давайте по порядку.

    1. Графика - Я действительно очень удивлен, тому что несчастная девятилетняя PS4 способна вытащить такой графоний. Она ревет, кричит, пищит, но все же вывозит и свои 30 кадров отрабатывает как и задумывалось.
    Не хотелось бы такать пальцем в некоторых личностей, но кое кто, в кое каких последних релизах от мелкомягкого фила, графику до релиза под микроскопом разглядывал, которую на релизе так и не завезли... Кто-то там кукарекнул про 2013 год. Это можно смело расценивать как голос диванного критика из разряда "не читал, но осуждаю". Ну или просто зависть человека, которому по какой либо причине тайтл не доступен. Так что 10/10

    2. Открытый мир - Кто сказал что он пустой, можете смело отправляться на пустоши мира фалаут 76, ну или на худой конец любого из творений французов на юбисофте. Там разницы нет, одинаково, тупо, не интересно. Снова 10/10

    3. Сюжет. - Я игру не прошел даже до середины, так что могу судить только по тому что я уже видел. И то что я видел, мне нравится. Бывают финты и получше, а бывают и похуже. А бывает что из пальца сосут "если из пальца", да? Мастер Чиф. Так как не знаю чем закончится и куда заведет пока 5/10

    4, Прошлые грешки. Первую часть ругали за плохую лицевую анимацию и однообразные доп задания. В Запретном западе Анимации и допы возведены в абсолют. Найдите мне более живых второстепенных персонажей, тогда и поговорим, я таких не встречал. 10/10

    Вывод. Игра действительно достойная и на данный момент не имеющая конкурентов в своем жанре. Жалею только об одном, что не смог купить PS5, что бы насладится игрой на полную

    It’s an amazing gaming experience: awesome visuals (best I’ve ever seen on a console), great story (not as immersive as the first but still) and no bugs at all. Don’t listen to the haters trying to bring this masterpiece down..

    Better than first in every single way. Absolute blast to play. Hard to put down. My only complaint is the platinum is too easy. They really did an incredible job and hopefully we get a 3rd one

I played around 12 hours, one or two minor bugs until now,, that absolutely didn't affect the gameplay at all. The story is breath taking. Go for it, you will not regret.

    I played a little over 10 hours now, this game took all of the complaints from the first game and improved on it, facial features and animations are the biggest improvement over the last game, a new and improved skill tree also makes the game a lot more fun.

    Graphics are also top notch, I think nothing rivals it at the moment, beautiful landscapes and lighting and weather system really

    Graphics are also top notch, I think nothing rivals it at the moment, beautiful landscapes and lighting and weather system really makes the world stand out.

    PS5 features are also one of the most important factors of the game, when I started playing this game all of my controller features were turned off because I mostly played FIFA before. After turning haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, gyro aiming and the speakers back on the game became way more fun, and the 60 FPS performance mode is also really well implemented.

    Parkour system has been revamped with a lot of new features, makes climbing mountains a lot easier and does not feel like a chore anymore.

    Lots of story rich and detailed side quests to do and new things to discover, keep in mind I played just a little over 10 hours and I am still at the beginning of the game, it's very easy to get lost in the atmosphere and exploration of the world.

    10/10 from me so far, will update review once I finish the game

    In addition to the better pictures that can immerse people in this world built by next-generation technology, and the faster reading speed brought by the powerful solid-state hard drive, the reading pictures can be transferred at any time, the West's Despair left the deepest impression on me.

    What a gem!

    Just imagine Horizon: Zero Dawn, but improved in about every single way. Better weapons, way better inventory, voice acting, story, just better overall.

    Only downsides in my opinion :

    The sound the focus makes Too many machines can shoot The PS5 version is gorgeous, the quick load and fast travel is anywhere between 1 and 6 seconds. Highly recommend this

    I expected the story of forbidden west will fall short, because I didn't think Guerrilla Games could come up with such innovative ideas again. But in that way Forbidden west surprised me: It has also a great, sometimes very emotional storyline with great characters and expands the story of the first part very well. Guerrilla Games is the new Bioware to me! I also play Mass Effect Legendary Edition just now and in direct comparison I find the storyline is on the same level!

    So if you like good innovative stories and Action RPG gameplay that is not just plain gunfight but has a certain tactial touch - play Horizon! And if you didn't play the first part - start with that!

    Wonderful game! Let's do our part to offset the review bombing that the reddit incels have brought about. And if you're whining about political correctness in games, you need to try and find a way to lose your virginity. For all of our sakes.

    Every mechanic from the first game is refined. Exploration is so great, the movement easy and fluid. It’s legitimately some of the best platforming and running I’ve experienced in a game. Aloy is amazing, her personality and look flushed out. Legitimately loving this game (about 10hr in)

    - Fights with several enemies was a mess of jumping, dashing and dodging without overview. Maybe blocking and lock on targets would help?!
    - many Side quests were built the Same: somebody went and Never came back. Aloy can you please Look After Them…

    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.
