    Superbe suite, graphiquement parfois c’est pas ça et parfois c’est magnifique. L’histoire est prenante, les combats sont un peu brouillon par moment mais c’est clairement ça un GOTY pour le moment et pas cet EldenRing encensé par les médias qui au final est une belle arnaque.

    So far, been having a great time with the game! Apparently they recently released a patch for glitches and whatnot. Haven’t gotten any glitches myself, so coming from that perspective, it’s a pretty awesome game and a step up from the first!

    HFW was as much better than HZD as Mass Effect 2 from ME`. HFW is an absolute masterpiece. The graphics are insane. The gameplay and combat is way more fun and dynamic.. There are different classes you can focus on, making the game more rpg like. The puzzles are way less frustrating. I Loved every story quest and side quest.

    Playstation Studios (Guerilla Games) does it once again with another masterpiece! Horizon Forbidden West is the perfect blend of story, gameplay, and combat, accompanied by an inviting atmosphere ripe for exploration. This game has the potential for Game of the Year for sure.

    Wonderful story, significant improvements to melee combat system, many new interesting weapons, additional new robo-animals and robo-dinosaurs, completely new territories this time also underwater ones, STAGGERING level of detail both form the air, on the ground or under water. All this tied with a beautiful bow of jaw-dropping graphics. Wonderful sequel to wonderful game

    The story is very nice and the gameplay is almost perfect. Some small bugs but is normal for new game, it will take some small update to fix all of them. The visuals and sound and nearly perfect. Also the side quests have more "soul" compare to previous game. The first game was very good but this is better in all the ways. From all the Sony exclusive(since PS5 arrive) this is the best one

There were minor bugs which don't really take away from the overall game quality but can be annoying when encountering. But through my 64 hours of play through, I only experienced 4 times. The hunting grounds and melee puts are more forgiving, however the gauntlet runs were a pain in the ass, but if you like a challenge, go for it. However it can be a bit choppy. The story is brilliant and sets its self up for a third game and potentially the finale as the final revelation bring the full story in a complete circle for one final conclusion we will see in a third game. The cinematography in this game is a massive upgrade compared to the first game. The haptic feedback is brilliant during action and cutscenes. The most annoying part about this game is the climbing, it can be annoying most of the time.… Expand

Aloy will meet alot of returning characters aswell as plenty of new characters on her journey, you are bound to get a smile or even a tear on your face Exploring the world with many of the traversing options is another huge improvement. Combine that with it's photo mode, you will be constantly stopping and taking pictures of the beautiful post-apocalyptic world..

If your not a fan of storytelling in a video game then you’re going to be a little disappointed as this game has a lot of dialogue. It’s dialogue didn’t bother me as much as the first because the voice actors did a better job telling the story.

The graphics are beautifully done and Horizon sure look superb. Between the two graphical settings I chose to play the performance setting at 60fps as it feels more natural to my eyes. Like all games there are some bugs but nothing major to report. Overall Horizon is a very fulfilling experience and I enjoyed it very much… Expand

The expansive size of the map which I have not yet discovered because of the dense population of activities to do. There is more breadth and depth to this game than I have experienced in years. One thing I love so far is the ease of the use of a mount. Also the ability to be a female protagonist. It's amazing as a female.

    I was looking forward to this game all year. The first Horizon is one of my favorite games and was not disappointed with the sequel. However, I think the combat feels worse than the first one and the parkour seems off too. I played this right at launch so maybe they tweaked it since but I haven't dabbled with it since I beat it. I enjoyed the first one a lot more. Maybe due to being introduced to the world for the first time and falling into love with the lore and this one just carried on from the previous one. I still enjoyed it but overall felt like it was a step back besides the graphics and the glider.    … Expand

    This game is a **** masterpiece
    This is probably the best open world i've ever played its just beautifull the beaches and jungles are absolutely gorgeous. The story is okey but it is still good you really have to understand everything from the last game. It has some glitches and bugs but i trust the devs that they will fix those small issues. Its a great game really recommend this game

    Sensacional. A guerrilla games tá de parabéns pelo jogo. Horizon forbidden West é um dos melhores jogos de mundo aberto q já vi. Gráficos insanos, personagens carismáticos, história sensacional. Horizon é uma obra prima q enaltece a natureza e toda sua beleza.

    Perfected version of Horizon. Graphics Story, Performance mode are all flawless. Enemy types are are much more diverse then expected.

    In my opinion Horizon is a great game. But why?
    1. Interesting and still captivating take on AI, humanity, our common mistakes and so on
    2. Great music - check the choir in the Utaru location
    3. Vibrant graphics - models, the level of details during dialogue, in cauldrons and so on And many more..

    Un juego maravilloso, rinde estupendamente, unos paisajes preciosos, yo me quedo sin lugar a dudas con la selva, los pantanos y sus bosques frondosos.
    La historia me gusta mucho, el combate es fascinante y frenético, el ver cómo impactan las flechas, las explosiones a las máquinas y ver cómo estás se van despedazado, el sonido ambiente, es un portento, y jugarlo en PS5 una maravilla.

The dialogue is similar to the first game and to he fair, I really liked the first games dialogue because hanky though it was it really gave the game a good amount of charm and character. The team have definitely added to the game rather than changed the whole system which I appreciate, and there's so many new systems to learn and master. I'm currently around 15 hours in and I cannot wait to finish the game and then play it all over again.… Expand

    The vibrant world and gorgeous vistas Horizon Forbidden West sports is breathtaking enough that I find myself halting my hunting to just enjoy a sunrise or listen to people sing or watching two robo-animals interact from my hiding spot in the grass.

    I enjoy open world games, but I personally get exhausted going through barren wastelands. Fallout and Dying Light are excellent games, but    The vibrant world and gorgeous vistas Horizon Forbidden West sports is breathtaking enough that I find myself halting my hunting to just enjoy a sunrise or listen to people sing or watching two robo-animals interact from my hiding spot in the grass.

    I enjoy open world games, but I personally get exhausted going through barren wastelands. Fallout and Dying Light are excellent games, but after an hour in dreary, post-apocalyptic environments, I need to take a break. I love the theming and narrative of post apocalyptic games, but get burned out on the aesthetic. Horizon threads the needle for me here, because it manages to tell the engaging post-civilization collapse stories I love, but wow me with picturesque landscapes and engaging animalistic enemy designs.

    The enemy designs combining weak spots, with elemental resists/weakness, and removable weapons/abilities really make each combat encounter feel unique and on Very Hard, require slightly different strategies (I can't just place 20 traps down in the same spot like in the first game).

    I am only half-way through the campaign, but I thoroughly enjoy the story. It hits on a lot of personal touchpoints that make it subjectively very engaging. The introduction of new tribes that all have local, ecological specific idioms mixed in with their language along with the unique costuming and set designs make them each feel unique, even if they are just a short charger ride away.

    I see a lot of reviews listing issues with bugs and performance. I'm playing the PS5 version on a 1080p display and the only bug I've encounter so far was the combo tutorial fight pits listing incorrect inputs. I don't know what performance is like at 4k, but on resolution mode, there was only one or two noticeable dips bellow 60 fps.

    If you liked the first game, you will probably continue to enjoy Forbidden West. There's nothing revolutionarily new in the sequel, but the small improvements and inclusions were worth the $60 for me to jump back into this world again. Or if you just enjoy Alloy's story, so far this proves to be a fulfilling next step.

    Thanks Guerrilla and everyone involved in the loving production of this game! It has become one of my favorite franchises overnight.    … 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.
