    This game is incredible. The world is so dense not just in terms of plants but in terms of animals. The underwater sections are done so well and are a real innovation, the world traversal is like a separate game in its own right.

    Best Game i played for a while. Waaaayyy better than Zero Dawn. Idk where the negative ratings come from. But its the first game which motivates me for playing even after 20+ hours with fun. Game of the Decade for me.

    Esse jogo é incrível e vale cada centavo pago nele. O cuidado dos desenvolvedores é perceptível a todo instante no game. Sem dúvida é o jogo mais bonito que ja joguei. A Guerrilla esta de parabéns com esse motor gráfico. O que eu percebo que ele perde décimos de ponto no quesito animação gráfica., isso se comparar com o jogo mais bem executado da história, que é o The Last Of Us Part II.Esse jogo é incrível e vale cada centavo pago nele.

    Forbidden West is a "By the book '' sequel with impressive graphics but with a world in which its inhabitants look uglier and have less soul than the dinobots.
    I got the platinum of the PS5 version, free upgrade for the PS4 disc version and I have to admit that on quality mode technically is outstanding, 0 visual glitches, one of the best HDR 4:4:4 I have ever seen and superb sound mix,    Forbidden West is a "By the book '' sequel with impressive graphics but with a world in which its inhabitants look uglier and have less soul than the dinobots.
    I got the platinum of the PS5 version, free upgrade for the PS4 disc version and I have to admit that on quality mode technically is outstanding, 0 visual glitches, one of the best HDR 4:4:4 I have ever seen and superb sound mix, especially on a 7.1 AV-receiver
    The incredible usage of the Decima engine is combined with horrendous NPCs due to questionable design, hairdos and clothing. Aloy's is also affected by this, especially if you take a look at how beautiful Hannah Hoekstra is, IMO the uglifying process went way too far, no idea if this is due to Agenda or "realism" but the NPCS sometimes look like caricatures and Aloy looks like a developer messed up on purpose with the face of a beautiful girl to content some gamer segment.
    If having such less visual appeal on the NPCS was not enough, their dialogs are dull and the main char is totally one dimensional on her relationships with them, 'I have no time for this'.
    Hence you get disconnected very fast and end up not caring at all about them. This adds on top of a mild main story with uncharismatic new enemies ripped off from Deus Ex Human Revolution.
    Even the decisions that the player can make have no impact and some of the romantic interest you can start get obliterated d by the infamous Burning Shores DLC.
    The mini-games (e.g. racing, arenas) are atrocious and this game really needs a z-targeting system if they want to focus on human against human combats.

    IMO the best moments of this game happen while exploring the map or beating some huge dinobots.

    Also all the patches released until now help a lot on the experience and add a lot of QOL options    … Expand

    Honestly, a modern masterpiece. It was so damn good. The story went deeper into the characters, instead of the events that happened in the world. All characters are likable (or hatable). And the game is absolutely gorgeous. The combat is really fun and the variety of machines to fight is insane.
    The platinum is also fairly easy to get if you are interested in those things.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. LOVED IT, one of the most beatiful open world ever made.
    The Forbidden West is outstanding graphically and so well detailed.
    Aloy grow up like a character and the story is another big mistery that haunt you to search the answer.
    The enemies here are not a weak minded tribe that is deceived by an artifical intelligence, here the enemy is the MAN of the future with stronger weapons and mind; the sense of weakness of the character that use a bow against immortal soldiers with indestructible shields and cannons is BRILLIANT.
    The new machines are beautifiul and uniques and the gameplay finally evolved with new skill trees very detailed.
    All that was done in the first game is now not better, it reached nearly perfection.

    No shock there, I could stop and gush at my screen for hours on end looking at this game.
    Story 9/10
    The story is amazing and had me on the edge so many times. The mysteries created on the first game are answered extremely well and the direction of the story adds a huge sci-fi twist. The only thing I'd change is the Zeniths who had too little screentime and not enough development other than Tilda.
    Gameplay: 10/10
    The fluidity of movement and the sheer variety of combat moves is ridiculous. The extensive skill tree system lets you make your own Aloy. There are so many weapons each with a particular purpose that compliments a different style. The tallnecks and cauldrons were even more surprising. Each tall neck had a different way of reaching the top. One was stuck In water, another had to be shot down. The cauldrons had some challenging puzzles that never bored me. Even relic ruins were engaging as each one required you to think to collect the relic.
    Characters: 10/10
    The game incorporates favourits from before but new characters as well who I found very easy to like. Aloys relationships with all are unique which makes it so fun to see.
    Side quest: 10/10
    The amount of side quests was impressive by itself but the sheer variety allowed for an experience that was never dry. Each side quest entailed different styles of play and created lore that I'm glad to have learned about.
    Overall this game is a masterpiece; the graphics , the combat, everything was tuned to perfection.    … Expand

Je l’ai terminé à 92% : il me manque 1 quête annexe qui a buggé, et peut être quelques sous missions que je n’ai pas trouvé, certaines ne s’enclenchant que si on retourne dans une zone de la map, faudra que je vérifie. Et il me manque principalement des fichiers audio ou de lecture du monde. Sinon c’est du quasi 100%.

Je l’ai terminé à 92% : il me manque 1 quête annexe qui a buggé, et peut être quelques sous missions que je n’ai pas trouvé, certaines ne s’enclenchant que si on retourne dans une zone de la map, faudra que je vérifie. Et il me manque principalement des fichiers audio ou de lecture du monde. Sinon c’est du quasi 100%.

    Il m’a fallu 93 heures de jeu, ce qui est très largement suffisant, et franchement je n’ai pas trouvé le temps aussi long que d’autres jeux du même style, donc c’est que l’aventure est assez équilibré.

    Les points positifs:

    - La map est vraiment très grande (je dirais au moins 2 fois celle du 1er opus, si ce n’est plus)
    de très nombreux biomes (forêt, jungle, désert, montagnes, océans, etc…). C’est hyper diversifié
    une végétation dense
    - des robots beaucoup plus nombreux et toujours aussi bien modélisés
    - les personnages ont largement gagné en finesse et en détail, même les PNJ
    - de beaux effets de lumières avec un cycle jour / nuit réussi
    - une bande son sympa, même si j’aurais aimé plus de « chants » (comme on peut en entendre dans le prologue)
    - Les combats à distance sont plus élaborés (limitation plus forte des pièges qu’on peut poser, ce qui oblige à analyser chaque ennemis, ses points faibles, etc…)
    - Le scénario et les quêtes annexes sont vraiment soignés. On en apprend beaucoup plus que je l’avais imaginé sur l’univers de Aloy et ce qui s’est passé sur terre. Ca fait plaisir de voir une suite qui va beaucoup plus loin que d’autre sagas qui stagnent volontairement.

    Les points négatifs:

    - malgré les nombreuses mises à jour, beaucoup de bugs (personnages qui restent coincés dans le décors, coffre enfoui dans le sol, sprites qui sont bloqués dans les airs, apparition de gros bloc au dernier moment). Beaucoup trop de soucis et pas mal de bugs qui m'ont valu de devoir relancer la console pour les contourner.

    - Si on joue concentré sur sa partie, on s’en rend moins compte. Mais si on s’amuse à uniquement regarder son environnement, on constate l’apparition des ombres au dernier moment, apparition de textures, d’éléments au dernier moment, c’est flagrant.

    - le brouillard quasi omniprésent. Même s’il est souvent « esthétique » (c’est à dire pas un effet brouillard N64, mais plus travaillé), on s’aperçoit des limites techniques du titre, surtout à la fin quand on peut se déplacer différemment (ne voulant pas spoiler). La console souffre à ce moment là et on sent le côté cross gen PS4 qui limite les choses

    - des bugs de missions sur la map (des trucs qui réapparaissent alors qu’on les a déjà fait)

    - les combats au corps à corps sont vraiment nuls, c’est un calvaire (aucune possibilité de locker son ennemie, ça devient n’importe quoi en combat rapproché)

    - Au niveau des cinématiques, ça manque encore du charisme ou de l’intensité d’émotions qu’on peut voir dans The Last Of Us par exemple.

    - l’arbre de compétence est très vite rempli, et on ne se sert jamais de toutes les options / armes qu’on débloque. Un truc plus condensé aurait été mieux

    - blocage au level 50. C’est con, pourquoi l’avoir limité ainsi alors que j’avais déjà ce level quasi à la moitié du jeu (vu que je fais le jeu à 100%, ça monte vite)
    l’escalade est perfectible.

    Au final, je le trouve meilleur que le 1er même s’ils ont peut être eu les yeux plus gros que le ventre techniquement. Ca reste le plus bel open world que j’ai fait avec un scénario que je trouve très intéressant et bien complet.

    Je pense que beaucoup de bugs et autres défauts techniques auraient pu être gommé si c’était un vrai jeu PS5. Le prochain Horizon devrait donc s’annoncer bluffant. Chapeau à Guerilla qui est vraiment monté en puissance ces dernières années.

    Je lui mettrais la note de 8.5 / 10. Les points manquants venant essentiellement des bugs à répétition, des combats au corps à corps totalement loupés (avis perso), de la dernière mission en dessous de mes espérances (surtout les derniers boss trop faciles) et des multitudes armes ou compétences qui ne servent finalement à rien. Pour le reste c’est du tout bon pour ceux qui aiment les jeux d’aventure dans un monde vaste, beau et diversifié, le tout avec un scénario que je trouve très bien construit.    … Expand

    The story is pretty great and the gameplay is amazing. The only thing holding a higher note are a few graphical blasphemies on performance mode. Other than that, if you have a playstation console, this is a mandatory title!

    The visuals are strikingly beautiful to say that visuals wow is an understatement.

The only negative about the graphics is that in performance mode the visuals suffer a bit though if you have the right settings resolution    A masterclass in open world design.

The only negative about the graphics is that in performance mode the visuals suffer a bit though if you have the right settings resolution is a great way to play the frame rate is stable. Hopefully the developers either fix performance mode a bit, or give us another mode, one with a higher frame rate than 30, but less than 60 and better graphical fidelity.

    On the point of side quests and npc. Unlike the previous game where npcs didn't have much of a personality, and side quests felt just like MMO fetch quests, the sequel tries to give the npcs a personality and side quests are rewarding now either giving you skill points or weapon/armor, npcs now have motion capture adding a whole level of immersion to the game no more weird scenes where the characters feel like androids having a malfunction.

    Unlike HZD where the world felt more like a checklist, the world feels amazing to explore with variety in side quests, and more interaction with how you do content like requiring you to solve different puzzles instead of just grabbing stuff and being on your way.

    The combat in HZD wasn’t bad, but it left much to be desired. Now there is more variety with melee combos, that also work in tandem with its shooting aspect. The combat is now a blast to play, and I honestly love it compared to HZD.

    In closing this game shouldn’t be missed if you love immersion, and great gameplay give this a try.

    Good game. Not ideal, there are questions to the plot. But the combat, the variety of mobs and bosses, the huge world and the atmosphere as a whole kept it strong. I spent 90 hours in the game, cleared the map by less than half, if you do everything that is, it will probably take the same amount of time. Made it platinum.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is truly incredible. I have never seen such a beautiful open world in all of my gaming adventures since the days of Skyrim. If you’re wondering whether or not you should play Zero Dawn first, the answer is YES. Its story is fantastic and so lore heavy that newcomers to the franchise would be overwhelmed if Forbidden West was their introduction to the series. This game’s quests are refreshingly engaging and story-driven. They don’t become repetitive like so many other games in the genre. I was thrilled when I learned we would have new mounts to ride, but I never would’ve guessed we’d be flying around on Sun Wings! That was such a pleasant surprise. The flying can be a bit janky and considerably slow, but I get that such elaborate environments take time to load into view. It’s also worth mentioning that the voice & motion-capture performances of the actors were out of this world! Everyone was incredible, but I think that Angela Bassett stole the show as the (initial) antagonist. Every scene with her character (Regalla) gave me chills. My only complaint with Forbidden West is the direction the story went. Zero Dawn did an amazing job toeing the line between reality & fiction, whereas FW takes a deep dive into sci-fi and it can be a little bit jarring from clones to aliens (I am exaggerating a bit). The surprise antagonists toward the end of the game just seemed poorly thought out. They weren’t present for very long, and the final battle was just bland compared to other moments in the game. We had no time to become emotionally invested in any of it. What’s worse is that the villain that gets set up for the next game seems even worse. I can’t help but think of the missed opportunity they had to bring back Ted Faro as the ultimate antagonist. Everybody wants a piece of that guy. What they did instead felt like the ultimate let down. And then there’s Gaia. I had always imagined that we would work toward the end goal of rebuilding Gaia and it would be the ultimate emotional payoff that would have us sobbing. Instead we revive her early in the game, and she & Aloy’s introduction is awkward and anticlimactic. It’s these aspects of the story that make me wonder whether or not the writers truly understood the themes they conveyed in the original game. Granted, it’s difficult to tell a compelling story after saving the world the first time. The stakes will never be higher. But griping aside, I absolutely loved playing this game and can’t get enough of its combat & machine variety. I love the complexity of how to fight something and where to hit it that seems inspired by games like Monster Hunter World. Everything about it was groundbreaking and blew me away overall (with the exception to the second half of the story). Nevertheless, I would strongly recommend it.… Expand

    Great game, worth buying. Story is fun and there is loads of optional stuff to also enjoy.
    The puzzles in this game aren't particularly great. It's always just something being in a hidden place which gets annoying. Why don't you just show me where everything in and then have a specific way of it going together? That is much more fun then just hiding something in a stupid place.

    There is a few bugs. Sometimes textures bugged and stuff aswell.
    Humans survive headshots (Hard difficulty). Surviving a headshot is just stupid. Why not just have stronger armour?
    This game also has way to much grinding. Like for example the arena has 20 rounds all must be completed within a certain time but the time isn't easy to beat at all so it's rinse and repeat. You should still receive rewards for the completion then lock a gold trophy behind the time limits. At the moment you get nothing unless you beat the time?
    I feel like most of the stuff in this game is stupidly long winded. I don't mind stuff that takes long but when everything takes long it gets boring and repetitive. If I wanted a long grindy game I would download an MMORPG. All of this is of course optional so you can just skip it and do main missions. But the best weapons in the game ten to be locked behind the grind content.
    Some machines don't feel as balanced either which is weird because this wasn't an issue on the 1st game. Like the Tremortusk is harder to kill then most of the bosses that you come across it after? The Tremortusk on 2 occasions has shot me down and continued to shoot me whilst I'm unable to move, completely wiping a full health bar? This is after being 15 levels higher then the quest to kill one?
    I do like allot of the balancing that's been added thou. Plus weapons now have their own unique elements rather then 1 size fits all like in the previous game. Coils are now a small bonus rather then making up for 75% of the weapon.
    You can now upgrade weapons giving you something extra to work towards if you want an aid on your journey. There is plenty more to do and explore.
    Side missions are now much improved rather then feeling like a longer errand like before. The game is great fun but I just wish the devs didn't wanna make everything be a grind. I know these things are optional but it's about finding the balance of what should be simple and what should be a long puzzle. It's like this game is Tomb Raider robot extinction addition.
    The story in this game does a great job in honouring the 1st game making sure that it remains consistent and doesn't completely forget about certain aspects. I always wanted to know what happens next. Allot of games tend to have a great start then just slowly spiral down hill but that is not the case with either of the horizon games. I highly recommend you play Zero Dawn before this one but you could get away with not doing so. But you will find this game far more fun if you do play the 1st one before.

    People also need to stop post bad reviews because Sony blocked the store in their region. This is not an issue with the game but an issue with Sony.    … Expand

I started the game on hard setting thinking yeah I got this and last night I injured my wrist from the 20 minutes I spent trying to take down a particular beast. if you love challenging fights then the hard modes of this game don't disappoint especially with the way you chew through the needed resources crafting ammunition but I digress.... The story is pretty much a direct continuation of Zero Dawn. It's beautiful to look at and beautiful to play. The release version seems to be a little buggy but not too bad, Alloy suffers from some facial anomalies akin to a stroke victim from time to time but nothing of consequence. I found bellowbacks front sacks were glitching in and out but they still exploded even though you appeared to be shooting nothing. I'm a completionist so I spend a lot of time on all the side quests which at times I find more entertaining than the main quest line and they offer great armour and weapon rewards. I have to say that the dialogue gets a bit tedious after a while. there is just soooo much of it. The open world is vast and can often seem empty but exploration is worth it when you find hidden places that contain much needed resources. I would give the game a 10 if it were not for just the little things that could have made it better. Controlling Aloy is sometimes awkward. she often gets stuck in a corner or jumps to far or when hit there is a delay before she will get up again probably to add to the realism. Some of the ammunition to resource costs are ridiculous. by far the worst aspect is that if you Die in a battle the beast rests with full health, weapons and armour whereas you reset with depleted munitions and resources. this makes no sense. These gripes are trivial to the epic job that the Dev's have done to bring this to life. Great game. Highly recommend.… Expand

    The game gives a chic gaming experience: 2 game modes give a choice - either the priority is given to the picture (4k 30 fps), or the frame rate (60 fps) I was more comfortable playing in 60 frames, although 4k mode also gives awesome emotions.

    Elaboration of side quests - reached a new level, they are interesting (although not all)
    Open world - I want to explore, settlements have become alive, cars have become more interesting, although globally this is still the first part with its own nuances

    The main plot did not give any emotions “Wow”, but the last scene made it possible to feel like a Superhero in the movie “Avengers Infinity War Finale”, which caused a smile.

    However, there are also disadvantages - the main one is close combat, the lack of a system of difficulties and cropped damage (moments - when you fall and just take damage without being able to get up)
    The biggest disadvantage is close combat - it is simply useless, since you do not get any advantages, rather, you even lose time and health, as well as nerves. 10 times out of 10 I will use a bow rather than melee. Moreover, the combinations raise enormous questions - since they often pass as if without the participation of the player - you press one, and you get something completely different.

    Summing up, I would like to note that Horizon Forbidden West is definitely a step forward in the field of Next Gene, I recommend everyone to get acquainted with the game - here you will definitely find something of your own (which is worth flying on robotic birds)    … Expand

    (Edit: Dropped this down to an 8 from a 9 after putting 60 hours into Elden Ring which is just masterful.)

    This was a pretty damn good game. Although, I think I could play it with out any of the dialogue and have about the same amount of fun. To be fair, I knew I would like it enough because Zero Dawn is the game that made me want to buy a PS4 a few years ago and still remains one of my favorites.

To be fair, I knew I would like it enough because Zero Dawn is the game that made me want to buy a PS4 a few years ago and still remains one of my favorites. I would rate the original higher because the core gameplay loop was really satisfying and fresh at the time, while i this game it could feel a bit stale on occasion. Some good alterations and additions (weapons, mounts, etc.), but I felt like the use of traps and planning out major battles that made the original so fun for me just wasn't the same in this game. That being said, it looked amazing on the PS4 and provided me what I wanted: many more hours of Horizon.… Expand

    Great game with brilliant graphics and amazing atmosphere. In my opinion, the plot is better than in the first part. Side quests are not equal but good to do them because there are rewards and new weapons. Big request to Guerilla Games, make a third 45fps mode with more resolution than the performance mode. There is currently too much difference in the resolution of 60fps. 10/10!

Замечательная игра, огромный открытый мир, наполненный разными машинами и красотой природы, не менее интересный сюжет про старую цивилизацию и возрождение людей.

    Phenomenal! A great sequel to Zero Dawn. This game series has climbed into my top 5. So many goosebumps and thrills. The side quests feel like main quest. Couldn't of asked for a better sequel. Thank you!

    The graphics of this game are unmatched. The environments and characters all look amazing. Gameplay is a huge step up from Horizon Zero dawn and the game has improved everything. Side quests are more interesting. There is more of an incentive to hunt down robots and target specific parts in order to get parts to upgrade or trade for weapons and armor.

The combat feels more smooth and more action packed than ever. This is what a sequel should be, an improvement to everything that was already great and everything that it lacked in. Unfortunately the story is just as boring as the previous one.… Expand

    Great graphics, fun gameplay, beautiful world, much more engaging cutscenes, more traversal and combat techniques. The story is worse than HZD and feel somewhat incomplete, also you will spend much of the game doing thing that feel uncosiquential by the end. I wished they focused more on the tribes and thier politics. Overall a great game

    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.
