    Sigue manteniendo una historia super interesante, y coherente con su antecesor, tiene nuevas dinamicas de juego, las nuevas maquinas y sus movimientos estan super bien diseñados y presentan un nuevo reto, la complejidad de cada rincon en el juego es miy alta, todos los personajes inclusive los npcs estan completamente bien diseñados y sus movimientos son muy naturales

    Forbidden West is a masterpiece!

    Tbh, I hate the 1st game - ZD since the facial animation is rough & the story is kinda boring with too many redundant conversations. So, I didn't know why I bought this sequel. But after 12 hours of playing, I absorb myself into it. - The facial animation was improved a lots - The environment is absolutely stunning. Especially, in the 1st time I saw

    - The facial animation was improved a lots
    - The environment is absolutely stunning. Especially, in the 1st time I saw Las Vegas light it's was jaw-dropping. Love it!
    - The story is still not attractive but it's better than ZD. The side missions are interesting.
    - The combat is very awesome. I enjoy it much

    Hope the developers make some romances in Horizon 3. I'm looking forward to have a serious relationship with Kotallo

    Amazing world. So much effort put into crafting this GORGEOUS experience.certainly the best looking open world out there by a long shot. The story is also good (who the hell is saying it isn’t) and queued up for a trilogy finishing sequel. HFW runs smooth and never feels like I need to grind to advance. I especially love how melee has been vastly improved. 10/10

    Started this game with high expectations and oh boy did it exceed them. An amazing continuation of the story and an absolutely beautiful game. I'd score more if I could

    Had no issues running it at all on PS4 apart from the occasional loading screen which can easily be looked past.

The story leads on immediately from Zero Dawn in a great way, and I am looking forward to seeing what the story will uncover next! There looks to be an abundance of side-quests and other missions/tasks, as well as customisations and options for multiple styles of play!
    Definitely worth a pickup for any RPG fan, but especially for fans of the first game!

    La direction artistique est ahurissante; quel plaisir de parcourir le nouveau monde aux paysages iconiques parsemés de ruines de machines anciennes tels que des corrupteurs ou des Horus: un monde (le nouveau après mille ans) dans un autre (celui des anciens)!
    Les musiques sont somptueuses. Elles transcendent l'ambiance de façon onirique ce qui rend l'expérience très immersive. J'y inclue l'introduction qui était, à mon sens, un subtil mélange entre tutoriel et un jeu de couloir où la mise en scène compte plus que tout. L'introduction prend son temps sans nul doute!
    Le gameplay est très réussi et par conséquent jouissif quoique assez proche de Horizon ZD mais il fait tellement mieux sur tous les points qu'on peut pas le reléguer au second plan.

    Pour ma part, et c'est purement subjectif, je regrette un seul aspect du jeu qui est lié au lore de l'univers Horizon. En comparaison avec Horizon ZD il y a un net manque de détails autour de certains lieux mais aussi autour de plusieurs personnages alors dans Horizon ZD chaque ruines des anciens comportaient son lot de données à collecter, et de "secret" (j'entends par là des annexes purement optionnelles mais qui donnaient corps, cohérence et force à tout un monde): chez Faro Automate on découvrait les vraies nom des portes-mort ou des titans de métal (Horus BOR7!) ou encore une archive du service juridique de l'entreprise s’inquiétant des premières images de la colonie FARO, mise en ligne sur les réseaux, entrain de dévorer la biosphère! De manière ultra détaillé et très étoffé, la façon dont les Alpha ont été recruté et le suivi (ou le contrôle...) psychologique dont ils ont été l'objet. Enfin, dans une autre ruine, l'existence d'une mission spatiale ayant pour but d'établir une nouvelle colonie pour sauvegarder l'espèce humaine si Aube Zéro échouait!...
    Chaque ruines recélaient "ses secrets" et de sa propre histoire ce qui contribuait à étoffer grandement le monde de Horizon (et à renforcer sa cohérence!!)! Pour Horizon FW on est très loin de ce niveau de détails. C'est mon seul regret. Il est purement personnel le jeu reste très bon pour les amateurs d'open world.

    Only about 4 hours into the game, but it's obviously a step up from already one the Playstation's best titles in Zero Dawn. Beyond excited to be immersed in this amazing world! People who are posting a 0/10 seem to be extremists because any sane human being who's ever played a video game in their life would see agree that this title isn't deserving of such harsh negativity. If you think the story is unimaginative you clearly aren't paying attention. The controls take some time to get used to, true. But like any other game, you simply have to spend the necessary time to master the nuanced changes made from the original to utilize them effectively. I play the game on the highest difficulty setting and the reward for mastering the controls is a challenging combat experience that requires facility to appreciate. Don't listen to the negativity.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This goes right in my top 3. The game is amazing and Guerrilla has done a colossal work with this title. The creatures concepts are amazing, the landscapes are stunning, the soundtrack is just perfect, the story is way better than the first chapter (which was a very good one itself), pngs behaviours and dialogues are well written and the gameplay is really well managed. Also the mood given to the whole world and single areas is beautifully immersive. I gave it a 9 out of 10 just because of the main quest’s finale, in which i found the bossfight motivation a little bit trite. Also it was a pity that the story has a cliffhanger for a third chapter: in my opinion it could be ended with this second chapter and it could have been a perfect conclusion for the entire Aloy’s journey.

    Gráficos sublimes con una jugabilidad perfecta. En mi caso, solo encontré uno o dos bugs menores de salida, por lo que los "fallos" de internet no me afectaron.

    This review is with 20 hours under my belt over the last three days. And this is off 478h in H:ZD.
    First up is is simply drop dead beautiful. The amount of detail underfoot can NOT be understated. and even in resolution mode it runs solidly. (but TBF I was never one to subscribe to 60fps as a necessity)

    The characters and animations are vastly improved from the first one, especially the NPCs With Chainscrape's Cook and the Seriously annoyed/'done with it' Carja Soldier being highlights. And the writing/acting has has me laughing out loud on several occasions, which is not something I expected to be doing much of seeing how dark and depressing H:ZD's story was. Also Boomer worries me. (you'll see)

    Gameplay wise it's a case of same but different.

    I was disappointed to find that the 'lure' skill doesn't seem to be in existence any more. You get a lot of the old skills as default (like critical strike and silent strike...) so I really wanted to get back to lurking in the tall grass luring machines away from the heard to take them out silently. But no.

    I've actually come to the conclusion that this is a brilliant move as it makes separating and isolating machines more a matter of understanding how the machines act. you have to observe them and note how they respond to thinking they've seen something. You can use rocks (and the new inventory system means you are not gonna run out of rocks) to attract their attention, or just pop your head up when it's looking in your direction before taking cover again this will peek its curiosity and it could well stroll over to have a better look. This change for the better is also applicable to removal of the 'stealthomiter' (the are you hidden and how much noise are you making indicator). you can never be 100% certain you are fully hidden or that you are making minimal noise, and TBH that is how it should be.

    Anyway It's a Great game and will be a generation defining one.

    The improvment over the first are so numerous that my review cannot contains everything... I also wanna apologize for my non native english. It's not my primary langage so I'll try my best.

    Let's start with some physics. Ennemies have now more movements and mechanics. The machine are also more complex and detailed. Same for Alloy she's incredibly more dynamic she moves more instead of just rolling in front of her in different directions like in HZD now she actually moves her body to the left and right instead of always the same canned animation. She also go over the top of rocks with is arms and many other things we didn't had in HZD. The interaction with the environments is also day and night for the machines and everything they do.

    There's more effects in your controller especially when playing on ps5. The haptic feedback make you feel everything surrounding you explosions, footstep, enemies shooting at you. You can feel it all over the controller unlike HZD where it was just a basic vibration. Actually it's not fair to compare with HZD since the game doesn't had the haptic feedback technology but even if you play on a ps4 you'll see there's much more feedback in every department of the game.

    Bows shooting mechanic and sounds were trash in HZD. The sound and feeling when shooting an arrow was clunky and this too big white line effect following arrows was unrealistic and very annoying. Now they changed the mechanic to make it more satisfying. The sounds of the bow when shooting isn't the same anymore it's closer to a real bow and just better done. It's also insane to see the bow shaking right after shooting an arrow. No more big white line effect following arrows now. This effect is still there but not as vivid and big likwle the first one and that's why its so much more satisfying in HFW. It was my major complaint in HZD cuz those details are very important to me. There's also the adaptadive trigger who makes the shooting so damn satisfying. There's a pressure when pushing r2 plus a solid vibration when releasing the arrows just like it would be in real life. Again it's not fair to compare ps4 version and ps5 version but again even on a ps4 the bow shooting mechanic are better. Sounds and reaction of bow and the arrows flying to ennemies and all those stuff well you don't need a ps5 to see that. But the best way to play that masterpiece is obviously with the ps5. Shooting with a bow in a third person view game never been that satisfying.

    Melee attack animation are different now. She swimg all over the place her spear faster with more brutality and the sound of metal it make when hitting a machine GODDAMN IT.. Jesus **** Christ... What an improved sound. But one thing I dislike is that she slide to enemies when she's at 3 meters from them when you do a melee attack that's my only complaint about melee attack.

    Graphics textures lightning effects are obviously improved. Despite a problem with the resolution on performance mode graphics and details still better than HZD and probably one of the most beautiful game out there. When they will patch the resolution problem the graphics will be even better I can't imagine how insanely crazy it will be.

    I will stop here cuz I can't just continue there's too much things I could say about it. First game was good but it's one of those rare case where absolutely everything is better in the sequel.

    My real note is a 9/10 but I put a 10 just to increase the score cuz all the troll who put ridiculous note like 5 or 0. Probably lot of Xbox fanboy in those notes.

    Never mind the console wars dumbasses review bombing the game without even looking at it.
    The game is an advance on the original in every single aspect. The story is a natural sequel, and as in the first, solid, well written, and without plot holes, "magic" or gray areas. Just solid Science Fiction writing that would shine even as a book. The acting is solid and very convincing.
    A heartfelt 10.

    Horizon Forbidden West é uma grande melhora comparado ao jogo anterior da saga. Missões secundárias foram melhoradas e não estão incansavelmente chatas e repetitivas, fora o sistema de nado em baixo da água que é simplesmente extremamente bem feito.

    Es una maravilla. Si te gustó el primero, este lo consigue mejorar. Además podéis verlo en las demás opiniones. La gente solo quiere votarle 0 para bajarle la puntuación. Es bastante penoso
    Se ve de alucine y encima las conversaciones con los npcs están mucho más vivas que en el primero.
    Por no hablar de lo curradas que están las misiones secundarias. Una muy buena secuela

The different tribes and some of them revering their ancestors or the machines is interesting, as is seeing the landmarks of America after the destruction of the world. The music is good, although it tends to be dramatic sometimes, the sounds of nature add a lot, the voice performance is generally good, especially Aloy, and the scenes are only flawed by the expressions of the characters sometimes and the fact that some of the dialogues are clumsy. Machine combat is also unique, each machine has weaknesses and shields that you can destroy and even use the weapons on the machines. You always have the option of stealth, as well as your spear, various arrows and traps, and after you get the ability you can even tame them and fight with them. There is a great diversity in the environment, there are forests, snowy areas, deserts, rocky areas, tropical forests, beaches, and the cycle of night and day gives beautiful views, especially dawn and sunset, and you can move around this world walking, climbing, riding, swimming and even diving. The game covers everything we're used to, there's stealth and fighting humans and machines, there's riding machines and using the sail to get off the hills (though rarely needed), hook, puzzles, and an open world with side missions, challenges, and mini-games. There is also a gathering of supplies and the manufacture of stocks and tools. You have a hall and gather allies as the game progresses, it is your main center and evolves with time. It's a touch we've seen in games like Guardians of the Galaxy and Mass Effect and gives you a greater connection to the game world. In it you constantly discuss with your allies and help them in their missions. Negatives The game lacks refinement compared to other publisher games, the graphics are not as clean as Ratchet & Clank games, Ghost of Tsushima and some details, such as grass or sunlight between trees or entire objects such as a gate, appear and disappear suddenly when you approach it, there are also some technical errors such as the lack of a button On-screen interaction despite his work, was not smooth at the beginning of the movie scenes and my character was stuck more than once in the world. The combat may be the highlight of this game, but fighting the bosses, usually several machines in an enclosed space, gets frustrating sometimes due to the angle of the camera and the fact that some of the blows may come from outside the camera angle. Also, fighting humans is not fun and doesn't present a challenge, but it improves a bit after you unlock advanced abilities. It is worth to be mentioned The language supports the Arabic language as texts and sounds, which is a good translation, albeit sometimes literal, but like English, you need to activate the black background so that it becomes readable in dull scenes, while the dubbing is, as expected, below par. I also noticed that the dialogue sometimes differs from the written text. There are two graphics modes on the PlayStation 5, and the performance mode is my favorite, while on the PlayStation 4 there is only one with a performance of 30 frames per second, except for the performance, the graphics are excellent, and you can move your storage from the 5th to the 4th and not vice versa. There are a lot of difficulty and "Accessibility" options, including removing most of the tags that help you play, and make the experience better but Horizon Forbidden West doesn't give you the feeling that it was designed for this.

The dialogue and animation is one of the main improvements in this game especially when it comes to side quests. They really did put depth into these quests and didn’t just halfass it like the first game.

    Takes all the problems of the first game and fixes them.

The gameplay is fantastic and you really have to master the different systems to effectively play on the hardest difficulty.

    Graphics are better, side quests are improved, some quality of life features like more slots on weapons wheel and crafting without needing menus.

    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.
