    Sacar una nueva ip y que haya tenido este éxito, con este nivel de calidad es increíble. Esta segunda parte de Horizon mejora al primero, y eso que ya era difícil. Gráficamente el juego mas top de toda la generación sin duda, es un placer pararse a contemplar los escenarios.

    Мне очень понравилась эта игра. С удовольствием заработал платину исследовав всю карту. Потратил 171 час, прошел все квесты, улучшил всю броню и оружие. Не понравилось только играть в стычку.

    ai tempi di horizon zero dawn il mio giudizio era particolarmente discordante con quello che si leggeva, sentendo spesso delle critiche che personalmente a me non hanno per nulla pesato.
    quindi quando leggevo di horizon 2 forbidden west pareri generalmente positivi dove si parlava di un seguito che migliorava pressoché ogni aspetto le mie aspettative erano parecchio alte.
    ma ancora una    ai tempi di horizon zero dawn il mio giudizio era particolarmente discordante con quello che si leggeva, sentendo spesso delle critiche che personalmente a me non hanno per nulla pesato.
    quindi quando leggevo di horizon 2 forbidden west pareri generalmente positivi dove si parlava di un seguito che migliorava pressoché ogni aspetto le mie aspettative erano parecchio alte.
    ma ancora una volta mi devo trovare in disaccordo, trovando si questo seguito migliorato sotto alcuni aspetti, ma che ne ha peggiorati molti altri.
    le critiche principali del primo capitolo erano tutte incentrate su tre fattori.
    -combattimenti con umani non bellissimi, e concordo che qui sono migliori.
    -dialoghi con personaggi poco vivi, e concordo che è stato migliorato tantissimo.
    -parte centrale noiosa, cosa che non ho mai concordato.
    il primo horizon l'ho sempre trovato speciale per il mondo che era riuscito a creare, e tornare in questa nuova avventura si sente che l'effetto novità è stato meno impattante, dato che è un seguito di qualcosa di già noto, e per riuscire a risplendere avrebbe dovuto osare molto di più.
    ma i problemi non sono solo per il mancato effetto novità.
    partendo già dal suo prologo potrà essere lampante che qualcosa è andato storto, con un prologo decisamente più sottotono rispetto al bellissimo inizio del primo horizon.
    ma anche una volta terminata quella parte il titolo non riuscirà quasi mai a raggiungere il livello del primo capitolo.
    con una sorta di caccia al tesoro dove dovremo esplorare in lungo e in largo la mappa di gioco, e questi tre obiettivi che dovremo raggiungere mi hanno lasciato decisamente meno, ad eccezione della parte desertica dove sembrano concentrate tutte le belle idee del titolo, rendendo le altre quasi come una specie di riempitivo.
    non ho anche apprezzato alcune idee di trama tipo il nuovo nemico o altre cose molto fantasiose che sembrano apparse semplicemente dal nulla senza una giustificazione.
    ma fortunatamente la parte narrativa si salva grazie al grande passo avanti fatto nella qualità dei dialoghi, e con una grande approfondimento di alcuni compagni con la quale potremo parlare nella nostra base.
    anche la semplice esplorazione del mondo di gioco ha dei grossi problemi, dato che la mappa sarà disseminata da punti di domanda, che molto spesso una volta raggiunti ci verrà detto che per proseguire in questa zona ti serve oggetto x che si sblocca più avanti.
    alla decima volta che ti accade la voglia di esplorare è scesa pressoché a zero, facendomi concentrare di più sulla narrativa.
    anche le nuove macchine aggiunte non sono sempre il massimo da affrontare, puntando molto di più su creature che ci combatteranno in due modi.il primo le macchine aggressive che si lanceranno contro di noi, facendo anche spesso impazzire la telecamera.
    mentre il secondo tipo di attacchi saranno proiettili esplosivi giganteschi che faranno una grossa zona di danno, dove spesso e volentieri ti colpiranno anche dietro delle coperture.
    fortunatamente il combattimento generale è stato migliorato, ma appunto non sempre saremo invogliati ad affrontare le macchine più resistenti.
    il gioco inoltre ha aggiunto sia in combattimento sia nelle parti esplorative un rampino, e una sorta di paravela tipo quella di zelda per planare liberamente.
    il gioco ha aggiunto anche tante nuove armi e vestiti, ma in particolare questi ultimi si distingueranno di meno rispetto il primo capitolo, rendendo quasi inutili cambiarli.
    per non parlare dell'albero delle abilità, dove sembra quasi ininfluente ottenere nuove abilità, ritrovandomi spesso con decine di punti da usare, che una volta usati non mi hanno cambiato di nulla quello che posso fare.
    se però può sembrarvi che sia un parere solo critico in realtà non lo è affatto.il gioco continua ad avere le basi di horizon zero dawn che è un titolo che ho amato, ma proprio per tutte queste motivazioni mi aspettavo molto di più da questo seguito, che a conti fatti me lo ricorderò come un capitolo di mezzo che scorre via senza eccellere e senza deludere, ma che lascia davvero ben poco rispetto a quello che poteva e anzi doveva fare.

    I have spent over 150 hours in this game and still find enjoyment. The world is absolutely beautiful and such a joy to explore. Newgame+ is as good as they come and burning shores was a fun add on, even if short. I will continue to come back to this game. OH and what an incredible showcase of whT the ps5 is capable of from a graphical standpoint the new locked 60fps mode is top notch.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Insane graphics in this game. Probably the best video game in terms of the visuals, the graphics and the beauty itself. God of War took the spotlight when this game came out but everyone must experiece this masterpiece on PS5. Wayyyy better than Hogwarts ' Jack of all, Master of None' Legacy. That piece of garbage was repetitive with cringe voice acting and annoying main story line. Like who tf cares about your useless trial. The goblins are attacking. I have to stop. This is not a review for that embarrasement of a game.… Expand

    Horizon Forbidden West is, without any hyperbole, an absolute masterpiece, and it sets a new benchmark for graphical quality across all platforms, including PC.

    In Forbidden West, the developers have outdone themselves, surpassing the already impressive foundations set by its predecessor, Horizon Zero Dawn. The intricate details present in the expansive open-world, the elaborate design of the robotic foes, and the breathtaking sequences all speak to the game's significant advancement in graphical fidelity. The stunning visuals and intricate detailing make it feel as if you are exploring a real, living world. The landscape, from the forbidding wilderness to the remnants of past civilizations like the Golden Gate Bridge, is gorgeously rendered, making each moment of exploration a true joy​​.

    The characters, too, are exceptionally well-realized, both in terms of graphics and the performances of the actors. Every individual you encounter, whether they're central to the story or just passing by, is meticulously crafted. This dedication to detail enhances the believability of the world, allowing the player to become fully immersed in the narrative​1.

    The game's narrative itself is engaging and full of twists and turns, keeping players guessing right until the end. The character-centric drama is well-balanced with world-building, making for a more coherent and compelling story than its predecessor. The personal dramas and political conflicts create a tense backdrop for Aloy's journey, and the side quests are equally captivating, adding depth to the world and its inhabitants​.

    However, what sets Horizon Forbidden West apart from other games is not just its extraordinary graphics, but also the scale and ambition of its design. The game's world is vast and filled with variety, from the "Witcher-like" settlements to the variety of missions and side quests. All of this contributes to a genuine sense of exploration and adventure​1​.

    In summary, Horizon Forbidden West is a groundbreaking achievement in gaming. It's not just a visual spectacle, but a riveting, well-constructed narrative set in a beautifully realized world. This game is truly a graphical masterpiece, setting a new high standard for future games across all platforms. A must-play for any gaming enthusiast.    … Expand

    1 voto in meno rispetto al primo capitolo solamente perche a livello di storia non poteva raggiungerlo, per ovvi motivi, ma poi il resto è migliore in tutto, dall'ottimo gampleay del primo ulteriormente migliorato, dall'openworld, dalle animazioni facciali e dalla grafica spaccamascella. Gioco da giocare.

    This game is so much better than its predecessor. They added everything I lacked in the previous game. The visuals are stunning, the side quests are unique and interesting (except for errands), the characters are well written and the plot is amazing. I really wonder how they turned from ruins exploring to such a strong plot

    The original Zero dawn release was impressive and very hard to stop playing because of the great attention to detail and game balance between equipment and prey. But they have improved on that original and created something much larger in scale with a great story and new characters to help you on your travels.

    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.
