    Amazing game. It builds on what made HZD great and adds to it. Definitely worth the purchase if you liked the first one. Don’t listen to the negative reviews, they probably haven’t even played the game yet

    Mais uma vez a Guerrila Games mostrando seu potencial, um jogo extremamente detalhado, os gráficos no PS5 estão surreais, mesmo o jogo sendo cross-gen. A jogabilidade que já era excelente no primeiro jogo, está muito mais elaborada, enredo muito envolvente, novas mecânicas implementadas.

    With 40-ish hours into the game I cannot say more great things about it. This is everything I wanted from the sequel. You will find better quests, a more dynamic weather and combat system and everything else from Zero Dawn has been improved upon. I have to give special props to the motion capture tech, actors and the facial animators; the animations and facial features all are top notch.

I also love how they gave so many different memorable characters their own attitude. Some characters will be snarky, some will be lovable from the start while others will be funny as hell. This is a 10/10 for me. I love this game, I do wish that soon I will be able to play it on my PC. The 4k 60/120 fps with DLSS needs to happen!… Expand

    Forbidden West improves on the original in almost every conceivable way. With twists and turns that keep be players invested in the sci-fi plot while being free to roam a world full of side quests and secrets. The combat and mechanics are solid yet fluid and the visuals are to die for. An amazing feat!

    If you are a fan of Horizon Zero Dawn, this sequel builds on the first installment in ever way possible.
    The visuals are stunning, the gameplay is smooth and the story is addictive. Even the side quests are fantastic.
    Combat can occasionally still feel rather clunky and I've experienced some pop in with trees, etc in the open world. But this game is superb and I recommend it to anyone.

Mind blowing graphical beauty, extremely lifelike character animations in conversations, sophisticated combat and unique skill tree options, intriguing story and of course Aloy, the somewhat meek and goofy yet so utterly lovable Nora girl-genius-champion-savior.

Mind blowing graphical beauty, extremely lifelike character animations in conversations, sophisticated combat and unique skill tree options, intriguing story and of course Aloy, the somewhat meek and goofy yet so utterly lovable Nora girl-genius-champion-savior. Not everything is perfect. The minigame, “Machine Strike”, isn’t nearly as good as the one in the Final Fantasy 7 remake expansion, or even The Witcher III’s surprisingly awesome “Gwent”. If the pieces animated like “real” machines or something, it might be better. It’s just a bit boring, and it’s hard to make our which pieces are which even on a 50” 4k tv. That’s so minor though- who cares, you don’t have to play it. The game would be a 10 if there weren’t a few things that lacked polish, and a few more bugs than I typically see in a Sony first party game. Usually you can depend on nearly flawless games on day 1, as it should be. However, they’re not anywhere near game breaking or experience ruining. There are just a couple of things where you’re like, huh, this might have been a bit rushed. Blame the pandemic. Anyway, Forbidden West has much more to see and do than Zero Dawn, and while it lacks some of the mystery in Aloy’s outcast beginnings and the history of the machines, once the game opens up beyond the starting area you begin to understand the scope of changes for the better. Once you’re gliding down from those cliffs with your shieldwing and you’ve spent enough skill points, you’ll get it.… Expand

Aloy ventures into a new land that was mentioned before in zero dawn. Bringing new clans and enemies with a lot on new robots. It’s great.

More than once I was in complete awe of the technical achievements, the fantastic twists in the story, and breathtaking scenery, the extraordinary creatures, and brilliant performances. For each shortfall I found in Zero Dawn, Forbidden West has an answer that I love, or at the very least appreciate.

    The story is absolutely captivating. For the best experience, it is absolutely worth playing Horizon Zero Dawn, and for those who played it many years ago, worth jump in for a few hours for a refresh. The story of Forbidden West picks up directly after Zero Dawn, and though it does an excellent job of catching the player up on the overarching story beats, remembering the finer details and characters will make the sequel that much more impactful. Plus, being able to recognise the massive leap in technical quality also makes for an even more enjoyable experience.

    Of everything I am impressed by, the story is right up there. I am not forgiving of excessive cutscenes as a crutch for games, but every cutscene felt fruitful and seamlessly integrated, and more than once I found myself lost in the performances of the cast.

    I felt a strong pang of affection and admiration as the opening credits rolled, a feeling that persists as I play now 25 hours in. What Guerrilla have achieved is nothing short of a miracle, and I have enormous respect for the team that put this game in my hands.

    Note: despite reports of bugs and pop in, I only experienced 1 minor bug and 1 instance of pop in when racing. Otherwise, the game runs seamlessly on my PS5.    … Expand

Seriously, the characters look so incredible. The mocap is some of the best I've seen especially considering this isn't a linear action game but a massive ARPG. I have seen complaints about there's too many options and skills trees and I think that is a very silly thing to be critical of. The point of so many options is to let people play how they want to play. You don't HAVE to do everything. Pick the play style that is most fun and excel in that way and don't worry about all the options. Simple as. I really hope the developers don't listen to dumb criticisms like that and understand the vast majority of people absolutely love this game.

But overall, its absolutely superb and I have not ran into any performance problems on the PS5 (running Performance Mode). Its much like the first except improved in nearly EVERY way possible. The narrative is solid. Characters are memorable and well done (though this can be subjective). Combat is even better and so satisfying. Graphics and physics are amazing! The world has SOOOO much detail and realism to it with the wind, the physics and how objects interact, the animations....everythings just feels immersive and excellent.

    There is a CRAP LOAD of unique content. Youre looking at a main story with side quests that take about 45 to 55 hours. But then probably another minimum of 30 hours of additional content. You could easily get lost in the world of Horizon for 80 hours minimum. 43 different machines all with subcategories and also a variety of Human enemies....just mind boggling to see a "vanilla" release game have this level of content thats not reused assets over and over.

    And my God! There is Gyro Aim!

    This makes the combat that much better once you get use to it. Its much more intuitive and easier to aim at specific parts quickly while moving.

    If GG can just clean up some of the bugs, improve a bit more the climbing and parkour (a little bit clunky right now) elements along with maybe how scavenging works, game would be a super strong contender for GOTY. Granted, it already should be up for nomination. I highly recommend this game.    … Expand

    I've only played 8 hours but I'm doing every side quest, every errand, every mission. All of these are so well created and the incredibly detailed models of characters and cutscenes make them even more enjoyable. That I like as the previous game didn't have too many interesting quests. I'm not saying every quest is entertaining but even the ones which cause you more trouble are very rewarding as well. I also loved the addition of the valor surge abilites, which I can't wait to discover in combat. And the special gear like the Pullcaster is greatly introduced here. I can spend so much time just using the Pullcaster and the Shieldwing because they are so fun. Everything in this game is. So please, if by chance this game catches your interest, do not hesitate to get it. I promise it will be worth it.    … Expand

Beginning with the graphics ... wow, this is the best-looking game I have seen next to Cyberpunk on an RTX 3080. The character models are superb, the environmental design is absolutely gorgeous, and the art direction is occasionally a bit oversaturated, but mostly breathtaking. That being said, I have seen a pop-in bug (I spoke with a merchant's floating head for a time before the rest of his body joined in), but this was the first bug I experienced in about 15 hours of play. Forgivable considering how much this game has pushed the envelope. I definitely recommend the performance mode; 60 fps should be the standard in a game like this. Consequentially, you will get somewhat of a grainy look due to checkerboard rendering, which is again fine considering the quality of visuals on display. The PS5 cannot run this at a full 4K 60fps.

    The new element this game brings to the table which I haven't seen done to the same extent on any game to date is the acting conveyed with gestures, eye movements, and body language. Horizon sets the new bar for gestured interactions and its effect on story telling cannot be understated. Its set pieces play more like a well-directed movie than a video game. The story thus far also seems to be superb. Internally, this game focuses on Aloy's self-and-life-inflicted title to be a savior of the world and how growing up as an outcast with a real knowledge of what their world is automatically distances her from everyone. Externally, you see her and old friends interact as warring factions, including some from very advanced civilizations, fight for their reasons, while Aloy fights for the planet. The story telling is excellent and they do a superb job of having emotional set-pieces, making new worlds and encounters have completely different emotional notes, again more like a well-directed movie than a video game. The side quests are about the closest thing I have seen to Witcher level story telling; they take time to develop, have wonderful dialog and voice acting, and are interesting from a gameplay perspective.

    In regard to the gameplay, it mostly recycles the familiar formula from Horizon: skilled third person-based mini-boss encounters. You pick from Aloy's assortment of bows and land skilled shots while dodging some of the best enemy AI I have encountered. I would say the combat is somewhere between the realms of Monster Hunter World and Destiny. It is, in my opinion, the best combat system I have experienced in an open world game.    … Expand

    Magnífico, História formidável, e grande evolução comparado a HZD. Aloy se tornou uma grande personagem, o jogo tem várias novidades e o mapa extremamente grande. Com 20 horas de jogo ainda não cheguei na metade, as animações dos personagens e npc estão em outro nível nunca antes visto em qualquer jogo.

    An amazingly fun, well polished, and beautiful game. Aloy is a fantastic protagonist and the twists and turns had me hooked. There are so many new, cool robot creatures to fight and control. Pick it up. It's worth the money.

    I literally had to stop myself from playing. The game is well done so far at around 12 hours in.
    I recommended following the main story path for the first 8 to 10 hours to unlock critical features.
    Story and pacing are well done so far and I have only experienced minimal bugs.

    About eight hours in,

    There's still some issues:

    -people talking over themselves
    -a warrior can't block attacks
    -climbing is much better..but i still say theres room for improvement
    etc etc

    This is a massive improvement, though.

    90% of the issues I could think of a month ago have been dealt with (melee combat, inventory, graphics, variety, traversal, etc)

    So far, 8/10

Ignore all the people review bombing. They keep copy and pasting the same one star reviews because they’re sad Xbox fan boys who are 12 and mad they can’t play the game so they review bomb it. Even though the only people they hurt with that are innocent devs who made an amazing game. And worked very hard for many years. I was afraid this game would just feel like a dlc of zero Dawn. But it’s not. Completely new graphics. They redid a model for Rost from the last game…in the main menu, not a spoiler, and he looks like a totally different person just because the graphics are so much more realistic he looks like he could actually be a real person now. Way more so than before. It’s really put into perspective how much the graphics have improved. Melee is way way better. Adaptive triggers and haptic feedback on ps5 are a nice touch and not as gimmicky as I thought originally. Really adds immersion. I’m 31 and female and I’m so glad I got back into gaming a few years back to enjoy titles like this and God of War.… 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.
