    So far, this is my game of the year. It's a beautiful mix of Ghost of Tsushima and Red Dead Redemption 2. A must see.

    cosas que me pasaron fue un poco de popping al inciar la primer cinematica donde te muestra el nombre de em titulo, bugs no he tenido de momento, no me agrdo mucho el tener que marcar los puntos donde puedes escalar, la niebla para mi no es un problema pero si se nota algunas zonas que la gienen en exceso, las maquinas son geniales y las peleas me gustaron mucho, es una buena compra de momento, aunque siento que le falto ambicion a Guerrilla.

    Absolutely love this game. I haven't fully finished it yet but have about 22 hours in. My two gripes are climbing feels off and it can feel weird to aim at times as the arrow doesn't go directly where the crosshair is pointing. I feel they have improved on everything and have made an absolute beautiful game. Can't wait to see what else it has to show me.

There are **** posts of people organizing this and it’s sad. Developers spend years making these games and fanboys give it a zero?! You can tell what’s fake and what isn’t…even some of the lengthy detailed post are designed to trick you into believing the person actually played the game, which they didn’t. There’s also a bunch of people hating without playing simply because the main character is a female, sad but true. So many misogynistic comments on Reddit and twitter…

    Meta critic needs to verify people actually own and have played these games. It’s easy for anyone to make an account and post a review, there are no checks in place to verify ownership and user validity. With all that said, please disregard these reviews from sad pathetic people with nothing better to do.

    As for the game, it’s amazing. The detail is outstanding, every scene is dense and packed. The story is intense and very deep, you will find yourself drawn to the story and loving the cutscenes. The side quests are just as addicting. The new traversal mechanics make the game so much fun. This game steps it up from Zero Dawn in every way. PLEASE give this game a chance, it’s a masterpiece and shows why Guerrilla is one of the best studios out there.

The game improves on almost every aspect. The machines themselves were always fascinating to me so I’m always trying to explore and find out more about how this world came to be. The graphics are on another level, I find myself just standing on top of mountains or buildings just to enjoy the view. Games like Spider-man, Ghost of Tsushima, Uncharted, God Of War, Gran Turismo & Horizon are the main reason why I always come back to Playstation. I always get what I pay for unlike many unfinished games that I regret touching in the past 3-4 years more than anything. Gaming has been going downhill with the release now & fix later mindset. At this point I’m only really excited for Sony first party games because you can clearly see how much care & attention goes into these games, no micro-transactions & games are identical to the previews/trailers. I’m only 7 hours into Forbidden Wests story & around 3 hours just exploring & fighting machines. I’m a picky person when it comes to the pace of the story but here I’ve had nothing but fun playing the game & I’ve only played for 10 hours., it was worth every penny for me & these are the type of games I would recommend to my friends/family. Now a message to Xboys who can’t stand seeing Playstation gamers happy & stick “Gamepass” in every conversation because thats all they have: Go Enjoy your “Halo” that is micro-transaction filled & milks you for every customization option, Enjoy your rentals on Gamepass, Enjoy scrolling through Google maps in Flight Sim, Enjoy the only good game you got in the last year+ of owning an Xbox Series X/S which is FH5 & Enjoy review bombing every Playstation game because you’re childish & can’t admit that the only focus of your Black Box is to milk you monthly for mostly old & maybe 4 new games.

    Horizon Forbidden West достойное продолжение Zero Dawn, она во всё превосходит первую часть. Боевая система притерпела немало изменений, открытый мир стал более живым. И самое главное, за что ругали первую часть - побочные задания! В сиквеле их стало интересно проходить и более того, они срежиссированы почти как основные задания.Horizon Forbidden West достойное продолжение Zero Dawn, она во всё превосходит первую часть.

    -small graphical bugs like pop ups or flickering
    -combat not really improved compared to 1
    -having to reunlock abilities you already had in the first game, making it feel more of the same.
    -30fps in 4k mode is a hard price to pay for the beautiful graphics in this game.

    It looks like its going to be a long journey.

    I would give it a 9.5/10 but given it cant be done and its not perfect I’ll give it a 9, hopefully soon it’ll become a 10.

    Jogo lindo, simplesmente fantástico!! Mais uma obra prima da Sony. Fico triste por pessoas dando nota zero só pq não tem na plataforma predileta, é muita infantilidade.

    Overall “The Forbidden West” feels like a perfect sequel. Every element of the first game was improved: side quests are much more interesting and offer worthy rewards, NPCs have very detailed models and are well animated, open-world activities now offer great variety. The gameplay is more or less the same as in “Zero Dawn”, though expanded with some pretty neat gadgets (btw feelsOverall “The Forbidden West” feels like a perfect sequel.

    Gran juego con una gran jugabilidad y unos gráficos alucinantes.
    Lastima esos pequeños bugs, pero bueno es normal en semejante animalada de juego.
    Lo estoy disfrutando mucho.

    Studio Guerilla Games has done an impressive job developing the world of Horizon, and after playing about 15 hours of main and side missions and exploring the beautiful world, I noticed that the features that I loved in the first part were developed and improved in Forbidden West in addition to amazing graphics and sounds and a very good story of building Characters and sequence of events.Studio Guerilla Games has done an impressive job developing the world of Horizon, and after playing about 15 hours of main and side missions and exploring the beautiful world, I noticed that the features that I loved in the first part were developed and improved in Forbidden West in addition to amazing graphics and sounds and a very good story of building Characters and sequence of events.

    Although I haven't finished the game yet
    Neither the main nor the side missions

El diseños de los personajes todos, incluidos los NPC es soberbio, presume de los mejores gráficos hasta el momento, no es broma. Aunque muchas cosas parecen recicladas como los iconos, animaciones de Aloy y poses de fotografía parece un juego continuista o familiar depende como lo veas, pero como dicen si no está roto.... Por otra parte el mapa es muy grande con muchísimas actividades por hacer. Las bestias mecánicas son espectaculares por decir lo menos. Podría agregar mucho más pero no soy experto y el espacio es poco. Definitivamente un gran candidato a juego del año. Expand

    After playing for 15 hours (at least that's what the game says) its has been a great journey, not fast paced nor slow paced even tho you might need to do sides to fill your level (happen to me twice cuz I was just doing main quest and tbh only 1 lvl diff. so no big deal).
    Graphics are amazing I still think Red Dead Redemp. 2 and TLOU Part 2 are above it but not for much like a gain of

    Lore and Plot are bit messy to understand if you do not play the first game, if you did play the 1st game you will have a great time reading and listing to the lore points as it will fill many things the 1st one left open.
    Crafting, Weapons, the Enemies, skills, fighting are a great upgrade from the 1st game nothing much to say here.

    for me as technical achievement? its a 8/10 but that rating matters nothing to me, what matters is the fun the game brings and to me, it bring a lot, its a 10/10 game to me as for fun and i really hope to see more of this coming from Guerrilla and Sony!

    Ce nouvel opus en compagnie de aloy nous laisse bouche bée par ces graphisme et sa dynamique, les combats sont moins monotone que sur son prédécesseur.
    Son voyage nous fait traversé de jolie paysage et nous font rencontre d’autres pnj vraiment top . Et un scénario toujours aussi maitrisé que sur le 1 .

Definitely one of the best games this year so far, where you can't finish playing because of your frequent standing to see the dazzling and wonderful scenes that can't be described or the style of play as we used to in the previous part with a fun and beautiful development and the story that was really great, really what a game!!!!

    Surprised that no one mentioned new feature: you can enable gyro aiming in settings and believe me it makes you far more accurate, but requires a bit of training to master.
    If you finished Zero Dawn on hard and still remember how to play, choose hard difficulty.
    I've pre-ordered while reading critics reviews, and was happy to find out, they isn't lies. No regrets, awesome game, but all

    I've pre-ordered while reading critics reviews, and was happy to find out, they isn't lies. No regrets, awesome game, but all of that you can read in critics reviews.
    I will focus on the downsides now.
    Can confirm, that issue when Alloy constantly tells you what to do is an issue even on hard difficulty. Even more frustrating, that she is silent when you are actually lost.
    Bugs are very rare and aren't terrible, just glitching NPCs in the background of cut-scenes and sometimes screen goes black for a second.
    What actually drives me mad, that critical hit when machine is down must be pressed only when hint appears, you can't just keep mashing R1 button while being nearby. Have no idea why, in Zero Dawn it was just fine.
    P.S.: stop wasting your time on reviews, just go play it already.

    The sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn has many improvements then what it’s predecessor started with. A new more in-depth story, cooler looking machines and a bigger story has me hooked and wanting more. A game that has proving all my expectations and more.

    Отличное продолжение первой части игры. Лицевую анимацию значительно улучшили, сайд-квэсты сделали интересными, сюжет игры интригует с самого начала. Боевая система стала более вариативной. Игра полностью на русском языке, а это очень хорошо. Наиграл 15 часов. Из минусов на релизе мелкие технические баги. А так, прекрасная игра.Отличное продолжение первой части игры.

    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.
