    One of the most beautiful games ever created and an exemplary sequel: it corrects the ZD's negatives and improves on the positives.

    This game is better than the first in everything. The quality of life improvements are a great addition Also, the side quests is one of the best improvements of this game. In Zero Dawn I didn't like most of the sidequests. In this one, every sidequest character is animated, looks different from others, and has better story telling. Really liked that. Awesome game!!!

    Xbox trolls and incels attempting to smear a game they’ve never played. Amazing graphics, solid story and combat is super fun. I’m undecided on the new skill trees. I wish you could reset points invested but they add more depth to character development than the first game. Worth the price tag 100%.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. UPDATE: About 20 hours in and wow what an incredible game. Beginning is a tutorial and very linear, once you get past that it’s open world. Make sure you go into settings and adjust for the graphics to be the highest quality of “favor performance”. Lot of different options for settings so adjust accordingly. The setting under the “Visual” tab allowing you to visibly see climbing grabs, “climbing annotation” is a nice touch, can literally climb everywhere and see where the grabs are as they are outlined in yellow. People complaining about that need to go into settings and experiment with it and up the visual portion and you’ll be good to go. Once I upped the visuals to favor performance, I literally said “holy sh*t” because it looks incredible. I haven’t encountered any bugs or glitches. Played on PS5 and so far definitely a great game.

    SPOILER ALERT (kind of): This game by itself is a 10/10. This game as the sequel to horizon is an 8/10. The valor system is a little different as are the skill trees and “combos” you use making it a more action based RPG. Storyline is a 7/10 to me personally but I’m sure it’ll get better. Maybe I’m just surprised as they’re trying to explain a lot of the unknown from Zero Dawn snd took it in an “otherworldly” direction. I will update once I get some more time in.    … Expand

    Horizon Forbidden West is so far the best exclusive open world game on PlayStation. It has a good story, mind-blowing graphics, and amazing gameplay. The only downside is that the best mount in the game is obtainable at the end of the game. Otherwise, this game is great. Whoever is telling you it is a bad or broken game is without a doubt lying to you.

    Even better than zero dawn in almost every way! The open world, the graphics, the ability to dive underwater, etc.

    A showcase for the new generation of gaming. The combat feels heavy with dual sense motion elevated the experiences. No enemy encountered feels the same. Must have title to display the gloriousness of your OLED display. Spent a lot of hours soaked in the post-apocalyptic environment with tons of screenshots and pleasant memories.

    El juego es genial pero tiene muchos bugs, en gráficos es genial, pero, no llega al top, aunque el hecho de que tenga un mundo abierto con tantas cosas hace que exista el pop-in lo cual aveces es divertido, pero, en otras algo molesto.

    Holy moley why is there so many review bombers. Xboxers jealous or elden ring fanboys upset this might somehow upstage their upcoming game. to give you a good idea of how many negative reviews are normal for a game that isn’t completely bug ridden(this one isn’t at all) or filled with broken promises(a lá cyberpunk 2077, this game improves in every single way on its predecessor), REDHoly moley why is there so many review bombers.

The lowest rating I could see this game fairly getting from a subjective review is a 7 maybe 6. Anything else lower in these user reviews is completely bogus and should be deleted. This game is easily one of the best if not the best open world game ever made. So beautiful, so much to do. Ironically one of the only downsides I can think of is how overwhelming everything is. There is so much to do and learn that you might stress out over where to start. At every level it is a better and deeper game than horizon zero dawn was. If that game deserves an 8.4 user score, this one deserves an 8.9 or higher. I just left the daunt which is technically the secondary tutorial section and I’ve played for over a dozen hours. There’s just so much to explore and do. The tower climbing side tasks are better off left for when you get a flying mount though.. those can be a bit DAUNTing and monotonous if not for the gorgeous scenery. There’s also a lot of settings that fix many of the superficial or ridiculous issues some reviewers are bringing up. This is one of those game you’ll think about playing all day until you can get back on it, don’t miss out.… Expand

    It improves everything about the first game but keeps what made it so good. This is exactly what a good sequel is.

    One of the best experiences I’ve had on the PS5 yet. With Horizon Forbidden West you know you’re going to get an amazing story with action sequences that make your jaw drop but when you get your hands on the game it makes you feel so much more than that.

    Se ha quedado claro que Horizon Forbidden West es un juego de 10, desde su juego en si hasta el nivel de Sony con su marketing... HZD tiene un 89 y HFW un 88, fíjate cuanta gente tiene odio hacia este juego, porque saben que es IMPRESIONANTE

    Uma obra prima em todos os sentidos! Graficamente, tecnicamente, texturas, modelagem de personagens e ambientes, trilha sonora e iluminação. Apesar de totalmente coerente com o jogo inicial HFW representa um salto de qualidade em relação ao jogo original. Um verdadeiro representante da nova geração!

    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.
