    The game is gorgeous, it plays well, and the character development is amazing. A few minor framerate glitches here and there, about 4 in 40+ hours of play, for me. The story can "start slow" for some, but I didn't feel that way.

    Fantastic game. Takes a while to build into the masterpiece it is, taking everything from the first game and amplifying it in meaningful new ways. Polished to the hilt from graphics to voice acting, MoCap story and gameplay. Couldn't put down the controller! An emotionally rewarding with Aloy in a fascinating and complete world! Thanks to the team at Guerilla games

    Truely improved on so many levels, I haven't been able to put the game down ever since it released.
    Biggest improvement is how they've managed to make their NPC's so expressive that it's much easier to connect to them and remember them. The facial expressions are genuinely believable and relatable, during the main storyline ASWELL as some random side quests.

    Biggest improvement is how they've managed to make their NPC's so expressive that it's much easier to connect to them and remember them. The facial expressions are genuinely believable and relatable, during the main storyline ASWELL as some random side quests.

    I think this improvement in facial expressions is also one of the biggest reasons why Aloy's looks have somewhat changed; If we look at Hannah Hoekstra (original 3D model) and Ashley Burch (Voice actress, motion capture), Ashley has much rounder cheeks and much higher rising cheekbones when laughing for example. To make the facial expression motion capture work on the level it is at in this new game, I'm fairly sure they had to tweak the facial structure and proportions closer to Ashley's.

    I also thought Aloy looked off and off-putting in some of the pre-release trailers, but in my honest opinion, she looks nice in the game. Especially as I've played as her and relate to her, she's a fantastic character and I love how she has absolutely no patience for nonsense when the stakes are so high.

    The frustrations of a person who knows much more than the tribal level citizens have been well depicted, without overdoing it.

    I'm also positively surprised how the plot has managed to still maintain my interest so well, 45 hours in now. I was worried that the first game already "spilled the beans" on the big plot twist and that it'd be hard to make the second one as interesting, but they've managed to pull it off really well.

    I personally haven't been put off by the noisy/shimmering qualities of some foliage. I do notice it's there if I focus on it, but it hasn't been a bother at all. Didn't notice it before it was talked online. (Dunno if my Samsung Q70 QLED's just displaying it differently from some OLEDs or so)
    The game looks absolutely gorgeous and the amount of screenshots I've already taken with photo mode is through the roof.

    My biggest gripes are;

    -Some of the bigger enemies, like Rockbreaker are annoying to fight against, as in general you either fight them from far, sniping them and whittling them down from a cliff OR you get close. First one gets boring after repetition and the second one can be frustrating, as the enemies have lunge attacks where they jump from under ground or the distance and Aloy's dodge roll doesn't cover the distance that the attack is wide. So even if you roll at a perfect time, the hitbox still punishes you.
    But that aside, I feel like the difficulty has been at a good place, first at normal and then bumping it a little higher as I got better and more skills/weapons.

    - Aloy talking too much. Especially bothersome when there's some sort of a puzzle and before you even get to think about it, Aloy narrates "to herself" what she should do. I'd much rather have the time to look around and piece it together myself, even if it's a simple puzzle to begin with. Also the repeated lines about her stash and some instances where if you get close to something that she comments on, then back away a little and come immediately back, you get the same line again.

    - Tutorial hints even after 40+ hours into the game where the game says you can scan machines with Focus or "Hold square to glide" etc. even once I have even turned contextual tips off.

    Still, an incredibly well put together package that was easily the price I paid; 49 euros for a PS4 physical that I then upgraded to PS5 digital free.

    Really a shame that some people sabotage the game with 0/10 scores. I understand not liking it as much, but 0/10 is just dishonest every time, there's nothing more to it.

    Very much recommended especially for everyone who enjoyed the first one.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Played this for 30 hours, didn't finish yet. I will, but so far it was a mediocre experience. Playing on Hard Difficulty, via the Custom Setting.

    The whole experience feels gated. After finishing the tutorial, I started exploring ASAP, The first three landmarks I explored revealed blocked paths (two on the map, one in a sidequest). Two of those opened up after I finished a Level 24 Quest, for the other one I have yet to find a solution. Talk about demotivating your customer. Leaving the Nora Heartlands in Part One, you could go where you want, doing what you want, your path and exploration only blocked by story- relevant sites. Forbidden West keeps up with the gating. You can only travel most of the map after visiting the first and second areas, and exploration- related abilities are gated behind story missions.

    I encountered tons of bugs, mostly graphics- wise. Non story- NPCs clipping through story relevant- characters in cutscenes (enountered in the first village), Bugging AI's in larger machines, rendering them totally passive. Disappearing machine bodies of flying machines after I killed them while airborne, because the game couldn't decide where to place the body. Worst are control related issues, I suffered random cases of stick drift while aiming at machines from slopes or uneven terrain. My controller works fine, tested in copies of other games, and problems persists even after resetting bluetooth and controller software.

    The last factor makes sniping unbearably difficult in crucial situations, like severing body parts of machines with quest related rewards in it, that would otherwise disintegrate when killing the machine. I solved this issue partially by setting my difficulty to "Custom" and enabling "Easy Loot", which reduces the grindiness of the game by a lot. Btw way, loot, if you want to upgrade, expect a lot of grinding, This game wanrts to be at least Monster Hunter in a light form. Also here, gating or bugs. I got that one legendary armor I want to upgrade. I am looking for a machine site. Can't find it. Use Youtube. Still can't find despite guides with maps. Seems like that machine site spawns only after I have progressed far enough in the story. Just for protocol, I beat that machine in the tutorial as a boss.

    You will be picking up stuff. A lot. This is forced upon you by a mediocre inventory managment system. Your main source of healing are berries, a full heal takes as much as 4 of them, you pick them up in single batches. Your pouches are limited. Everything you pick up exceeding your pouch capacity will be magically teleported to your stash. It doesn't feel like a quality of life- improvement, but yet another wall you have to juggle while playing.

    The skill system is blooated, there are several skill trees, unlocking passives, active abilities (that you can only use with certain types of weapons, related to the tree), and acitve "Valor" Skills. You can have a dozen of those abilities, but due to controller limitations, you have to switch the manually via the weapon wheel, making it feel clunky.

    Remember how people said Part One had to few weapons? Well, fear no more! You can buy a bucketload of weapons, all different, but not offering the flexibility the weapons in Zero Dawn had. You wanna shoot three different types of Ammmunition with your bow, like in part one? No problem, you just have to equip two different bows of the same kind, because most of the weapons only offer one or two types of Ammunition. Well, until you start unlocking Very Rare weapons about 20 hours into the game. I remember times having equiped two Sharpshooter Bows and three War Bows to have access to all types of damage and ammunition I needed. You have only five quicklots on your wheel.

    You need to upgrade your equipment badly, at least on the higher difficulties, unless you want to get two-shot by mobs, which are swarming you relentlessly. Elaborate Critical Strike- animations are nice, but since you have no I-Frames, a well-placed Critical Strike on a machine is often more than enough time for it's buddies to tear you apart. The machines feel more unfair this time around. Zero Dawn had its camera issues, and combat sometimes felt unfair after you had been killed from off-screen three times in a row. This one tops it. The machines in Forbidden West mostly use elemental AOE-Attacks at range. you have no option for long dodges (well, maybe I have overlooked it in some skill tree), and your I-Frames are so limited, that it feels like frame perfect perfect dodges are needed. For me, a frustrating experience, bouncing off of enemies attacks like in pinball. Oh, and the machines are fast. I may be getting old, but a lot of attacks are barely telegraphed.

    We got a german word for this, "Verschlimmbesserung", "improving" something until it becomes worse than, in this case, Part One. I fear for Part 3.    … Expand

The story is so mind numbingly dull, as are the characters, that I’ve started listening to music while playing. The side quests are repetitive & formulaic (which I don’t have a problem with) but was praised for not being. Far Cry gets criticised for towers yet Horizon is praised for tallnecks. I enjoy the towers & tallnecks but where is the consistency in reviewing games? The combat is a frustration more than anything. Dodging is pointless against some machines so it seems you have no defence. When you get them into status effects it doesn’t really seem to have much impact on them so swapping ammo doesn’t really mean much. Having to constantly stop and craft new ammo is as monotonous as it gets. I’m fast travelling at every possible opportunity because going from point A to point B isn’t enjoyable. Compare that to Dying Light 2 which I’ve just finished and running all over the place was fun & rewarding. If Ubisoft released this game the media would have given it 7.5 I can guarantee you that.… Expand

    Horizon Horizon.... Where do I even begin! I have been patiently waiting for this game to come out ever since it was announced. First things first, when they said "newer and deadlier" machines, they weren't lying! Instead of just whacking machines like in the first game, theres actually alot more skill involved to hit their weakpoints and a strong focus on elemental weaknesses. Dodging is your friend more than ever in this game. The amount of times I get 1 tapped by a machine was crazy. New machines have creative moves and even the old machines from Zero Dawn got move upgrades. That's not to say the game was overly hard. On normal, it provided the best challenge that really made me focus to beat the machines and bosses and finish the missions(Get it? Focus? I'll see my self out xD). In terms of the story, THIS is how a sequel should be made! You meet old friends and make many new ones along the way, the character development is super good and you really connect with the characters. The story is a perfect continuation from Zero dawn and some of the lore you discover is really mind altering. The world is huge with so much to do and to explore and looks amazing even on PS4, I still do not know how they did it! The skill system is awesome with over 150+ unlockable skills and I found myself using most of them to make my quests easier.

    Now onto the things that aren't so amazing, mounts. They added new mounts to override to get around the map. While most of them are fine, the normal horse-like mounts are still clunky and the mechanics are underpolished. Also, the melee system could use some work, the amount of times it took me to finish the practice combos to pass that quest irritated me. There are bugs here and there but they weren't anything game-breaking. As we speak, Gerilla have released a 1.5gb patch to fix some of the issues and more will be fixed with time. There's probably more I missed in terms of the game but I am to busy processing the story.

    If you are new to/ havent played Horizon, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you do. Horizon has one of the best/unique stories I have ever played and I am excited to see what comes next!    … Expand

    This second installment of the franchise is truly a masterpiece. It simply builds on the 1st, with more ways to navigate the world, new machines, and a whole new world to explore. Let the naysayers naysay this game is absolute gold. I look forward to the idea of this game becoming a trilogy installment. Thanks for reading have a good day

    Things are slowly changing, but it's noticable with every passing day. With the good (?) intention to diversify the cast, every key minority person in this game has been strategically given a roll to serve a specific purpose.

    Then we have the boring, unoriginal story about the ending of the world, and Aloy's portrayal as the heroine who is the only person capable of saving the day (in one of the cutscenes she literally said "...and I'm the only one who can fix it..." despite the fact that she's being characterized as someone who displays modesty and humility).

    The game also really wants to make you feel good with all the coddling and flattery. Being in the role of a world saving superstar, you get to enjoy what it feels like when a statue is dedicated to you to honor your past accomplishments; and many a time you would be greeted with the utmost admirations from NPCs. Basically, the same technique they introduced in Mass Effect 2; a game from 12 years ago.

    The most fun that I had with this game is the combat. It outshines the competition, because it doesn't rely on tranditional guns; and with new additions and finetuning, it plays and feels just as what I had remembered from the first game.

    The second fun thing that I had was the photo mode. The stunning visuals will turn you into a tourist looking out for every opportunity to find the most scenic landscapes.

    Overall, it's a stunning looking game with fun and exciting combat. But the story and the agenda is what keeps this game from reaching the heights it deserves.    … Expand

    No shock there, I could stop and gush at my screen for hours on end looking at this game.
    Story 9/10
    The story is amazing and had me on the edge so many times. The mysteries created on the first game are answered extremely well and the direction of the story adds a huge sci-fi twist. The only thing I'd change is the Zeniths who had too little screentime and not enough development other than Tilda.
    Gameplay: 10/10
    The fluidity of movement and the sheer variety of combat moves is ridiculous. The extensive skill tree system lets you make your own Aloy. There are so many weapons each with a particular purpose that compliments a different style. The tallnecks and cauldrons were even more surprising. Each tall neck had a different way of reaching the top. One was stuck In water, another had to be shot down. The cauldrons had some challenging puzzles that never bored me. Even relic ruins were engaging as each one required you to think to collect the relic.
    Characters: 10/10
    The game incorporates favourits from before but new characters as well who I found very easy to like. Aloys relationships with all are unique which makes it so fun to see.
    Side quest: 10/10
    The amount of side quests was impressive by itself but the sheer variety allowed for an experience that was never dry. Each side quest entailed different styles of play and created lore that I'm glad to have learned about.
    Overall this game is a masterpiece; the graphics , the combat, everything was tuned to perfection.    … Expand

In the first game, all the collectables showed up automatically on screen once you were close. Now you have to click R3 every 30 seconds for that (I'm not joking here).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Story: It would have been very, very difficult to exceed the stunning sci-fi revelations in the original game, Horizon Zero Dawn. While HFW does throw some wonderful new twists into the mix, it does not quite match up to the awe I felt in HZD when Project Zero Dawn was revealed. I was blinking back tears at the ambition, scientific prowess, and sacrifice required to get it done. That said, while the science fiction doesn't quite measure up to the first game (it is still great!) the characters and growth of interpersonal relationships are quite a bit better. My single biggest complaint about the story was the absolute emotional gut punch that came near the end. Really took the wind out of my sails. Another complaint I have is that the story hinges on Aloy overcoming her "go it alone" pathology and building up team of fellow badasses to take on new threats, but continued to have her be more or less solely responsible for saving the day. This is a perpetual problem of the hero fantasy genre - if the other characters are great and well written, as they are here, they deserve to shine and have meaningful victories independent of the protagonist.

    The World: The lore building in HZD was first class, and that continues to be the case in the sequel. Data-points abound with new revelations about the old ones and their myriad interpretations by the various tribes. Side quests are also excellent this time around, with much better voice acting and motion capture giving the sense that the world is richly populated and churning with intrigue. On top of all that, the world looks absolutely stunning. Best looking environments I have ever seen, and they are much more diverse than the first game. From underwater caves hidden in snowy mountaintops to the tidal pools of a ruined San Francisco, the natural world is a main character of this franchise and it shows. The machines also feel more varied and deadly this go around. Come unprepared to a fight and some of them are down right terrifying.

    The Mechanics: Combat is much more complex this time around, for better and worse. Weapon diversity is great, but I felt that in order to figure out which weapons were actually the most effective I would have had to endlessly grind at the upgrade treadmill. So I just picked a few favorites and focused on them. As in the first entry, combat feels awesome. Machines are fast and lethal, but so is Aloy. The biggest mechanical complaint I have is with climbing. The focus system feels clunky - like a debug tool that accidentally got left in the game. I realize climbing systems are hard and that the terrain here is much more complex than in Breath of the Wild, but nevertheless climbing feels like a weak point of an otherwise visceral exploration experience. I should also add that several pain points of the first game - for example too much time spent in inventory menus - have been cleverly addressed in HFW.

    Overall: Buy it. Will almost certainly be my game of the year.    … Expand

The idea is you learn skills to enable progress through the game, and like any skill you have to practice at it to get better as you come across tougher opponents. You the player and the character need to practice elements provided by the game to get better at them to progress. If games had completely different methods and requirements as you go through people would get annoyed because they figured out how to do something and now the system has completely changed so have to learn the new one, therefore ruining the flow of the story.    … Expand

    No se le puede pedir más a un juego.
    Una historia emocionante, un mundo muy trabajado con gráficos de 10, movilidad, jugabilidad, mucha variedad de cosas por hacer y unas misiones secundarias y diálogos muy trabajados.

    Horizon Forbidden West represents a feeling of discovery, which always flows parallel to the game experience: underground often, like a river that crosses the bowels of the earth, but also exploding in revealing moments, like a geyser.

    Beautiful huge world with tons of things to do. If you like RPG games and want to taste them without rushing it will be perfect for you.

    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.
