    Playing on a PS4 and clocked 20 hours into the game. I've read some of the negative reviews and 99% is absolutely unfounded in my opinion. Really can't get my head around why these bad reviews are posted. Perhaps afraid of a strong female character?

    Playing on a PS4 and clocked 20 hours into the game. I've read some of the negative reviews and 99% is absolutely unfounded in my opinion. Really can't get my head around why these bad reviews are posted. Perhaps afraid of a strong female character?

    The graphics and movement of the characters, environment and effects are (even on PS4) breathtaking. The water quality, bubbles underwater, footprints in snow, wind effects, mountains, grass and so on just explode on my (4K QLED) TV. Can't wait to see it actually on a PS5.

    The story so far is compelling and divers, even more if you focus on side missions and tasks. Yes, there is some rinse & repeat in some missions "go there & get this", but the story surrounding it is different and divers. The main story is in my opinion believable and new.

    Regarding bugs, last minute appearing trees and other flaws, I must say that I have found none. Must say I normally am also not bothered by it in games, because it has also to do with the performance of your own hardware.

    The only thing that bothers me slightly are conversations containing "modern" words like "body bags", which I find hard to believe that is it something their world would be familiar with.

    Anyway, I foresee some long and fun playing with this game and certainly would recommend this game.

    Pro : graphics, AD, quests, main story, better than zero dawn, new machines, lifetime

    Cons : If you dont like SF it's gonna be hard, some technical issues, not enough freedom (vs Zelda or GOT)

    Saying Elden Ring is better when it's not even released and comparing HZFW to it just makes my blood boil. Not sure where this fanatism comes from but it's annoying...

    Also if you can't get decent graphics out of your machine it's not the developers fault... If you run a next gen game on a PS4 don't expect much, although this game still runs very well on older machines.

    If people give 0 to this game then Cyberpunk should have had -10? Just wondering. So please stop with the review bombing.

    HZFW is a graphical masterpiece...the amount of detail in every part of the game is astounding. Ray tracing, the marks in the sand you make and the difference in lighting when the sun reflects of the wet sand, sweat drops when it's hot, frozen armour when it's cold, grass moving around your feet when you move...just a glimpse of the vast detail and love that has gone into this game. Not to mention the insane quality of the textures and assets + insane loading speeds.

    Story is indeed long but it's a journey...if you don't have the patience just move on to something else. I enjoy the character development and the relationships and also by doing side quests you can influence the dialogue in the main story line which is cool.

    Combat as well is very good, a bit harder than the first iteration which is a good thing but there are a lot of quality of life improvements that just make sense.

    Combined with the adaptive triggers and sound design, this is by far one of the most visually stunning, complete and well built games of our time. Only game that could beat it is God of War.

    I rest my case and to all you trolls....just stop with the review bombing...We are a community and we should leave politics and anger aside and be more kind to each other.

    The dialogues are truly next gen imo. Great animation, voice acting and funny characters. The side quests are just as interesting and fleshed out as the main quests.

    Combat is really solid and impactful. Movement of Aloy is a bit clunky and jerky at times though. Especially when climbing.

    If you liked HZD, you will love this. If you didn't like HZD then this game is not going to change that.

    About 20+ hours into the game now and so far it's everything I had expected. The level of writing is both high and consistent, akin to Witcher 3 quality (which to me set the bar pretty damn high).

Gameplay is a bit hard to master if you're new to the series but difficulty and accessibility options can easily remedy it. As others mentioned, Aloy does backseat a lit but it doesn't bother me that much. Climbing is perfectible but is ok to me. Experienced very few bugs (a big frame rate drop that needed rebooting the game and one crash with my not so stable ps4 pro) Also hate to see this game review-bombed by idiots who think women have no facial hair, when the game oozes its production value in every shot.

    Графоний и в первой части впечатлял, тут с особо нечего добавить. Очень понравился саундтрек, классно ребята поработали.
    Главная кор-механика все так же отлично работает, битвы с роботами это пожалуй самое лучшее, что есть в этой игре.
    Битвы с людьми прокачали, однако как по мне они остались всё такими же унылыми - враги тупорылые и сражаться с ними не интересно.
    Вместе со всем этим разрабы решили "апнуть" паркур, и с одной стороны сделали удобно - теперь можно срезать пути следования, а вот с другой стороны паркур безумно багованый, кривой, местами выглядит как нечто из игры 10-летней давности. Да вообще в игре довольно много багов и странных вещей, вроде затухающего на пару сек экрана при использовании костра - этот рудимент хотя бы в версии для пс5 убрали бы чтоли, выглядит тупо.
    Что касается побочек - к сожалению, по своей сути кроме постановки, а так же режиссуры с диалогами они не сильно прибавили в самой глубине механик, и сводятся к однообразной и тухлой ерунде "помоги очередному папуасу кого-то спасти/принести корень мандрагоры". Хотя, признаться, порой пытаются в оригинальность. Некоторые третьесортные активности занятные, но так же очень быстро надоедают.
    Отдельного упоминания стоит сюжет, с которого я сначала орал от восторга, а затем орал от кринжа, который выплеснули мне в лицо. Ко всему прочему, он очень долго раскачивается, очень уныло двигается вперед, середина игры сильно провисает и вызывает много зевоты. Ближе к концу приключения я дважды словил фейспалм от происходящего на экране и если это описать в парочке предложений человеку, который еще не дошел до этого момента - не представляю как скукурузит его лицо.
    Подытожив могу сказать, что вышло крайне иронично - сюжет и лор мне больше нравится в первой части, чем во второй.
    А вот постановка и режиссура явно выигрывает в продолжении. Ощущение, будто посмотрел очередную жвачку от марвел.
    Однако в общем и целом оба проекта плюс-минус одинаковые, и я сейчас в очередной раз недоумеваю с воплей прессы о том, что это РЕВОЛЮСЬЁН МАСС ЭФФЕКТ 2 ВАЙБ (хотя тут скорее стерильная и пресная эволюция того, что хорошо работало, плюс в кои-то веки отсутствие театра говорящих голов).
    Первая часть для меня на 7/10, или 3.5/5, кому как удобнее.
    Эта же часть при своих плюсах и минусах в сердечко так же не попала, всё тот же дженерик хорайзон на гигантской карте, с дрочкой побочек, собирательств, аванпостов и прочих пряток в траве.
    Игра мне в целом понравилась, но далеко без откровений, она просто хорошая.

    The game is unplayable right now on some 4k displays with performance mode. Also a lot of popping and bugs, it is clearly unfinished at least the PS5 version. Despite this the game is good and would love to enjoy its mechanics once it is finished.

    After playing Zero Dawn, I was expecting a great. Instead I got a buggy mess of a game with invisible enemies, button prompts being ignored, UI elements not showing. Sections that are designed to be a pure waste of time with the same slow animations happening on every re-do making repeating the same section to be a complete frustrating thing to do.

It's a very well made game, not a cheap cash grabber like COD, Battlefield or FIFA. You can see that they really took care of the details. Highly recommended but I recommend to play part one first.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first installment of horizon really surprised me in so many ways. The story, characters and the overall look of it really made me fall in love with open-world single player genre of games together with GoD. So I was really looking forward to forbidden west and so far I’m enjoying the game a lot. As a person who really like to get to know the story and get to every corner of the world of horizon, there is a lot to attend. Just completed restoring GAIA yesterday and that’s just 1/3 of the map with a lot of stuff to still complete. When it comes to the game overall, I think they made a good improvement from the first game. On thing that caught my eye from the get go is the cinematics and dialog between the characters - the first game was good but I would say lagged a bit of nuance and emotion. In forbidden west it’s much more intense and full of emotions from there movement to there facial expression. The story so far is great and enjoyable, graphics is amazing and the game runs smoothly on my PS5 :) If I had some complaints to throw in here; I have stumbled upon a few cinematic glitches (nothing huge, but gave me a good laugh), one single notification bug in the collection part of the menu and I do have to say that the movement in tight spaces is a bit awkward sometimes. The same goes to some of the climbing movement, but again nothing really major. Overall I’m really positive about the game and it was a bit of fresh air from the terrible releases we have had so far this year (mainly looking at BF2042 and few other big titles). Big thump ups from one happy fan. Keep up the great work and I’m looking forward for what comes in the future of Horizon :) Expand

    Horizon Forbidden West is an awesome game! The graphics looks great on the PS5, the combat has definitely improved from its predecessor. Overall, Aloy journey was a lot of fun to explore!

    While i'm nowhere near done with the Game i can without a doubt give this game a 9/10. The Good:
    Horizon Forbidden West did something which most sequels fail trying. It took the first game as a base and improved upon the source material immensely. The story is engaging and if you liked the first one you will definetly love this one. The gameplay is a major stepup with many more mechanics

The story is engaging and if you liked the first one you will definetly love this one. The gameplay is a major stepup with many more mechanics and new things to do. The graphics are phenomenal even on PS4 Pro. Characters are interesting and the animations are a big improvement compared to the first game.
    The sheer size of the map, the content, machines could be daunting at first but throughout 20+ hours i have never felt bored with the game. Even now I come across new things to do and explore.

    The not bad but not good:
    There are a few glitches and audio issues here and there. Pop in does occur from time to time but by no means is it something that ruins the experience.


    Summary:
    No game is perfect. But this one comes pretty close to it.

    Those who gave this game a 10/10 either haven't played the first game or they have an agenda. Everything but the graphics are a downgrade from the first game. New mechanics are clunky, the user interface is ridiculous, the story is meh. They've tried to do too much and failed.

    Horizon Forbidden West suffers from serious technical problems: the game at 60 fps is simply ugly to see, with very annoying flickering and shimmering phenomena, which affect the visual rendering to the point of making it look like a game in sub hd. Moreover in 30 fps mode, the defects disappear but the frame rate is between 15 and 20 fps. Far from the promised "technical masterpiece".

    10h in. By no means a perfect game, but it does seem to improve almost everything I loved about the original, along with few annoying traits, but this time with an incredible boost in storytelling, graphics and combat system. Free movement is not ideal, but it's still great. The world is very dense and it feels like there's almost too much stuff, particularly on PS5 Fidelity mode. It's10h in.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The AAA ps-Videogame is a overwhelming game in the sense of grafik. I have to say, it was from the start one straight line of events, it isnt like ZERO DAWN in FORBIDDEN WEST, you knew everything after you found Beta. I have to say i only had one thing that wasnt (fluid) working well, that was when there were 3 sandstorms or the city of Texas, because of the whole dripping water. If this happens, you can just restart the game, bang its fixed. I have to say, i read a lot of Megacritic 0 scores. I wasnt convinced that they even played the game, when they made a account just for this. I also read a lot of performance mode. I have to say i never used it. Because it always worked well. The last thing i have to say is thank you to everyone that found my review helpful Expand

    Guerilla improved on HZD's weaknesses in most if not all areas, and doubled down on its strengths. The result is absolutely wonderful. The main story is mind-blowing, the side content is excellent and compelling, the combat is per usual very engaging and a challenge, the world is drop dead gorgeous and teeming with life.

I am not the least bit surprised that a AAA PlayStation exclusive is being review bombed by window-licking Xbox degens who have been stuck in last place for the last 20 years and counting. I am surprised though that metacritic still allows this to continue... It really has no credibility at this point. That goes for both user and critic reviews. Expand

    Game isn't bad. But it is definitely VERY underwhelming after all the hype that's been built up.

    Graphics on PS5 is quite nice. Not "Great" - "quite nice". Amount of colors and the ability of PS5 to load more objects at once helps towards achieving this goal. But after games like "Ghost of Tsushima", "Horizon" is definitely late to the party. Overall feel is more like a big DLC for

    But after games like "Ghost of Tsushima", "Horizon" is definitely late to the party.

    Overall feel is more like a big DLC for the first game, with updated graphics and some new mechanics. It's like you are replaying a game already on your first run. Feels a bit boring.
    This is not what's been sold.

    Also, I personally don't like the way they changed the appearance of Aloy.
    The character does not click with me now. It feels like there's a massive body physique and face mismatch.
    She was not a beauty in the first game but it was fine. Now they pushed this even further and Aloy looks plain masculine.
    While you can still play the game, this made it harder for me to emerge.
    The character is neither a man (on whom I could project myself) nor a girl (whose image I'd connect with because I find her attractive).
    So you'd enjoy the game only if you can ignore the main character part altogether.

    I think that the hype is what made this a disappointing experience for me. It is sad as I have been waiting for this to come out for so long.

    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.
