    I was a huge fan of the first game, but the "studio-produced" games have made me quite salty over the past few years. There's this bizarre theme of game trailers looking way better than the games ever do during their pre-releases.

There's this bizarre theme of game trailers looking way better than the games ever do during their pre-releases. So, I was quite skeptical of how this game would be when compared to their hype trailers and having to live up to the last game. Regardless, I'm quite impressed. The game looks beautiful, the story stays consistent with the old game (one of my favorite things about it), and the machines are still great. It's like I'm playing in the eco-aware version of ZOIDS. I really enjoyed the game, the story, the graphics, and all the new side-quest things they added in. With that being said, I do have two things that kind of irked me. First, the combat seems to be a little less fluid than the first game. It really seems like some of the combat moves (especially melee) are forcibly clicked/animated into place, which is different than the first game. It looks like Aloy is teleporting to a machine/raider to make my hit be a hit. I'd rather miss and not have this skipping (it can be a little disorienting). This could be a way to save on framerates or rendering, or whatever, but the close combat does feel a bit more choppy. Second, as much as I love the bigger and more flashy new map, it seems like Guerilla was just pasting things into the places between quest objectives to give me something to do. I do like the new additions and the new map, but there is a point where you have so many things on your map that it kind of becomes overwhelming. There were times where it felt like I was playing a Ubisoft game. These two points aside, they did not detract from my experience of enjoying the game. It still looks great and it's still very stimulating in, almost, every aspect. Love the new machines, love the continuation of the storyline, and I did enjoy how Guerilla spiced-up some of the character development. I had a great time playing it. I hope they're working an expansion because The Frozen Wilds was a fun addition to the last game.… Expand

    Un gran titulo, durabilidad pulida, un portento grafico. El mejor lanzado hasta la fecha, servirá como inspiración a muchos juegos, duración correcta, tan extenso como uno quiera..

    Es increíble la rabia que le causa este titulo a los jugadores de Xbox, según en el gamepass es lo máximo, pero siempre viven con la rabia de no poder jugar con los títulos de Sony.

It is by no means perfect but any reviewI am a trophy hunter and this is my first time leaving a rating for a game on Metacritic. I am primarily doing this in response to the inappropriate review bombing by bad actors and those who fail to understand the purpose of review aggregate sites like this. Horizon Forbidden West is a superb game that has clearly suffered through the pandemic. It is by no means perfect but any review under a 6 is clearly just bad faith drivel. This is not going to be written like a proper review but rather, a series of impressions I've had after about 25 hours and completion of about 50% of the game. First: the positive.

    Environments - Environments in this game have been expanded and improved over the first game in ways that will be immediately apparent. Vast open plains, barren deserts, white sandy coastlines that seem to stretch on forever, all decorated with far more reactive foliage than anything the first game could produce. The biomes in the first game all largely felt the same. That is simply not the case in Forbidden West. Machine Diversity - Zero Dawn offered up an impressive array of machines to hunt and was rightly lauded for its encounter diversity. That same bestiary has returned along with a variety of new machines that are equally well-designed and fun to fight. While there are some species of machine that quickly wear out their welcome, the vast majority of encounters are tense and satisfying. Taking a leaf out of Monster Hunter's book, Forbidden West boasts over 40 monster machines and nearly all of them can easily destroy a player who isn't careful and look damn good doing it. Side Quests and Collectibles - I got the platinum trophy for HZD. Doing so took about 3 days. In that time, I managed to complete the greater majority of side quests and found a good number of the collectibles. I, therefore, feel I have good standing to make the claim that the side content in HFW is much improved over its predecessor. The side quest holders manage to be more fleshed out while offering far more interesting tasks for the player to complete. The collectibles are mildly improved over the first game's offerings, especially the drone collectibles that I won't spoil here, but they are generally the same standard fair found in other open world titles. Still, the side quests more than make up for a lack of interesting things to mindlessly pick up. Character models - Improved in nearly every way. Facial animations, fluid movements, level of detail. All has been touched up and made to look truly next Gen. Characters in the first game, especially those who weren't relevant to the main questline, has an almost plastic appearance to them. Models in Forbidden West look near universally amazing, so much so that it makes one question why more effort wasn't applied in the first game to make models look as good. Now for some negatives:

    Story - Do not listen to the trolls who say this is the absolute worst story they have ever experienced. That is unfair and obviously stated in bad faith. What is fair to say, though, is that this story is not as strong as that found in Zero Dawn. Aloy's journey from humble outcast to hero of the Nora is a reiteration of the same classic hero stories people have loved since the time of the ancient Greeks. Through her struggles, she learned the necessity of relying on others to accomplish great things and overcome insurmountable obstacles. That lesson was immediately forgotten in Forbidden West. It's actually quite the disconnect that Aloy begins the story trying to shoulder her burdens alone after going through the trouble of realizing how stupid that is in her first adventure. Beyond that though, the story focuses more on the Sci-fi elements of the game and less on the personal journeys of Aloy and her allies and is ultimately weaker and crazier for it (though this is partially fixed for those who engage in the side quests). Bugs - Technical polish (or the lack thereof) is likely the area that this game falls the flattest. In 60 hours of playing HZD, I do not recall any major rendering or game play bugs. In 25 hours of HFW, I have encountered numerous issues. While there haven't been any hard crashes, I've had to reload the game a number of times to redo quests after objectives bugged out (not a terrible issue due to the games generous autosave system) . This, combined with multiple black screen flickers has resulted in a noticeably affected experience. It's not a deal breaker and one could definitely point to the pandemic as the reason but it's definitely something any player is likely to be affected by. Bottom line - My subjective score for this game is an 8 but the OBJECTIVE score for HFW is no less than 6. People calling this game ugly, inferior to HZD, or a complete failure are clearly just acting in bad faith to bash the game. They say they aren't trolls. They definitely are trolls. Guerilla put out top notch work while rejecting crunch *applause*.    … Expand

Graphically challenged. There’s no Ray traced effects, the lighting is sloppy and flickers in some places. A slew of graphical anomalies really break any chance at an immersive experience. Over sharpening is prevalent, which gives textures an off putting look. Performance mode looks just awful on a 4k monitor, and resolution mode is obviously dynamic and balance is lost in heavier loads and detail takes a hit.

    A few issues such as moving grass tiles due to weird loading patterns. Atleast 2 spots where you can fall through the ground (that I know of). Poor collision physics with certain items and vegetation. Odd distortion in some NPCs. Pop in of large objects like buildings that seem to magically appear out of thin air. Aloy’s eyes tend to go rogue, looking everywhere but the intended direction and at times roll into the back of her head. Character movement of expression is wonky in dialogue scenes. Game can encounter several types of crashes, some requiring a game reboot, with others completely disabling your PS5 all together and requiring troubleshooting or a hard reset.

    Had to stop playing, as the experience was not enjoyable, immersion is broken, and bugs concern me that it could potentially brick my hardware.    … Expand

    Once you get pass the very first section of the game all the changes become very clear. The game is beautiful like everyone mentions but its actually the tweaks, new customizations, skill trees and interactions with NPC's that do it for me - all of these have been massively improved from the first game.

    Side quests dont feel like a chore at all and are very interesting/engaging,    Once you get pass the very first section of the game all the changes become very clear.

    Side quests dont feel like a chore at all and are very interesting/engaging, everyone that Aloy speaks to actually feels like shes speaking to them - no jerky head movements or eye pupils zigzagging everywhere, it looks natural now. Swimming feels fantastic and adds a lot more exploration, not to mention the scale of this game is massive btw, bigger than Zero Dawn.

    How you approach the gameplay is also completely up to you -

    You wanna be a stealthy assassin? ✅

    You wanna chug potions like a Witcher and withstand a beating from machines? ✅

    You wanna focus melee combat and become a spinning beyblade? ✅

    You wanna be a trapmaster and have a more strategic approach? ✅

    You wanna sit back and watch your machines cause havoc? ✅

    You wanna be a Legolas 2.0 and stack bodies with your bow? ✅

    Or become a jack of all trades, master of none.

    There will always be people that moan saying some assets are recycled from Zero Dawn - but what do you expect? Its a direct sequel! Of course some things will seem similar. If im being honest, it seems a lot harder these days to satisfy peoples needs in games - if its not Apex, COD or Fortnite they just arent interested and are quick to bash a game.

    I will adjust this review the further I get into it but for anyone contemplating buying this game - do it! so far its incredible. I play this on a PS5 and it runs super smooth with almost instant load times. Dont listen to anyone that says the graphics dont look good, they must be running it on a base ps4 with a 720p monitor because its stunning!    … Expand

    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.

Storyline is surprisingly compelling for a sequel. The acting is top notch. All the characters have their own personalities. Some of them are complete psychopaths, some are charming and others are strange and eccentric. Micro expressions in facial animations are realistic and the lighting is gorgeous I constantly find myseld exploring and finding new areas where the environment itself tells a story on its own. The combat feels more fluid this time around. Unfortunately the platforming segments are the only complaint I have with the game. Occasionally I fall to my death because of the poor controls in those segments. Autosaves usually don't set me back too far and it loads up in seconds so it's only a minor inconvenience. Game does look rough in performance mode if you're used to native 4k. I've been playing it in resolution mode and it looks amazing and crisp. I thought the 30 FPS would be a deal breaker because I usually prefer 60 FPS but for a single player story based game it feels fine. Actually feels like it's running at around 45 FPS. Framerate is reminiscent of Death Stranding on the PS4 Pro which makes sense since it uses the same engine. Maybe that's why the 30 FPS feels fine to me. I did play a lot of Death Stranding last gen.… Expand

    Right now the game is visually/graphically in very bad shape. The performance mode runs at 60 fps but looks absolutely terrible while the resolution mode runs in 30 fps, and while it looks amazing, its absolutely terribly to play. According to the Horizon reddit mods, there is a fix in the works. I would recommend holding off until then.

    The characters and animations are vastly improved from the first one, especially    This review is with 20 hours under my belt over the last three days. And this is off 478h in H:ZD.
    First up is is simply drop dead beautiful. The amount of detail underfoot can NOT be understated. and even in resolution mode it runs solidly. (but TBF I was never one to subscribe to 60fps as a necessity)

    The characters and animations are vastly improved from the first one, especially the NPCs With Chainscrape's Cook and the Seriously annoyed/'done with it' Carja Soldier being highlights. And the writing/acting has has me laughing out loud on several occasions, which is not something I expected to be doing much of seeing how dark and depressing H:ZD's story was. Also Boomer worries me. (you'll see)

    Gameplay wise it's a case of same but different.

    I was disappointed to find that the 'lure' skill doesn't seem to be in existence any more. You get a lot of the old skills as default (like critical strike and silent strike...) so I really wanted to get back to lurking in the tall grass luring machines away from the heard to take them out silently. But no.

    I've actually come to the conclusion that this is a brilliant move as it makes separating and isolating machines more a matter of understanding how the machines act. you have to observe them and note how they respond to thinking they've seen something. You can use rocks (and the new inventory system means you are not gonna run out of rocks) to attract their attention, or just pop your head up when it's looking in your direction before taking cover again this will peek its curiosity and it could well stroll over to have a better look. This change for the better is also applicable to removal of the 'stealthomiter' (the are you hidden and how much noise are you making indicator). you can never be 100% certain you are fully hidden or that you are making minimal noise, and TBH that is how it should be.

    Anyway It's a Great game and will be a generation defining one.    … Expand

    Gameplaywise it's almost carbon copy of the first game: empty open world, bunch of robots and ... nothing else that i can remember.

    This game is absolutely breathtaking, amazing story, great character development, and the world is filled with different things to do. The Melee system in this game is much improved from the first game. Overall traversing through the world is a lot better and animations aren’t as lifeless as the first game. It seems like the developers really brought their A game 10/10.

This rinse & repeat formula is really GETTING OLD. I couldn't finish this game because I was way too bored. I feel like I've played this game a million times. GTA revolutionized open world games, Assassin's Creed & games like FarCry expanded the open world concept, but this genre has been dead in the water for over half a decade with absolutely no innovation.

No spoilers here, but I do believe they have very much improved and made the franchise better.

    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.
