    Excelente jogo, evolui todos os aspectos do primeiro game, que por si só ja era um bom jogo. Historia, mundo, gameplay, tudo esta maior e melhor, sem cometer o pecado de outros games de mundo aberto, que repetem muito as mesmas atividades ate que se tornem enjoativas.

    It's honestly the most next gen game I've ever played so far. The game and world is extremely beautiful and full of so much to do and accomplish. Giving how big the world is I'm extremely surprised on how non existent loading screens are. I'm extremely satisfied of what Guerilla games have accomplished with this game. The game is so much fun with a great storyline to hook the player in.

I gave the game a 9 because I think it really is a masterpiece of a game that’s held back by some old design philosophies. Namely its questing interface and traversal. Guerrilla designed the game around using quest markers for each sub task, so it can be more frustrating than immersive to play without them, and confusing when you turn it on and a long-lost villager shows up as a specific marker on your HUD. The climbing also seems to have been made intentionally worse. The main character will often jump in the exact opposite direction you’re shouting at her to go. However, the story is phenomenal, the characters are more interesting this time around, and fighting robots dinosaurs is an ethereal experience thanks to the PS5’s turbo blast processing. This game could be a masterpiece if moving around the world was snappier, and there was less of a Skyrim-like mission structure of “follow the marker.” However, I don’t fault the developer for these issues. I’d assume that based on the quality of the other aspects of the game, they likely prioritized expanding the strengths of their last game (combat and story) and succeeded in fixing their biggest blunder (the facial animations in the new game are miles better than Zero Dawn). While it’s tempting to sit here and dream about what this game could’ve been, I’d really rather just fight a thunder jaw again! I found that Hard difficulty made combat more engaging than the easier modes but MUCH more bearable than Ultra Hard. I’d recommend playing on Hard at first and changing the difficulty it you find yourself having less fun. Get the game, just be aware it’s not going to cure cancer.… Expand

    It does take a while getting into movement and climbing (It's not free climb like other games) but that's the only down side I have. Incredible game, really blowing me away at the moment. Stunning graphics, great story, fighting incredible, machines awesome! With a few bugs fixed Id give it a 10, 9 for now.

    As a fan of the original, I am further in awe of the new game. A direct follow on from Zero Dawn but with everything made to look better, flow better and continue the deep, fascinating world that began in the first game. If you liked Zero Dawn, even slightly, you'll love this.

The visuals are absolutely stunning, the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers feel great, wether you’re using your bow, roaming around on a charger, or exploring some ruins, it just all feels great. The settlements feel so alive. I found myself just watching what some of the settlers do throughout the day. There’s so many amazing side quests to get lost in, and many of them have complete stories of their own instead of just being fetch quests.

    And lastly, the area that surprised me the most; The story still has that same sense of mystery and discovery that game Horizon Zero Dawn it’s magic. This game is an easy 9/10 - 10/10. My tip? Don’t ever trust the gaming opinion of anyone who gave this game a zero.     … Expand

Otra cosa es el problema de físicas, falla mucho.

    Otra cosa que le ha molestado mucho es la mira al apuntar, está muy rápida y aunque he cambiado en las opciones todo, no veo que haga diferencia. También jugarlo en modalidad de vídeo dar prioridad a resolución hace que el juego sea injugable, se ve horrible, mejor lo puse en mejorar rendimiento.

    The game looks great. It runs almost smooth in PS4, imagine a 9 yr old console running the next gen games. It just proves that they took their time to finish this game. The story is nice also. The only problem with this game is, it has so many bugs, but most of them they don't break the game. Overall, this is another great game from Sony. I hope they release patches to fix the bugs.

    Absolutely boring. Every video game trope that has been in every other game. Incredibly buggy, I kept phasing into walls and getting stuck. Only game where I actually called Sony for a refund, which I didn't get. Only thing done well is graphics.

    The battle between the natural and firmly unnatural is everywhere to see in the Forbidden West.

It drills down through many levels to what the Horizon series is all about, from the vines strangling the remains of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge to the animal-like man-made machines that wander the land, tracing the footsteps of their long-dead creators. But this clash also takes place inside Aloy, who (spoilers for the first game) herself is a complicated combination of human and synthetic life. It's what drives the plot along and lends a personal touch to what could be otherwise ungainly themes if handled without the obvious care that developer Guerrilla Games has put into Forbidden West.… Expand

At first there were a few bugs but they were hilarious. There was one that was kind of frustrating when we fell through the ground but that was the only huge frustrating bug but it only happened once (recently asked my friend a few days later and he said it still hasn’t happened again) the other bugs were very minor and barely or didn’t even impact the game in the slightest, and again the were very comical. I’ve seen a bunch of angry xbox fanboys who created new accounts to review the game badly even though they didn’t play it. so I’d thought I’d do the opposite. Anyway back to the game. It is GORGEOUS, like Forza horizon 5 level gorgeous. The story was very intriguing as well and my friend and I were super interested in the story. (We both never played Zero Dawn as well) I’m not a huge dinosaur guy but the way they are portrayed in this game is AWESOME. In my personal opinion it’s not enough alone to buy a ps5 (unless you pair it with other awesome Sony exclusives) but if you already own a ps5 and or ps4 I HIGLY RECOMMEND THIS. I only scraped the tip of the ice berg of all this game has to offer. Definitely worth it though. You NEED to experience this game for yourself… Expand

    Had to register because of unfair ratings from trolls. The developers did not promise us some kind of revolution, they promised us a good sequel to a good game from 2017. This is what we got. Why drown the game in bad ratings, if this game is objectively 8-8.5 points? Are you envy? In a few years it will be released on PC and you will be able to play it too.

    A Tour de Force of a sequel with stunning graphics and a great story, only slightly let down by the 1800p checker board solution for performance mode (60fps).

    Hence I spent my time playing in native 4k resolution for a sharper cleaner image.

    Interesting story. Rewarding side quests. A vast open world with plenty to do.

    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.
