    Don't pay attention to the review bomb in progress. I actually own the game and I can tell you it's probably the best ps5 game I've played yet. It's beautiful in every way. Gameplay is amazing, story is incredible. Absolutely 10/10

    One of the best games I’ve played in a while. The graphics are so good. A few little bugs but nothing game-breaking. Totally different experience, I was in love with the first one but this one is absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to progress, It’s a game you just want to take your time with.

    This game is just short of a MasterClass. The only issue I’ve had so far is that sometimes the climbing and platforming can feel a bit clunky. Otherwise this game is just perfection, the new fighting mechanics are insanely fun and the visuals are superb . Well done guerilla, you guys really nailed this.

It's a bit like "I don't know what you're going through, but I have to help".

    I kept thinking a bit about its rating that I give it, why is it bad? No, the game is not bad but it has errors that can be perfectly improved, leaving that aside, it is a good game, but I hope they can fix what is broken is.    … Expand

    The game looks nice but it does not really feel new. Its also VERY shallow, no depth at all. For a 2022 game, that is kinda not okay. Unless being a total fanboy, i would only get this when on sale.

The story, characters, world-building, and setting have all been expanded/improved upon from the first game. The plot itself is compelling and it's nice to see old faces amongst new ones. The soundtrack is perfect and similar to the old game with just enough subtle differences to make it sound foreign to those who played the first game. The accessibility options are also top shelf and give the player a range of settings to tailor to their own experiences.

    Overall, Horizon Forbidden West is a fantastic game and open to veterans of the franchise, or new players looking for new experiences.    … Expand

    Takes all the problems of the first game and fixes them. The biggest change being that all conversations are dynamically animated and the story is told in a much more engaging way that has really gripped me.

    So far, this game has the makings of a masterpiece. The story is intriguing so far, the gameplay is much improved, particularly the melee combat, and there’s so much fun to do. I’ve experience a few minor bugs (nothing game breaking) which keeps it from a 10 but overall, this game is a must play for anyone who enjoys open-world action games.

    Great looking game, fun game play, amazing story. Not sure why people care about hair on a woman’s face, seems kinda weird and low to review bomb a game based on real anatomy, but to each their own I guess. Looks good on the PS4 as well and it’s a free upgrade to ps5 version.

    PS: you need to play the first game to understand most of what’s going on.

Completely unplayable and shameful for a first party studio, especially one from Sony who is the benchmark for quality in the industry when it comes to presentation. Ignore the ignorant, paid YouTubers who can’t talk about this. And most importantly never trust teams like Digital Foundry ever again. What an utter disgrace.

    This feels like a defining moment for the new generation of consoles. Almost everything in the first game has been improved upon. Gameplay, environments, character models, and a narrative that is often far deeper, far more compelling than the simple quest for identity storyline of the first game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have logged in a solid 20hour in this game tearing into Machines, Collecting Berries, Diving into Sunken caves, walking through and marveling the rich lush world of Horizon; and I have just made it to the Forbidden West. My rating is a 9.5 but I don’t mind rounding up. 1. The Side quest are so good I’ve essentially been looking for them instead of playing the main story and what’s great about them is they seamlessly guide back to the main story! Not the first game to do it but it’s well done here. 2. The machines are absolutely well done! The AI for their behavior is quite interesting, they have strategies in their approach, they also have self preservation behavior when they are on the brink of elimination.

    3. At first the combat seemed a bit clunky, but once you get a hang of the combat, the fluidity is impeccable, the amount of possibilities in how you take down enemies. 4. The Story so far is a much more mature take on the first one, very political, and the attention to tribe culture and their interactions with the world and one another is so well crafted so far.

    5. The Sounds of Horizon is really one of the secret sauce of this game in my opinion. the way the songs will get more upbeat as you are in the thick of battle, the way it becomes a backdrop when you’re just exploring, the choice of Instruments for each major part of the game tells a story of deep folklore and Story.

    6. I don’t need to say much about the graphics, I’ve spent some time in photo mode and go see it for yourself. Oh and the fun of playing board games and practice your combos in melee pits is such a great addition to the game! The game has a few bugs here and there but nothing game breaking, just bit immersion breaking but it’s very short lived.    … Expand

    Basically what everyone is saying that gave horizon 10 Rating . Writing this because holy **** how sad do you have to be to review bomb a game and not to mention the double standards of some of the metascore are. Metacritic you really need to implement a new system to avoid this bs.

    After playing for 15 hours, I can confidently say that the game has become more interesting in the mechanics of combat and has become better in the mechanics of movement.

Of course, not everything is so perfect... I would put the voice acting 6/10, as in the first part. The voice acting has become better, but sometimes unpleasant noises are heard, often the voice acting is very quiet and therefore it is difficult to play without subtitles. It would be nice to add a 1080p 60 fps graphics mode with higher graphics settings, although it's not bad. The "Skills" section has become too overloaded and Eloy studied many skills in the first part and therefore it is stupid to study them again. There is no normal comparison of the current equipment with the sold one, and since there is an improvement system, it is impossible to understand what characteristics the equipment will have after the improvement. Everything is fine, but there is much to strive for.… Expand

    Gameplay
    The budget is very present, mechanics feel smooth and strong. Movement, Combat and other utility mechanics are improved from the first game. Enemies are bigger and tricky to deal with.

    However, interacting with the world itself is mundane, the overwhelming majority of the areas are nice wallpaper that is quite forgettable outside a few landscape areas designed for photo mode fans. The world is very similar to a Ubisoft title with very little substance and is completely carried by the graphics. Games like BOTW, RDR2 and even the Yakuza franchise have their own open worlds but do everything they can to show that the world is independent of the MC while still making the MC and the player by proxy belong in the world. Take out the story the world is like a skeleton. There is nothing here except a powerful budget. The side quest is practically identical to the original. Simple fetch quest, hunt missions or base raids, that involve very boring characters who are basically there to add time to the game.

    Story
    Building on the first one, the narrative continues Aloy's journey in the Horizon universe. I don't want to spoil anything because if were a fan of the first then you will enjoy the story this game offers. However, there are some glaring issues that haven't been addressed since the first game. The characters are very generic and no one in either the protagonist or the antagonist factions seem interesting. They all have simple motivations and the dialogue between character seem very uninspired. Expect to see a lot of dialogue and character interactions you see in C list movies. Despite the negatives I have said about the narrative, there are a few OBJECTIVE flaws in the game's story. The characters make sense in their motivations and ideologies, but do not go into this hoping to see a Scorsese masterpiece.

    Aloy
    She is a nice character albeit a bit generic at times. And generic is fine if your character can make the story enjoyable. Nathan Drake is a perfect example of this. Aloy has a personality that makes her feel like she is an in-depth human being but she is very much the generic character that she tries very hard not to be. Her biggest flaw is that while she is generic, she is also boring to watch. When she interacts with other characters, she seems like she is in a Disney channel show, where everything seems robotic. Despite being one of the few ginger MC, she lacks originality. In the original, her character arc was much more present in the story but in the sequel, it seems like she only belongs in the story because the devs made her the main character. She tries to make herself distinct from the other protagonists' faction characters but it never feels natural. Lost Judgement had the same obstacle with Yagami but they managed to clear it with ease, by using his morals and making sure that Yagami is the only one that can play his role in the narrative. For Aloy in Forbidden West, that distinction is never made and ultimately weakens her character responsibility in the story by dropping in the stakes both morally and literally.

    Overall 6/10
    If you like the original, you should get this game, you will most likely enjoy it. If you arent familiar with the franchise, it's best for you to try the original and then pick up the sequel if you like it. I think this game is very much overhyped but also very much overhated.    … Expand

    It may have pretty visuals but Horizon Forbidden West falls prey to repetition in the story and gameplay like the first game. Like the first game, everything works fine but after so much repetition you get tired of it and start to hate it. The game does have some good moments of course and like i said, the visuals are good but this ends up being a disapointment like the first game was

    Guerilla have raised the bar ladies and gentlemen, this game is so close to a masterpiece in every way possible, it improves everything on the first game and its now the most visually stunning game ever made and thats a fact. The conversations and animations of the interactions make it look so real and relatable. The exploration is ama,zing, there is so much to do in this game.

    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.
