    Simplesmente o melhor jogo de mundo aberto da historia, bateu o Red Dead 2 e o melhor jogo da geração, disparado, mas disparado mesmo!

    This game is stunning. However, that great graphics and the foto mode are just a really small of what horizon offers.

    The Soundtrack, the gameplay, the variety of enemies, strats to defeat them, the secondary missios.. everything is great.

    If you own a Play Station, don't think twice, Horizon is a must-Play

    One of the best games I've been able to complete, the first one I platinum and I loved it, but in this installment they improved everything 100%. The world, exploration, combat, everything feels so well done that it's a pleasure to play, graphically it is absolutely spectacular, even on PS4 consoles.

    Certainly one of the candidates for the GOTY.

    Se presenta como un digno sucesor de la primera entrega. Consigue atraparte desde el primer minuto mostrándote una calidad gráfica envidiable que amén de sus limitaciones técnicas lo cual es totalmente normal en un sistema cerrado como una consola no deja de ser un título muy disfrutable.

    Boring mediocre open world game. Bland locations, repetitive gameplay. Too much lot of dialogues and cutscenes, graphics is good, feels like a movie, but story for me wasn't so interesting, it depends on knowledge of first game. Feels like single player mmorpg with a lot of grind. Collect resources, clean camps, same stuff you do in other open world games.

    Played for about 25 hours as of writing this review. Currently playing on Very Hard difficulty,

    Horizon Forbidden West improves upon 2017's Horizon Zero Dawn in pretty much every way: - The graphics are state of the art. - The world feels alive, is more vibrant, more vertical, denser, and packed with many things to discover. Although if you just want to play it for the story, you    Played for about 25 hours as of writing this review. Currently playing on Very Hard difficulty,

    Horizon Forbidden West improves upon 2017's Horizon Zero Dawn in pretty much every way:
    - The graphics are state of the art.

    - The world feels alive, is more vibrant, more vertical, denser, and packed with many things to discover. Although if you just want to play it for the story, you can. The game allows you to play as little or as much as you want.

    - There is a lot of dynamic music, which makes the soundtrack fit any situation you find yourself in. I really appreciate stuff like this in games.

    - Traversal is much more open and diverse, with special gear allowing you to explore land, air, and underwater.

    - Animations are a meteoric leap in quality compared to Zero Dawn (facial animations especially).

    - Progression and customisation are much more meaningful, with many skill trees, perks, weapons, and more to choose from. Many new weapon types are added, and new additions "Valour Surges" and "Weapon Skills" provide even more choice in how you want to proceed in battle.

    - Side quests are significantly better, with most feeling-like main quests.

    - UI is streamlined, and many QoL features are added. Some favourites of mine are the addition of a Quick Scan for your Focus, allowing you to detect points of interest instantly without needing to slow down the gameplay with a Precise Scan from the Focus, and the addition of a Stash. The Stash collects all excess materials gained during gameplay, making the tedious inventory management in Zero Dawn a thing of the past. All you do now is click the "Restock" button when you access a Stash and you're ready to go!

    There are certain aspects that could use some improvement however:
    - Although traversal is significantly better and you can climb many many more things compared to Zero Dawn, do not expect freedom on the level of Breath of the Wild. You are still relegated to specific points to climb. Because of this, you will be using R3 a lot to see what you can and cannot climb. It's a bit of a weird middle ground and I do hope that in maybe a 3rd game, Guirella can come up with a climbing system that does provide the level of freedom Breath of the Wild has, without making Aloy look like Spider-Man with her sticking to any and every surface.

    - Melee combat is also significantly better compared to Zero Dawn, with a bunch of new combos added...but it's still not great to be honest. It requires a lot of investment in your build to make it viable against machines, and it still feels quite floaty. There are Weapon Skills and Valour Surges that augment melee, but you will be sticking to ranged combat most of the time, especially on harder difficulties were enemies are strong enough to one or two shot you.

    - Performance Mode could be better. Although it provides a locked 60fps (which is awesome), there is a noticeable drop in fidelity, with more shimmering, and pop-in present. This will be better or worse for you depending on the resolution and how big your display is. I personally find 30fps atrocious to play on, so I just deal with it. If you want a fully uncompromised experience, then the inevitable future PC port will provide that. With all, the game still looks amazing on Performance Mode.

    One thing I will have to mention is that the game is noticeably buggier compared to Zero Dawn. It's no Cyberpunk 2077 at launch, but I did encounter some minor traversal glitches, some graphical glitches, and at one point, a memory leak that made the game drop from 60fps to 30fps with frame skipping. This was easily fixed by resetting the game. Guirella are evidently on top of this by releasing patches and hotfixes quickly to further polish the game.

    Story wise, the game expects you to know the story and lore of Horizon Zero Dawn and its Frozen Wilds DLC from the onset of Forbidden West. It has been 5 years since Zero Dawn released, so if you don't remember crucial things from that game then I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend either watching a recap or playing the game before playing Forbidden West. If you do not, then I guarantee that you will be lost from the jump. There is a short recap at the start of Forbidden West but it's not good enough frankly.

    In conclusion. Horizon Forbidden West is awesome. If you enjoyed Zero Dawn, then I don't see why you won't love this game. Even if you didn't enjoy Zero Dawn that much, I still recommend trying this game out when you have the chance. Its numerous upgrades will most likely provide a much better experience for you.    … Expand

    Surprised that no one mentioned new feature: you can enable gyro aiming in settings and believe me it makes you far more accurate, but requires a bit of training to master.
    If you finished Zero Dawn on hard and still remember how to play, choose hard difficulty.

    I will focus on the downsides now.
    Can confirm, that issue when Alloy constantly tells you what to do is an issue even on hard difficulty. Even more frustrating, that she is silent when you are actually lost.
    Bugs are very rare and aren't terrible, just glitching NPCs in the background of cut-scenes and sometimes screen goes black for a second.
    What actually drives me mad, that critical hit when machine is down must be pressed only when hint appears, you can't just keep mashing R1 button while being nearby. Have no idea why, in Zero Dawn it was just fine.
    P.S.: stop wasting your time on reviews, just go play it already.    … Expand

There are no real graphic scenes when boxes are opened, which was already possible with RDR2 4 years ago on "Oldgen". I'm also not really convinced of the graphics because the texture always looks the same, which means that you don't recognize a lot of things, for example items lying around, it's almost impossible to recognize them without focus. this means that you have to press the focus every few seconds. I am very disappointed with the game and the 70€ is not worth the **** better wait until it's offered for 30€ even then I wouldn't buy it if all the bugs aren't fixed -> which can take a while because there are sooo many bugs. HFW was one of the games why I bought the PS5 another is GOW Ragnarock but I will definitely not buy it at full price. when needed and only if I still have the PS5 because I'm actually considering selling it!… Expand

    A lot of the bad reviews are probably just xbox fanboys, but I can say that this game is exactly what we wanted from the previous HZD. It is just as amazing as the first. The story is interesting, the graphics are phenomenal it is a game that deserves a high rating and not these crybaby Xbox fanbys.

    I'm very happy to have had the opportunity to play it, the story held me until the end, the landscapes made me stop to admire them, and the gameplay has a good difficulty, the enemies have a complex gameplay construction.

    There's a lot of positives to take from it, with some slight negatives.

    In terms of negatives, there's really only one main one, if you play for a good length of time in a row, you will start to encounter the odd glitch here or there, I've personally had traps falling through the floor and still remaining until a fast travel and spinning enemies once defeated. However a restart of the game does fix those I've found. Seen several others mention various glitches online after decent length playtimes, but can't confirm nor deny those claims.

    In terms of positives, there's plenty. While I would have to imagine that everyone who picks up Forbidden West, will have played Zero Dawn, it does a good job at giving a quick recap of the first game for those who either haven't played Zero Dawn or have had a long time away.

    The new enemies, the revamped resource collection and the stash are massive, massive positives for the general gamer. Even though personally I have over 3000 ridgewood in my stash and around a thousand healing berries that will never get used, but it's a good feature to have for sure.

    It's a game that serves the story well, not only that but it delivers on what the people who loved the first one liked, and then some. Some underwater parts are a bit annoying, but much less annoying than other games that feature underwater sections.

    Overall, it's a fantastic game, really showing off the power of the PlayStation 5 specs. Shows that the ninth generation of video game consoles can really do amazing. A lot more to come from both sides of the consoles for sure.    … Expand

    one of the most polished games i’ve ever played. no bugs. great control system. great story line and the way it’s told. the way the story is told is one of the best i’ve ever seen. the graphics are great even on performance mode for PS5. the sequel i’ve been waiting for that out does it’s predecessor Horizon Zero Dawn. I for sure wasn’t expecting it to be better than HZD but it is is.

    Takes everything good and bad about Horizon Zero Dawn and makes it even better. One particular improvement that grips me is the improvements on facial animations. The world feels alive with actual characters rather than stiff, unfeeling robots.

    I was a fan of original for its deep and thrilling scifi story, lore about what happened to this beautiful world and exploring every nook and cranny to find all the details i can, combat systems and machines were also good. But i also had some major gripes with original like Traversal across the world, Character animations, melee combat.

    Forbidden west improves significantly in many many ways and in some cases goes beyond imaginable. Everyone talks about how much of a visual splendour it is . Trust me forbidden west is the best looking game ever made but apart from visuals, lot of things that changed which add significantly to the experience like melee combat is amazing, skill trees are much helpful, Enemy variety has been vastly improved, Enemy AI reacts more to the environment and their moveset has also been improved, But bigger one is open world quest structures like Side quests/exploration quests/rewards/errands/npcs system is a big stepup from original and right up there with top guys. Character animations is top notch, traversal has also been improved with the help of glider, grapple hook, flying mounts, underwater explorations. Story is still much gripping as ever and some of the plot twists and turns will blow you away if you’re fan of scifi. Some of the newer additions have also been amazing like machinestrike board game (which is addictive like chess), Underwater exploration is the best, varied Geographical locations, lighting is gamechanger, companion quests are up there with mass effect.

    There are cons also to this game:
    Open world physics is still the same as the original. Many parts of the environment doesn’t react to your moves like trees getting chop down, fire, acid other elemental arrows/effects doesn’t do much to environment. Guerilla could have simply added it but they wanted to keep the spirit of the original i.e having the discovery channel esque beautiful world where you can soak in its beauty and rather than breaking it down. Climbing is still not fully free like there will be defined multiple paths and some of the altitudes cannot be reached.

    Most of the times this game is compared to the BOTW since they get released in span of few weeks. Comparing these two games is dumb because they’re radically different games and they’re trying to achieve different goals. BOTW is a open world sandbox where you explore with the game physics/engines to play around to your elemental strengths and it cares more about the open world than story, animations, basic melee combat, enemy variety and more about the exploration where every minute of the game spent to surprise you but at times like rewards for this exploration are not that great most of the exploration will reward you with either shrine/korok seed/chest which gets boring after sometime.

    Similarly horizon is an epic scifi adventure which is set in this gorgeous open world where you soak the beauty of it in your eyes. Story and lore, combat and enemy systems are its strengths.

    I would seriously suggest people to explore this game you will be blown away by how many secrets you can uncover. That’s why the rating of 10/10.    … Expand

    Horizon Forbidden west or the Horizon of Patience is PASSED.
    Bad moments: the plot is a dull something written by a fifth grader, the characters are inexpressive, the whole vast world is an empty forest desert, an assassin-level RPG system

    Let me start off by saying that I wasn’t really a big fan of the original Horizon so cracking into this one was a little refreshing. If your not a fan of storytelling in a video game then you’re going to be a little disappointed as this game has a lot of dialogue. It’s dialogue didn’t bother me as much as the first because the voice actors did a better job telling the story.

The graphics are beautifully done and Horizon sure look superb. Between the two graphical settings I chose to play the performance setting at 60fps as it feels more natural to my eyes.

    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.
