    Si te gustan los mundo abierto donde te tengas que perder y hacer misiones de ir de punto A a punto B. Excelente. Es un 10 para ti. Pero si buscas algo inovador o algún cambio sustancial a cualquier otro juego mundo abierto lamentablemente este juego es bastante genérico y todo lo que aparece aquí ya se ha visto. Gráficamente es un 10

    И так. Это мой первый и надеюсь последний отзыв тут, на какую либо игру. Простите, но я не смог пройти мимо, откровенного балабольства некоторых мамкиных критиков.
    Давайте по порядку.
    1. Графика - Я действительно очень удивлен, тому что несчастная девятилетняя PS4 способна вытащить такой графоний. Она ревет, кричит, пищит, но все же вывозит и свои 30 кадров отрабатывает как и    И так. Это мой первый и надеюсь последний отзыв тут, на какую либо игру.

    1. Графика - Я действительно очень удивлен, тому что несчастная девятилетняя PS4 способна вытащить такой графоний. Она ревет, кричит, пищит, но все же вывозит и свои 30 кадров отрабатывает как и задумывалось.
    Не хотелось бы такать пальцем в некоторых личностей, но кое кто, в кое каких последних релизах от мелкомягкого фила, графику до релиза под микроскопом разглядывал, которую на релизе так и не завезли... Кто-то там кукарекнул про 2013 год. Это можно смело расценивать как голос диванного критика из разряда "не читал, но осуждаю". Ну или просто зависть человека, которому по какой либо причине тайтл не доступен. Так что 10/10

    2. Открытый мир - Кто сказал что он пустой, можете смело отправляться на пустоши мира фалаут 76, ну или на худой конец любого из творений французов на юбисофте. Там разницы нет, одинаково, тупо, не интересно. Снова 10/10

    3. Сюжет. - Я игру не прошел даже до середины, так что могу судить только по тому что я уже видел. И то что я видел, мне нравится. Бывают финты и получше, а бывают и похуже. А бывает что из пальца сосут "если из пальца", да? Мастер Чиф. Так как не знаю чем закончится и куда заведет пока 5/10

    4, Прошлые грешки. Первую часть ругали за плохую лицевую анимацию и однообразные доп задания. В Запретном западе Анимации и допы возведены в абсолют. Найдите мне более живых второстепенных персонажей, тогда и поговорим, я таких не встречал. 10/10

    Вывод. Игра действительно достойная и на данный момент не имеющая конкурентов в своем жанре. Жалею только об одном, что не смог купить PS5, что бы насладится игрой на полную    … Expand

Just rest assured you will be investing in a stunningly realised world with an almost unbelievable amount of top-quality content. That Guerilla have poured their hearts and souls into this masterpiece is obvious from the very beginnng and they should be roundly applauded for creating such an exceptional work. And I’m playing on PS4 pro! I can only imagine what it’s like to play this on PS5. As someone with no vested interest in Guerilla Games as a company, I felt compelled to submit this in response to the abhorrent posts littering and generally befouling (that’s right, befouling!) these pages.

They still did an amazing job at getting such a huge and beautiful game running smoothly on old tech so well done to them. As for the game itself, everything that was great in zero dawn is even better now. Combat, exploration, narration, it all comes together really well and the side quests this time are way more interesting. Sadly Aloy still whispers her lines like she's afraid to be heard and it gets old fast. The rest of the voice cast is for the most part excellent, even for minor characters.

    A very beautiful game with a lot of side activities. The music is simply mesmerizing. The characters have become much more lively, the animations have become much better.

    Xbox shows its stupidity and jealousy by buying scoring sites and forcing them to give low scores
    This game is perfect

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While the game is a graphical masterpiece for the most part the rest of the game leaves mich to be desired.

    They have clearly tried to mimic to many games instead of implementing their own genuine take on what the universe should be.

    The games is full of bugs like audio glitches where you hear fighting when there is nothing around, the screen constantly flickers to a black screen while playing randomly even after the patch that supposedly fixed it. Audio cuts in an out during cut sceens an they have over abused that mechanic to the extent I skipped hours worth of them.

    The story is weak and I found the majority of characters to be very annoying to the point I also skipped my interactions with them.

    The combat is not a free flowing as it could be an seems to of been over thought. Almost all enemies just spam range attacks an they all can move faster than aloy.

    Enemies can have body armor while you cannot, animals that are nocturnal are out during the day time, other enemies also have guns while you still have spear an bow to rely on.

    All cauldrons an most events in the world are 15 to 30 mins of climbing an puzzles a mechanic that resembles the Breath of the wild shrines.

    The climbing is not very intuitive an they love to over use the actions as if aloy is almost going to fall an she leans back with one arm dangling off as if she still has no athletic ability or experience.

    The games is extremely resource dependent using metal shards to buy fast travel kits, an make repairs to any of your mounts, you'll need to scoure the entire map to hunt multiple animals over an over for upgrades.

    There is also way to many fetch quests that after time begin to feel repetitive an they begin to feel more like a chore than an enjoyable thing to do.

    Certain parts of the map you cannot even travel back to explore after beating the game an they have placed invisible boundaries around some towns an areas to keep you from using flying mounts to access them.

    Most of the good mechanics come to late in the game like the diving mask, flying ability or the paraglider. Additionally you cannot do combat underwater which is a total waste of opportunity as if making a spear gun is to difficult for your character who knows how to seize control of rogue robot AI.

    Certain aspects of the game like rebel camps do not feel organic enough, once again they all look fairly similar an same with what to expect when encountering them.

    The combat pit challenges are annoying an weak because its more or less you doing the same things you did in the tutorial section only in the challenge section an with a time limit.

    I feel like the game was drastically held back my ps4 as I am playing on ps5. If you played Horizon Zero Dawn then you have pretty much played this game already, heck even the opening of the game is mostly reused assets from zero dawn only with upgraded textures for visual fidelity.

    I am also put off that they have yellow ropes an yellow climbing points everywhere that clearly have no purpose thus ruining the overall feel that the world is truly organic. I also wish that if they were going to copy BOTW so much that they would have used its climbing mechanic rather than the route they chose to go.

    Overall I will say that they have done a good job upgrading Horizon, but I cannot see myself buying the next game in the series (an they will be making a next one clearly by how this one ends unless they make the combat more like recent assassin's creed games and unless they actually start letting aloy use her head an start making real weapons an armor since she is utterly surrounded by it yet keeps going back to primitive tools rather than being intelligent an trying to harness the things she finds an uses them to her advantage.

    I would honestly tell you to wait ✋️ an pick the game up when it goes on sale at some point unless you really do not have as high of standards or expectations with these new nextgen games.

    I will reiterate what I said earlier if you played Horizon Zero Dawn you have already played this game, the only difference is now you can swim an get a flying mount.    … Expand

Очень плохое взаимодействие героини с окружающим миром, ощущение, что якобы открытый мир с постоянными ограничениями.Ужасное продолжение. 2 балла за красочные пейзажи.

    the long-awaited second part, a very plausible plot, in theory such a future is quite likely, the motivation of each character is well explained. I got from the game only bright and positive emotions. This game is my love. P.S.: Those who do not like the game are misogynists, I advise them to play only DotA 2

    Много багов, управление корявое, вечно прыгает не туда куда смотришь или направляешь, вообще невозможно играть, некоторые квесты просто пропускаешь потому что вообще не понятно что делать куда идти, к примеру побочные корни 2 часа по пещере побегал, не нашел выхода отказался от квеста. Вобщем кроме графики в игре нет ничего, жалко потраченых денег и не советую к покупкеМного багов, управление корявое, вечно прыгает не туда куда смотришь или направляешь, вообще невозможно играть, некоторые квесты просто пропускаешь потому что вообще не понятно что делать куда идти, к примеру побочные корни 2 часа по пещере побегал, не нашел выхода отказался от квеста.

    Ce nouvel opus en compagnie de aloy nous laisse bouche bée par ces graphisme et sa dynamique, les combats sont moins monotone que sur son prédécesseur.
    Son voyage nous fait traversé de jolie paysage et nous font rencontre d’autres pnj vraiment top . Et un scénario toujours aussi maitrisé que sur le 1 .

    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.
