    Really good story too when it kicks off after 4-5 main missions.

    Absolutely beautiful game with a good story yes some side quests are abit repetitive but as someone who only has a Playstation for the exclusives and mainly play's on Xbox and Pc I've gotta say games like this are what Microsoft studios should be looking at to make great Exclusives of their own.

    The graphics and detail are just incredible. However, because of all this colorful vegetation everywhere, my eyes is rippling. I'll have to get used to it. 60 FPS on the TV is so smooth that it feels like 144 on the monitor. In quality mode, the game looks even better, but the differences are not particularly large, and it hurts to look at 30 FPS after 60.

Side quests have become more interesting. In one of the first quest, they asked me to find a frying pan, haha. Aloy is cute and she has normal cheeks. I liked it when Avad complimented her and she was embarrassed. It seems that the developers are not going to make her a lesbian for the sake of fashion trends, and this pleases. Expand

I’m 25 hours in and encountered hardly any bugs. None that were game breaking. Impressive for an open world game of this size and scope on release day. That’s just my experience of course, but still, Cyberpunk?

More than once I was in complete awe of the technical achievements, the fantastic twists in the story, and breathtaking scenery, the extraordinary creatures, and brilliant performances. For each shortfall I found in Zero Dawn, Forbidden West has an answer that I love, or at the very least appreciate.

    The story is absolutely captivating. For the best experience, it is absolutely worth playing Horizon Zero Dawn, and for those who played it many years ago, worth jump in for a few hours for a refresh. The story of Forbidden West picks up directly after Zero Dawn, and though it does an excellent job of catching the player up on the overarching story beats, remembering the finer details and characters will make the sequel that much more impactful. Plus, being able to recognise the massive leap in technical quality also makes for an even more enjoyable experience.

    Of everything I am impressed by, the story is right up there. I am not forgiving of excessive cutscenes as a crutch for games, but every cutscene felt fruitful and seamlessly integrated, and more than once I found myself lost in the performances of the cast.

    I felt a strong pang of affection and admiration as the opening credits rolled, a feeling that persists as I play now 25 hours in. What Guerrilla have achieved is nothing short of a miracle, and I have enormous respect for the team that put this game in my hands.

    Note: despite reports of bugs and pop in, I only experienced 1 minor bug and 1 instance of pop in when racing. Otherwise, the game runs seamlessly on my PS5.

    Если-бы в режиме производительности графика была-бы чуть по-лучше, поставил бы 10 а так твёрдая 9 А сама игра превосходная

    This game is amazing. The story gets more interesting after every mission. The first game was my favourite game until now.

    Great sequel. One of the most beautiful worlds in video games. The dualsense's features feels good.

    - Stupid hero that talks with herself whole game
    - 0 new gameplay mechanics in comparison from 1st game
    - Climbing mechanic is really bad
    - Sooooo much SJW
    - Storyline is worst that I saw

    Horizon Forbidden West достойное продолжение Zero Dawn, она во всё превосходит первую часть. Боевая система притерпела немало изменений, открытый мир стал более живым. И самое главное, за что ругали первую часть - побочные задания! В сиквеле их стало интересно проходить и более того, они срежиссированы почти как основные задания.Horizon Forbidden West достойное продолжение Zero Dawn, она во всё превосходит первую часть.

    The open world is more interesting than in Zero Dawn, like new cutscenes even for small sidequests. Better in all aspects than Zero Dawn

    They took everything from first game and improved it and polished it then added a whole lot more to it. GOTY has found its winner pretty early

    Excelente. El mejor juego de la historia. El gameplay es lo mejor que he juegado en 20 años.
    Las críticas negativas son basura.

    I can't stop playing less than 7 hours a day. There's something that pulls me back to it after the first few hours it turns into an addictive game that I dare you to stop playing it

    The game is very very boring. After 3 hours of gameplay, you understand that everything is dull and monotonous. .

    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.
