    Amazing game, huge step up from the first one. They improved on lacking areas of the first one but keeping the base. Narration is incredible and characters feels alive just like the world. Still some things need to improve but a great game. If you liked the first one, you'll love this one. People are just review bombing it so i'm givin it a 10 but it's probably a 8.5/9

    It’s an amazing gaming experience: awesome visuals (best I’ve ever seen on a console), great story (not as immersive as the first but still) and no bugs at all. Don’t listen to the haters trying to bring this masterpiece down..

    I wanted to love this game but the glitches got me. These “beautiful” pics people keep showing are cutscenes, and Sony pics. The real game isn’t very polished and is a bit boring. It’s been such a long wait for anything new from Sony, and this game will do for now, but I’m. It getting the return on my investment.

    This game is beautiful. That's how I'll start this. The game runs well, and there is a lot to do. If you go on Twitter you'll see people using this game as cannon fodder for whatever side of the console war you stand on. I love Xbox and it's my primary system. But Horizon Forbidden West is a well made game that deserves recognition.

If you don't like the gameplay because is about destroying robots with a bow and arrow then don't buy it, if you don't like the story then don't buy, there was an entire prequel with a DLC for those to realize that the game was not meant for them. Is the game the best game in the world? No. Is the game good and currently the best PS5 game exclusive? Yes. The game is great if you are expecting a beautiful game at 60 fps then this game is meant for you but before buying it please play Horizon Zero Dawn so you can find out if you like the gameplay and story so you don't waste $60 or more on a game you might not like.… Expand

No hay duda que es una gran decepción sino la más grande decepción de la PS5.
    No olvidemos los miles de bugs que tiene, como patinar en el suelo y el agua, seguir nadando en las flores, traspasar pisos o el de correr con pies de flash y otro que me paso donde se alentó prácticamente tal cual película de matrix y era injugable.
    Por último, los personajes tienen un bug en los ojos que no pueden tener un contacto visual sin mencionar el bug del cabello de Aloy y ni se diga el pésimo diseño de Aloy, supuestamente basado en una modela de lo cual no se parece nada y llega a ser muy incómodo estar usando a ese personaje, por quedar “políticamente” correctos crearon un monstruo.    … Expand

The machines are gorgeous and so fun to fight. Melee combat is improved. Hunting machines never gets boring.

    Bad-
    There are bugs and glitches that can ruin immersion. The stealth is very bland. Progression begins losing steam around the 15-20 hour mark.

    Thoughts-
    A game needs to be truly special for it to be able to make issues such as these seem insignificant, or at least forgivable, in the grand scheme of things. Thankfully, Horizon Forbidden West is that special. It is an impressive achievement that improves upon its predecessor in almost all the ways that it should have, and brings together all of its strengths in a sweeping, memorable adventure.    … Expand

    As expected the game delivers playstation studios magic. The game looks stunning from the beginning. I would have rated it 10 if I hadn't had few minor issues like anchor points stay for long time on screen after focus. I think it should be like death stranding only appear when using focus also performance mode should be improved for sharpness.

As I walk around the world I can hear every detail: from each indivual footstep that I take, to the bird taking off, to the mechanical noises of the machines nearby.
    Story and side quests have also improved over the prior release. You get to see many of your favorite characters from the previous game along with a whole new cast of likable characters. Each one has their own motives and story to tell.    … Expand

The plot is about as generic as it gets, and the characters are so bland that I have forgotten almost all of them since completing the game.

    The art style is interesting, but is let down by poor performance and bugs. This game is a huge step down in polish when compared to the likes of God of War and Ghost of Tsushima.

    Overall, I had a very poor experience with this game, and hope that any future instalments take massive strides to improve the formals, otherwise I may not purchase any future entries.    … Expand

    To keep it short and sweet, the game is a MUST PLAY and an early contender for GAME OF THE YEAR. Amazing visuals, engaging story, solid controls, and most importantly - FUN TO PLAY. Must own for any Playstation owner.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The quality of the world improved. AI, are more interactive and the world looks astonishing. But nothing revolutionary yet for this cross-gen game. Although Aloy has more expressions this time around, listening to the story still feels as dull as ever. At least the world and mounts are much more enjoyable. Traversal got way better!… Expand

    This game is top tier amazing. One of the best stories from a Playstation series. The graphics are beautiful. The open world is fun, the controls are tight and responsive. I can't think of a single bad thing about this.

Truly the best graphics I’ve ever seen in a video game to date. The world is so much more vibrant and beautifully detailed when compared to Horizon Zero Dawn, to the point where it almost makes the first game unplayable after playing Forbidden West. Guerilla has taken the already solid foundation of the first game and improved upon it in almost every aspect. The voice acting is phenomenal, and the facial animations are some of the most realistic I’ve ever seen. The mix of incredible graphics, engaging integration of the Dualsense capabilities, and 3D audio make this feel like a true next gen gaming experience - and that says a lot considering that this is a cross platform title. This is a world that the team Guerilla should be incredibly proud of, and one that every gamer should experience.… Expand

    A upgrade to Horizon Zero Dawn in every way imaginable. If you didn’t like that game then you probably won’t love this one but if you even thought the first was just ok this would should really impress you. Best graphics so far on the PS5 and the Dualsense integration is perfect.

    I've played about 25 hours and I can say that this game is awesome.
    The open world looks wonderful, the secondary quests have become fun to do. Also this game is very big and I love it.

None of the characters are very likeable or interesting and most of them serve their purpose to exposition dump you with story that is interesting but not very easy to understand. Aloy is still a very dull and uninteresting character and this time she doesn't have the interesting backstop to save her from being bad. Her design has gotten even worse and half the time I find it hard to even look at her with her weird facial expressions. The open world whilst far better than HZD in terms of landscape with an excellent use of real world locations is Unfortunately full of ubisoft style side content which isn't very engaging or fun. The not so good crafting system and gathering system has seen little improvement from HZD and honestly it's frustrating having to constantly pick up stuff over and over again after killing enemies. The game also suffers from some bugs which the first game didn't have. Nothing game breaking just immersion breaking.
    So overall a dissapointing sequel so far and from what I've heard the story gets worse later on. There are massive improvements in terms of combat but everything else aside from visuals are practically the same and the story is just not gripping me. I'm massively dissapointed with how similar the core game is to HZD which was a flawed as hell game.    … Expand

    The Game hasn't changed one of my biggest complaints with the first game the lack of an intresting character Aloy is still wooden with no personality and pretty hollow. The game technically is a mess with bugs that had me falling though the map and horrendous popin I would avoid this game

The enemy AI is smarter too, legit have to play it smart. I have not beaten this yet, but it’s my favorite game I’ve played next gen so far, I have it slightly above the PS5 ghosts of Tsushima directors cut which was my favorite PS5 game. God of War is my favorite game of all time, so it will have a tough time beating Ragnarok for my game of the year but this game has blown me away so far. (And now, back to it).… Expand

    Better than the original in every way!
    Graphics are better, side quests are improved, some quality of life features like more slots on weapons wheel and crafting without needing menus.
    A bit buggy here and there and platforming can use some work but overall a very good contender for goty so far.

Forbidden West brilla en todos sus apartados, una jugabilidad y combates épicos, una banda sonora memorable, una ambientación y gráficos apabullantes, y una historia y personajes que te involucran este esta gran odisea.

    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.
