    The game is really beautiful, impressive details (photo mode), improved gameplay compared to Zero Dawn, has new enemies and great artificial intelligence, in short, a challenging game.
    Horizon Forbidden West is magnificent !!!

    If you enjoyed the first game or open world action games in general you'll love this one. The enemies are unique, the combat is fun, the world is interesting, and it is without a doubt the best looking game ever released. I know some people have experienced odd bugs but I've only noticed some pop in here and there but it isn't a huge issue. I'm playing on the PS5 in resolution mode.

    Played all night! It is better than Horizon 1 in every way. Incredible achievement from Guerilla. Some reviewers were extremely harsh because it's a Sony exclusive (as usual) but don't be fooled. They are at the top of the industry for a reason!!! No one else makes games like this!

    Gran secuela que mejora, en todo a su antecesor, excelentes gráficos, animaciónes y muy estable en sus dos versiones 30 o 60 fps, la historia es muy buena y el diseño de las misiones principales y secundarias son estelares. Tiene sus problemas como poping en algunas zonas y algún bug que no afecta la experiencia significativamente.

    Un juegazo increíble, graficazos, paisajes preciosos, con movimientos y ataques fluidos. Un juego que merece la pena jugarlo 10 veces o las que hagan falta. Tiene una historia que continúa perfectamente el juego anterior, atrayendo al jugador a conocer más tanto de Aloy como de todo su alrededor.

    Искусственный интеллект машин а так же их разнообразие очень сильно радуют. схватки с машинами очень запоминающиеся и на высоком уровне сложности заставляют тебя приложить усилия и вырабатывать тактики чтобы одержать победу.
    Очень многое можно написать об этой великолепной игре, да боюсь у меня не хватит эпитетов чтобы выразить свое восхищение данной игрой.
    Лично я получил от игры даже немного больше того что ожидал, это идеальное продолжение первой части.
    Ну а тем кто ставит игре оценку ноль или единицу это какие то неадекваты, игра заслуживает 10 балов потому что была проделана колоссальная работа, и по каждому аспекту игра прибавила в разы! вообщем я крайне доволен игрой поэтому моя оценка 10 баллов, огромное спасибо Guerilla Games за ваш труд!

    The same horizon. Only more cast scenes with stupid dialogues that are terribly annoying. The plot is mediocre, otherwise more beautiful wider richer. 30 fps is unplayable, at 60 alas soap, chess upscaling?

    It's bigger, better, more beautiful, masterful voiceacting, improvement movement mechanics and gameplay across the board. Exciting story and cutscenes that truly blew me away in their delivery. This is how a sequel should be done!

    Es todo lo que una secuela debería ser.
    Mejora por completo a su antecesor un espectáculo gráfico y una locura lo que logran hacer en PS4 si duda uno de los juegos de el año.

    Очень красивая игра, от пейзажей захватывает дух, новые роботы просто восторг. Щекастинькая Элой ван лав.

    Perfect in every way, to build on Zero Dawn into this masterpiece - Guerilla have outdone themselves. Sony should be VERY proud to have such a quality studio.

    Protagonist is trash.
    NPCs are garbages.
    The story is boring.
    Side missions are useless.

    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.
