    Absolutely superb game. One of the best I've ever played. The graphics, gameplay, story and acting are all on another level. Excellent.

    fini Horizon 2. Je l’ai terminé à 92% : il me manque 1 quête annexe qui a buggé, et peut être quelques sous missions que je n’ai pas trouvé, certaines ne s’enclenchant que si on retourne dans une zone de la map, faudra que je vérifie. Et il me manque principalement des fichiers audio ou de lecture du monde. Sinon c’est du quasi 100%.

Je l’ai terminé à 92% : il me manque 1 quête annexe qui a buggé, et peut être quelques sous missions que je n’ai pas trouvé, certaines ne s’enclenchant que si on retourne dans une zone de la map, faudra que je vérifie. Et il me manque principalement des fichiers audio ou de lecture du monde. Sinon c’est du quasi 100%.

    Il m’a fallu 93 heures de jeu, ce qui est très largement suffisant, et franchement je n’ai pas trouvé le temps aussi long que d’autres jeux du même style, donc c’est que l’aventure est assez équilibré.

    Les points positifs:

    - La map est vraiment très grande (je dirais au moins 2 fois celle du 1er opus, si ce n’est plus)
    de très nombreux biomes (forêt, jungle, désert, montagnes, océans, etc…). C’est hyper diversifié
    une végétation dense
    - des robots beaucoup plus nombreux et toujours aussi bien modélisés
    - les personnages ont largement gagné en finesse et en détail, même les PNJ
    - de beaux effets de lumières avec un cycle jour / nuit réussi
    - une bande son sympa, même si j’aurais aimé plus de « chants » (comme on peut en entendre dans le prologue)
    - Les combats à distance sont plus élaborés (limitation plus forte des pièges qu’on peut poser, ce qui oblige à analyser chaque ennemis, ses points faibles, etc…)
    - Le scénario et les quêtes annexes sont vraiment soignés. On en apprend beaucoup plus que je l’avais imaginé sur l’univers de Aloy et ce qui s’est passé sur terre. Ca fait plaisir de voir une suite qui va beaucoup plus loin que d’autre sagas qui stagnent volontairement.

    Les points négatifs:

    - malgré les nombreuses mises à jour, beaucoup de bugs (personnages qui restent coincés dans le décors, coffre enfoui dans le sol, sprites qui sont bloqués dans les airs, apparition de gros bloc au dernier moment). Beaucoup trop de soucis et pas mal de bugs qui m'ont valu de devoir relancer la console pour les contourner.

    - Si on joue concentré sur sa partie, on s’en rend moins compte. Mais si on s’amuse à uniquement regarder son environnement, on constate l’apparition des ombres au dernier moment, apparition de textures, d’éléments au dernier moment, c’est flagrant.

    - le brouillard quasi omniprésent. Même s’il est souvent « esthétique » (c’est à dire pas un effet brouillard N64, mais plus travaillé), on s’aperçoit des limites techniques du titre, surtout à la fin quand on peut se déplacer différemment (ne voulant pas spoiler). La console souffre à ce moment là et on sent le côté cross gen PS4 qui limite les choses

    - des bugs de missions sur la map (des trucs qui réapparaissent alors qu’on les a déjà fait)

    - les combats au corps à corps sont vraiment nuls, c’est un calvaire (aucune possibilité de locker son ennemie, ça devient n’importe quoi en combat rapproché)

    - Au niveau des cinématiques, ça manque encore du charisme ou de l’intensité d’émotions qu’on peut voir dans The Last Of Us par exemple.

    - l’arbre de compétence est très vite rempli, et on ne se sert jamais de toutes les options / armes qu’on débloque. Un truc plus condensé aurait été mieux

    - blocage au level 50. C’est con, pourquoi l’avoir limité ainsi alors que j’avais déjà ce level quasi à la moitié du jeu (vu que je fais le jeu à 100%, ça monte vite)
    l’escalade est perfectible.

    Au final, je le trouve meilleur que le 1er même s’ils ont peut être eu les yeux plus gros que le ventre techniquement. Ca reste le plus bel open world que j’ai fait avec un scénario que je trouve très intéressant et bien complet.

    Je pense que beaucoup de bugs et autres défauts techniques auraient pu être gommé si c’était un vrai jeu PS5. Le prochain Horizon devrait donc s’annoncer bluffant. Chapeau à Guerilla qui est vraiment monté en puissance ces dernières années.

    Je lui mettrais la note de 8.5 / 10. Les points manquants venant essentiellement des bugs à répétition, des combats au corps à corps totalement loupés (avis perso), de la dernière mission en dessous de mes espérances (surtout les derniers boss trop faciles) et des multitudes armes ou compétences qui ne servent finalement à rien. Pour le reste c’est du tout bon pour ceux qui aiment les jeux d’aventure dans un monde vaste, beau et diversifié, le tout avec un scénario que je trouve très bien construit.    … Expand

    Obviously the graphics are something absolute jawdropping in FW. But...
    The combat is broken. There is too many different "elementals" ("watering" really?) In ZD I used all arsenal, in FW only bow. Weapons here are nerfed, they reload forever, or do not do any damage, or limit movement, or have little ammo, or ammo is made out of rare ingrediens. Really bad. Fortunately bow arrows are cheap and easily made, so I got my hands on best bow I could find and stuck with it until the end. Oh, and the main weapon, spear is SUPER useless with weird combos.
    Machines are even more like animals now. If you reskin them as crocodiles, monkeys and kangaroos and snakes it still would look credible.
    I hated violin music during the game. Please, its 2022, do not act like its XIX century... Better use cold minimal electronics instead, like when Alloy got to San Francisco.
    Game is too long for anyone willing to platinum it. You could easily cut off 20% of that. When I play game each day for more than 2 weeks, I get bored almost every time. FW was not able to defeat that feeling. Its too similiar to HZD, and I see it as the biggest issue.
    Story is really forgettable, obviously with forced lgbt elements. The ending is not spectacular at all, its just another mission to complete.
    This game is work of the team of mostly dutch people. If you can read between the lines, you can see how proud they are of their -isms and see included sense of superiority of their nation... I work with dutches in my daily work, and (geeee...) its really the same.
    After HZD I was hoping to see some spectacular retrospection of apocalyptic battles with humanity and those Horuses. Instead it always must be shallow and forgettable extraterrestial elements.
    This series is already in creative crisis.
    You can always pack the game with countless activities to make it feel better, but with FW Guerilla have pushed it beyond resonable limits, making it repetitive.
    The game is solid in terms of execution, presentation and gameplay, but lacks in some areas. It builds up the tension for most of the game, but ends up with just quiet slap instead of big bang. Just as if too much time was sacrificed making those side missions instead of main story. Publisher most probably pushed the release date too much.    … Expand

    Une excellente suite pour la série de Guerrilla games. J'ai passé un excellent moment de Gaming avec un univers et un scénario de qualité. Quelques belles surprises à la clé malgré les nombreux trailers. Une dualsense bien utilisée (ça fait plaisir, pour celles et ceux qui en sont sensibles). Honnêtement, ça serait cool de voir cette IP adaptée en série un jour.

    This game had potential to be much better… I’ve gone through most of the game just button mashing to be honest. Sure, some combos are effective, it’s fun to switch to the right element, but it’s all so similar. It’s just getting to be a bit boring and repetitive albeit a beautiful world.

Aloy’s personality is almost more robotic and two dimensional than the machines she’s constantly slaying to the point that I don’t really even want to hear what she has to say anymore in most dialogues. My job now is to gear up and push further into the FW. Food? Doesn’t matter. Dying? Doesn’t matter. Invisible walls? Oh yeah. Probably won’t be buying a third if they make it or will just wait til it’s on sale like I probably should have with this title.… Expand

    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.
