    Amazing world. So much effort put into crafting this GORGEOUS experience.certainly the best looking open world out there by a long shot. The story is also good (who the hell is saying it isn’t) and queued up for a trilogy finishing sequel. HFW runs smooth and never feels like I need to grind to advance. I especially love how melee has been vastly improved. 10/10

    Super jeu ! Malgré les critiques de certains fanboy, le jeu offre beaucoup d'opportunités.

    Entre les nouveautés comme le planeur, l'exploration des fonds marins sans avoir à remonter à la surface, ou pouvoir voler avec l'hélion, c'est juste incroyable !

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My game of the Year or at least a great contendent. Storyline is not impressive but overall the graphics plus the the fun makes it a 9/10. Got the Playinum trophy in 10 days with around 50 hours of playtime. Good job Guerilla and I'm waiting for your next game.… Expand

    If you liked the first game you’ll love this. The side quests don’t feel like chores, collectibles enrich the lore and aren’t just a grab and go, and there are fun puzzles that actually feel challenging. Add to that a beautiful world and a compelling story and you have a truly amazing gaming experience worth your time. In my opinion its a 10.

    Not only is this game technically impressive but it also hits home in every other way, story is fun and intriguing, combat is thoughtful and expansive, side activities are fun and very well crafted. It does what HZD did and improves upon every single aspect. I’ve spent hours upon hours just exploring, don’t want to leave this world. A Must Play!

    Plus! Haven't wanted to rage quit because my game keeps on glitching or it suddenly stops working and I have to restart. It's almost shocking to play a game that just came out and actually be able to play it. It's definitely worth playing.    … Expand

    I have loved zero dawn as well, and I was worrying that the Forbidden West can't keep it fresh or be as original as Zero Dawn. I was wrong.

    Great game! I loved the first game, and if you did, this will be no disappointment!

    What fascinated me in the first game was the incredible story combined with fresh and deep gameplay. I expected the story of forbidden west will fall short, because I didn't think Guerrilla Games could come up with such innovative ideas again. But in that way Forbidden west surprised me: It has also a    Great game! I loved the first game, and if you did, this will be no disappointment!

    I expected the story of forbidden west will fall short, because I didn't think Guerrilla Games could come up with such innovative ideas again. But in that way Forbidden west surprised me: It has also a great, sometimes very emotional storyline with great characters and expands the story of the first part very well. Guerrilla Games is the new Bioware to me! I also play Mass Effect Legendary Edition just now and in direct comparison I find the storyline is on the same level!

    So if you like good innovative stories and Action RPG gameplay that is not just plain gunfight but has a certain tactial touch - play Horizon! And if you didn't play the first part - start with that!    … Expand

    Such a blast! As a casual gamer that plays 1-2 games a year, I really enjoyed my 80h+ with Horizon FW. Every frame of the game is stunning, the mechanics are super fun and the story is engaging enough to make you explore it’s huuuugely detailed map!

    Sigue manteniendo una historia super interesante, y coherente con su antecesor, tiene nuevas dinamicas de juego, las nuevas maquinas y sus movimientos estan super bien diseñados y presentan un nuevo reto, la complejidad de cada rincon en el juego es miy alta, todos los personajes inclusive los npcs estan completamente bien diseñados y sus movimientos son muy naturales

    I originally went in skeptical to Horizon Zero Dawn, and I was blown away, it quickly became my favorite open world RPG. So the sequel, Forbidden West had a lot to live up to. And oh boy did it, it took everything I loved about the original and cranked it up to 10. As of this review, I have 30+ hours into it, snd I’m only at 32% complete.10/10. Highly recommend

    Jogo incrível, tem alguns pequenos defeitos, mas por conta dos cryxistas chorões vou deixar nota 10, porém seria nota 9. Deixo o meus parabéns a Guerrilla Games por essa obra prima. Consegui platinar ontem.

    I know it already has a high rating, but honestly it deserves even higher. The scope of the story and world of Horizon is expanded MASSIVELY in this sequel and the mechanics that we love from Horizon Zero Dawn and only refined and not changed or replaced.

    I don’t usually rate games, I just play them, lots of them! But I felt the negative reviews are misleading in here. The game rocks; gameplay, story so far, graphics, performance, minimal bugs, I have seen one error in 20 hours gameplay so far on PS5, mechanics, characters development, majestic open world and new machines. Missing one point to make it 10 due to somehow repetitive look andI don’t usually rate games, I just play them, lots of them! But I felt the negative reviews are misleading in here.

Nevertheless this is another masterpiece from Guerrilla. More games like this!… 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.
