    Після гнилого зеро доун це очевидний стрибок вперед. Візуал на висоті, нові механіки і скіли тепер реально мають якийсь сенс, а сюжет навіть хочеться пройти до кінця. Проте головний сюрприз це дуал сенс. Перша гра насправді на пс5, яка пречудово користується потенціалом дуал сенс. Особливо це помітно після God of War Ragnarok, чиї розробники про дуал сенс в принципі не чулиПісля гнилого зеро доун це очевидний стрибок вперед.

    I was determined to finish this game because I invested so much time to it so I did. Near the end it was dreadful to have to listen to the dialog and uninteresting characters go on and on it was very painful. The graphics and world is beautiful and I will give it a 10 out of 10 for the visuals but the game lacks a good story and characters.

The graphics and world is beautiful and I will give it a 10 out of 10 for the visuals but the game lacks a good story and characters. I was intrigued by the game in the early stages but it died out and i just wanted this to end simply because there is not a single character i liked. Alloy is an awkward personality and so is everyone else. Im happy to finish this story but I am over it. Its a really nice world and graphics but really poor character development and story telling. My story with Horizon ends here.… Expand

    I had a great experience with the game itself, but the DLC left me feeling terrible. I am not prejudiced against homosexuality, but I feel there was no reason for the main character to be a lesbian. It felt forced and unnatural.

The game is a fast track easy to make repeat of it previous game, only changing a few things, second the story is clearly for progressive tastes to the radical side than a good story telling, and graphics focus too much in the visual and justifying the stuck in development. I ask for a refund but It was not possible, if you are thinking in buy the game, well watch some youtube reviews, and maybe it is your taste but it is not mine. I have buy it only if it is at 90% discount maybe 85% If I were you otherwise does not worth it.… Expand

    It is one of the few games that could be said to have many elements of "next-gen graphics" of volumetric light/fog. Great open world and a really huge map with different biomes. Those who like open-world sand box types of games will really enjoy themselves here. There is really a lot on the map and it looks great on PS5 in balance mode. It's a shame that it was also released on PS4.It is one of the few games that could be said to have many elements of "next-gen graphics" of volumetric light/fog.

    Regarding the Performance.:
    As i can tell you the Performance mode is not working as should it be has a lot of bugs. Horrible aliasing at 60 fps. A New performance update it's necessary to be done to this game.

    I've honestly never been so disappointed in a Sony Game on day 1. This game has major issues.
    Sometimes the graphics looks cool, but the i got bored so fast and now with this issue of sexuality for the main character, this shows that the company wants to seal up the sexuality regarding this type of subject, which there is no need to do that. All the characters in this last version are uninteresting and poor written, it should have more details about it to get more deep.    … Expand

    I dont know why, but somehow this game isn't for me, just like his predecessor. (Just finished Zero Dawn)

    But the climbing and the overall movement through the world is buggy and not so enjoyable.

    The story is some kind of uninteressting, with a few nice twists, but the conversations in the base with my "friends" are somthing lame. I kind of dont connect with all of them and thats because Aloy also dont care. She has always the same face (i would say resting b*tch face syndrome) with the same facial expression. I wanted to love Horizon, both of them. I wanted Aloy to be my female Link, as a protagonist with an awesome Bow and fighting skills. But it fails to deliver these feelings to me. Overall a pretty game for me, but after i finish it, i will never touch it again. Maybe i will buy the third installment in a few years to finish the complete story of Horizon.

    I was surprised this pile of **** has gotten a sequel. Well it's worse than the original. Alloy is still her ow annoying self, except made uglier. A lot of other characters (NPCs) were made uglier as well, in a postmodernist attempt to make everything ugly.

    Gameplay, has pretty much the same flaws I mentioned in my Horizon Zero Dawn review, you can check those out.

    Forbidden Shores fits nicely with the main game with a fun, sort of self-contained story that points the way for the story to move forward even larger on the third installment while also gracing us with a fun antagonist and some long overdue affection coming Aloy's way. All in all the only criticism I have is that it was over too soon.

    The game becomes too boring. Side quests too repetitive. After a while the game feels like dragging. Overall it has too much copy past missions.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jogo incrível, o salto de qualidade em relação ao primeiro é absurdo. Novas mecânicas e customizações da personagem criam novas e mais eficientes formas de enfrentar os inimigos do jogo. As batalhas corpo a corpo, ganharam mais qualidade. Falando da qualidade gráfica, o jogo está simplesmente lindo e imersivo. Atividades secundárias são interessantes e prendem a atenção do jogador, além de proporcionar desafios interessantes, como a Arena, onde batalhas cronometradas com todos os tipos de máquina geram recompensas. O segundo jogo como o primeiro, continua com uma narrativa interessante e com várias reviravoltas surpreendentes.… Expand

    Ein Meisterwerk wie schon der erste Teil.
    Die Geschichte kommt zwar nicht ganz an den ersten ran aber trotzdem 10 von 10.
    Der DLC Burning Shores war auch sehr gut.
    Freu mich schon auf den dritten Teil.

    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.
