    Horizon Forbidden West is a true masterpiece of the gaming world.

For those who are passionate about the plot and carefully read/listen to every data point in the game, you will realize how much this sequel answers mysteries that were thrown out in the first game. It is not just what is shown in the game, but also what is spoken in texts distributed around the world in the format of a universe of its own.… Expand

    The game is really beautiful and for sure better than the first one. The new mechanics are well designed, the world is one of kind and the number and type of machines is insane.

The new mechanics are well designed, the world is one of kind and the number and type of machines is insane. The first game was something different and new and fresh and that is why people loved it and the second game has the best sequel recipe for a trilogy. It takes the story of the first one and gives that something more that you need and you want for the protagonist and of where this is going and I find it really great. There are some glitches that are minor in the overall game after the disasters of many triple A games in the previous years we are back at a normal number of old times and this is also good.

    Overall the game is great at some points and excellent in others and from all aspects it is one of the best games I ever played and it will stand no matter of some whining that some people have.

    If there is a game out there that you should buy , is the forbidden west    … Expand

    The story is very nice and the gameplay is almost perfect. Some small bugs but is normal for new game, it will take some small update to fix all of them. The visuals and sound and nearly perfect. Also the side quests have more "soul" compare to previous game. The first game was very good but this is better in all the ways. From all the Sony exclusive(since PS5 arrive) this is the best one

    What a disappointmen. Buggy, broken mess that has caused my PS5 to require factory resetting twice. When it does work it seems to be an OK game at best. Not as good as Dawn and much more cheesey writting and plot.

    This game is getting review bombed for no reason other than jealousy from other platform gamers. Go and look at the critic scores or the scores in different gaming channels. It's a amazing game to play and you'll definitely have a fun time. Give it a try.

    Without a doubt one of the best game graphics visual in console, the gameplay is great & fun, story is decent. Side quests aren't boring and characters animation are way better than HZD.

    A good game overall. The graphics are amazing, gameplay is good and the story is strong even though it's a bit short. I loved the world building in this game as much as the previous. Loading times for the ps5 are really fast and that's much appreciated.

    An absolutely fantastic game! It builds on Horizon Zero Dawn in ways I'm sure most fans of the first game would be pleased with, while not just rehashing the themes of the first game.

It builds on Horizon Zero Dawn in ways I'm sure most fans of the first game would be pleased with, while not just rehashing the themes of the first game. It gets rid of some of the more tedious elements of HZD such as inventory management, expands on armour and weapon upgrades and (at least in the Normal difficulty playthrough I did) makes swapping out your gear for different encounters an important game element.
    The characters look amazing and the dialogue in certain quests is like nothing I've ever seen in games before - funny, meaningful, genuine. The music also goes so hard in a way that I didn't expect.
    If you didn't like HZD, hate "women in games", hate representation in games, or somehow think a game that famously got taken off the Playstation Store for being essentially unplayable is "less buggy" than HFW, then you probably won't like this game.
    The reason I have given it a 9 and not a 10 (which I am tempted to give based on the gameplay and story) is the current state of the game. There are bugs, there is some pop-in and at least one quest that at the time of writing this does not work (but it was an optional side quest). I got stuck in the geometry once in a 60hr playthrough, and had one situation where frame rate dropped significantly (but I believe there's already been a patch for that). None of which was "game breaking" as the game is constantly autosaving, so you're likely to only lose a few minutes at most if you have to reload (which again, I only had to do once, when I got stuck in the geometry). I hesitate to even dock the point for that, because I'm certain these kinks will be worked out quickly.
    All in all I would DEFINITELY recommend this to anyone who likes a big open world game with lots to do and an excellent story.    … Expand

    This game is really an improvement in how next gen games should look and be. Everything from this game is phenomenal. Characters, story, the atmosphere, the improvement in combat and graphics is a big step from the first game to the sequel. Really happy with this game. Good job to all the Guerrilla team for bringing us another Playstation for the collection. My rating for this game is a 9.

    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.
