    Great game, it's rare that a sequel is able to be on par or even surpass the first game in some instances. Some bugs, however I am certain they will be fixed in the upcoming days and weeks.

    Remarkable experience, combat system has evolved drastically, underwater is simply amazing, graphics are definitely top notch, one of the best games of Guerrilla for sure, this is their second open world game, therefore there are a lot of to improve, but I believe that their third Horizon game will be a 10 must play

    Puede mejorar algunos aspectos gráficos. Como explosiones o partículas. Y de iluminación y sonido.

    C'est juste parfait, j'ai passer plus de 12h de jeux à ne faire que des missions secondaire et des point d'intérêt et il m'en reste encore à faire je n'ai pas explorer tout l'ouest de la map ! Les graphismes sont géniaux, le scénario est incroyable et les personnages (principaux ou secondaire comme boomer par exemple) sont superbement écris et drôle !

    Mejora bastante con respecto al 1 juego, la jugabilidad es mejor al momento de explorar el mundo, visualmente se ve increíble, gran historia y un mundo abierto interesante con bastante contenido en misiones extra

    Dialogue,dialogue,dialogue.... can you please take note from a great game like dark souls. Less is more!
    Gameplay and upgrade tree is cool and fun, but ruined by boring story and way too much dialogue that I get bored spamming x through.

    Еще одна когда-то хорошая игра убитая сжв активистами. Все девушки накаченные воительницы, что решают проблемы. все мужики либо толстые ленивые колобки, что ничего не делают, либо отпетые мрази.

    20 Hours in, if you enjoyed Zero Dawn. You will Enjoy Forbidden West. Story is compelling, graphics are amazing. Performance mode works better for my set up. And the skills and leveling system are all an upgrade from from its predecessor. One of the few games where the sandbox checklist never gets dull, love getting lost in Horizons world!

    IMHO I believe that this is a great game... I gave is a 9 because of this. It has is flaws(every game does, especially after it had just released).. However, Horizon: Forbidden West is no Culyberpunk 2077 nor is it like Anthem in terms of quality after launch.

    I believe a huge part of why this game is getting review bombed is because gamers have evolved from actually loving games to gamers now being 50/50 where 50% see the game as an amazing game and understand that no game is perfect at launch and the other 50% acting like spoiled adults who expect nothing less than flawless.

    With this in mind, ONLY YOU can be the judge of the quality of the game.

    I recommend giving this game a try. But that will be ultimately be up to you.    … Expand

    This is another Game which has everything:

    -Graphics 10/10 (best possible on PS5 right now)
    -Gameplay 10/10
    -Story 9/10 (Horizon 1 Story was more exciting, but its still very good)

    Only Clowns vote this game below 7-8/10.

    Impecável, Sony e Guerrilha não desiludem. Até agora melhor jogo. Bugs normais de mundo aberto irrelevantes ou quase nulos, impecável de gráficos suberbo de jogabilidade, roteiro e história já estamos abituados

    Just a fantastic open world game. Reminds me of Breath of the wild and Horizon Zero Dawn. Absolutely beautiful world.
    Strong storytelling On point controls Superb game mechanics And The Witcher 3esque side quests. Near perfect. Love it ❤️

    Amazingly detailed and beautiful game with a strong female protagonist and great storyline. Game play on PS4 has been seamless. I'm constantly blown away by the attention to detail and how life like the mannerisms and facial expressions of all the NPCs are. Highly recommend this game!

    I think this is one of the mostly beautiful games I have ever played. The characters feel real (a huge improvement from Zero Dawn). It looks like they really did something with the critics from Zero Dawn. The visuals are so amazing I often find myself just enjoying the view. The story (so far) is amazing too. And the open world is like no other. There is so much to do. That 10 hours in theI think this is one of the mostly beautiful games I have ever played.

That 10 hours in the game I haven't even made it to 'The F West'.

    I really don't understand the negative critics. Ik see people write about 'woke' and all other things. Firs of all the fact that the lead character is a woman is a welcome change. If you you masculinity can't handle this, that's on you. Furthermore you might come across a LGBT person. Wow big shock, just like in real life. There's nothing being pushed here (and what if there was?). If these are reasons for you not to buy the best game out here, that on your fragile masculinity. In that case you are not worth the best game of the year.

    If you love amazing graphics, action and suspense, a huge open world full of meaningful (side-) quest (not your typical (boring) fetch-quest) you should 100% buy this game!    … Expand

    зачем добовлять союзников если они бесполезны и скучные и говорят сходи туда и убей того монстра, плюс на рабочий стол иногда иногда можно зделать скрины для пк . движок ужасен .

    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.
