    Playing on a PS4 and clocked 20 hours into the game. I've read some of the negative reviews and 99% is absolutely unfounded in my opinion. Really can't get my head around why these bad reviews are posted. Perhaps afraid of a strong female character?

    The graphics and movement of the characters, environment and effects are (even on PS4) breathtaking. The water quality, bubbles underwater,    Playing on a PS4 and clocked 20 hours into the game.

    The graphics and movement of the characters, environment and effects are (even on PS4) breathtaking. The water quality, bubbles underwater, footprints in snow, wind effects, mountains, grass and so on just explode on my (4K QLED) TV. Can't wait to see it actually on a PS5.

    The story so far is compelling and divers, even more if you focus on side missions and tasks. Yes, there is some rinse & repeat in some missions "go there & get this", but the story surrounding it is different and divers. The main story is in my opinion believable and new.

    Regarding bugs, last minute appearing trees and other flaws, I must say that I have found none. Must say I normally am also not bothered by it in games, because it has also to do with the performance of your own hardware.

    The only thing that bothers me slightly are conversations containing "modern" words like "body bags", which I find hard to believe that is it something their world would be familiar with.

    Anyway, I foresee some long and fun playing with this game and certainly would recommend this game.    … Expand

    Pro : graphics, AD, quests, main story, better than zero dawn, new machines, lifetime

    Cons : If you dont like SF it's gonna be hard, some technical issues, not enough freedom (vs Zelda or GOT)

    I wasn't even really interested in Elden Ring, but after seeing how awful Horizon is, i think i should support Elden Ring, because at least they have interesting world to explore. Can't say that about Horizon....

    Game is amazing. In most aspects from the first game forbidden west has some how out done itself. Ya theres a few bugs but what new game doesnt have that.

    It's so pathetic to watch how people are freaking out like "oh no, game with woman lead gets bad reviews, must panic", people making Youtube videos, writing articles.....

    I was a bit skeptical when I saw that they had completely revamped the combat and now had a escort mission vibe but after seeing the critic reviews I got this game finished it in 20+ hrs and I loved every minute of it.

    Not sure why people are so pissy about everything nowadays. It's like we forgot to be a community and now we are just bullying each other for having different opinions.

    Saying Elden Ring is better when it's not even released and comparing HZFW to it just makes my blood boil. Not sure where this fanatism comes from but it's annoying...

    Also if you can't get decent graphics out of your machine it's not the developers fault... If you run a next gen game on a PS4 don't expect much, although this game still runs very well on older machines.

    If people give 0 to this game then Cyberpunk should have had -10? Just wondering. So please stop with the review bombing.

    HZFW is a graphical masterpiece...the amount of detail in every part of the game is astounding. Ray tracing, the marks in the sand you make and the difference in lighting when the sun reflects of the wet sand, sweat drops when it's hot, frozen armour when it's cold, grass moving around your feet when you move...just a glimpse of the vast detail and love that has gone into this game. Not to mention the insane quality of the textures and assets + insane loading speeds.

    Story is indeed long but it's a journey...if you don't have the patience just move on to something else. I enjoy the character development and the relationships and also by doing side quests you can influence the dialogue in the main story line which is cool.

    Combat as well is very good, a bit harder than the first iteration which is a good thing but there are a lot of quality of life improvements that just make sense.

    Combined with the adaptive triggers and sound design, this is by far one of the most visually stunning, complete and well built games of our time. Only game that could beat it is God of War.

    I rest my case and to all you trolls....just stop with the review bombing...We are a community and we should leave politics and anger aside and be more kind to each other.    … Expand

    The world of forbidden West is breathtaking In it's graphics, it's attention to details and it's density and excellent side quest missions. The gameplay is top notch with added improvements from the first game. The story is very good and continues the lore from the first game.

    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.
