    Awesome game, the best so far this year and a strong candidate for GOTY. Super recommended if you have a Playstation.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Horizon Forbidden West is the perfect sequel. Improved everything from the last game, the graphics, the cinematics, the face models, the combat, all. The story is very fascinating and very attractive, the map is slightly bigger than the last one and much fun to explore. The activities are very fun , the machine strike is a board game which is very fun to play with the NPC’s in different locations, the Arena is very fun as well, flying mounts are just amazing, you can see the hole map from above and it’s a fast way to get from a location to other. The story is much better than the last game’s, I finished the game in less than 15 hours and I absolutely loved to play this game. The endinng is also better than the last one . You meet more interesting characters with their own story. I recommend this game , 10/10… Expand

    Tiene la escencia del primer juego pero logra ser mejor en cada aspecto del mismo, me parece sin duda una joya por parte del gerrilla y sin duda, la segunda parte que se merecía está IP. De mis juegos favoritos que han salido en lo últimos años Espero tenga la oportunidad de ser el juego del año

    The game is definitely better then the first one. Awesome graphics. The story is nice and the graphics are beautyful. Maybe a few updates here and there. But hey, every game needs that at the beginning...

    This game is BREATHTAKING! It's better than HZD. The graphical visuals are top tier, second to none. The gameplay is so fluid and smooth, combat against the AI is much fun, AI is much smarter than in HZD. The story is exciting and amazing. I can't get enough of this game. It's a masterpiece and a must play!

    Very cool game! Sometimes there is a moment when Alloy gets stuck in textures when parkour, but this is minor. Played 20 hours and completed 19% of the game. Combat has become much more interesting, especially with people. Top graphics. 10/10 game

    Even though the story could have had a few minor tweaks to truly make it perfect, I objectively believe that Horizon Forbidden West is better than Zero Dawn in every way imaginable, and the price tag is absolutely worth it, especially considering what other garbage gets dished out nowadays with that same price

    A great audiovisual and playable experience! Superior to Zero Dawn in all sections. Guerrilla has shown that it is in the first level along with Naughty Dog and Santa Monica.

    I do not understand people who give negative comments and I even doubt that these people can read the name of this game correctly.

    What is all this hatred for?

    Imagine finishing a 30 hour game in 3 days and having the balls the call it the worst game ever. Sweaty video game culture is a 0 out if 10, not this game. Get a life, losers.

    This is a gamedesign masterpiece. I never played souch a well thought, perfectly balanced game. Also the open world has content: the map is literally full with quests, ruins to explore, bandit camps to clear, or other things to do.

    Horizon is a technical marvel (for the most part) with one of the most boring narratives since, well, the first game. It's like getting a really attractive partner whose good in bed, but has no personality. I wanted to love this game but I can't with how dull all the characters are, especially Aloy whose constantly rolling her eyes at everyone like she just wants the conversation to end.Horizon is a technical marvel (for the most part) with one of the most boring narratives since, well, the first game.

    Better than the first in every aspect. It doesn't even make sense to list. Level evolution of all successful sequels. And if the first part for me was 9 points, this one is 10.

    Боже, как люди это жрут... Кроме потрясающей графики и саунддизайна, все осталось так же плохо как и в первой части.. Кошмарный гемплей, ужасные сюжет и сайды квесты, куча багов, которые просто недопустимы!!! Просто тошнотная игра, крайне не рекомендую, если только вы не любитель серии асасинскридаБоже, как люди это жрут...

    pure and utter trash. the writing is so cringey, the characters are laughable. yeah the visuals are nice but that's not enough to earn my 60 bucks. also, aloy is annoying and ugly, why didn't they bother to make her more beautfiul and attractive, not some karen soccer mom

    Looks great, plays great, good cast and a witty, engaging script with lots of subtle narrative.

Combat is fast and flowing action, as before, with some new moves and weapons. One or two glitches on release but nothing game-breaking, and fewer than most big titles. This is very much a sequel, the storyline carries straight on, many familiar characters make a reappearance, and expect many game systems and mechanics to be familiar from the first game.

    Ignore the review bombing bigots, they just hate that the major characters aren’t white men.    … Expand

The only downside to this game is that there are some parts in the game that can get confusing and you might find yourself stuck for a bit but if you like a game that takes time and enjoy getting lost into a world you’d probably love it as it’s not so bad considering the beautiful graphics and interesting locations.… Expand

    The game looks nice but it does not really feel new. Its also VERY shallow, no depth at all. For a 2022 game, that is kinda not okay. Unless being a total fanboy, i would only get this when on sale.

    Esta sin terminar, bugs por todas partes. La animación es son copia y pega de la primera parte. Y no hablemos de la niebla, que estropea la experiencia de juego.

    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.
