    Excelente jogo, evolui todos os aspectos do primeiro game, que por si só ja era um bom jogo. Historia, mundo, gameplay, tudo esta maior e melhor, sem cometer o pecado de outros games de mundo aberto, que repetem muito as mesmas atividades ate que se tornem enjoativas.

    It's honestly the most next gen game I've ever played so far. The game and world is extremely beautiful and full of so much to do and accomplish. Giving how big the world is I'm extremely surprised on how non existent loading screens are. I'm extremely satisfied of what Guerilla games have accomplished with this game. The game is so much fun with a great storyline to hook the player in.

    This game frustrates me in some ways. I gave the game a 9 because I think it really is a masterpiece of a game that’s held back by some old design philosophies.

I gave the game a 9 because I think it really is a masterpiece of a game that’s held back by some old design philosophies. Namely its questing interface and traversal. Guerrilla designed the game around using quest markers for each sub task, so it can be more frustrating than immersive to play without them, and confusing when you turn it on and a long-lost villager shows up as a specific marker on your HUD. The climbing also seems to have been made intentionally worse. The main character will often jump in the exact opposite direction you’re shouting at her to go. However, the story is phenomenal, the characters are more interesting this time around, and fighting robots dinosaurs is an ethereal experience thanks to the PS5’s turbo blast processing. This game could be a masterpiece if moving around the world was snappier, and there was less of a Skyrim-like mission structure of “follow the marker.” However, I don’t fault the developer for these issues. I’d assume that based on the quality of the other aspects of the game, they likely prioritized expanding the strengths of their last game (combat and story) and succeeded in fixing their biggest blunder (the facial animations in the new game are miles better than Zero Dawn). While it’s tempting to sit here and dream about what this game could’ve been, I’d really rather just fight a thunder jaw again! I found that Hard difficulty made combat more engaging than the easier modes but MUCH more bearable than Ultra Hard. I’d recommend playing on Hard at first and changing the difficulty it you find yourself having less fun. Get the game, just be aware it’s not going to cure cancer.… Expand

    It does take a while getting into movement and climbing (It's not free climb like other games) but that's the only down side I have. Incredible game, really blowing me away at the moment. Stunning graphics, great story, fighting incredible, machines awesome! With a few bugs fixed Id give it a 10, 9 for now.

    As a fan of the original, I am further in awe of the new game. A direct follow on from Zero Dawn but with everything made to look better, flow better and continue the deep, fascinating world that began in the first game. If you liked Zero Dawn, even slightly, you'll love this.

    Идеальная игра для любителей открытого мира. Все недостатки первой части устранены. Через пару патчей, когда пофиксят мелкие косяки к ней не к чему будет придраться.

Open world is absolutely empty! You can only play in performance mode. At the same time, the graphics in the game, according to my feelings, look even worse than the first part of Horizon. In the maximum quality mode, the graphics are improving, but the FPS drops very much and I was playing experiencing headaches and nausea. And this is an AAA project in 2022? This is undoubtedly a disgrace to the gaming industry! Dear developers, PR-services and game publishers, please stop giving out free press versions to Anton Logvinov. This person is completely meaningfully harming the entire gaming industry!… Expand

    Justo como decían; hay niebla y es evidente pero no invasiva, algunos bugs puntuales como cualquier otro juego sandbox, pero aún así es un juego hermoso. La jugabilidad ahora varios pasos adelante de la anterior entrega por lo cual desde ya puedo asegurar que es uno de los mejores del año.

    Дизайн персонажей и "бодипозитив" вызывает отвращение, унылый сюжет и механика игры, ничего интересного в ней не нашёл, проходняк, пока печатал, скинул ещё пару балов.

    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.
