    Aloy never ceases to amaze me. When I was hoping more of the same game back in 2016, I was caught by surprise by this masterpiece. Sorry guys, we all know where we gonna be spending our weekend, into the forbidden west!

    This game is just amazing, beautiful, and epic!
    For now, it is the game of the years 2022 for me.

    Extremely disappointed by the story. Aloy's character also doesn't resonate with me she didn't in the first game and this one just makes me like her even less. The open world is not as open as other games and the traversal/climbing mechanics is almost exactly the same as the first.

    Picking up straight after Zero Dawn, the game feels familiar and all cool the moves you learned the first time are already here as carry throughs. It feel like a proper continuation and the graphics in 4K on a PS5 are beautiful and detailed, even down to the conversations and the skin tone and movement of people talking. The game is blowing me away and feels natural getting back into it.Picking up straight after Zero Dawn, the game feels familiar and all cool the moves you learned the first time are already here as carry throughs.

Definite must buy with more to discover on the road to the forbidden west. Expand

    Should not have wasted money on it, this was such an overwhelmingly boring game

    Como nos has vuelto engañar. Es igual de aburrido que el uno pero encima se controla peor. Todo los movimientos son como acelerados y las físicas un auténtico desastre. Los gráficos mucho brillo y mucha resolución pero lo de la niebla es intentar tomar el pelo a la gente.

    Como podem dar zero pra esse jogo? Gráfico, História, Jogabilidade e ambientação incríveis!! Infelizmente, o sistema de avaliação do metacritic já está ultrapassad, centenas de avaliações sem sentido algum apenas por "Console War". Chega, crianças!

    Please do not listen to these people that are giving the game a 0 or a 1. Even if you felt the game was flawed, it doesn’t deserve anywhere near a 0. Excellent game, another gem from Sony. I wish Microsoft Fanboys would instead use their energy to bash Xbox and ask where the games are. Lmao. So glad I didn’t waste my money on that garbage black tower paper weight lol.

    Jogo maravilhoso, existem alguns momentos em que ele se torna um pouco repetitivo (assim como no primeiro), más sua história e narrativa aliados a boa jogatina muito prazerosa e gráficos lindíssimos e coloridos fazem dele um jogasso acima da média.

    I'm not a fan of the first Horizon game. I played and it was kinda boring for me, but the graphics and robots were amazing though.

    But this new part is amazing. I'm enjoying it and it's an enormous amount of improvements were made. It's interesting to discover this world and gameplay is much more dynamic this time.

    Thank you, Guerrilla and Sony teams.

    It really is pathetic to see so many bitter Xbox fan boys review bomb a game they haven't even played. Anything below a 7 is hate. I've only played about 15 hours and have loved every minute,there are some bumps but nothing major,this games amazing and I can't wait to play more of it.and I cannot wait to

    Horizon Forbidden Wst is a great sequel to the grand Horizon Zero Dawn, but in need of a big Patch.

    Sound or Subtitles that do not properly load, enemies or other assets, like bridges etc. do spawn in to late and the ocasional crash, but must frustrating is the framedrops to the single digits even in the "more FPS" mode. Non of them make it unplayable but not as much enjoyable as it

    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.
