    Ive been playing this game sense the first minutes of launch and it's so dam good! The story is gripping and is a perfect fit from the the original. The graphics are stunning, I've been playing in resolution mode and I gotta say it's the best game I've ever seen visually.

Only 1 glitch so far and that was Aloy getting stuck on inside a tree.. may have been my fault tho sense I jumped on top of it and got stuck in the branches and she kept just falling lol… Expand

    Pretty solid, mostly great for me. I am not good at describing it, I just like it. 11 hours in.

    Wish I could get my money back, the game looks AMAZING, but that's it, I got bored after two hours

    Very thrilling experience with a diverse open world ranging from forests to deserts, not only is there more choice in weaponry but a wider range in outfits and melee combat.

    Game just improved on the first one in almost everyway. Graphics are crisp, gameplay is solid and the story is most of the time decent. Oh and the soundtrack is unreal!

    Horizon forbiden west é um jogo que com coisas simples te encanta, te proporcionando durante a narrativa principal( joguei umas 23h,n zerei) sensações marcantes. O sistema de evolução é complexo inicialmente mas é questão de costume. O melhor do jogo são os combates contra as máquinas.Nota 10/10

    This game is incredible, i haven't stopped playing it since launch. I spent about 6 hours alone in the introduction area, I always got distracted with things to do. All the side quests are worthwhile and the activities are all fun. You can solve a tomb raider style ruin puzzle, or fight tough enemies and train in a melee fighting pit.

I spent about 6 hours alone in the introduction area, I always got distracted with things to do. All the side quests are worthwhile and the activities are all fun. You can solve a tomb raider style ruin puzzle, or fight tough enemies and train in a melee fighting pit. They also turn an overused trope in the open world genre into a fun side activity, you have to solve parcour puzzles to climb tallnecks which reveals the map for you. The story, while not being incredible like other sony games, is always ingaging and will keep you excited for what's gonna come next. The world is incredibly beautiful and very dense, I could spend hours exploring it alone. This is the best looking game i have ever played!
    My favorite part though is the combat. The combat is so complex, yet easy to get a hold of. There are tons of different weapons with different elemental effects and quirks. The machine design is phenomenal. Every maching has a few different ways of effectively taking it out, weakspots, and even some machines have weapons you can shoot off to use yourself. There are a vast variety of traps you can take your enemies out with. The melee combat is incredible too, there are many combos and abilities to master.    … Expand

    Every mechanic from the first game is refined. Exploration is so great, the movement easy and fluid. It’s legitimately some of the best platforming and running I’ve experienced in a game. Aloy is amazing, her personality and look flushed out. Legitimately loving this game (about 10hr in)

    El juego es muy bueno, mejoró bastante respecto a la generación anterior, tiene mejores mecánicas, unos gráficos soberbios, y una historia bastante respetable
    Sin duda un contendiente al GOTY

    Lol rating this game a 0 immediately kills your credibility, like really nothing about the game warranted a single point even? Since when is does a few bugs warrant a 10 point deduction?

I dont understand console "wars," the world is divided enough, do we really need to be fighting about consoles? I like PS and XBOX, I have always had both, who cares what console you prefer it's just not that important in the whole scheme of things. Just shows how spoiled people are, when I was a kid Super Mario Bros was the pinnacle of gaming, even the worst games of today would have blown away people then. Stop being so childish.… Expand

    Sin innovar en nada, el juego es continuista, el primero me parecio un poco mejor, pero es mas de lo mismo,ademas de los errores actuales que tiene el juego.

    Horizon Forbidden West creo que será recordado como el juego que consiguió subir un escalón más en el avance técnico de un videojuego. En lo visual, el juego es excelente: paleta de colores, reflejos (no tiene rtx, son manuales), texturas, ambientación, variedad de biomas, caras de los personajes (TODOS, principales y secundarios son grabados por actores), etc.

    Quizás el hecho de que sea tan potente visualmente desmerezca un poco todo lo demás: historia, peleas y plataformeo, sobretodo, que no es que esté mal, de hecho está bien, pero sin duda no a la altura de lo comentado anteriormente.
    Lo que si que destacaría para mal sería el sistema de loot y personalización de Aloy, que creo que no está bien llevado porqué se siente caótico, así como los árboles de habilidades. Me gustaría quizás más complejidad y concreción, ya que la verosimilitud muere en el momento en el que te puedes equipar tantas armas y al final sí, tienes muchos recursos y armas, pero me saca un poco del juego.

    Como conclusión, creo que sin duda es de los lanzamientos más importantes del año para PS y cumple con creces, pero tampoco es una obra maestra y no pasará a la historia por nada más allá de lo visual. Un juego muy notable, de ahí el 8.    … Expand

    Best game in 2022 so far, great graphics, haptics, and smooth framerate, looks awesome even in my 70' QLED TV in performance mode.

    Thanks sony for bringing great single player experiences.

    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.
