Premium gaming its what Playstation is all about, and xbox kids know it. Bargain mediocre game making has always been the identity of Microsoft, and their disgusting radical fanbase its whats keeping it going. Good job Guerrilla, good job Playstation, once again, the greatest place to play. Expand

    Si te gustan los mundo abierto donde te tengas que perder y hacer misiones de ir de punto A a punto B. Excelente. Es un 10 para ti. Pero si buscas algo inovador o algún cambio sustancial a cualquier otro juego mundo abierto lamentablemente este juego es bastante genérico y todo lo que aparece aquí ya se ha visto. Gráficamente es un 10

    A perfect sequence for Zero Dawn. Everything that was great they kept and everything that was kinda complicated or gimmick they improved a lot and now is great too!

    Amazing so far, nearly everything has been expanded and upgraded. I'm especially impressed with the sidequests and facial animations. Don't let all the crying xbox and Nintendo non exclusive whingers fool you, this is a game for the history books.

    I just read a comment saying someone would rather play ac valhalla. You have to be brain dead to have that opinion. As a pc and xbox gamer I havent played but have watched the game be played through. It looks pretty damn decent. Though the story isnt up to the same quality as the first game. Which I beat earlier this year. Still solid and beautiful game. Doesnt deserve the hate. And itI just read a comment saying someone would rather play ac valhalla.

    Horizon forbidden west is in every aspect better than zero dawn, which was already a fantastic game. Combat, traversal, story, graphics, environment just everything.

    The game is incredible and a direct sequence to the first one that really makes sense. Even though it still needs some polishing, the final result is a masterpiece and a very fun to play game.

    Light years ahead of anything on xbox. Sony keep putting out absolute bangers. Xbox will never have a game as good as this.

    Superb game. Zero dawn was masterpiece, forbidden west even better. Everything is polished to next gen standards. Best visuals and details in open world games, even RDR2 beaten easily. Gameplay improved, dynamic improved, tactic improved. Suggest to any who did like zero dawn. Some people compare game to valhalla, so i must say i invested in AC valh 120h and only once i force myself stopSuperb game. Zero dawn was masterpiece, forbidden west even better.

Suggest to any who did like zero dawn. Some people compare game to valhalla, so i must say i invested in AC valh 120h and only once i force myself stop and look at world. In forbidden west i constantly stop and enjoy detailed world. Gameplay force you to use all weapons, play tactically. Not like valhalka R1,R2 and sonetimes parry. Best open world fame for today!

    Pierwsza część gry Horizon była dla mnie dobra fabuła wciągająca świat ładnie wykreowany jak i postacie więc do Forbidden West podchodziłem z nadzieją na udana kontynuację po 20 godz. gry i powiem ze gra jest jak dla mnie lepsza pod każdym względem a graficznie na PS5 pokazuje to co najlepsze. Polecam każdemu

    I will change my opinion after they polish the game. Let me point out what you will receive for 70 euro:
    1)Dull platforming. Literally Ubisoft games on another level in comparison to this **** Lara Croft from 2010 did it better. 2)Soap on 60 fps. It’s unplayable. You literally want to vomit after 30 minutes from motion sickness. 3)The game felt like dlc. Dead world, Alloy’s speaking is

After they fix 60 fps I will return into game. See you in one year.

    The perfect sequel. The developers have improved everything they can. Graphics, combat system, game world, storytelling. This game is not to be missed.

    Outstanding gaming and storytelling experience. Though the game repeats certain mechanics after the first part, all they are ultimately finetuned. Defenitey 10

    It’s an amazing gaming. The graphics are gorgeously.
    In comparison with the previous game there are a lot of improvements such as the fight system or the new climbing system.

    Uno de los mejores juegos actuales, jugabilidad muy mejorada respecto a su entrega anterior, gráficos que te hacen volar la cabeza, los escenarios tienen tanto detalle que no puedes evitar sacar fotos constantemente, las mejoras en calidad de vida, hacen de este juego un imprescindible y espejo donde mirarse de los siguientes mundos abierto.

    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.
