    This is the typical next-gen game, so pretty looking, and good support on ps5 controller, and also Aloy is charming for me

    I am 10 hours into the game and I can already say that Horizon: Forbidden West is a masterful improvement of its predecessor Horizon: Zero Dawn. The lightning, particles, the world building, and the impressive graphics shows how powerful Guerrilla’s game engine (Decima) is. The story is also a lot better than the previous game.

    Best looking game to date no doubt.
    Really good story too when it kicks off after 4-5 main missions.

    Absolutely beautiful game with a good story yes some side quests are abit repetitive but as someone who only has a Playstation for the exclusives and mainly play's on Xbox and Pc I've gotta say games like this are what Microsoft studios should be looking at to make great Exclusives of their own.

    The graphics and detail are just incredible. However, because of all this colorful vegetation everywhere, my eyes is rippling. I'll have to get used to it. 60 FPS on the TV is so smooth that it feels like 144 on the monitor. In quality mode, the game looks even better, but the differences are not particularly large, and it hurts to look at 30 FPS after 60.

Side quests have become more interesting. In one of the first quest, they asked me to find a frying pan, haha. Aloy is cute and she has normal cheeks. I liked it when Avad complimented her and she was embarrassed. It seems that the developers are not going to make her a lesbian for the sake of fashion trends, and this pleases.… Expand

    Horizon Forbidden West is the perfect sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn. The way they capture you with the story and graphics is pure enjoyment. Even side quest and errands and jobs feel like it’s all part of the main story. The graphics are just beautiful. The best graphics I’ve seen on next gen so far.

The best graphics I’ve seen on next gen so far. The machines seem a bit harder than the first game which I love. The devs definitely upgraded like they were suppose to. Yes there are some hick ups with bugs but it’s relevant with a game that just came out and I know the devs will fix it. Aloy’s is the definition of what PlayStation can and will do with games. This is a 10/10 for me. I definitely recommend this game for everyone.… Expand

    La historia no es la mejor. Los gráficos sí que son algo alucinante, de lo mejor de esta generación, pero el hecho de que la neblina sea TAN EXCESIVA llega a ser molesto, a veces no sabes ni por donde caminas. Se nota que el juego salió antes de estar completamente pulido y eso es una lástima, tenía potencial de goty pero por las prisas se queda muy mal parado.

    I've rarely seen such a good sequel. Everything has been improved here that has already distinguished the 1st part. I really liked the story and there is no need to waste any more words on this graphic, especially on the Playstation 5. An incredibly good game.

    Excellent graphics, large open world that changes after your actions, adrenaline combat system. This game deserves at least 8.5 points. I put 10 points in order to level the score. Why are the haters so jealous of the people who enjoy this game and lower game rating on purpose? Just buy a console and a game and play for yourself.

SENSACIONAL, 10/10.… Expand

    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.
