    HFW is amazing the attention to detail is what does it for me. I been exploring the hell out of this game. The combat is fluid and machines are brutal. I love Aloy and I love this game.

    This may feel the most tired sequel I've played in modern gaming. If you want more of the same of the first Horizon then you'll be happy but anyone looking for a substantial upgrade over the previous title in story telling and gameplay loop you'll be disappointed. The writing is standard, the story is tired, the characters look stupid and lack any personality including Aloy and theThis may feel the most tired sequel I've played in modern gaming.

The writing is standard, the story is tired, the characters look stupid and lack any personality including Aloy and the graphics look very nice when viewing in 4K30fps but on Performance mode 1800p60fps you get a MASSIVE drop in picture quality to get the all important 60fps. Don't know how you can make 1800p look 1080p but they have. Again, not a bad game, just more of the same. Expand

    Отличный проект, во всяком случае после прохождения на Series X - Dying Light 2 в 1080Р эта игра на поколение выше выглядит, да и играется)
    10-ку за однопользовательскую игру, которых без доната осталось не так много в наше время с таким бюджетом.
    Наиграл пока 4 часа, благо жизнь личная имеется в отличии от вечно воюющих чувачков с рунета. Пройду полностью до апреля уверен, Сони

    Отличное продолжение первой части игры. Лицевую анимацию значительно улучшили, сайд-квэсты сделали интересными, сюжет игры интригует с самого начала. Боевая система стала более вариативной. Игра полностью на русском языке, а это очень хорошо. Наиграл 15 часов. Из минусов на релизе мелкие технические баги. А так, прекрасная игра.Отличное продолжение первой части игры.

    Amazing game, I love the new additions that keep everything fresh but it still has the same feel as the first game. Aloy is a great protagonist, I hope to see more from her and the franchise in the future.

    Easily one of the worst games of 2022. This should not be standard for AAA games in 2022, better and more detailed games came out in 2018. Horizon Forbidden West is 4 years behind in terms of game evolution. Sad to see something like that.

    Once again this developer has made a great game. How can people not love a great game like this. Great story, gameplay and graphics. It’s a fairly long game.

    What a shame that this boring game got a sequel instead of actually fun and interesting Days Gone. HFW is extremely boring game. Dialogue is so empty and meaningless, open world has nothing fun in it. Waste of time and money from both gamers and developers. This game will be forgotten in a month.

    impresionante el gran salto que ha dado respecto a Zero Dawn, gráficamente es lo mas bruto que he visto nunca y no puede ser mas adictivo, guerrilla games con este juego con consolida como una de las grandes desarrolladoras que marcan tendencia

    The 0s and 1s are embarrassing, shame people can't understand basic numbers. Only played this for 10 hrs put it's an absolute wow, so much fun but I think any person with half a brain will see that straight off.

    The game completely copies the first part, no new improvements except for the grappling hook. The graphics are soapy, in performance mode everything is very blurry. The plot is boring and the characters are the same. It should also be noted that the game does not work, it is simply bugged, worse than cyberpunk.

    Un Gran juego, no es perfecto, tiene varios Bugs que tienen que areglarse, pero por todo lo demas bien. El detalle de casi todo es de 120 en las texturas y varias cosas, un gran trabajo y de mucho cuidado. El pelo lo Odio, parece demasiado vivo y suelto. no tendria que moverse tanto con tan poco movimento, no es nada natural.

    Not a perfect a game, has some issues of course, but giving it a 10 just because a lot of people are review bombing it because of very stupid reasons (like Aloy has a beard oh no, gives the game a 1 or 0).
    The story is amazing, the game is beautiful, combat is much imprpved from the first game a lot of new machines, Regalla is an amazing villain. Side quest have very good stories.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The new addition to the story ties in and picks back up perfectly from the last game, and I really love the character development of both old and new characters. Another set of features I really love are the new parkour and gliding system, not to mention the incredible graphics get even better. Expand

    After looking at the disasters released from the competition which have a way higher budget (Halo, Forza 5, and the mediocre Hellblade 2), I can’t help be thankful for Sony and the PlayStation studios for the incredible job.

    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.
