    visuals are nice but thats all it got going for it, This game is a reason i dont hype games so much and they showed trailers that misled me on the quality of the game, i liked the first one but this could have been better and im disapointed and i regret this purchase.

    Great game, if you liked zero dawn you will love forbidden west. The mechanics in this game are all fleshed out. The game has a lot to do and is very pretty. Aloy ventures into a new land that was mentioned before in zero dawn. Bringing new clans and enemies with a lot on new robots. It’s great.

    people need to learn that this place is not for kids .. haters ... fanboys ... if you can't be professional and give a good review and overall score ... then you better stay quiet .... this game was 10 /10 for me ... and the reason is obvious ... just play it and feel the music nature graphic adventure and gameplay .. it's not that hard

    Отличная игра, как кто-то может поставить 0, я не понимаю! Отличный сюжет и отличный бой. Так много дел и так много красивых мест, которые нужно увидеть в этом великолепном открытом мире.

    One of the best games of this generation so far, incredible graphics with even better gameplay than the first game, the side quests are much better this time around because they play out like separate story lines, there’s lots to do and explore and the skill tree is much more expansive with combat feeling completely overhauled.

I’m not sure why people are review bombing this game but objectively it’s no lower than an 8, Xbox dans are probably just salty because they don’t have anything good to play this year. Do yourself a favor and pick this game up if you have a PS5, you won’t be disappointed.… Expand

    Horizon2 améliore en tout point le premier épisode. Tellement beau, une chouette narration avec de belle surprises. Un jeu ultra plaisant à faire, à jouer et à parcourir.
    Il reste néanmoins classique sur son OW ou ces mécaniques de jeux ( qui étaient déjà très bonne si bien exploité par le joueur dans le 1 ). Beaucoup de bug d'animation avec un système d'escalade bien degueulasse.

    The game is a massive upgrade from the original. Everything has been reworked down to the finest of details. The game is a much smoother experience.

    Ignore the negative review bombs. The game is not a mess, it is not filled with bugs, the game is fun and the game is beautiful. If you want to enjoy a fun, enjoyable game, Horizon Forbidden West has what you need.    … Expand

    Its a glitchfest, just like Cyberpunk 2077. Horizon Forbidden West is on cheap engine and its very poorly designed this game is and its almost like theres no environment interaction with the character's weapon too. Also strange glitches you can go through the underground from standing on field and you can skip the entire level to the end of the level already

    i don't see what the big fuss is about, honestly. the voice acting and the character modeling is very stiff, very unlikable, much lower than the naughty dog standards and even worse than the first game. the story is unceccessary (like 90% of sequels). the visuals are pretty but not perfect: for instance those little dust specks that generate on aloy's footsteps inside in a non-lit room...i don't see what the big fuss is about, honestly. the voice acting and the character modeling is very stiff, very unlikable, much lower than the naughty dog standards and even worse than the first game. the story is unceccessary (like 90% of sequels). the visuals are pretty but not perfect: for instance those little dust specks that generate on aloy's footsteps inside in a non-lit room... seem funny. the water splashes when swimming, also funny and non-realistic. so no, it's not the flagship game i was waiting for. it's a 6 out of 10 for me so far (and i don't see what can possibily turn it upwards...) it's not a bad game, but some aspects of it seem a bit "phoned in", not very inventive AT ALL. let's be honest: it's on days gone's level, and that game was hated by the press... well, that's marketing for ya!

    Not as good as the first one really I thought the majority of it was pretty lackluster, there was some really good moments but not enough to warrant a better score

    Superb!!! Культурное разнообразие мира игры подчеркивается и различиями биомов. В Zero Dawn, например, большой красивый мир был беден контекстом и смыслом: какие-то джунгли, какая-то пустыня, какая-то зона с высотками. Из записок выяснялось, что «это где-то в США», но авторы не обыгрывали окружение детально. В Forbidden West все куда богаче: тут и Невада (с интересной новойSuperb!!!

Из записок выяснялось, что «это где-то в США», но авторы не обыгрывали окружение детально. В Forbidden West все куда богаче: тут и Невада (с интересной новой предысторией), и затонувший в песках Лас-Вегас, и полуразрушенный Лос-Анджелес. В каком-то смысле сиквел ощущается более постапокалиптическим, чем оригинал – потому что в этот раз чаще вспоминаешь, что бегаешь по руинам нашей Земли, а не по каким-то странным сай-фай декорациям.

    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.
