    Uma das melhores histórias e universo de ficção científica já criados em qualquer mídia. Aloy é muito carismática. Personagens bem detalhados. Missões secundárias interessantes recompensadoras. Mundo aberto vivo e cheio de atividades. Gameplay fluído e divertido. Gráficos lindos e com paisagens e biomas estonteantes. Enfim, mais uma obra prima da Playstation.

    Amazing graphics and fantastice gameplay, story is as interesting as the first. The open world does feel a bit more alive, but probably could have used more random encounters and random discoveries to keep things a bit more interesting outside of settlements.

    Esse jogo demonstra um primor gráfico incrível, além disso me surpreendeu como até mesmo as missões secundárias conseguem ser legais, a jogabilidade consegue ser fluida para esse tipo de jogo, e as máquinas cada uma com a sua fraqueza e a sua maneira de derrotar. Esse jogo é um dos claros concorrente a game do ano, parabéns Guerrilla games.

    This game takes what Zero Dawn did, makes it better, and adds many new mechanics that are great for the series. It fleshes out the original characters while adding new interesting ones. A great story, gameplay, and open-world combine for a fun memorable adventure.

    So far, this game has the makings of a masterpiece. The story is intriguing so far, the gameplay is much improved, particularly the melee combat, and there’s so much fun to do. I’ve experience a few minor bugs (nothing game breaking) which keeps it from a 10 but overall, this game is a must play for anyone who enjoys open-world action games.

    Horizon Forbidden West takes place after the extraordinary events of the previous game where our hero Aloy learned the truth about her past and the Zero Dawn project that was terraforming the Earth with its robot animals and dinosaurs to make it habitable for humans again.

However with the destruction of the Zero Dawn project and its AI Gaia, Aloy is now on the hunt for a backup of Gaia in order to avert another disaster (or will it?) that takes her to a new part of planet. Additionally, developers Guerrilla Games successfully pay homage to Horizon: Zero Dawn, the first game as they expand the mythology of this universe, including Aloy in their latest epic next-gen blockbuster epic.

    If you are new to the series, its creators give newcomers a great recap of the previous game that starts with a recurrent dream for our protagonist. Furthermore, the narrative at the start nicely explains the events of the first game, including a “light” tutorial of the gaming mechanics, including a handful of difficulty levels. Supporting the engaging story telling are the great in-game cinematics which help bring it all to life as we follow the Saviour of Meridian, including moments of betrayals and even romance! It’s a true PS5 blockbuster in every sense of the word!    … Expand

    Absolutely loved this game. Wonderful sequel to the first game, which I enjoyed but didn't love like I did this. The storyline, the characters, even the side quests, were all so engaging. Can't wait to see what we get next (hopefully) in this story. The one thing I'd ask for: new game plus, would love to play it with the tools from the very beginning.

I will say that having played the first game, I only needed a few hours to determine what score I would give for this game. There's not many negatives, but I"ll list them below

    -Aloy talks WAY too much to narrate what's going on, sometimes less is more, and I don't need a narration of you climbing a rock or reacting everytime something happens. It's a bit much and this game gives cutscenes and quest markers already... best comparison is that some people find Navi from Ocarina of Time to be annoying, well scale that annoying factor by a lot. Just too much dialogue.
    -A lot of clipping/falling through things, like when climbing ladders, or when I failed to make a jump i fell through the mountain and couldn't get out, so I had to waste a fast travel pack. Also a few times when things would randomly pop in during cutscenes. Actually surprised how many times this happened in the first few hours.
    -Controls are somewhat clunky at first, starting to get used to it but I felt like the first game it was much easier regarding controls.
    - Some filler quests that don't add to the main quests at all and aren't that interesting to complete
    -Don't like the climbing mechanics in this game, sometimes it's unclear where you need to climb (e.g. like ledges/platforms) and the animations for this are not very well done.

    Pros
    -Good sound effects/music
    -Game looks amazing
    -They improved the combat mechanics and added more skills that you can use in combat
    -They improved the skill trees and added more playstyles.
    - No game breaking bugs so far and I think some are overreacting on some of the bugs or the lighting and animations of the game.

    I think this is a solid 8/10 game. I don't see my opinion changing that much of the overall rating even when I finish the game. I do recommend that you play the first game though before this as it makes a lot of references to the first game and only takes place a few months after the first game. I do think the game is worth full price. Good game overall.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I own a ps5 so unlike a lot of fake reviews coming from Xbox fanboys who don't own the game and are making up lying fake reviews to get the game to have a low score. That's childish. I hope metacritic stops the faker review bombs. I am a fan of the first game. I was excited to see all of the characters come back to assist Aloy. I currently play on resolution mode to see it in glorious 4k. This is probably one the best looking games of all time. I have not made it to the forbidden west because I am leveling up my weapons. They brought back the rechargeable armor from the first game but you have to do a series of scavenger quests to unlock it. All of the weapons seem the same so far well they have some new ones suck as you can throw the spear like a bomb javelin. I can't really go further because I am still at the beginning. I see that the sun king is in love with Aloy but it's like they don't want her to have a romantic relationship. This game so far is a masterpiece. Guerilla games has done it again.… Expand

    Would give it a 9/10 but due to review bombing occurring I’m trying to balance the scales a little.

    Yes this has SJW stuff to the max, but if you played the first one you should already know that’s gonna be present. Putting that aside, the game plays and feels and looks fantastic, def could do with out some of the social commentary that force onto in these games nowadays, but to say the game isn’t fun to play would be an outright lie.

    If you enjoyed your first adventure with ally you’ll enjoy this one as well.    … Expand

    Amazing game. It does everything better than it’s Predecessor, one of the things I didn’t like about the first one was the story. I never got immersed in it. But I always loved the gameplay. Forbidden west has awesome gameplay with a way better story than the first game. If you haven’t give it a try

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

    Amazing sequel. It improves on so much while staying familiar enough to the original. Lots of new mechanics, lore, machines, environments, weapons, tribes, characters. The side quests are comprehensive and detailed. All interactions are well voiced and uniquely animated (looking at you Zero Dawn). And if course the stunning graphics.

The world is breathtaking. People giving this a 0 are insane. Seriously? This game oozes passion and genuine effort. I saw the state of the game being compared to Cyberpunk. Come on now. I’m 25 hours in and encountered hardly any bugs. None that were game breaking. Impressive for an open world game of this size and scope on release day. That’s just my experience of course, but still, Cyberpunk?

    I haven’t actually played the game yet because my main console is Xbox but from what I have saw this game is a 10. Better than any Xbox exclusive that has ever came out.

    Crossfire x= generic trash
    Halo infinite= mediocre trash
    And oh wait there are no other games.
    At this point I should burn my Xbox and permanently play playstion

    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.
