    ANT XBOTS, estou com 10 horas de jogo no momento, por enquanto se prova superior ao primeiro em vários aspectos, não costumo vir dar nota, ainda mais em algo que ainda não terminei, mas isso é uma iniciativa anti Caixolas q vem dar 0, porque não tem jogos ao nível Playstation, assim tentando denegrir a concorrência hahahah

    A játék hozza az előd álltal lefektetett alapokat. A történet érdekes, már ezért is érdemes végig játszani. Ps5 -őn a stabil 60fps nagyon sokat dob hozzá az élményhez.

    I enjoyed the first game but roughly 5 years after the original release I have gotten sick of the "checklist" style list of things to do and boring/elongated dialogue for even the most minimal side characters. The visuals and combat carry the game.

    But Forbidden West fixes these problems at all , and adds a lot of new content. Optimization on PS5 very well , graphics is awesome, Face animations are beautiful , Guerilla made a lot of work. Now i'm playing with enjoy in my heart , I recommend to all people try this game.

However, while the map and sceneries were absolutely gorgeous, specially while flying around on a Sunwing. Unfortunately the story and characters failed to get me hooked like the first one did. The saddest part of the game was the ultimate message Guerrilla conveyed to the players which was obviously inspired by The Last of Us 2 and forced them to twist the story and ruin such a great game just like last of us 2 did. I'm afraid this is becoming a new trend and bad influence for players specially the younger generation. Sigh.… Expand

Horizon zero Dawn had such a cool storyline. Horizon forbidden West’s story fell pretty flat for me. I had a feeling this is where the story was going to go and I kept the hope alive I would be wrong. I wasn’t wrong. My last gripe is the glitches and entire scene pop in during a cutscene. It was terrible. The PS5 loading power can handle this with ease but the game needed another 6 months. I was not impressed and pretty let down by this game. If I could trade it in I would.    … Expand

    Another plus is the upgrade armor/weapon system and skill tree which let's you decide the way you want to play melee, range, stealth etc. etc. The only negative thing I found was a small amount of glitches and bugs but no game-brakers The biggest downside it's because the game is a continuation of the previous Horizon zero dawn you must play the first one to understand what the story is all about plus who are the main/side characters and how you know them though the story.

    And a lot of grindage and gathering.

    Only Lara has hunting, corridors and caves, and here the hunt for robots, corridors and the Assassin constantly wakes up with his grind in the open world and the stupidest plot dialogues and history in the open worlds of ubisoft.
    With all the titanic work done with models and animations = a terrible boring, dull and stupid game with absurd dialogues and just stupid dialogues.

    All open-world games have turned into gum for idiots.
    Not one new idea or something, so that after half an hour it doesn't get boring. Modern AAA games are wasted time.
    And only Indies are sometimes surprised, but they lack elaboration of details and quality.

    All the screenwriters are extinct, like dinosaurs.
    There were only "effective managers" and "character designers" or "clothing designers" - I don't know.
    But definitely not game designers. They didn't even touch this game, didn't even see it, and didn't even pass by to give the developers a slap on the head.
    Play ENSLAVED Odyssey to the West or Genshin Impact instead.

    But not in this **** which is not even 10% the level of Sony and PS.

    There is no limit to my indignation. With all the typical beauty
    of "HORIZON FORBIDDEN WEST", the eyes get used to it after 10 minutes and the game does not even try to surprise.

    Absolutely everything in it is done on the dump, probably except for the model of the main character and animation. Only Ubisoft can do worse.

    So a new fashion has also gone, when the games are completely different for the first 2 hours and after 2 hours. The first 2 hours of the game may even be interesting, but not later. All so that you can't get the money back.
    This game shows right away how lame it is and you realize that 100 hours of repetitions are waiting for you.

    Oh, yes, all over the world of the game, everyone knows who the heroine is and what she did in the last part. Are they sure they don't have SMS there?    … Expand

    A fabulous sequel that is well worth picking up.

    I absolutely fell in love with Horizon Zero Dawn when it first came out. The concept and storyline were on point and the whole premise felt unique.

It is    A fabulous sequel that is well worth picking up.

    I absolutely fell in love with Horizon Zero Dawn when it first came out. The concept and storyline were on point and the whole premise felt unique. Forbidden West builds on the first game in so many ways.

    First, let's talk about the mocap. Clearly Guerrilla Games have been really hard at work in this area and it pays off. It is fantastic. Casting my mind back to the first game, the poor lip synching for the characters broke the immersion. It was hard to ignore. In Forbidden West, it is a joy! Particularly as you interact with so many NPCs, the mocap really stands out. Big plus.

    Second, the skill tree. Forbidden West expands on the skills you could acquire in the first game by ALOT. There are so many things to learn and uncover - new abilities, new special abilities. Some games with large skill trees can be daunting and a bit overwhelming, but Horizon balances it very nicely. There are plenty of opportunities scattered across the open world to acquire new skill points. By the way, loving the new weapon special abilities!

    Finally, the graphics and general gameplay. To note, I am playing on resolution mode. It is lovely, and the graphics are excellent. But, there are a few instances of pop-in. It's nothing major, but it is obvious. The gameplay is everything you came to love from the first game, though I still find the weapon selection a little bit jarring. I wish there was a way I could select all my weapons - particularly as they have introduced new weapon classes. Sliding around, slow-mo action are all great. It is not entirely fluid though and I would have rated this game higher if it could reach 60 fps without sacrificing graphical fidelity. (performance mode was just a bit too blurry for my liking),

    Nevertheless, this is a very solid game. And in all honesty, it is good to see a high quality game released that isn't plagued by poor, lack of or unfinished content which has been very common in recent releases.

    Recommendation is to buy! It is a great game and takes out the annoyances that are typically associated with open-world games. Oh by the way, if your backpack gets full, it will send items to your storage! Hurraay no more mindlessly running back and forth to pick up items you had no space for.    … Expand

    Fantastic game that deserves nothing less than a 9 or 10. Metacritic need to do something, like sending them a pic of your ID and your console to be able to rate a game, how are you supposed to take User rating serious if Xbox fans just downvote because they are sad that all the good games are only on playstation.

    Such a bland game. Why is it so hard for these writers to create compelling characters? The world feels so bloated with too much crap, most of which isn't fun. The combat is decent but it's just not fun enough for me to push through. Lets please lift our standards

    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.
