    Only a few hours into it and I found myself pausing for a solid 5 minutes every so often and looking at the incredible animations and graphics in front of me. Guerrilla Games has crafted a masterful sequel, that improves upon everything laid out in HZD. This is a must-play game on PS5, to truly admire all the work that went into crafting this phenomenal sequel.

    Boş hissettiren açık dünyası ile görevleri de oldukça sıkıcı olması yetmezmiş gibi birde anlamsız bir hikayeye sahip. Mekanikler çabucak sıkıcı olabiliyor. Yalnızca grafik olarak güzel bir yapım olmuş. Ancak ben bir grafik fetişisti değilim ben oyun oynamaya geldim.

    Game play is okay, graphic is great, but the whole game is just another empty and boring open-world assembly line product. Aloy is just nagging on everything she sees, everyone else will give you a speech about their meaningless perspective of the world. The greatest thing in this game is probably you can see Aloy's facial hair.

Enemies are jumping across the whole place towards to you and you just can’t outrun them or hide behind something. It’s just try to hit component - get hit - run arround - heal - repeat.

    NPCs are too strong with superpowers and blazing hammers like from Thor movie.

    New mechanics and skills are a mess. They are to complex but not in the good way. I don’t want to use any over compliceted valors.

    Storywise it is so far a scavenger hunt for some mcguffins set in a open world that is too much stuffed.

    I’m about a 10 hours in game and except from the first part of the game it’s a PAIN TO PLAY. I’m putting the game away.    … Expand

    The game is very polished and does what it does very well, but I can't get over a few things that keep this score low.

    1. It's a cut-and-paste AC-style clear-the-map open world game. Derivative in the extreme, even to the point where it added a board game at most locations.

    2. The ultra-wokeness of the game. Nearly all the capable characters in the game, NPC-quest givers included, are women. Men are bumbling fools, simps, evil, or ridiculous. There isn't "gender equity" in this game; it's girl power all the time in a painfully obvious way.

    3. Aloy is boring and condescending, and her whisper-mumble is annoying. What makes this all the more frustrating is that this is the woman who voiced TINY TINA. God, what a waste of talent. Poor character direction.

    4. All machines bumrush and bodyslam you at light speed, no matter how big they are. It's ridiculous and poor battle design.

    Despite all this, the game is GOOD and worth playing. But to me, its flaws will always be too obvious not to notice.    … Expand

    Impressive in technical aspects but a very forgettable open world 101. Bland story that only serves to leave it open for yet another sequel, annoying dialog, same old combat. See you in Horizon Evil 3: Nemesis for the same formulaic game design.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into this game being a pretty big fan of the first. HZD wasn’t my favorite game but it was very enjoyable and Aloy was adorable. Right from the beginning of the sequel I felt a strange disconnect however. It was pretty and colorful but just completely uninteresting. People praise this game and assume anyone not enjoying it is review-bombing but this game has honestly done nothing for me. The only fight after 45 hours that sparked any joy in me was the slaughterspine. It was challenging but very doable with interesting attack patterns and just a cool robot design. After this glorious fight the Zeniths come in…take Beta…and now I’m in a mansion with paintings I’m supposed to be interested in? The game just feels like it wants you to learn so much about the world and it’s people but those bits of knowledge feel dull and pointless (no pun intended). Then I had to laugh as I exit and a behemoth machine is half stuck in the mansion wall completely frozen like it spawned in wrong. Just completely unimpressed by the bugs, performance, hair glitching during serious scenes. The Witcher 3 was buggy but at least that big beautiful open world had something worthwhile with unmatched side quests alongside an awesome main story.

    To sum it up: this feels a lot like a Ubisoft open world game. Unless you have fun multiplayer elements like The Division it’s just pretty with little substance.    … Expand

I was so excited to see the continuation of what was supposed to be a dynamic spunky and witty redhead take on new and exciting puzzles, machines and historical conflicts. What we got instead was the poor product of developers working from home. I think I'm not the first to say that I would have been more than fine with waiting until the world could heal from Covid so the game could actually have been made properly and with love. I can completely understand how this game wasn't even nominated as "Game of The Year" its unimaginative storyline, annoying characters and the inability for anything part of the game to be properly saturated is so infuriating. The game menu (where the notebook, inventory and map can be found) is too dark and outdated. When looking at dyed outfits you can barely see a difference between a bright fuschia and a deep blue because they both look brown with the incredibly dark and ugly background making everything look muddy and prehistoric. Then when you traverse the excessive map you have to look away from half the sights because the colors make you nauseous and leave you with a piercing headache (as if Varl and any of the other characters don't already). Aloy becomes this stand-of-ish character that has no head and wants to just bruteforce everything as compared to the shy and pessimistic clever girl she was. I think it would be tolerable if the other characters from the previous game didn't give Aloy such a hard time for leaving to SAVE THE WORLD!! The puzzles are pretty hard and leave players scanning over and over as they try to remember what tools they have and what controls it takes to use. Not to mention that most grappling points are finicky at best and most of the time leave Aloy falling from great heights which force you to do the climb all over again. I was so excited when I got a preview of the new cool tools we would be getting in the new game (the glider especially) it turned out to be even more disappointing. The glider mostly falls and doesn't actually take Aloy anywhere but down. The spears are cool but getting them to hit their target is as frustrating as listening to Varl flirt with his tree hugging girlfriend. I wanted so much for this game to be great and was so disappointed by the outcome. I guess that's you get for getting your coding degree via Zoom.… Expand

    Love the game. Beautiful open world with meaningful character interactions. Side quests feel meaningful. There is an huge improvement in the gameplay and traversal compare to the previous entry. Playing it on PS5.

    I can't believe this is a cross-gen game. I can't wait to see what the team at Guerrilla can do in the future with this franchise. Especially as a full next game game.    Love the game.

    Horizon Forbidden West hands down has some of the best graphics in any open world game to date, it's seriously up there with RDR2. Also, it literally has the best character models in any open world game I feel like I'm playing a Naughty Dog game.

    I really wanted to play this game, after the first part I remained in anticipation of the continuation of the series of games. But in Kazakhstan they have disabled the ability to buy the game on-line, and I am very upset. I hope in the near future Sony will solve something with the problem of buying games in their store

    Things are slowly changing, but it's noticable with every passing day. With the good (?) intention to diversify the cast, every key minority person in this game has been strategically given a roll to serve a specific purpose.

    Then we have the boring, unoriginal story about the ending of the world, and Aloy's portrayal as the heroine who is the only person capable of saving the day (in    Things are slowly changing, but it's noticable with every passing day.

    Then we have the boring, unoriginal story about the ending of the world, and Aloy's portrayal as the heroine who is the only person capable of saving the day (in one of the cutscenes she literally said "...and I'm the only one who can fix it..." despite the fact that she's being characterized as someone who displays modesty and humility).

    The game also really wants to make you feel good with all the coddling and flattery. Being in the role of a world saving superstar, you get to enjoy what it feels like when a statue is dedicated to you to honor your past accomplishments; and many a time you would be greeted with the utmost admirations from NPCs. Basically, the same technique they introduced in Mass Effect 2; a game from 12 years ago.

    The most fun that I had with this game is the combat. It outshines the competition, because it doesn't rely on tranditional guns; and with new additions and finetuning, it plays and feels just as what I had remembered from the first game.

    The second fun thing that I had was the photo mode. The stunning visuals will turn you into a tourist looking out for every opportunity to find the most scenic landscapes.

    Overall, it's a stunning looking game with fun and exciting combat. But the story and the agenda is what keeps this game from reaching the heights it deserves.    … Expand

    How do people play these boring games. There is nothing original here. It’s not fun to go to a location, and then have the game tell you “go get these three different components now.” Even Aloy gets annoyed with the game, and she is the hero.

    Horizon Zero Dawn is one of my favorite games I’ve ever played, so naturally my expectations were sky high for Forbidden West, and I’m happy that most of those expectations paid off! Is it better than Zero Dawn? Objectively yes, it improves upon nearly everything from the first game, but I think I still prefer Zero Dawn to this, mostly thanks to the pacing of Forbidden West’s story. FirstHorizon Zero Dawn is one of my favorite games I’ve ever played, so naturally my expectations were sky high for Forbidden West, and I’m happy that most of those expectations paid off! Is it better than Zero Dawn? Objectively yes, it improves upon nearly everything from the first game, but I think I still prefer Zero Dawn to this, mostly thanks to the pacing of Forbidden West’s story. First things first, the graphics in this game are absolutely phenomenal, I think it may have actually surpassed The Last of Us 2’s graphics! I didn’t see a single spot in this game that’s wasn’t a visual feast for the eyes, truly a technical achievement in gaming, makes me even more excited to see God of War Ragnarok later this year!! The framerate is buttery smooth too, just don’t play it on the mode that doesn’t prioritize the framerate, trust me you won’t notice a difference visually. The story also goes to extreme sci-fi lengths that I’m still processing 24 hours after finishing the campaign, the implications make me BEYOND excited for future DLC & a 3rd Horizon game!! The lore of this world is still so good, like a homemade soup that I need to sip up every last drop of. I’m glad they went as far as they did with the story, the payoff was really good at the end & also left me wanting copious amounts more! The combat is also fantastic, although that’s not a surprise considering Zero Dawn’s combat was as well, melee not so much. But they added so much more complexity to melee & combat in general here, it’s hard not to be impressed! All of the new machines are awesome too, I found myself wide-eye staring at some of the new designs when I first came across them, eager to see what damage they were capable of doing to me. Also, the facial animations & motion capture are AMAZING. Everybody felt so alive & real compared to the stillness of Zero Dawn.
    I only have a couple of issues that dragged this experience down for me in comparison to Zero Dawn’s near perfection. First is minor, just a bug that only occurred once for me, made me to reload my recent save because the game started to chug randomly & during a cutscene made the audio completely out of sync during a key story moment, among other various non-gamebreaking bugs, and at one point only the lights on the Machine’s heads loaded in so it looked like a pair of walking eyes instead of a huge mechanized velociraptor lol. I also really liked doing Tallneck quests in Zero Dawn, but here they almost all fell flat for me, none gave me the satisfaction of scaling these huge beasts like in the first game. I’ve also seen the “Ubisoft open world” insult thrown at this game & yeah I can kinda see it here, it’s incredibly overwhelming at first, as are all the weapons & inventory upgrades & such, as someone who played Zero Dawn for dozens of hours & doesn't recall having these issues with an overwhelming amount of things thrown at me at once, I was a bit puzzled. Eventually everything clicked though, so just stick with it! My biggest issue is the pacing of the campaign though.. It’s still a very good story but in comparison to Zero Dawn, this doesn’t come close to it for me. The beginning starts out extremely promising but once you go to track down the 3 things that you need, the pacing can either slam on the gas pedal or slam on the brakes for hours at a time & it’s jarring to say the least. You barely see any of the main antagonists either, you hear about them plenty, but their appearances basically bookended this story, which yeah happened in the first game too, albeit the antagonists are MUCH more interesting this time around, which makes me more disappointed we didn’t get the proper amount of time with them. Zero Dawn’s story had so much intrigue which kept the pacing snappy as you went to the next exposition dump over many hours, here it feels like there’s massive dumps followed by empty space. Again, I really enjoyed the story but the whole middle of the game just didn’t click with me the way I wanted it to. Hopefully in the next game they go full unapologetic sci-fi, I know Guerrilla is especially capable of it after this game. This game is fantastic & a worthy follow up to Zero Dawn despite stumbling in some areas. The future is bright for Horizon!    … 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.
