    One of the absolute best games I've played in the last decade. Not quite at the RDR2 / Witcher 3 level, but among the best of the rest. Deserves all the acclaim it gets. The graphics are beautiful, the story is great, the challenge is there - you'll certainly get your $60 here. Even the ambient music is great.

    There are some things that I would like improved, but the devs have shown that they listen and keep up with the game, and my complaints would be minor (clunky controls for potions, too many different weapons, fish and small animals sometimes disappear in front of you).

    I really enjoyed the first one and think this improved on the first one in basically every way.    … Expand

    An OK follow up on Zero Dawn, but with a story lacking and flow to match the ambitions for this follow up. The story and bits were trivial and full our different political views instead of an interesting story like Zero Dawn's many background stories.

    The graphics are nice and it plays smooth. It just feels like empty calories after a couple of ours and not an epic adventure again. OK game.

La jugabilidad, el combate, la diversidad de armas y de nuevas zonas han hecho de este juego un digno competidor a GOTY, lo recomiendo ampliamente, no se van a arrepentir.… Expand

You get to the spacecraft where you feel like your really interacting with the surroundings and the first boss OMG... The snake thing wowwwww I was in awe !

    Then the game starts...

    I was disappointed by the lack of animations. You collect a plant and it just disappears, you make a potion and nothing is shown on the screen... then I remembered this is a game about shooting stuff like a one person living army and running all the time...
    You never get to breath and look at things after that anymore, you just run your typical boring open world game...
    Skip the sidequest they are a waste of time.
    The landscape is really only beautiful when lit by the moon at dusk.
    I never cared about exp pts and the skill tree, completely irrelevant.
    Attakth game is wasted programming.

    Stop trying to do like all those other companies, stick to your strenghts and enhance your main objectif instead of copying every other genre altogether. For the sake of every gamers, stop making sidequests that makes you go back everywhere, which you have already visited because its an OPEN WORLD GAME and lots of them you come back a 3rd time because you don't have something yet to open the passage... It felt like a chore most of the time.

    Main quest is good, lost of details about aboriginal cities structures and cultures. Thats it.

    Too many similar items.
    Potions useless
    Food useless
    Ultimate they call Valor surge useless
    Armor coloring useless
    Every character feels innocent like they were born yesterday...
    Most enemies jump like fish out of the water and try to slam you twice...

    I wish they cut a 2/3 of this map and made the whole thing deep and thought-out like the beginning,

    I think this is the last time I play these kind of games. Even if something feels unique or is good looking graphically. Too much boring and repetitive stuff. Stop it with unreallistic inventories !!!
    I want mature stuff.

    I have rated Horizon Zero Down as 7 so I basically have to rate this higher. The game is much better than the previous one. Especially when it comes to repetitiveness. The enemies are much more unique and I was never bored with that game unlike the previous one. The dialogues are little childish but maybe I'm just getting too old..

    I loved HZD. But Forbidden west disappoints. It’s just kinda average, it feels like a filler game. And the fact that aloy bosses me around and tells me what to do and talks to herself is quite annoying. I’ve never played a game with built-in spoilers like this before. Very disappointing.

Sin duda yo no soy mujer, pero logre sentirme bien con esas palabras que me decían los npcs la verdad, a pesar de que no soy mujer, con este juego me sentí en la piel de Aloy y de lo que una vez me llamaron marginad@ ó sin madre, esta vez se sintió muy bien que cada vez que llegué o vea a alguien sea reconocido por lo que soy en la piel de Aloy, (Un campeón o campeona como le llaman a ella), este juego la verdad es un fuerte rival para el Goty de este año, para mi le doy el premio al mejor Goty del año por la nostalgia que se siente al jugarlo, y como logré conectar nuevamente a esos orígenes que antes tuve jugando al primer juego excelente, Los Zenith, Tilda, me hubiera encantado llegar a un acuerdo con ellos para que nos enseñen su conocimiento y todos juntos los humanos, volvamos a ser civilizados, cuando derroté a Tilda, me sorprendí que ella era el Jefe Final, y es que no iba a pelear como Sylens ni el Líder de los Zenith, si no con la misma Tilda, pensé que ella podría ser diferente, pero no todo siempre es como parece, cuando la derroté Aloy dijo unas palabras " Me hubiera encantado que todo fuera diferente y no acabará así", siento que ella dijo las cosas como son y yo también pensé así, pero lastimosamente en alguien que ya vivió varios siglos, aveces el conocimiento sólo llega a la sobervia y la mezquindad tal como cuando quiso secuestrar a Aloy, me sentí bien jugando nuevamente la saga por que conozco a Aloy y como tuvo que salir adelante que me parece un excelente y buen juego, 10/10, el final abierto con esa canción de la Voz julie elven, me recordó al primer juego, y nuevamente escuchar esa canción mientras volaba con el Alasol, me trajo nostalgia otra vez al saber que ya no iba a seguir volando en el Alasol, debido a que cuando volaba por el Alasol para hacer misiones, me dio pena dejar este juego y es que el Alasol fue mi Máquina favorita ya que volaba y volaba, y se sentía muy bien montar un Alasol, Buen final la verdad, me quedé viendo todo el final con el Alasol, y al final con esas palabras thank you playing, Gracias por jugar me encantó, no todos los juegos agradecen a quien compraron el juego, me hubiera encantado escucharlo desde la voz de Aloy y con las palabras en español, pero igual sentí el agradecimiento universal en el idioma inglés… Expand

    Sony lleva tiempo siguiendo una estela equivocada que empezó con Uncharted y funcionó hasta que en NDcambiaron de directivos. Ahora es una fórmula desgastada que la está llevando de hacer grandes juegos a hacer juegos mediocres, lentos y repetitivos que no aportan absolutamente nada nuevo. Ojalá lo vean a tiempo y cambien.

    Gameplay: Definitely much better than HZD with so many weapons to choose from and with far better skills tree. Also, customization option on several things is so great such as easy loot, sprint option, bypassing resource pick up animation etc.

    Dualsense: I loved some of the dualsense features in the game when you use a bow, pry door open, walk through tall grass etc.

    Machines: New machines are awesome, especially Slaughterspine, Clawstrider and of course Sunwing which makes exploring so much fun in NG+. I completed main story after exploring most of the map in my first playthrough.

    Music: Amazing music overall, especially when you fight certain machines.

    Characters: I like Aloy's character but the new companions are great as well. Better voiceovers than HZD. Weapons: A lot of new weapons. You can choose whichever fits your play style. Armors: A lot of new armors to choose from. I love transmog feature to use best armor but use look of any other good looking armors. Load times are almost negligible most of the times. Fast traveling is much better. I love how easy inventory management is, anything beyond carrying capacity goes to your stash.

Still not a bad thing. The story literally picks up right at the end of Zero Dawn. You find that there is not a set bad guy or faction. You face many different baddies throughout. I have not beat the game yet but I wanted to go ahead and give my two cents. Overall the game is solid. For this to be a cross gen game the graphics surprise me.

    -Too many weapons, armors upgrade options, it made the game extremely overwhelming and grinding
    -Story ending was disappointing
    -I played on day 1 and faces some glitches and bugs

    I really wanted to like this game, the first one was great. But this one feels drab and boring, the world is too stretched out with super repetitive or pointless PoI’s to make it arbitrarily feel rich with content. But the truth is you experience 90% of the game in the first 2 hours of gameplay. The story is dragged out and all I felt like doing was skipping the dialogue but I couldn’t.I really wanted to like this game, the first one was great.

    Amazing graphics. But convoluted story. Way too much farming. Upgrading weapons and armour is a nightmare. Way too many weapon types, and you don’t know what to use.

    The story was pretty nice, the gameplay and its fightimg were pretty nice, bit what made me give this game a 1 score were the bugs. Like HOLY SH*T this game is unplayable sometimes. When u race, for the plat, in the mounts, if you get hit by 2 enemies at the same time, your character gets bugged and you fall through the map.

I didn't even like the original one that much but began to enjoy it near the end. There seems to be no real consideration for how the combat should be handled, which can often lead to a game that feels freeing but with the lack of movement speed that Aloy has, the enemy attacks that slide across the ground to catch up to you in a full sprint, and near uselessness of the spear, it ends up being a very linear combat system. Horizon Zero Dawn is a wonderfully crafted game graphically but almost everything else about it seems like it was done by an amateur. Even character models reacting in conversations often looks robotic and out of place. Aloy is one of the worst protagonists in an recent game I've played, and her voice actress has continued to do a horrible job. It feels like the people that created this game started out in graphics and should have stayed there but somebody mistook their talent for something more.

    If I could sum up this game in a few words it would be: An interesting premise executed poorly. I will not purchase any DLC or sequel    … Expand

I really enjoyed the flying in this game the music the story was amazing the combat system was so much improved over the first game i love the characters of course coming from the first game and the new characters where amazing the motion capture animations variety of enemies lip syncing graphics is just the best in any game up to date the level of graphical detail is unmatched by any game up to date even Red Ded Redemption 2 cannot match Horizon Forbidden west physics and graphical detail Horizon Forbiddest is the best looking game on any platform there is no game on xbox or PC that looks better the quality is top notch from Sony Playstation and First Party Studio Guerilla Games. The haptic feedback the 3d audio adaptrive triggers are well used the game input lag is responsive even in 30fps the side quests are amazing A masterpiece in gaming that will never be forgotten.

    It's good, but not quite what I was hoping for after a five-year wait. The main story seems relatively short, and I spent too much of the game doing grind on side missions in which I had zero interest. The real pull of this game comes from the post-apocalyptic, us-against-the-future vibes, and it strays from it too often into its tribal world that's relatively uninteresting in comparison.It's good, but not quite what I was hoping for after a five-year wait.

    Like I mentioned, I was very much in on this for a continuation of the story from the groundbreaking original game, but I was left with the distinct impression that not much had been resolved in terms of plot points or my lore questions. In many ways, the can had just been kicked down the road for the next installment, and that's a disappointing thing to have to endure after a half-decade's patience.    … Expand

Normally I would have given it a 9.4 dude to the very small amount of bugs but since people on here are giving it a zero or 2 I decided to give it a 10 to offset that. This game will not disappoint and is worth the money I paid. So much fun.

The last boss battle makes no sense at all. It feels rushed. The writers were probably given a month to think up a story and they went on a bender for 3 weeks and drunkenly put this together. And now theres going to be a third game with ridiculous antagonist.

    Aloy's hair moves a lot, the controls aren't intuitive and the camera has a mind of its own. Because of all that, the game makes me dizzy and nauseous.
    I can't say I feel compelled to solve whatever problem their civilization is facing either.

Other than those two aspects, I find this game to be quite beautiful and amazing. I enjoyed fighting the robots and cheesing my way through the game when I learned that explosives deal a great amount of dmg to anything. The gameplay is pretty smooth and optimized, but like I said, not perfect. The movement system is pretty great, but just like the fighting mechanics, it's also not perfect. Sometimes Aloy wont move to where you want her to move, and when fighting, specifically dodging , this game has that really annoying enemy mechanic where the enemy traces you while you dodge and immediately moves its attack towards the player after dodging. Could just be skill issue, I don't know haha. I play this game in hard mode. Overall, I really enjoyed the scenery the game has.

    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.
