    Não vale o valor cobrado. Muita mídia para um jogo com problemas de bugs e etc. Dá impressão que os canais de games tentaram esconder os problemas latentes desse jogo.

    Un gioco pressoché perfetto, il livello di immedesimazione è assurdo, non lo provavo dai tempi di skyrim. Senza parlare del livello grafico, bilanciamento armi ecc. Rispetto al primo capitolo hanno migliorato i punti deboli come la scalata un po’ più ardua e le secondarie varie e divertenti.

    - A couple of minor graphical glitches.
    - Waypoint update was a bit confusing.
    If they fix it, I'd recommend it. Right now, play the waiting game.

    Tudo bugado é impressionante, um hype lá em cima e a personagem atravessa parede, galhos de árvores, Rocha, e por um instante achei q ela se transformava também. Graficamente é OK e não passa disso

    Looks great and that's about it. Aloy gets stuck on objects, massive pop in, aloy t bars and floats about. Ive fell through the world twice. The ps5 has crashed twice. Dead enemies floating mid air while spinning at a hundred miles an hour. Ive played for 6 hours now. Had to quit playing until this mess is fixed. Unacceptable state to release a game.

    Game is average and it is not a masterpiece, boring dialogues and aloy speak alone for too much time, quite some bugs.

    Decent graphics but there are last gen games which look better.

Even if the game had problems, most of the time I never really had a reason to evaluate my game buying decision before a purchase. I never even thought I would make a video game review. But after my last two games I've bought have been an absolute abomination, one being FC6 and now this dumpster fire, I now have to apply the same BS detector skepticism to video games that I do to the rest of the entertainment world, sports included. How on earth is this game an 88 right now? The 8.2 from the users is less believable. The controls are so clunky. Aloy stops to fart everytime she grabs a ladder or climbable object. The pullcaster animation looks so bad. Everything just feels mediocre. There is none of the fluidity here that I found in Uncharted. The combat is ok, fighting robotic predators is pretty trippy and enjoyable at times. Aloy is an awesome looking character, and she has the potential to be a cultural icon in video games like Lara Croft or Samus or even Jill Valentine. But holy moly do they lay on the scorned high school girl attitude thick. How am I supposed to care about anything she says when she speaks like what she is saying doesn't matter? She either needs to hydrate more or develop better breathing habits, because she is always out of breath. She cuts people off, uses such childish body language and actually grrrrr's when frustrated. You had it, studio whoever. You had it. A really compelling leading female character. But instead of giving her a character arch, depth, and empathetic dialogue with NPC's, I am cringing every cutscene or dialogue moment. Do real people actually have conversations like they do in this game? Do AAA devs now just get a budget to project their childhood trauma onto unwitting consumers? It's so bad. I don't think that this game is a zero. I don't. Zero would be the game not even working. But there is no way anyone operating in good faith would give this a 10. This is why its important to read the words when looking at reviews. The video game industry is now on the same path (and probably has been for a while) as the rest of our entertainment and even just our overall culture, just circling the toilet drain.… Expand

    NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR PS5. I didn’t even get past the tutorial area. The fidelity mode is unplayable due to a nauseating 30fps (a barbaric benchmark that shouldn’t even be allowed as a target frame rate in next gen games) and then we have the half-assed performance mode. The 60fps is great but your compromise is terrible graphics. It’s like playing on medium pc settings with ZERONOT ACCEPTABLE FOR PS5. I didn’t even get past the tutorial area.

The 60fps is great but your compromise is terrible graphics. It’s like playing on medium pc settings with ZERO anti-aliasing and MAX sharpness so everything looks super noisy and jittery and sharp; honestly, it’s like I’m playing in 720p. To add to it, the colors are very muted when the camera is still but when turning they pop in all rich and vibrant and then go back to being dull when you stop turning. This is all so jarring and totally takes you out of the experience which means both modes are unplayable at least for me. This is a huge step backwards and totally unacceptable for PS5. I’ve played Demons Souls remake, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Spider-Man Miles Morales, all these games have excellent graphics AND frame rate. What Horizon Forbidden West has done here is just unacceptable. This is most definitely a PS4 game we are playing, and the PS5 version they want to charge $70 for is absolutely not worth it. Horizon Zero Dawn looks better in performance mode than this crap. What happened to the checkerboard rendering of the PS4 era?? How did this get past QA?! I even tried to refund the game from Sony until it’s fixed but they said since I already downloaded the game I don’t qualify for a refund. That must be nice to have zero worries about gamers returning an unplayable game when you have a policy as criminal as they do. Guess the devs don’t have as much pressure to put out a top notch product when you consider the nonexistent refund policy. My money is being held hostage and I have a game I can’t stomach to play. Never going to preorder another PlayStation game as long as I live. I will wait for more reviews and USER feedback in the future and buy on PC when there’s an option or else wait for the inevitable port. Sad thing is, I purposely paid for the $70 version (instead of upgrading from a PS4 purchase) because I wanted to show support. NEVER. AGAIN.… Expand

    It's so bad. Graphics are great but a game is more than graphics. Graphics are way down the priority list of what makes a good game.

    And this game is all graphics. The gameplay is braindead, increasing the difficulty only makes it more tedious (higher numbers), it's still braindead though.

    If you want a long movie that makes you do chores, a walking simulator that looks pretty, get this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm about 15 hrs in and I had to take a break. Game despite being visually beautiful start to play on my nerves.

    There is an option to play as an explorer which supposedly limits amount of pointers that are suppose to guide you to your destination. So far so good. Once you get to your destination thou, rather than having a time to explore and figure out location, you are being bombarded with Aloy's (or her companion) comments on what to do and how to do it. I get into ruins, 5 seconds later Aloy will tell you that maybe her focus will reveal more details (that's a good tip in tutorial, but one time is enough), but it's every time everywhere you go. You try to figure out how to get up there? You have 3 seconds, if not Aloy will tell you that you have to shoot the ladder with your bow. The hidden ladder that you haven't even had a chance to discover yet. Her chatter is constant over and over again the same things, My pockets are full but I'll keep this in my stash etc. It feels like Subnautica Below Zero again.
    Wish there was a option to turn off Retard Mode. It seriously feels like Devs came to conclusion that all the gamers suddenly lost 90% of brain power and need guidance like a 5 years old.

    Visually game is a stunning experience, I'm interested in photography and there's just no way to progress fast because photo mode is so amazing.

    I will give it 10/10 if devs fix the spoiler problem.    … Expand

    - Zeniths are so boring I felt like turning the game off. No Sephiroth type evil to see here. SNORE.
    - paying full price for a game whose “main” story is 10-20 hours tops is complete garbage when that story is low tier. FF7R got a pass because it was awesome start to finish. This…no.

    Gameplay
    The budget is very present, mechanics feel smooth and strong. Movement, Combat and other utility mechanics are improved from the first game. Enemies are bigger and tricky to deal with.

    However, interacting with the world itself is mundane, the overwhelming majority of the areas are nice wallpaper that is quite forgettable outside a few landscape areas designed for photo mode fans. The world is very similar to a Ubisoft title with very little substance and is completely carried by the graphics. Games like BOTW, RDR2 and even the Yakuza franchise have their own open worlds but do everything they can to show that the world is independent of the MC while still making the MC and the player by proxy belong in the world. Take out the story the world is like a skeleton. There is nothing here except a powerful budget. The side quest is practically identical to the original. Simple fetch quest, hunt missions or base raids, that involve very boring characters who are basically there to add time to the game.

    Story
    Building on the first one, the narrative continues Aloy's journey in the Horizon universe. I don't want to spoil anything because if were a fan of the first then you will enjoy the story this game offers. However, there are some glaring issues that haven't been addressed since the first game. The characters are very generic and no one in either the protagonist or the antagonist factions seem interesting. They all have simple motivations and the dialogue between character seem very uninspired. Expect to see a lot of dialogue and character interactions you see in C list movies. Despite the negatives I have said about the narrative, there are a few OBJECTIVE flaws in the game's story. The characters make sense in their motivations and ideologies, but do not go into this hoping to see a Scorsese masterpiece.

    Aloy
    She is a nice character albeit a bit generic at times. And generic is fine if your character can make the story enjoyable. Nathan Drake is a perfect example of this. Aloy has a personality that makes her feel like she is an in-depth human being but she is very much the generic character that she tries very hard not to be. Her biggest flaw is that while she is generic, she is also boring to watch. When she interacts with other characters, she seems like she is in a Disney channel show, where everything seems robotic. Despite being one of the few ginger MC, she lacks originality. In the original, her character arc was much more present in the story but in the sequel, it seems like she only belongs in the story because the devs made her the main character. She tries to make herself distinct from the other protagonists' faction characters but it never feels natural. Lost Judgement had the same obstacle with Yagami but they managed to clear it with ease, by using his morals and making sure that Yagami is the only one that can play his role in the narrative. For Aloy in Forbidden West, that distinction is never made and ultimately weakens her character responsibility in the story by dropping in the stakes both morally and literally.

    Overall 6/10
    If you like the original, you should get this game, you will most likely enjoy it. If you arent familiar with the franchise, it's best for you to try the original and then pick up the sequel if you like it. I think this game is very much overhyped but also very much overhated.    … Expand

I love it, the games on it are amazing and I look forward to many more in the future. However, horizon forbidden west is without a doubt one of the most boring and uninteresting games I have ever played. First of all, are we still seriously struggling to capture 60fps? We really have to downscale to 1800p just to play in 60fps or play in 4k while running at 30fps which isn’t any better. For a 2022 “next gen” game the fact that this game makes you sacrifice resolution for frame rate or vice versa is utterly laughable. Moving on, the story itself is boring with a lot of plot holes and the game leaves me with more questions rather than answers. The open world aspect is cool but when compared to its counterparts it still lacks in comparison. The visuals look stunning I’ll be it in 1800p. While the story, dialogue and open world are rather lack luster the one thing that forbidden west has going for it is it’s jaw dropping visuals. However, the fact that you can’t run this game at 4k 60fps….is a disappointment.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first installment of horizon really surprised me in so many ways. The story, characters and the overall look of it really made me fall in love with open-world single player genre of games together with GoD. So I was really looking forward to forbidden west and so far I’m enjoying the game a lot. As a person who really like to get to know the story and get to every corner of the world of horizon, there is a lot to attend. Just completed restoring GAIA yesterday and that’s just 1/3 of the map with a lot of stuff to still complete. When it comes to the game overall, I think they made a good improvement from the first game. On thing that caught my eye from the get go is the cinematics and dialog between the characters - the first game was good but I would say lagged a bit of nuance and emotion. In forbidden west it’s much more intense and full of emotions from there movement to there facial expression. The story so far is great and enjoyable, graphics is amazing and the game runs smoothly on my PS5 :) If I had some complaints to throw in here; I have stumbled upon a few cinematic glitches (nothing huge, but gave me a good laugh), one single notification bug in the collection part of the menu and I do have to say that the movement in tight spaces is a bit awkward sometimes. The same goes to some of the climbing movement, but again nothing really major. Overall I’m really positive about the game and it was a bit of fresh air from the terrible releases we have had so far this year (mainly looking at BF2042 and few other big titles). Big thump ups from one happy fan. Keep up the great work and I’m looking forward for what comes in the future of Horizon :)… Expand

    Yet another uninspired entry in the PlayStation catalogue. From a technical standpoint the game is good however the game itself is more of a reflection of the sorry state the industry is in. The game just feels like a lazy cash-grab that will appeal to the masses but does nothing to push the industry forward in a positive direction.

    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.
