Sadly the game is riddled with bugs and glitches..lots of them! As for the game itself. Well I'd love to be able to rave about it as much as many reviewers have, but that would be lying. HFW gives you the exact same gameplay as HZD with a couple of added game mechanics and a few upgrades to the gaming experience. Unfortunately most of the major issues from HZD are also present in HFW: The terrible camera that allows foliage to come between the camera and your target, Arrows not making contact with enemies, the bow failing to shoot straight or not loading correctly. New improved climbing has been added but this just means more places for Aloy to climb, the actual climbing animations can be janky, unpredictable, and annoying. The main issue i have with HFW is the same one i had with HZD. The writing. The main story arc is fairly interesting but it is hampered by bland uninteresting characters, boring dialogue, generic tedious open world side quests and a ton of filler content. I enjoyed HZD despite it's issues and i have enjoyed HFW but it does little to escape the very typical open world tropes and with its mountain of bugs it is certainly not a 10 out of ten masterpiece...far from it.… Expand

    It has grown a bit larger since the first game. There are some features here that is great, and some that is not-so great.

    First off, the weapon and combat is packed with much more moves and weapon features. I do feel that it is quite OVER-whelming how much of it you are pushed on to learn. As of close combat, i just felt like mashing buttons all the time. Combat can also seem tedious at times, as machines constantly knocks you over where you spend copious amount of time getting up into the fight again, you find your self knocked over again as soon as you get up. Best tactics to me was the heavies bow you got and take em out from disctance.

    I think the map you running around on has been updated with much classier locations too. This time they added much more underwater levels to explore, and swimming can be tedious to do at times, but fluid and fun once you get the flow going. Just to take a dip in the ocean is a marvellous relaxing experience by itself.

    Story follows suit and continue on developing. I do feel Aloy has certain personality issues we are not told. The fact that she constantly narrates almost her every action what she does and what she is about to do can be annoying for your brain at times. She talks, suggests and seem to know every move where to go and what to do as she continuously feeds you hints all the time.
    The cut scenes are tiresome, long and in complete abundance trough out the game. I found myself just skipping most side quest dialogue and focused on the main story, to save me from watching the game rather than playing it too much.

    Controls are at the worst when climbing. I am getting the old Assassins Creed problem of jumping around where she should not jump. Miss calculations and often rage of not doing what i want her to do.
    On ground Aloy is fast and swift, but i kept on foot most of the time as riding machines felt stale, janky and hard to manoeuvre. Mind you, i did not try riding all machines as i write this since in this game you can learn to tame and ride pretty much every machine as you go. Which is cool.

    The first Horizon, i played after it had been out for some time. I would say it was by far the most stable and Bug free game i had played in recent times. But in this game, the bugs can come and go. It is almost unavoidable to not have bugs in the games today which are so complex compared to the old days. I had severe dialogue audio drop out many many times, and falling trough the infinity due to missing land textures (Especially when you exited trough GAIAs chamber).

    Still i think Forbidden West is a great time spender. Beautiful visually. Great maps. But as usual, the standard fare of find, and collect repeat and rinse for a trophy or whatever, but not so severe as formulaic made open world games. Game does not break new grounds, both in Open World concept or being a sequel in its own domain. Its worth the purchase.    … Expand

Not to mention they don't really have any real ability to criticize this game. Give it up Xbox fanboys y'all are losers and you're just jealous bc no one plays Halo anymore get ovet it.

    The bad:
    It has many Pop-Up errors (even with the corrective patch), they abuse the fog effect to hide this sudden appearance of things. The mist effect is even carried into the water. The drawing distance is painful a few steps away from seeing well but as you try to see one further the background blurs. The programming tricks to hide shortcomings are very noticeable, the Alloy character is a render superimposed on a pre-rendered background (like Donkey Kong from the SNES or FFVII from PSX) for this reason there is no visual contact between characters and it is seen that the characters they skate on the stage or move like sprites (like Paper Mario) on a 3D background. The character, being a Sprite, does not correspond to the animations of hair loss or movements of the accessories or necklaces, making them look very fake. The character, being a Sprite, does not have believable lighting even against the light, Alloy's face is bright and shiny, the character is not there, it is a very cheap trick. The plants move so much that it seems that they are dancing, but nothing else moves, not even the houses, the fabric sails, the accessories and plumes. The story is very generic and the missions, these are generic. Yes, Alloy has a hook but of so many characters that have one it already looks like a bad skin of Nate Spencer (Bionic Commando), Rico Rodriguez (Just Cause) or Master Chief (Halo Infinite)

    Lo Meh:
    The Forbidden Horizon West is sooo polluted with a lot of smoke, fog and dust… They were told, that the Horizon Forbidden West Preview Promo Video was a CGI movie not a game, but no one wanted to believe it.    … Expand

My job now is to gear up and push further into the FW. Food? Doesn’t matter. Dying? Doesn’t matter. Invisible walls? Oh yeah.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like to start with the negatives first:

    Cons:
    Alright, i'm ready for the pitchforks to come in. I want to start by saying that I absolutely love this game so far, i'd say i'm about halfway through it. That being said, I do have a number of problems with it.

    First off, something that can probably be fixed with a patch, is that when trying to enter one of the melee pits in a major city, the screen goes black and you have to exit out of the game a re-load it. Even then, theres no way to complete it as of right now which means the platinum trophy at least for me, is unobtainable.

    Secondly, another thing that could improve with patches, is that there have been several instances where I have gotten "stuck" in the ground. Twice its happened while fast traveling, another time I was under water and I warped half into the ground, half out and almost died. Had to use a fast travel scroll and run all the way back to where I was. There are a couple more too that I cant recall exactly, again, ill remove this once the patches start rolling.

    Lastly and the thing that led to my score out of 10, is the difficulty scaling. Like I said, I would assume im about halfway through the game at level 25 as of writing this review, and playing on the "Normal" difficulty setting. I would say that I am one to love a good challenge. I really like playing the Soulsborne series which is known for their difficulty, and ive finished almost all of them, but rarely in those games do I ever feel that things arent fair. In this game however, I get that quite often. Enemies adjust jumps mid way through the attack, most enemies have some kind of sweeping attack that is unavoidable unless you are a good distance away from them, most enemies have some kind of ranged attack that blankets an area, etc. Which brings me to the poor excuse for a dodge roll. In Horizon ZD, there was a set of skills that could improve your survivability by doing longer dodge rolls, and other things that made it seem like Aloy was a skilled badass hunter at the top of the food chain. In this game, it feels like youre the slowest, least nimble thing in the wild, and theres nothing you can do to improve it, not even a block mechanic. All of this normally wouldnt be too big of an issue, however it becomes an issue in an open world game that is supposed to be about exploration, questing, discovering new things. I had about 15 minutes to play this morning before work and I came across several groups of roaming apex machines. Not even close to being properly equipped to handle them. Maybe i'm doing something wrong? I have no clue. Like I said though, im no stranger to difficult games.

    Pros:

    The game is absolutely beautiful on PS5. Im a bit of a fps snob but I cant pull myself to go out of resolution mode because of how amazing it looks. Melee combat is much improved and exciting compared to the last installment, and the PUZZLES!! I love the relic ruins and pretty much anything to do with platforming. I will give a tip though. I went into custom HUD settings and turned on "Interactive Object Display" to "Always on." That was I dont have to keep mashing R3 to find things in the world like machine drops and loot chests. Makes the QOL sooo much better and smooth.    … Expand

    Bad : Shut up Aloy, Weird disconnect with the combat/hitboxes, niggling bugs not ironed-out, soulless npcs nobody cares about.

    Overall : Visual style over gameplay substance but still worth playing (at least until Elden Ring comes out).

    It's more of the same style over substance with HFW. The cast of characters all look like castoffs from the 90s show Tribe and the different tribes are all barely-distinguishable hippies in dayglo facepaint. The story is godawful and you will find yourself skipping through it because you just do not care about facepainted npc #9002. The world is stunningly beautiful to look at but poorly-designed (think AC Odyssey). A lot of it is irrelevant wilderness. An open world game can feel vast even if it doesnt have hundreds of miles of world. HFW feels like a lot of copypasted textures and areas. The combat sorely needs a lock on. Whether owing to bugs or poor design you will often find yourself getting one-shot by things not appearing on screen/appearing too late or too early. The hitboxes are all over the place. The biggest stumbling block and the worst offender is Aloy (chubby face aside). Where once she was endearing now she is a nagging tutorial bore. She is constantly, constantly, constantly, constantly quipping. You will audibly tell her to shut up and you will do it into the double digits. There are times where you are not even afforded the chance to solve a basic Zelda 'shoot-the-glowy-thing' puzzle without Aloy straight up telling you what to do. This game treats you like a dribbling moron. And this is with the accessibility options turned off. You cannot take in the beauty of this game without wishing its protagonist would shut up. If you pick up a rock she quips. If you pick up a plant she quips. If you take longer than 5seconds to solve a puzzle she quips and tells you what to do. This makes the game a tour. And it sucks. Because it could be a GOTY contender if Aloy were quieter and made to fit into the games world more. There is an odd disconnect at times and she will clip through things. This game is another case of 'look at the pretty graphics! never mind the glitchy gameplay!'.    … Expand

This game is a step backwards from zero dawn…. Graphics are seriously almost identical. Character movement has gone significantly backwards. It is amazing how much I get stuck on a platform or the pathing is just awful. Get stuck on a ledge and for some reason can not jump. Feels like I don’t have control of Alloy way to much. Is it an awful game? No. It just a very average game that I would rank as a step backwards for the gaming industry, instead of what I was expecting to be a true showcase for what the ps5 era would be.… Expand

    JUGABILIDAD:
    Yo amé H:ZD, para mí fue de lo mejor y más divertido en la generación anterior, y H:FW se siente, de manera inicial, bastante continuista respecto al primer título. Lo anterior no es malo, en absoluto, pero siempre es bueno el tener algún tipo de avance.
    Y lo tenemos.

    El árbol de habilidades, por ejemplo, es mucho más amplio. Los efectos de la comida, que aunque ya se han visto en cientos de juegos me gustó tenerlos por acá.
    Tenemos un HUD que es menos intrusivo (y lo prefiero así), y que con un ligero desliz en el touchpad podemos obtener información extra sin necesidad de abrir el menú.
    Tenemos una cantidad BRUTAL de maquinas a las que enfrentarnos, cada una con variaciones muy notables dentro de sí misma.

    Las bondades del Playstation 5 también son muy notorias: las pantallas de carga están básicamente por costumbre, ya que duran… menos de un segundo, y hacen del viaje rápido algo muy ameno. Y esa vibración tan precisa en el Dualsense, combinada con el uso de los gatillos, es excelente en inmersión.

    La historia principal sí queda por debajo del primer titulo (y tampoco está tan bien contada), aunque tiene una conclusión prometedora.

    Por lo demás, muchísimo contenido: misiones principales y secundarias, mandados, terrenos de caza, campamentos, contratos, carreras, fosos, ruinas, cajas negras. Uff. Es... demasiado. Un tanto abrumador y cansino de seguir con todo. Aunque tampoco es precisamente malo el tener opciones, sí me hubiera gustado una narrativa un poco mas centrada.
    El mini juego de asalto me gustó bastante, aunque o no termino de entenderlo, o tiene algunas fallas en la jugabilidad/inteligencia artificial (de pronto las únicas jugadas del oponente son huir de ti, y esto no es ajedrez, no tengo intención de pasar 1 hora metido en un minijuego)

    ¿Los Calderos? siguen siendo aburridisimos.

    GRÁFICOS:
    Cuando leí las primeras impresiones respecto al apartado visual del juego, me parecían bastante exageradas. No lo son, visualmente (tanto gráficos como dirección de arte) son increíbles.

    Es difícil discernir las cinemáticas del juego en sí, y las expresiones faciales están en otro nivel.
    A lo largo del juego veremos partículas, reflejos del sol, polvo, cenizas, flores que llenan la pantalla. Y es un espectáculo hermoso y muy acorde con la ambientación.
    Si le sumamos los diferentes diseños de vestuario y colonias de las diferentes tribus, y la cantidad, diseño y detalle de las maquinas (sin mencionar la flora y fauna), queda claro que la calidad cinematográfica de Playstation es palpable, y nos emociona a niveles poco antes vistos.

    No se engañen: Forbidden West pasará a la historia como un referente gráfico de la actual generación.

    SONIDO:
    El soundtrack es buen, aunque yo recuerdo que su predecesor me emocionaba aún más.
    El doblaje, eso sí, es excelso. Sony sigue insuperable en ese ámbito.

    INNOVACIÓN:
    Como ya mencioné, agrega muchísimo contenido respecto a ZD, también mejora varios aspectos como el combate y la variedad de enemigos. No me parece que aporte mucho al género en sí mismo.

    I finished the game on ps5 and overall I did enjoy it though it wasn't perfect. The graphics and gameplay are great and there is so much content in the game which is great value. I thought the story and side quests were all pretty boring.

    I wouldve liked to give Horizon FW a higher score but sadly the bugs and glitches are ruining the game. The graphics are flawless but the gameplay seems just the same from the original nothing new. Aloy seems more annoying thou than ever before and the shape of her face looks weird despite having a great physique and enemy AIs are clunky

Guerrila did an amazing job improving basically everything from Horizon Zero Dawn. Graphics are at the top or any game out there.

    Pros:
    - Best graphics in 2022.
    - Beautiful open world with amazing and varied environments.
    - Everything is improved from Horizon Zero Dawn, literally everything.
    - All characters, NPCs included are motion capped. It's crazy!
    - Story had very interesting twists!
    - Varied amount of weapons & armors that allow different playstyles.

    Cons:
    - This game favors more exploration than combat. You can spend literally 1 hour on a quest cause this game is filled with puzzles. This can make the game very tedious.
    - Several bugs & crashes.
    - It is true, the excesive use of fog to hide pop in is really annoying. This could be cause of PS4 not being able to render the game as fats as the PS5.
    - Several stuttering in Performance mode.

    The game is definetly a 9, however, the game came out with a lot bugs, crashes and areas of improvement for Performance mode, so I'm taking 1 point because of that.

    I hope we get a sequel to continue this VERY interesting story and focusing a little bit more on combat than exploration. Anyway, PS is still killing it with amazing experiences!    … Expand

Selon le "dino" on doit aussi appréhender le combat ce qui apporte un peu de diversité même si ça reste minime sur l'influence du gameplay. Pour les humains ça reste assez basique, j'y reviendrais. Le truc kiffant c'est la paravoile, ok c'est totalement du BOTW, mais avec cest paysage c'est jouissif. Tout comme pouvoir monter sur les "dino", quel plaisir.
    Pour la musique rien à redire c'est super. C'est envoutant, c'est très bien composé et donne à certains moment un gros plus dans l'ambiance d'une scène. De même pour les sons d'ambiances qui sont très bien fait. Félicitations aux sound designer.
    La dualsense je suis pas fan de toutes ces options alors j'aurai un avis neutre.
    Pour le scénario je peux pas vraiment donner de bon point et c'est là que commence mes point négatifs sur le jeu. Le scénario est bien en deçà du premier. Les premières heures sont très longues et on se demande quand va vraiment débuter l'histoire. Aloy n'a plus du tout le même caractère, elle qui était empathique, elle est devenu antipathique sans explication et la plus grosse incompréhension c'est qu'après plusieurs heures d'histoire, hop elle redevient empathique sans raison. C'est récurant sur plusieurs moment où on a des incohérences scénaristiques comme (sans spoiler) après 4h de jeu environ il y a une scène qui est complétement balayé au 3/4 de l'histoire comme si elle n'avait jamais existé en disant l'absolue contraire de ce qui avait été dit. L'histoire en elle même n'est pas vraiment intéressante et certainement dépassé par la très bonne histoire du premier volet ne sachant pas comment amener l'histoire de ce volet-ci. Les scènes émouvantes sont placées aux forceps. Pour les dialogues la moitié sert à rien avec des cut scene récurrentes ce qui devient énervant.
    Il y a des bugs de collision qui sont vraiment énervant, comme lorsqu'un ennemi se bloque dans un tronc et qui a pour effet qu'il devient invincible ou un dino à ses pattes qui traverse la texture d'un petit pont/passerelle et reste bloquer à courir dans le "vide".
    Le gameplay est un peu redondant, même si il y a eu des effort, malheureusement après plusieurs heures on a l'impression de faire toujours les mêmes combats. En corps à corps par exemple suffit juste de faire des pirouette très souvent pour prendre quasi aucun dégâts et d'enchainer de suite avec un coup. A distance suffit juste d'utiliser la capacité ralentit et même le grappin permet de rendre les combats bien plus simple, je trouve que c'est un peu trop facile.
    D'ailleurs une autre chose sur le gameplay c'est les aides qui sont un peu présente partout comme par exemple, le ralenti, la vision, les cibles, les marques jaunes pour te dire que tu peux grimper. Grimpe d'ailleurs très limité car en fin de compte tu peux pas grimper partout. On peut grimper une falaise mais 2 mètres plus loin on peut pas. On peut grimper un rocher lisse mais pas un mur en pierre. Obligé d'utiliser la vision qui permet de voir où on peut grimper ce qui est énervant car il faut l'utiliser souvent. Et ça mène à un autre problème, le fait que plein de zones ne sont pas accessible. Le jeu n'est pas un vrai monde ouvert et créer une certaine frustration. De même le craft est pas du tout intéressant.
    Concernant la technique c'est plutôt propre même si les cheveux qui traverse l'armure ou l'arc quand il est sur le dos, la heatbox qui est pas très précise, des décors qui disparaissent comme par magie lorsqu'ils sont détruit. Le mode performance n'est pas au point avec de l'aliasing et du motion blur bien trop visible. Le mode qualité a quelque baisses de frame.
    L'IA est un peu limité. Les dino te voient pas quand tu es accroupi même à quelques centimètres de leur profil. Les humains à 5 mètres, ils te voient pas. Parce que je suis accroupi. Etre accroupi c'est limite magique.
    C'est un TPS narratif et donc quand le scénar n'est pas au niveau ce genre de jeu, je me dois d'être critique sur ce point.
    Ok le jeu est beau, le séquence de gaming sont plaisantes même si quelques défauts, il y a un vrai plaisir comme la paravoile, mais à coté de ça le scénar a des incohérences, histoire pas prenante, difficulté pas vraiment là, limité dans la liberté de choix et de scaling, techniquement parfois des faiblesses et certains éléments de gamedsign comme l'escalade sont pas bonne.
    Il subit trop la comparaison avec le premier qui était meilleur scénaristiquement et aussi d'autres jeux du même genre qui proposent mieux avec game design bien plus aboutit et assumer. Donc honnêtement je peux pas donner une meilleure note que le premier volet et alors que j'ai plus apprécié des jeux du même genre.    … Expand

How did a very small population make the stone slabs for the paint to go on. And WHY

    It seems they went with “looks cool” over “belivable” (bUT iTs FanTaSY) I like a cool set piece yea but well thought out fully realized worlds are what really make fantasy thrive. A big set piece like the mines of Moria Are hard to believe but have thousands of years of work and dwarves behind them. The rave color painted stone structures attached to rocks in H:FW haven’t really got the history. 1 the people would have needed to attach the carved rock slabs to the boulders. something that humans today would struggle with. Second most difficult would be the paints. Where are the sky people getting their paints from? Where are those who develops them? I thought that blaze or some other machine fluid could be a good explanation for how they get them bright, but I’ve not seen turquoise blaze yet.


    I am also not convinced that a people as dependent as the singing nitwits at plainsong could actually generate the structures they lived in.

    And speaking of the singing nitwits. Aloy has become supremely unlikable. I loved her in the first one but here she comes off cocky, selfish and demanding of others and other cultures. I don’t feel a drop of character development or personality besides “savior” and “warrior”

Bello graficamente avrei preferito una caratterizzazione dei personaggi di Burning Shores diversamente la narrativa pero rimane bella. Sono bravi Guerrilla Games hanno talento sfruttano il miglior motore grafico e i gameplay molto divertenti però devono fare i personaggi più carismatici.… Expand

    Always amazed by the environment they build and story is phenomenal!! Exploring the open world is so addictive, side quests also more enjoyable than previous game HZD!!

    Overall enjoyed really well, don’t want to complete the final mission!!

    This game is also one of the reason I want PS5.

    This is the kinda game you’ll love, if you like Hollywood movies or you’re not necessarily craving anything new.
    It’s pretty much the exact same game as the original, but with some upgrades to graphics and gameplay. If you don’t expect anything but more Horizon, you’ll be happy with the game; but if you’re looking for something you haven’t seen before, you’re not gonna find it here (or in    This is the kinda game you’ll love, if you like Hollywood movies or you’re not necessarily craving anything new.

    Amazing game! One thing I really love about this game is side quest and camera work in cutscenes is much better than Zero down. Overall amazing game.

    Very pretty eye candy, but it doesn't do much to build on the original sadly.

    Overall not a horrible game, but buggy. A bit uninspiring and unimpressive in story. Takes a bit for the world to open up, which melts away excitement at the onset. Graphically challenged.

Graphically challenged. There’s no Ray traced effects, the lighting is sloppy and flickers in some places. A slew of graphical anomalies really break any chance at an immersive experience. Over sharpening is prevalent, which gives textures an off putting look. Performance mode looks just awful on a 4k monitor, and resolution mode is obviously dynamic and balance is lost in heavier loads and detail takes a hit.

    A few issues such as moving grass tiles due to weird loading patterns. Atleast 2 spots where you can fall through the ground (that I know of). Poor collision physics with certain items and vegetation. Odd distortion in some NPCs. Pop in of large objects like buildings that seem to magically appear out of thin air. Aloy’s eyes tend to go rogue, looking everywhere but the intended direction and at times roll into the back of her head. Character movement of expression is wonky in dialogue scenes. Game can encounter several types of crashes, some requiring a game reboot, with others completely disabling your PS5 all together and requiring troubleshooting or a hard reset.

    Had to stop playing, as the experience was not enjoyable, immersion is broken, and bugs concern me that it could potentially brick my hardware.    … Expand

    El juego no dista mucho de la primer entrega, los combates son repetitivos y algunas mecanicas sumamente toscas. El efecto de la niebla no me molesta pero el popping de a momentos arruina la experiencia. Si no te gustó la primera entrega o se te hizo aburrida esta es más de lo mismo

    A beautiful game with a great world. Side content is Witcher 3 Wild Hunt level good. Unfortunately returning from the 1st game, is a traversal system that makes the game overwhelmingly frustrating at times, ruining the experience.

Até o combate em que havia certa estratégia no primeiro game foi perdido no segundo, o gráfico do DLC Frozen Wilds ficou muito melhor que deste segundo game. Sinceramente não recomendo porém jogar é uma experiência muito pessoal.… Expand

    Extremely beautiful game but the story, missions and side quests are lacking depth and engagement. Overall the game feels more like a large expansion to the first entry with little new mechanics or features.

    As a PS5 first-party game, the graphic performance is stunning and astounding, especially the vegetation effects are very quality and detailed. However, the sandbox world experience is a kind of stale, and there is not much breakthrough.

    The game is really pretty at times but the gameplay is just alright. The world isn’t really as free as it looks. There’s invisible walls and only certain places where your grapple works. Kills the immersion for me. Plus the game seems a bit unpolished on the technical side. Looks pretty but I’ve ran into a few bugs. It’s not all bad, but disappointing.

    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.
