    When we play games created by Sony studios there is no denying that they are games created with passion I can say how lucky I am to choose the Playstation platform, because only here we find magnificent games like Horizon Forbidden West

    A very enjoyable game , one of the most beautiful games i've played but the story is lacking. Fun game all in all though.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really love the Horizon franchise and Forbidden West delivered for me on many levels. One of the most notable differences for me was the huge change to character animations during cutscenes or whilst talking to NPC’s, making it feel a lot smoother. Gameplay stuck to it’s solid roots but added some new weapon types that are a lot of fun; my favourite being the shredder. The story was fantastic and I’m greatly looking forward to future DLC and sequels. Expand

    No doubt a great game, The story is interesting and the combat is consistently engaging, albeit sometimes a little janky with some encounters. The graphics are great, and the art design perfectly compliments the technical aspects.
    Where the game falters, though, is almost everything outside of the main story. For me, seeking 100% completion was tedious and ultimately not worth it.
    No doubt a great game, The story is interesting and the combat is consistently engaging, albeit sometimes a little janky with some encounters. The graphics are great, and the art design perfectly compliments the technical aspects.
    Where the game falters, though, is almost everything outside of the main story. For me, seeking 100% completion was tedious and ultimately not worth it. Specifically the Melee Pits and The Arena challenges. These combat experiences are incredibly annoying and seemed like an afterthought from the devs to just fill the open world with useless time consuming combat. The game would be perfectly fine without these features. I'd much rather developers make the main story longer and more expansive than add random filler combat experiences filled with encounters that aren't anything new.
    Some of the side quests are fun, but there are just too many and not enough variety in goals and missions.
    Ultimately the main issue for me comes to the open world game design that, despite developers best efforts, feels hollow. However I would certainly recommend the game to pretty much everyone, just maybe stray them away from grinding to 100%. Looking forward to the conclusion of Aloy's story and hopefully other games that develop the story and lore.

The combat is better than ever. The machines are still amongst the best enemies in a video game. The story is still intriguing. The worst thing though is the slow start. The slow start is what makes people view this game as another generic open world game. Which is a shame because this is far from the case. Once you get to the Poseidon and Demeter quest. It’s so incredibly hard to put down. It’s a shame that the horizon series have been overshadowed twice now. A lot of people only take on look at the game and pass judgment without delving deep into it. This game is well worth the purchase. Btw: if you are planning on playing this game enable auto pickups in the setting’s. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Horizon: Alloy's quest to get more titles than Daenerys

    I don't think I have ever both loved and hated a game like I did Forbidden West. At some points, it can be stunning and entertaining while sometimes so dull, boring and uninspired.

    Technically, there weren't many issues. Occasional bugged quest here, clipping there. Especially Alloy's braids. I swear those things are alive! Dialogues could use a bit of polish.

    Gameplay is pretty much the same as in HZD with few very nice QoL features like glider, stash and finally a frelling FLYING MOUNT. Melee combat got a bit of love with some eye candy combos but is still far inferior to ranged combat. Still no block. Why? New weapon types - some great, some not so great. Prompts (critical/silent strike...) were very inconsistent. New machine types were awesome.
    The world is beautiful with plenty of extra stuff to do/explore but the resource farming was a bit too much and the climbing is the ABSOLUTE WORST.

    Story is... meh. Too many plot holes, predictable. HZD made my eyes water (in a good way). HFW made my eyes roll. The last mission was very disappointing. It was basically just few Spectres, climbing, one fight against a single Zenith, climbing and then a fight against another Zenith in a Power Ranger morph of a machine very easy to beat (had more trouble fighting enemies like apex Thunderjaw/Stormbird). The majority of the final battle happened in the background.

    Characters? That's a big WTF from me. Characters is where "the message" comes in. BIG TIME. Cranked up to the 11^2. There's plethora of new characters and, without any exaggeration, 98% of them are either black or female (mostly both though). If I don't count badguys, a-holes or straight up morons there are only FOUR! white man characters with more than 2 lines of dialogue. One is Erend who was shamelessly reduced to a comic relief and mule who gets smacked around by a (female of course) vegan hippie. The other three are literal clowns... oh sorry... performers.
    Everywhere you go, every time you meet a new group or find a new settlement, a woman is the leader. Most of the quest givers are women and men are just the weaklings you need to go save in that quest. There are two enemy human factions. Guess who is leading both of them? A black women. During one of the ingame activities you start hearing about this tenakth called The Enduring. A legendary warrior who was never beaten and very few people earned the right to even challenge The Enduring. You obviously earn that right, you go to the challenge site and who is waiting for you there? A little scrawny old (no joke she's at least 60) woman who happens to be the toughest human enemy in the game (including Eric, the only Zenith you actually fight directly).
    I like Tomb Raid series. I consider HZD to be one of the best games. I always play a female character if the game allows me so no, I am not just another guy who hates powerful women. Forbidden West just took it way, WAY too far and for all the wrong reasons.
    The whole Utaru tribe also feels so out of place. I mean a vegan tribe? Come on...
    There is only one new character I liked - Kotallo.

    Still, HFW provides an enjoyable experience. I've finished it at 85% completion in 77 hours. It was a bit disappointing how easy getting platinum is though. Worth a playthrough? I'd say yes. Definitely yes if you can borrow it from a friend or get it at a discount.

    One of the best Open World games so far. Graphic is really mindblowing. Gameplay is also great, especially the combat. I also liked the riddle ruines. The Story is I would say ok, but not as good or groundbreaking as in part 1, but I expected this.

    They have "overdone" it a bit in my opinion with the amount of weapons, items and upgrade options. This was better balanced in part 1. But

    They have "overdone" it a bit in my opinion with the amount of weapons, items and upgrade options. This was better balanced in part 1. But lot's of Open world games have this problem of too much content. Maybe they fear people complain if it is to less, and rather add 3 new weapon categories than getting complains for "not enough gameplay"

    The story is I would say all in all ok, not as good as in part one, but It would have been nearly impossible to repeat this. Zero Dawn was great because the world was completely new. You had no idea what happened, and it was great to find all the clues so at the end you understand all of it. It would have been quite difficult to repeat this, and dangerous. If you give people a too different game, they may complain as well.

    Of course In Forbidden West they also added some "political correctness" stuff to the game, like it "must" be done now for every game now. I assume this is the reason for some bad reviews here. I'am also not a big fan of this. For this I would reduce the score at about 0.5 because of this. 0.3 for the story and 0.2 for too complex weapon system. So at the end it is still a 9/10.

    Now, waiting for the DLC.

    Кайфовый мир, шикарная визуализация. Но опять же совсем не то, особенно когда тебе навязывают феминистичный мир, Герой - женщина, Кузнец - женщина, Злодей - женщина, Программа - женщина, Сильнейший воин - женщина.

    Très sympa, même un peu mieux que le Zero Dawn. C’est jeu classique en ce qui concerne l’open World mais ça n’empêche qu’il est très beau niveau graphismes et détails. Une histoire un peu plus intéressante que le premier mais une fin moins épique (je trouve).

    One of the all time best games I’ve ever played. Amazing super in depth combat with many strategical angles to approach.. Some of the best graphics I’ve ever seen if not the best in some areas. Right from the beginning in photo mode zoomed in on a 2mm piece of moss in high def, incredible. Aloy can be SUPER DRY and biitchy which gets supeeer old.

Aloy can be SUPER DRY and biitchy which gets supeeer old. She has this high horse superiority complex that gets wildly annoying.. the side missions can be amazing and yet incredibly bland. But there is sooooooooo much to do. I have played 87 hours and still not finished. Enemy design is 100/100... collecting resources and upgrading is a pleasure. (Look up the glitch to infinite hop over the colleseum wall so you can dupe your entire inventory and upgrade all weapons) The CAULDRONS are insanely attractive... some of the best wall climbing and parkour you have ever played. The map is HUUUUUUGEEEE. Just waiting to get the sun bird so I can fly around!! Expand

Performance is where it falls too with the framerate dropping into the mid to low 20s, especially in dino fights where it can get really choppy. Audio is the best thing about the game which isn't saying much, and the game has way too many cutscenes you could make a movie out of them. Expand

    Best graphics i’ve seen on a game on PS5 so far and the setting is absolutely amazing. Gameplay is one of the best, fighting makes just so much fun. When you liked the first one, you will like this one, too.
    There are some minor weaknesses within the storytelling and the quests in my opinion, but overall it was a really good experience for me.

    No idea how they made a game that looks this gorgeous so tedious and stale. The crafting system is obnoxious, map traversal is unrewarding, none of the characters are memorable enough to care about, and the combat is monotonous. This game feels like a job in retail. After 50+ hours, I couldn't bring myself to continue and clicked uninstall. Massive disappointment.

    Praticamente igual o primeiro, porém com infinitos lugares a mais para escalar. Eu não entendo jogos AAA onde colocam uma infinidade de obstáculos de escalada e acham que isso é uma evolução ou algo do tipo, isso se torna chato com o tempo.
    Os cenários apesar de bonitos, se tornam um pouco confusos e "truncados" para se deslocar.

    The game looks AMAZING, but it gets lost with the details.
    Combat is just boring, stressful and tedious, when you are surrounded by enemies you have no idea where they are, furthermore with a system than is taking you to the ground every second, making the combat frustrating as hell. And with the humans a "predator" would be proud of them because you can't locate them if you don't use

    The story is just not interesting, as well as all of the characters that you meet in the entire game. Aloy acts with a moral superiority with everyone that makes the main character hateful.
    The game has a lot of glitches, puzzles and platforming, all of them are so tedious and a way to add extra time that are a big bunch of crap.
    The quantity of icons in the map are just crazy, bonfires to save the game every 100 steps.
    They picked all the bad stuff that Ubisoft's open world games have.
    Now I can compare HFW with Days Gone, and DG is much better than this.

    I had high expectations for Forbidden West. After Zero Dawn rose to be one of my all-time favorite games, I couldn't help but eagerly anticipate the sequel.

    I had high expectations for Forbidden West. After Zero Dawn rose to be one of my all-time favorite games, I couldn't help but eagerly anticipate the sequel.

    I wasn't let down in the least. In fact, Forbidden West surprised me by enthralling me even more than the first.

    The heart of why that is lies in how, in most every way, this second game improves on the first. The visuals are still more stunning. The machine designs remain striking, terrifying, and exciting to fight against.

    And, of course, we have the stash.

    Ah, the stash! How Aloy loved her stash before the patch that made her stop blabbing about it. (Though I'll admit to spouting those lines myself as I play along now!) Even more than telling such a poignant love story, the stash is just one of the many quality of life improvements for Forbidden West's seamless gameplay. I don't know how Guerilla read my mind, but they addressed just about every pain point I had in Zero Dawn!

    Another amazing thing about this game is its pacing. For me, it was perfect for most of the playthrough, weaving in new elements just when things are beginning to grow a little stale.

    The side quests also helped to keep things interesting. Though Zero Dawn's were often great, I found myself enjoying the variety and characters involved in those in Forbidden West even more.

    The game isn't without its faults. The bugs it suffered from especially at release were far more numerous than you'd want, and a good amount persist even to this writing.

    Additionally, its story doesn't quite reach the emotional highs of the first game, though it has plenty of peaks and troughs in its own right.

    Also, while I enjoyed Machine Strike during my first playthrough, I'm not sure I'll go back to it. It was the same way for me with Gwent in Witcher 3, however, that could just be a personal take!

    Finally, upon reflection, I didn't love the addition of all the gear Forbidden West included. It just became too much, and with its stats kept too vague. Give me some hard numbers and I'd be much more pleased!

    All that being said, Forbidden West will always keep a place in my heart if only for the reason that I was playing it and inspired by it while writing my book, The Last Ranger, whose protagonist was inspired by Aloy. Being able to play in this brilliant world served as not only a fun experience, but a great way to keep in the mind of a like character.

    Forbidden West takes it place in my top 3 games ever, if it doesn't snag first place outright. I'm over the moon excited for the DLC to release in less than a week!

    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.
