    Meh. Clunky, counter intuitive combat with a decent story. The first one was better. Playing it to the end was a slog.

    O jogo é muito bonito e colorido, tem bons gráficos mas é do mesmo jogo anteriro, as missoes são quase parecidas, tudo do mesmo fora os bugs que tem muitos, esperava algo bem melhor mas a Guerrilha ficou devendo um pouco, faltou mais ação.

    Played on PS4. While the game has a lot of improvements, and even on base consoles the graphics are beautiful, it does have some bad points.
    More weapon types are added just to be there in most cases, making handling equipment uneeded complex, also having to spend money upgrading an item just to find a better one just a minutes later.

    The story IS VER, VERY BAD. It is almost cartoonesche. It forces situations, and it seems like all men in the world are now incompetent and all women can do something right - you see, I want balance, equality. And it is not so discrete as in first one, but a constant slap in the face.
    Combat feels just off, you don't make much damage with melee and arrows, but the javelin does a lot, so why bother with the other ones?
    Those issues really make this a worse experience than the original, when you take the whole package, not only the new shiny graphics.    … Expand

    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.

    Game isn't bad. But it is definitely VERY underwhelming after all the hype that's been built up.

    Graphics on PS5 is quite nice. Not "Great" - "quite nice". Amount of colors and the ability of PS5 to load more objects at once helps towards achieving this goal. But after games like "Ghost of Tsushima", "Horizon" is definitely late to the party. Overall feel is more like a big DLC for    Game isn't bad.

    But after games like "Ghost of Tsushima", "Horizon" is definitely late to the party.

    Overall feel is more like a big DLC for the first game, with updated graphics and some new mechanics. It's like you are replaying a game already on your first run. Feels a bit boring.
    This is not what's been sold.

    Also, I personally don't like the way they changed the appearance of Aloy.
    The character does not click with me now. It feels like there's a massive body physique and face mismatch.
    She was not a beauty in the first game but it was fine. Now they pushed this even further and Aloy looks plain masculine.
    While you can still play the game, this made it harder for me to emerge.
    The character is neither a man (on whom I could project myself) nor a girl (whose image I'd connect with because I find her attractive).
    So you'd enjoy the game only if you can ignore the main character part altogether.

    I think that the hype is what made this a disappointing experience for me. It is sad as I have been waiting for this to come out for so long.    … Expand

    Gameplay is stale because there really isn't too much different from Horizon Zero Dawn. What really has me confused is how bad the in-game physics function. You can be climbing a wall and fall for no reason. You can perform a jump that looks as easy as pie and not catch the ledge. Its honestly more frustrating than words can describe.

    Graphically it looks pretty enough at first glance, but the game is riddled with graphical bugs that are SUPER distracting... some cutscenes have complete lighting changes that make no sense. I was outside in the environment at night, but the second you enter the cutscene its daytime? Other times random environment objects just flash through your screen for no reason. Half of the cut-scenes have NPCs walking through objects.

    At least I got the achievement to plant a tree IRL... that is pretty much my only positive takeaway from this game. Do not pay full price for this, especially until the devs patch some of these issues. The game honestly should have been delayed for more polish.    … Expand

Esta industria está tan mal que permiten cualquier estafa; juegos inacabados,En un mundo en el que la industria del videojuego es tan cancerígena por estar llevada por los niños rata que compran el CoD, FIFA o skin de Fortnite de turno, no podemos pedir mucho. Peor aún quiénes se compran una consola de nueva generación para "jugar" a dichas cosas sin probar los verdaderos videojuegos. Esta industria está tan mal que permiten cualquier estafa; juegos inacabados, pases de temporada, skins, otros micropagos, DLCs, etc. Incluso los mismos jugadores los piden (ya hay muchos que piden un DLC para el Pokémon Arceus, por ejemplo, cuando no lleva ni un solo mes a la venta. Por motivos como estos pasan cosas como las que pasan con este videojuego que voy a exponer en este análisis, pero resumiéndolo con una palabra, sería algo muy visto en estos tiempos que corren: INACABADO.
    Muchos análisis he visto por aquí poniendo un 8 o un 9 sin sentido por su historia y sus gráficos. Pero aquí voy a decir las cosas tal y como son, sin tapujos diciendo la verdad que no dicen en ningún análisis de la prensa internacional/nacional que he leído por Metacritic.
    El videojuego, como historia y gráficos es para un juego de 9-9,5, pero tiene muchas cosas que no se dicen...
    Es un juego que los propios desarrolladores han sacado a la venta sin ni siquiera haber probado su producto previamente. O, quizás sí lo hayan probado pero hayan decidido ponerlo a la venta sabiendo que cualquier cosa que se ponga encima con un tráiler épico y poco más va a ser, como mínimo, rentable.
    Como he dicho antes, el juego en cuanto a historia y gráficos tienen un 9-9,5, pero esto último tiene truco por así decirlo; el juego, a pesar de tener niebla en ciertas partes (lo cual le viene bien al juego), tiene unos errores imperdonables. Tiene un popping por cada zona en la que vas del juego tremendo. Y, aún no he dicho lo peor de todo; no hay cinematográfica en la que se vean objetos borrosos cuyas texturas se tengan que cargar durante el proceso de ellas, literalmente. Incluso en el vídeo introductorio al videojuego en el que explican los hechos del juego anterior (Horizon Zero Dawn) hay muchas texturas que cargan mientras se ven las cinematográficas. Por si fuera poco, también hay objetos que aparecen de la nada en cada una de ellas y que se cargan también durante el visionado de ellas. Cada una y todas de las cinematográficas tienen una carga tardía de elementos terrible. Incluso en el gameplay.
    A parte del enorme popping y los dos problemas comentados anteriormente, tiene una gran cantidad de bugs; NPCs que aparecen de la nada, Aloy (la protagonista) puede quedarse muchas veces con la mitad del cuerpo transpasando paredes, rocas, puertas, etc., zonas en las que no hay nada y no puedes pasar como si hubiera una pared invisible que tapase la zona y una iluminación/sombreado que se ve de una forma, das un paso más y se ve de una forma totalmente anterior. También hay enemigos que se vuelven invisibles durante el combate a pesar de que se pueda apreciar la silueta de ellos debido a los bordes de las líneas de dibujado y otros enemigos que desaparecen por unos segundos como si nada y te aparecen de golpe en la misma zona.
    Por si fuera poco, tiene muchísimos errores de sonido. Más de una vez he tirado flechas a enemigos y no se escucha ni en el momento de lanzarlas ni en el momento en el que choca contra los enemigos. Además, el juego está repleto de diálogos inacabados que se quedan cortados para empezar con otro nuevo durante todo el momento que controlas a Aloy, fuera de las cinematográficas. Hay incluso momentos en los que en el combate no se escucha absolutamente nada en el momento en el que destruye una máquina o cuando caen rocas/disparos también durante el combate. Por si fuera poco, he tenido ocasiones en las que Aloy se hacía daño durante el combate y el grito de daño venía con retardo o cuando haces la voltereta por el escenario y el ruido de ella también tenía retardo.
    Para colmo, he tenido unas 5-6 veces yendo por el mapa (bastante grande) en las que la pantalla se ha puesto de la nada totalmente en negro unos 3 segundos para cargar el resto del mapa. Esto mientras paseas tranquilamente explorando zonas nuevas.
    En resumen, un juego que habría sido de 9-9,5 si estuviera realmente acabado. Pero esto roza prácticamente lo injugable en muchas ocasiones. Uno puede pensar que es jugable porque se puede pasar de principio a fin, pero eso no justifica todo lo que he comentado durante todo el análisis, lo cual tienes que soportarlo en cada momento del juego.
    Pero claro, la gente dirá que hoy en día los juegos son tan grandes y tan complejos comparados a los de hace 20 años que es imposible lanzarlo sin errores... nada más y nada menos que lo que hay hoy en día; conformismo. Conformismo porque casi el 100% de los juegos vienen sin acabar y la gente gasta su dinero en él sin importarles nada. Y lo de este videojuego es un claro ejemplo.    … Expand

Flying is freaking awesome, well done on that one. Pretty big map as well which keeps the game very interesting. The skills system let you customize your play style which is very cool. Con's: A lot of bugs in the game, movement wise and with the visual animations for the resonator. Movement can be very tight. Camera FOV or a wider angle is needed in this game desperately. On the story: Every male in this game either needs to be saved by a woman or was saved by one(meaning in game characters, not Aloy). The story is basically a girl power flick. I also really dislike the whole "don't get the good armor until you've beaten the game twice" setup. I was hoping they didn't do that again like the first game.… Expand

    Secondary tasks are added as if absolutely for the sake of appearance and are of no interest. Together with a disgusting level design, in which the player's route is sometimes completely illogical.
    I liked the first part, but the second does not bring anything new and interesting, but rather the opposite, the new content, which was added as if for show, is more of an annoyance than an interest.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had high hopes for this game but it doesn't deliver. The people saying it's a masterpiece have never played an actual AAA game. It's beautiful, yes, absolutely polished. A polished turd. Not an open world as it claims, as you cannot go anywhere the developers don't want you to go. Aloy has become useless, and it's sad. She was amazing and now as a character she is limited. I guess Sony was bothered by a strong woman. What's frustrating is that at one point she can do everything, climb to the highest peak, and then you run into a small rock that a six year old could climb and she can't do it. Being forced to have to only use the yellow grab bars to climb like an old Nintendo game ruins the gameplay and gets extremely frustrating. An example would be the Restless Weald relic. You have to jump up to a rope that is blocked by the doorway and because she is so extremely limited it's impossible. Apparently Sony doesn't think women are smart enough to, yknow, reach. She has become a damsel in distress rather than the badass banger she was. This is very disappointing. A huge step backwards for Sony, who is clearly losing their edge as their getting wiped by Xbox. After this, I'm honestly not excited about anymore PS Exclusives. They just don't care anymore and just produce crap like LJN. I just hope some of these other "gamers" expand their library and play a properly developed game.… Expand

    I find this game as a large DLC with way too much talking. Game is way too open and just reminds me of any generic open world game. I did indeed love the first game, but to compared to it it just doesn't have the same magic in my opinion.

    The technical and artistic side did a good job on this game, outside of the costumes and human character designs which manage to be both boring and strikingly ugly at the same time.

I could detect no inspiration or artistry outside of a general "barbarian good!" ethos, and the silhouettes are largely the same bottom heavy, minimal waist, ugly hat theme from the first game. The gameplay is great, outside of the very floaty and unfortunately still amateurish melee system. This includes machine melee attacks with enormous hitboxes and no clear indication of the avoidance window/s. The weapons and upgrade system are noticeably more bloated and cumbersome as well. However, it's mainly the writing and acting, particularly for Aloy, that ruins this game for me. If you don't notice how bad it is I could see how you could really enjoy this game, but once I realized it there was no going back. Aloy mistakes volume for intensity, and since her character has no sense of humor she is almost always intense. Therefore no matter the circumstances, whether it be mourning a death, or scrambling down a hillside pursued by giant machines calling out instructions to some npc, she will speak just above a whisper to let you know she is very serious. I liked her a lot more in the first game, though she was by no means a great character then either. Aloy's responses and actions can be predicted to near certainly after you spend about 30 minutes with her. She will turn down help at every opportunity, since she's the only one on the planet capable of handling danger, and she will speak haughtily and condescendingly to those that ask for help or give advice. Putting aside Aloy's tragic lack of personality, her environmental dialogue, as well as that of any npcs that the game manages to foist on her despite her protests, becomes laughably banal very quick.

    Example: Oh look a locked door, I better explain out loud how necessary it is going to be to find a key so that I can open that door. Oh look, a key, I better say out loud that wow, now I can open that door. Oh look, I opened that door, better mention how I should go through that door now to reach the next area... etc. ad infinitum. In fact, the bizarrely hand-holdy nature of all these bits of dialogue was the only thing that caused me to laugh out loud in the game.

    The last thing I will mention is the pacing, and it's hard to think of a triple A example where it's done worse. There must have been 400 fetch quest writers for every person working on the main story. The tying of significant abilities to advancement of the rather short main plot while bombarding the player with side quests, many of which they can not complete until they unlock those abilities, feels extremely poorly timed and executed. I was shocked when near the end of the main quest line I unlocked an ability that vastly improved exploration, only for the game to end after basically the very next mission. I feel sorry for whoever put the work into that, since almost all my side quests were done and there was no reason at all to keep playing or exploring.

    Too bad. A phrase which literally and figuratively sums up this game on multiple levels. Glad I borrowed instead of bought, and I think I'll just watch a summary of the next one on YouTube since I do like the overall story concept. I put 86 hours into this hoping it would redeem itself, but that was not the case.    … Expand

Aloy often jumps on walls during fight and its very slow animation both up and down. Since on hardest its either 50% hp or instakill, if this happens you are dead. Another movement problem is mount. It gets constantly stuck on smallest bumps and since everything giving me IK mount is actually slower than walking because of really good chance that you will just get killed when you cant move for 20 sec. Why i do think game is not made for hardest difficulty is amount of grind you need. Health bars of machines are something. It became common thing for me that I just cant finish quest bc i just shot 100 expensive arrows to weak point I run out of ammo and machine is like nothing. That is very annoying since game makes you to grind in order to progress the story, because its not really about skill but about numbers. So you cant check how much hp enemies have that means you also have no idea if you are prepared enough. Now you have to grind, well not I have side quests right? You do but they are no different to grind maybe even worse. Constatly same premises "machine problem", "rescue" or "we need supplies". Dont get me wrong every rpg have this thing, problem is they cant make side characters interesting. They always just whine and ask you for help or they are arrogant and you prove them wrong. There is nothing interesting about them which is sad bc there is **** load of side quest. Maybe it changed later but after 15th side quest im just skipping scenes because scooby doo had more different stories than this side quests. Only thing I enjoyed is main story, plot is changing and kinda mysterious thats why i dont rate it as total garbage. Idk maybe if I put it on easy i would enojyed game since i could progress in main story which is only interesting and new thing compared to ZD but that's game fault.… Expand

I’m sick of enemies sliding and skidding all over the place because the try-hard demographic demands it. It looks stupid and it is not fun.

    Other issues I have: 1) climbing; I’d rather the game not have it if it’s going to be implemented in such a way. Seconds long animations to move a few pixels gets old instantly.
    2) collision: constantly getting stuck on collision geometry. Riding the metal dinosaurs isn’t even worth it 90% of the time because they will get stuck on everything. 3) Farming and upgrades: RNG padding as heck. I don’t need to say more.

    AAA games are all starting to feel the same and major fault lies in how games are balanced. Balance the same as any AAA game and it’s going to feel and play like any other AAA game. I want parameters to adjust game speed, timing windows, RNG mechanics, enemy health, and so on. I’ll balance this myself, since this industry is too lazy to do anything other than try-hard nonsense.    … Expand

There is no captivating feature to differentiate itself from the monotony that is modern RPGs. This game has 2 things going for it... it looks a lot better than the original (albeit with terrible and underperforming graphical settings), and the fluidity within combat seems to have been improved. There is nothing else to really talk about positively.

    The game is boring, the acting is awful, the characters look and talk like wooden planks, the optimization is awful, the story is nonsensical and was clearly written by anti-white feminists, there's glitches and bugs all over the place, the side quests are repetitive, and the soundtrack is mediocre to say the least.

    Let's call a spade a spade here and mention a few things:

    1. HFW was released in a broken/unpolished state, a state in which we, the gaming community, universally pan other releases for doing... Anthem, Fallout 76, Cyberpunk 2077, BF 2042, Dying Light 2, and deservedly so, because in modern gaming, the examples are endless... but somehow HFW gets a pass? Why? A female lead? A first party title? The “right message”?

    2. The bots brigading these ratings, in conjunction with deleted negative reviews, that are making this site become less and less reliable for honest criticism are inflating this score from where it should be... 2 days ago, this game was sitting at a 6.8 user score, and just yesterday, had around 3500 "positive" reviews and around 870 negative reviews... you are telling me that there has been 900 positive reviews and only 60 negative reviews overnight? (4368 & 926 respectively at time of writing) For a game that has a plethora of bugs and issues that are preventing people from even playing? Of course, there are bots on both sides, no denying, but just like TLOU2, it feels like this game is being protected from criticism.

    3. There is no heart and soul in this game. If anyone has played RPGs in the past 10 years, they will know that this is another copy of the same generic formula, question marks littered throughout the map with the same sort of encounters or loot, repetitive loot grinding to "craft" whatever nonsense to progress, a tool that is received later to have you backtrack and access "new" areas with the same loot, a perk tree that unlocks the same tiring abilities we have seen for years or increase whatever output by x%, dialogue options that do nothing, do these sound familiar? Artificial time wasting as popularized by modern Assassin's Creed.

    I am sorry to the Sony fans out there that are desperate for this game to be good because they are engaging in this pointless console war, but this game is terrible, and its prequel is middling at best. You have God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, & Ratchet & Clank RA, great games, which are vastly superior to this nonsense. HFW should be getting panned like CP 2077 & AC would, but alas, here we are with another awful RPG that slips under the radar because its too "important" to be criticized.

    RPGs almost always had that same, similar formula I mentioned before, the same perk/skill enhancements, areas of interest, and even bugs and glitches at launch, but what sets games like The Witcher, Fallout New Vegas, & Mass Effect apart from most of this modern garbage? Excellent writing and story-telling, well-designed characters, great voice acting, choices that matter, replay-ability, and creators that care about their product... HFW, and HZD for that matter, have none of this.

    This was more of a rant, rather than a review, but the truth needed to be said. We are losing great single player RPG games because of releases like this, and people need to stop buying these soulless IPs. Layers of pretty graphics covering a lifeless puddle of “content”.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just another sony 3rd person over the shoulder action adventure game with stealth elements. Completely and utterly bug ridden too - if interested it would be best to wait on a patch and deep sale. Not recommended!… Expand

    Es frustrante tanto error, la saga me gusta, pero esto es el colmo, como pudieron sacar el juego así, en fin sony lo arreglara, pero es decepcionante un estreno en estas condiciones.

    I didn't really like this game overall and I will explain why. First I will mention as a positive, the graphics are very good so if you want to show off your Playstation 5 maybe it's good for that.

    But as far as the game part, the character Aloy is very annoying. She's always talking to herself (really she's talking to you, the player). It's very dumb because 1) she talks casually as a monster literally 100 times her size is trying to kill her, even as she's running around on screen and talking like she's sitting in a chair and 2) she talks so much it's like the game thinks you are a dumb person unable to figure out how to play the game. It really breaks any kind of immersion they were going for with the game.

    My other main complaint cannot be understated, and that is Aloy's face. She looks like a potato. I don't know what is going on with the design of her face, because her body is fine but they put my 9th grade English teacher's head on a normal body. There's one scene where she's making all kinds of derpy faces as she's interacting with some sort of furry antifa looking group. I missed what was even going on with the story because of how distracting Aloy's face became.

    My recommendation if you haven't bought this yet, get it on sale or buy a used copy since it obviously sold very well so there are a lot of copies in circulation.    … Expand

    Most well-written stories exist and have their set and universe built around them. Thinking starwars, Lord of the rings, ect. Some time stories are written after a universe and setting are designed and the story compliments it. Thinking of Halo: Reach, and attack on titans.

    This game, just like the first is the ladder and designed its story to exist in a cool universe they concepted. The developers however refused to take any lessons learned from the lackluster story of the first game and expected the setting and senary to take care of everything. That is why killzone failed, that's why horizon isn't known for its story and this game doesn't change that. It is a beautiful game and the devs should be commended for it. But is there a particular reason to come back to this game or even finish it the first time after All the pretty graphics fade into the background? Not really. I had high hopes for zero dawn to be my Skyrim replacement but it didn't come close. This game fell even further.    … Expand

    I really liked Zero Dawn, bought the dlc and finished everything. I've put in 30h in Forbidden West and find it tremendously uninteresting and boring. Don't get me wrong, the game looks fantastic but the story is Ed Wood levels of bad and that is an insult to Plan 9 from Outer Space. The grind is super tedious and nearly all characters behave like complete morons. Climbing mechanics areI really liked Zero Dawn, bought the dlc and finished everything.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed Aloy’s first journey so much and I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one! However, while the map and sceneries were absolutely gorgeous, specially while flying around on a Sunwing. Unfortunately the story and characters failed to get me hooked like the first one did. The saddest part of the game was the ultimate message Guerrilla conveyed to the players which was obviously inspired by The Last of Us 2 and forced them to twist the story and ruin such a great game just like last of us 2 did. I'm afraid this is becoming a new trend and bad influence for players specially the younger generation. Sigh.… Expand

Очень плохое взаимодействие героини с окружающим миром, ощущение, что якобы открытый мир с постоянными ограничениями.Ужасное продолжение. 2 балла за красочные пейзажи.

    Meiner Meinung nach voll in die Länge gezogen
    Für die Spielmechanik 1 Punkt
    Für die Grafik 1 Punkt
    Die Story hat so krass keinen Spaß gehabt, dass jeder weitere Punkt unverdient wäre.

    C'est beau et.... bah c'est tout.
    Il y a des bugs. Je me suis retrouver plusieurs fois bloqué soit dans une roche???? soit dans arbre. Pareil pour les PNJ d'ailleurs. Il y a des scènes entrecouper d'écran tout noir qui dur 1 seconde environ. Dans une scène direct au début du jeu t'as Aloy qui se met à trembler/vibrer dans tout les sens. T'as des flèches qui disparaissent...

    Le scénario est très loin d'être au niveau du premier. Il y a plein d'incohérence, il y a des choses qui n'ont plus rien à voir avec le premier Horizon donc on se retrouve perdu dans l'histoire original car illogique avec le scénar du premier jeu.
    Plusieurs personnages n'ont pas grand intérêt sont même insipide. Aloy à eu son caractère complétement changer par rapport au premier sans aucune raison ou explication.
    Des tonnes et des tonnes de dialogue interminable sans intérêt aussi. Des petites cinématiques à foison sans intérêt encore.
    Le séquence de gaming sont plutôt simple et rien d'original. Enfin si peut être avec le grappin mais c'est pas instinctif et on sent vraiment que l'on a mit de poteau ou autre exprès pour utiliser le grappin. Ca fait pas naturel et dés que tu les voix tu sais que tu vas devoir utiliser le grappin. Je trouve ça moyen.
    C'est pas difficile et les séquence de pure gaming sont assez courte.
    L'IA es tau fraise avec des dino qui te vois même pas à 50cm quand t'es accroupie et des PNJ et dino qui te vois même pas avec ta tête qui dépasse 50 cm au dessus des herbes...
    La paravoile n'a grand intérêt à part en mettre plein les yeux.
    L'escalade c'est une honte, parce qu'on peut pas escalader partout et on doit en permanence mettre la vision pour savoir où on peut grimper. On peut grimper un mûr et 30cm plus loin la même paroi on peut pas????? v'là la logique.
    Il y a une tonne de brouillard où on a une profondeur de vision limité en fin de compte.
    En fin de compte HFW est moins bien en tout point par rapport à HZD. Seul les graphisme sont plus beau, mais je joue pas à un jeu pour simplement avoir de beau graphismes.
    On nous a vendu pendant des semaine avec des pub partout même dans le metro, le jeu avec des articles par milliers et en fin de compte je suis très déçu. Et je me demande si il avait pas eu ce tapage médiatique partout, avec des milliers d'article sur tout les sites, si le jeu aurait était aussi bien noté ou survendu.

    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.

The story is boring, characters are lifeless.. the way Aloy speaks is irritating, many of the cut scenes you will see her doing nothing while watching people get killed and destroyed until she decides to get involved, I mean this is a sequel she's supposed to be stronger andThe first hand was amazing.

It was enjoyable in places but wasn't the story the first had which is why I gave it a chance the first time. Its beautiful and you can tell a lot of work went into the graphics and cinematics and thats about where it stops. I won't be continuing in the future of most of these games made today, Its sad when you can pull up a twenty yr old game with crap graphics and controls and have a better experience gaming. And I don't really want to get into the game details to much just know it will disappoint a lot of RPG fans out there. I do like the weapon selection a little better this time around and I hope they have to plant a ton of trees.… Expand

    Scontato, facile da finire, non mi ha lasciato niente. Insignificante più del primo che già mi aveva annoiato e avevo capito già come sarebbe andato a finire dopo qualche ora. Niente, delusione totale. You can't just sell good graphics if the story and the gameplay are pathetic.

    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.
