    10/10

    Played this game now 50houers and its crazy good. Its one of the best games ever made.

    • Graphics 10/10. Its beaiscally the most beautifull game ever made. No discussion.


    • Story in Horrizon 1 was a 8/10 storywize and this one till now is been insane. 9/10. Cant wait to see more.


    • Gameplay is a 10/10.


    You are free to do whatever u want in this game. Do the main quest or just explore and do other quests of just farm. I myself do a combiantion of everything. Mainquest, explore, do sidequests, some puzzles or just boardgames or trials. This game has everything.

    Whoever doesnt like this game is a boring person that dosent know better. You dont deserve to play this game cause this is a MASTERPIECE.

    A good game that i just didn't really enjoy as much as zero dawn.

    Let's be very clear here, H:FW is a very beautiful game, the landscape is amazing, the character animations are great, and i could not point to something in the game that was at odds with itself (everything was coherent and made sense in the Horizon World).

    So why did i not enjoy the game as much ? Well for starters the new "mechanics" The Stamina Bar that apparently lets you run and glide forever but is immediately empty when you draw your bow to the end. Then we have the "valor" system, which in my opinion is just useless, yes you can switch valors but to be honest i don't see that every happening, you will choose one, and maybe switch to one other later, but otherwise not touch it. The new gliding and swimming mechanics are OK, but did not really add much to me as they seem more of a gimmick than something you would use outside the quests that require you to.

    The Game has a lot , and i mean a lot! Of "conversations" , for me i would say probably already too much. The Voice actors do an amazing job in the game and i mean in no way to say they didn't , its just a bit much. Especially the level of "backseat-gaming" you Companions do when they are around while you fight is bordering on absurdity, i myself found myself wishing i could just strike them down to make them shut up.

    Another thing i personally did not like was the amount of help you get on where to go , or how to solve certain riddles. It made me wonder if this game is targeted at 10 year old that need everything brightly lit up (the climbing walls) or solved for them.

    Sadly the biggest letdown for me was the Story, i am not saying it was a bad story, it just did not resonate with me.

    Overall i would say the game is definitely worth playing.

    Worth every drop of hype

    Holy heck. This game is STUNNING. Easily the most beautiful looking game I've ever played. Brilliant story, well written and intriguing characters, challenging combat, tons of side activities, easy and fun to get lost just exploring/hunting, and just purely phenomenal. Aloy's return is glorious.

    A Fantastic Sequel Expands The Lore Of Horizon

    Played Horizon: Forbidden West very excellent game also great graphics and voice work By Ashly Burch (Marvels's Avengers, Valorant) as Aloy, John Macmillian(Amenisia: Rebirth) as Varl, John Hopkins(Hitman 3) as Erend, Noshir Dalal(Star Wars: The Bad Batch) as Kotallo, Erica Luttrell(Westworld)as Zo, Freya Parker(The Void) as Talanah, Alison Jaye(Shameless) as Alva, Lance Reddick(John Wick Chapter 3:Parabelleum) as Sylens, Lesley Ewen(Arrow) as GAIA, Stefan Ashton Frank(Cyberpunk 2077 ) as HAEPHESTUS, Geno Segers(Yellowstone) as Chief Hekarro, Marc Kudisch(Mindhunter) as Erik Visser, Dan Donohue(Star Wars: Battlefront II) as Gerard Bieri/POSEIDON, Angela Bassett(Mission: Impossible-Fallout) As Regalla, Josh Keaton(Voltron) as Sun-King Avad And Carrie Anne-Moss(The Matrix, Mass Effect Trilogy ) as Tilda Van de Meer.

    My personal 2022 GOTY while I understand it criticisms it tackles themes of AI, Colonialism, Loyalty, Extinction, and Family also improves on mechanics and adds more mechanics as well expands Aloys journey as well the story as well being Inclusive also Carrie Anne Moss like her Matrix Keanu Reeves Co-Star Plays a character Tilda much Like Johnny Silverhand you can't entirely trust ironically.

    Great Music By Joe Hensen(Black Death) & Julie Elven(World Of Warcraft: Legion) Ben McCaw(Middle-Earth; Shadow Of War) and Direction from Mathjs De Jonge(Killzone 2) A Fantastic Sequel Expands The Lore Of Horizon 10/10.

    Absolute Masterpiece

    Absolute Masterpiece of storytelling, gameplay and graphics! As a big fan of the first HZD game and the stellar actually very possible story of mankind I was worried how the development team would translate and link the story into the second game. Now after couple of hours into it I absolutely can tell you they did another masterpiece of game and story here. Well done Guerrilla and Sony! Absolute must have and play for this season. And let the non-gamers be jealous they will never experience this kind of story and graphics pleasure.
