Critic Reviews for Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores

A couple of poor boss battles aside, Burning Shores is a great new chapter with enough creative new bells and whistles to keep Horizon fans more than happy.

An exceptionally pretty slice of DLC that does nothing to address the faults of the main game but does manage to emphasise its many successes, especially the graphics.

Burning Shores is an entertaining epilogue for Aloy’s sophomore outing. It’s more Forbidden West with a few cool wrinkles, meaning it’s a good reminder of the things that the game did right while retaining a few old headaches (like the hand-holding during puzzles). More than anything, Aloy’s trip to Hollywood justifies its existence by meaningfully building upon the base game’s story, paving a solid runway for the next title to take off.

Aloy returns to explore the wreckage of Los Angeles, and it's just the right amount of Horizon to scratch that itch.

Impressive efforts with a few noticeable problems holding them back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash.

Burning Shores is exactly what you would expect, with even more of that solid Horizon gameplay wrapped around a story that initially seems quite frivolous but soon becomes very dark and uncomfortable. If you loved Horizon Forbidden West, you will love this too.

Burning Shores is a great expansion that you will love if you liked Horizon Forbidden West and that serves as a preview of what they are capable of doing in Guerrila Games when they work exclusively for PS5. After this, we are even more eager to know what the future holds for Aloy.

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores is a great DLC thanks to an excellent longevity and a good amount of additions, although I would have expected more from the exploration of the new map.
