Horizon Forbidden West Reviews
Horizon Forbidden West is a sequel that mostly relies on its great roots to hold itself up. It's bigger, has an enjoyable main story and thrilling combat, and adds a few new branches - brittle as they may be. It looks and sounds great, and some minor technical issues aside, is an adventure that's worth experiencing.
Forbidden West takes Horizon to the next stage of evolution, where we see a huge open world game full of content, fun moments of play and unforgettable characters.

Horizon Forbidden West is not only bigger, but much more detailed, much more enjoyable, much more memorable experience. If they made a movie, I'd watch it breathlessly!

Horizon Forbidden West is a continuation-business card. This is how worlds should develop and provide players with challenges on familiar terms.

If you loved Horizon Zero Dawn at the time, Forbidden West has enough arguments to leave you with your mouth open. Surely he will manage to hook you for several dozen hours and have you intrigued with everything he presents about his lore. Good work by Guerrilla Games, but there is potential for much more.

Horizon Forbidden West is a masterpiece. The foundation that Horizon Zero Dawn has laid is improved in every way, whether it's gameplay or story. We have amazing graphics, charismatic characters, an intriguing plot and an addictive, varied and challenging gameplay.

Overall, some minor technical nagging is the only thing that really holds back Horizon: Forbidden West back. It has a delightful protagonist, an engaging story, a wonderful setting, fun combat and exploration, and lovely visuals. I enjoyed just about every moment I spent with the game. If you were a fan of the original, then the sequel delivers on everything that it promises. Newcomers will likely want to finish Zero Dawn first, but as long as the idea of hunting robot dinosaurs with a bow and arrow sounds good, then two of the finest open-world games await you.
It builds on the success of the first game in a way that I am quite certain that those who loved Aloy and her first quest will find even more to love about this one.
Horizon: Forbidden West builds on the solid foundations of Zero Dawn and does not only expand them, but stabilizes them by fixing a number of unnecessary shortcomings of the first game. Fixing some annoying mechanics, reworking combat, exploring and side quests are some of the positive changes that will be appreciated especially by players who have found the open world of Zero Dawn boring.

A thrilling adventure in a fascinating world. It might follow the formula of other games, but it does so impeccably.

Despite minor technical issues that can be patched up, Horizon: Forbidden West's compelling narrative, a spectacular cast of characters, its impressive graphical feat, and superb combat will make your time worthwhile. Horizon: Forbidden West is simply a masterpiece, a game that a PS4 and PS5 owner should not miss.
Aloy's journey through the Forbidden West is a grand one complete with awe-inspiring environments as you take down new machines with an expanded arsenal. Although the story is lacking the personal touch of the first game, if you're looking for an action-filled adventure with thoroughly enjoyable gameplay then you certainly can't go wrong with Horizon Forbidden West.
Horizon: Forbidden West is a great PlayStation title. The gameplay and world grab your attention because the PS5 makes it gorgeous. Aloy’s journey shows her the power of people. Yet notable flaws keep this from reaching Horizon’s true ceiling. Forbidden West’s endgame hampers an otherwise good story. Melee combat improved, but not enough. Most importantly, these loadout possibilities are bland.
Vast in duration, with a pretty good narrative and a very entertaining combat system, Horizon Forbidden West is another excellent Sony game making its way to the PC market.
As with its predecessor, Horizon: Forbidden West surpasses the imagination for what is thought to be possible in a video game of its magnitude, and now, pedigree.
Anyone who enjoyed Zero Dawn will find something to enjoy in Horizon Forbidden West. It’s so much better than the original with a great story, well-integrated side content, and impressive enemy design. It doesn’t reinvent the open-world formula, but that’s not always a bad thing.
A great expansion for the already convincing main game. Only the story could have been a bit more exciting and twisty. But this is whining at a high level.

The more meaningful side quests as well as the new and returning weapons and enemies make for one excellent game. Yes, there are some technical aspects which could still be polished up, but overall Forbidden West is a fantastic experience.
Guerrilla brought us a workshop on how to make the ideal sequel, taking everything that needed improvement from the first game and adding new layers based on those same improvements. Aloy's journey continues to be memorable, setting the saga up for what seems to be the biggest and ultimate battle our favorite warrior has ever faced.

Horizon Forbidden West presented a huge vast world and a good story, it is one of the best Sony games in terms of visuals. Although there were some repetition, especially in the side tasks and activities, in addition to some technical problems, it was one of the games that we encourage to try because of its wonderful aspects.
