Horizon Zero Dawn Reviews
Horizon: Zero Dawn is a stellar open world game. Guerrilla has crafted a magnificent and utterly gorgeous adventure game with surprising depth that rewards player skill and will more than likely prove to be PS4's next major action franchise. It's just a shame the game's open world is so desperate to validate its own existence that it never lets you truly enjoy the thrill of the hunt.
Horizon Zero Dawn is one of the most entertaining open world games I have played in a while. It's a truly creative take in an otherwise saturated genre.
Guerilla's open world debut offers great gameplay, is huge and looks fantastic. A must-buy for PS4 owners.

Guerrilla Games did it! Horizon: Zero Dawn is one of the best Open-World of this generation. It's a wonderful Action-RPG set in a vast and unforgettable universe, with a solid (but conventional) plot and - most of all - a challenging gameplay.

The Guerrilla team could easily be called the "European Naughty Dog". If you look for a clever, gorgeous and immersive adventure, Horizon has what it takes to become one of the greatest game of this generation !

Through its stunning world, thrilling combat, and heartwarming story, Horizon Zero Dawn is bound to be one of this year's most memorable games.
For all the hype that's been extended to Horizon: Zero Dawn, it hasn't managed to fully deliver.
There is much beauty to see in the game's world—such incredible vision and craft exercised in its conception—but it's subservient to a poor story, lackluster combat and, worst of all, an evident paranoia that players won't appreciate the world Aloy inhabits unless it's put within the context of a laundry list of tasks that have to be completed.
Is this game worth you time and money? GOD, YES. Are you crazy? Honestly speaking, I didn't expect this big of a game with HZD. I knew it was going to be pretty, like all Guerrilla Games are in their own way, but I didn't expect the game to raise the bar with current generation games.
Horizon Zero Dawn is an incredible game. Guerrilla has managed to find a perfect balance between creating an extremely challenging and deep Action RPG whilst still managing to make it accessible to almost any gamer. It’s without doubt the most beautiful game on PlayStation 4, set in a world that’s full of life and intrigue. There’s definitely some minor issues with the game, but at the end of the day, Horizon Zero Dawn reminds me why I love games. I was able to get lost in the world for hours on end, fighting bad-ass machines without a care in the world.
Horizon Zero Dawn isn't without its issues, but it's a thoroughly enjoyable game that belongs in every PS4 owner's library.
Horizon Zero Dawn is the prettiest open world game in gaming history. It offers nothing more than what we have already seen, pulling many ideas from other games in this genre. But it does it incredibly well and if you are a fan of open world games - you will love Horizon right away.

At Horizon Zero Dawn, we waited a long time, eagerly absorbing more graphic materials, served by the creators. Now, after a few dozen hours with the title, we know that it was worth looking for this sandbox RPG.

A journey of pros and cons, but it's one worth taking.
Guerrilla Games took a risk developing a brand new IP that is such a drastic departure from previous titles, and it worked.
All my gripes are just areas for a brand new, spectacular franchise to grow from though. It even feels a bit off talking about them, because Horizon came out so big to begin with. It's odd to think that a team could get away with doing less — probably a lot less — and still earn acclaim.
Horizon Zero Dawn is the gaming equivalent of realizing that sounding too much like the legends—when done well—is just fine.
Horizon: Zero Dawn is a PS4 must-own exclusive. It crafts a wonderful, fully realized and explorable world, and an interesting story that's worth seeing through to the end, if just to find out what Zero Dawn actually means!
When all is said and done, Horizon Zero Dawn far exceeds my expectations and is on course to be one of the best titles the gaming community has seen in a long time.
Horizon: Zero Dawn is a game that you owe yourself to experience.
