Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition Reviews
Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition is still a strong title and undoubtedly an interesting proposition for players who do not own a PlayStation 4 in their homes. Travelling with Aloy provides a lot of fun.

Despite some of my qualms with the production and PC port quality, I highly recommend picking up Horizon: Zero Dawn for the PC. Yes, there is some risk of encountering the issues that others have seen, but fortunately, Steam's generous refund system serves as a comforting protection against wasted money. Overall, it's an easy recommendation for all cohorts of gamers. Players who didn't have a PS4 can experience a well-crafted world with a captivating story to flesh it out, and those who already played it back in 2017 might still enjoy the PC version's improved visuals and frame rate. This is a great way to refresh your memory on Aloy's adventures before the sequel releases in 2021 for PS5.
Horizon Zero Dawn is undoubtedly one of the best games of the eighth generation. Its immersive world design, alongside extensive deep combat system and breathtaking art design, makes it one of the best experiences you could have in a video game. Horizon Zero Dawn PC port has some performance issues, but it is still a must-buy for everyone interested in Action RPG video games.

This is the best version of a great game, it looks better and it performs better than the impressive PS4 release. However, we still think there is a room for improvement.

Playing Horizon Zero Dawn on PlayStation 5 is such an excellent experience that it made me excited for the upcoming Forbidden West and keep in mind; I rarely get excited for upcoming games. If you still haven't played it yet, I wholeheartedly recommend it.
I haven't had so little fun with a game in a long time as with Guerilla Games' Horizon: Zero Dawn – Complete Edition. Actually, the story is perfect for me. The young woman in a future America whose views don't align with her surroundings. Who primarily fights alone, as if she absolutely has to be strong and independent. Who isn't truly part of a community. Who carries the heavy fate of having to save her world. That's exactly my book niche where I get briefly annoyed again and again, but then still have fun. Maybe it's the feeling that everything is meaningless, that it's pointless to support those in need. That hopes are often in vain. It doesn't even feel desirable to save this world. But despite everything, Aloy and I naturally couldn't abandon the world. Not because the world was worth it—that was simply our task. The oversized, empty world also offers too little. Instead, walls are primarily obstacles that lead to even more running paths, although the flat areas already take up too much space. Moreover, exploration is only worthwhile for a look at the map with a marked icon found on it. But above all, Aloy can hardly interact with her environment. She feels like a foreign body not just in the story, but in the world itself, not properly integrated. She can only pick up materials and climb at specific spots. She can't even open doors. However pretty the world and lighting effects are, when trees or snow aren't occupying the screen, being able to merely look at a world massively reduces my enjoyment. However, individual side quests are small highlights in the game. Additionally, there are machine creatures despite everything. They're still somehow cool.

If you can look past the occasional crashes, Horizon Zero Dawn on PC is set to give you way more enjoyment and content than you could possibly imagine.
Horizon Zero Dawn is high-quality, original and, above all, smart sci-fi that will entertain you. If you are an RPG lover in the open world and you like action and tactics - there is not much to think about. And if you own a PlayStation 4, it's practically a necessity. Horizon Zero Dawn is, as they say, an instant classic.

The PC port of Horizon Zero Dawn is not without its flaws, but it remains a great way to experience a fantastic game.

A fun adventure game, paired with an unnecessary Open world that goes through the motions. However new enemies and an excellent story is worth playing through the entire experience.
The experience is far from being characterized as smooth, but despite its issues, it is a game that one should definitely play until the end.

Reveling in its allure, basking in its glory, and indulging in its refinement, Horizon takes a seat among the PC elite, demonstrating that Greatness has been on-hand, for an entire generation. Horizon: Zero Dawn is, and will forever be a masterpiece.
Already a fantastic game got even better with higher frame-rates, that makes its world even more alive.

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition for PC is, at the moment, the definitive edition of this critically acclaimed open world title. The port is worth buying not just for the PC gamers that will experience it for the first time ever.

The Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition is a brilliant port, which has been updated with even more pizazz and unfaltering graphical fidelity than previously possible. Sure, there is only so much you can do with a game originally restrained by seven-year-old hardware, but what Guerrilla Games have managed with this PC port is next to incredible. Apart from the occasional bug that will be ironed out at launch, the only issues possibly marring the experience are the long load times and one or two weird controller mappings. Overall, the game looks phenomenal with some truly substantial PC-only upgrades. The Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition is a port worthy of the price of entry, and is perfect for anyone who has never played the game before or for big fans who wish to play the visually definitive edition of the game.
If the quality of these ports is any indication, we only have to win if they keep coming out as good as Horizon Zero Dawn: The Complete Edition and it’s also a good way of amping even more of the gaming audience up for its recently announced sequel’s release sometime next year.
Overall, Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition is a fantastic re-release and visual elevation of the original 2017 game.
The variety of well-animated machines and the combat system based around targeting different parts of them is incredibly well-executed and the selection of tools and ammo types is nice. The general combat and gameplay go a long way toward making up for the shortcomings of the game elsewhere.
