Temptershell Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition Review
Nov 18, 2025
Horizon Forbidden West is a sequel that truly understands what made Zero Dawn special—and pushes it further. Guerilla Games delivers a stunning open world filled with vibrant life and intricate detail: from lush jungles to desolate deserts and drowned metropolises, every biome feels alive. On PC, the game shines brighter than ever, with ultrawide support, high-end graphical options, and remarkable optimization.
The story picks up with Aloy’s new mission to stop a spreading blight and save a dying planet. Along the way, she faces new machines, warring tribes, and moral dilemmas that test her humanity. It’s an epic narrative, yet grounded in emotion and empathy, told through expressive performances and breathtaking cinematics. The voice acting—especially Ashly Burch as Aloy—is phenomenal, and the soundtrack masterfully blends tribal tones with electronic ambience.
Gameplay has evolved significantly. Combat feels smoother, more strategic, and deeply rewarding. Each encounter demands experimentation with elemental ammo, traps, and weapon types. The new skill trees encourage multiple playstyles—ranged, stealth, or mechanical mastery—and every upgrade feels meaningful. Despite a few technical hiccups and occasional cluttered maps, the experience remains captivating from start to finish.
In Forbidden West, technology and emotion coexist in perfect balance. It’s a visual and narrative triumph, a modern epic that proves why Aloy remains one of gaming’s most compelling heroes.
