Horizon Zero Dawn

I hope there is a sequel to this one. I can see it's potential and I know the next horizon game will be better then anything we've played. it's a great game and I hope the next one comes out soon(crazy ending) story at times was flat and some of the things it tried to implement didn't feel quite right. I enjoyed killing machines and the bandit camps but not a fan of the heavy armoured bandits and bandit boss fights, kinda felt a bit to much. I can't help but think there's to many machines(flying ones) I would want to have seen them in the next one and be surprised. All in all great game and it's way better then uncharted 4 but not quite as good as god of war(2018) or last of us.

First off this is coming from someone who has been playing games for 25+ years. This game is absolutely beautiful. I went from start to finish without even knowing how long I was playing and be fore I knew boom I had a platinum trophy. Story is solid, all characters are awesome especially Alloy, controls are exceptional, music and sound is excellent, and fun factor is through the roof. I am actually replaying the game and going through the DLC Frozen Wilds and they added an extra hard difficulty setting which I love for a real challenge. I guarantee if you pick this game up you wont be putting it down.

Before the game even launched we were already hearing rumors about Sony's hope that this would end up being a new fully fledged first party franchise and after finishing it, with 100% of everything you could do in the game, i can definitely see why! The game might not be perfect but the flaws are minor and there's just so much potential and personality in the game that it's hard not to imagine getting more content eventually, so many locations you only hear or read about, so many interesting facts about the past and future left to discover! And what a BEAUTIFUL GAME! Great characters, great combat(melee combat was a bit lacking though), amazingly interesting and smart storytelling... i just can't wait to get more of it.

Greetings from Lithuania,

"Horizon: Zero Dawn" (2017) is hands dawn the best PS4 game from 2017. As everything good has been said about this game many times i will be very short of why i loved it.

Graphics were one of the if not the very best on PS4 right now. Game play, combat was outstanding. Story and storytelling were terrific. - can't remember the last time i was that involved into story - of what did happen with humanity that it lead its way into that new world and the outcome was great.

Overall, there aren't basically any big things that i did not highly enjoyed while playing and beating "Horizon: Zero Dawn". If you own PS4 - this is a must play game.

Pros:

• Good story and protagonist
• Good combat
• Great open world with regional variation
• Fantastic graphics
• Awesome robotic enemies
• A lot to do

Cons:

• Some bland side characters
• RPG elements feel kinda tacked on
• Generic open world structure
• Some repetitive side quests
• Jumping mechanic a little wonky
• Human enemies take too much damage

Verdict: Good game with a mysterious story & likeable protagonist that kept me playing to the end. Good game overall

8 /10.
