If you loved Horizon Zero Dawn, this is the sequel that truly expands everything you thought was already great.

Horizon Forbidden West takes everything that made the first game special and elevates it. The world is absolutely breathtaking vibrant landscapes, detailed settlements, underwater exploration, massive machines roaming freely it all feels alive. Guerrilla truly pushed the boundaries here. Every region feels handcrafted, and simply traveling from one objective to another can turn into an unforgettable experience.

The gameplay was so amazing. Combat feels smoother, deeper, and more strategic. The new weapons, skills, and traversal mechanics add real variety. Fighting machines is as thrilling as ever, but now it feels even more dynamic and rewarding. Exploration is more fluid, side quests are meaningful, and the world invites you to get lost in it.

This game was fabulous. The world, the gameplay everything just clicked for me.

I know for some the story didn’t capture them as it did for me, but for me the story was better this time. We get to know so much more about Aloy her origin, the world, and all the unknown mysteries surrounding the old ones and what’s coming next. It felt more personal and more ambitious. Watching Aloy grow and carry the weight of everything on her shoulders was powerful.

And honestly, even if this game might not be for everyone, if you’ve played Horizon Zero Dawn, you should at least try this one. Just for Aloy.....it’s worth it.

9/10 ⭐

I played only 14 hours so far , but it's enough to give positive review to Forbiden West .
I played Horizon Zero Dawn on my PC , and it was one of those games that made my PS4 worth it of purchase . Forbiden West is worthy succesor .
I read through negative reviews before doing mine , and i can say plenty of those people are one who would give negative reviews to games like Witcher 3 or Skyrim . Most of it is total nonsense based on their personal point of view .
I have RTX 4070 , i7 13700F and 32GB ram - and game works smoothly for me ... Extremly smoothly ...

Lets be Frank

The Combat is nice but the Hit this part do to get Parts is nothing new that fine i dont mind
The Story is weak lets go with his
The main charactere is ... well still what she was in the first one

The fights, the map exploring the collecteables and so on are mostly like the first one what i would say is oke but its not good

Most collecteables are useless time waste quests
The Looting and loot is far to common like there are chest every 10 meters and all you get is more "crap" stuff you got so much the the bagback is full since the first 3 maschienes

The NSC vs NSC Fighting is just weak they dont do any real dmg against each other besides when its scripted

there are far to much new toys climphook, not fire but called firestarter (The Red Cystral crap), climp jump spin backword combos that i will not remember ...

And much other things like you cant climp there only there
and the really annoying Hogwarts Legecy the main char does not stop repating themself all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time and comment everything
the repating is getting really worse like all 2 min Oh XYZ is doing that or that
you move a bit around Oh XYZ is doing that or that
you are doing somehting else come back Oh XYZ is doing that or that

I got it the first time... you can stop now for gods sake...

So no i dont think thats a good game
thats a good timewaster with far to many gimics and toys...
