Horizon Zero Dawn reviews

I'm pretty sure if you look up "perfect game" there's just a picture of this game's cover art. I genuinely can't say enough good things
A beautiful game. There is nothing more to say. I can't wait for the next. 9/10
Great game. Farcry fans may find similarity and underrate it just because they bored of towers and craft system. Pretty good story. I cant stand melee combat system, but it's good with other weapons. Huge variation of weapons and ways to kill things. I recommend playing on highest difficulty.

pros: awesome visuals (landscapes, characters), lots of content | cons: weak main story, easy even on hard
Best game that I've ever played. It is the same entertainment level with GTA V and Batman Arkham City for me. Story, graphics, characters... All good. After I finished it, I played Frozen Wilds DLC and it was like a whole new game. A big extension. Fully recommended!

HZD is casual like a GAP pullover with it's simple exercises like running, jumping and archery. It looks great, speaking about graphics, but from the point of the story it's naked like a skeleton corpse. I could almost telepathically see the past when some bosses cut the budget for the story. 

Oh, man, and the skill tree is so boring. Why actually I could not attack a creature jumping from above? I did it in many games before. More-loot-from-dinosaurs skill to make some more trash devices to hunt dinosaurs? Or maybe you are dreaming about super skill of grabbing a loot from corpses, sitting in a saddle of robohorse? Thanks a lot, that will be soooo helpful.

I mean, HZD is not so bad if you want some relaxed gaming and no so common setting. But tempted gamers will skip Horizon for sure.

Definitely overrated game. I was really bored by plot and gameplay, but god... those dialogues were increadibly bad. I will only add that amount of monsters was really disappointing too, making new monsters by renaming older ones and giving them additional weapon. Last boss fight was boring, easy, a little bugged and totally too much simple. The only thing that I enjoyed in this game was landscape.

My GOTY, 2017, and only Platinum trophy to date. Stunning game, especially in 4K with HDR on PS4 Pro.

The DLC is amazing, the environment is stunning as always. My overall rate is absolutely recommend, but I’d like to cite some drawbacks.
First, I didn’t like the new ambush-style quests, there are just too many machines you have to kill.
Second, Frostclaw and Fireclaw. While the first can be fun, the latter is overpowered even for a high-level character and weapons a fight can take up to half an hour, and this is very tiresome. Also there’s AI cheating, both Claws can do a ground attack with a auto-target and large range. I once hid behind some rocks and then BOOM! I’m dead. So there’s you can run, but you can’t hide strategy.
Despite these flaws it’s still a great DLC, and if you like the original game, you should definitely buy this one.

THIS GAME IS SO GOOD. I SPENT 51 HOURS IN 3 DAYS BEATING THIS GAME.

First game beaten on platinum trophy.
I haven't actually finished this game yet but, I"ve played enough to be able to talk about it so here it is:

This is an action based game with an intriguing story and magnificant graphics. Because this is an open world game where you have plenty of space and sidequests to complete you'll find multiple machines which are actually the animals of this world. They aren't friendly so you'll either have speed through them, stealth around them or if you really want to and have the ability to: overridethem for a certain period of time 9 make them your ally). Each machine is unique as they have different abilities and weak spots for you to hit. Every time you get used to these beasts there will be a new one which will challange you yet hypnotise you with their beaty and power.

The game itself looks pretty darn amazing and the action isn't bad either. Mostly you use ranged weapons, like different types of bows and slingshots, but you also have a spear that can either produce a weak or a strong hit. After every mission you will get a skilll point which allows you to either unlock or upgrade yourself and your abilities: run quieter, collect more items from the robotic animals, slow down time when aiming-that's just some of them!

One thing that I didn"t enjoy the most was the story developping (but it could've been me as I like to take time and explore). For me, it was just a little too slow but when I played a couple of the important missions it definetly got much more interesting because you're finally unravelling what happend to humanity and why are they back in the 'stone age' or who and for what reason created the machines?

I would definetly recommend this to everyone and I hope that you or your friends will enjoy this beautiful game with the unique setting in the future!
