Horizon Forbidden West review:

Uerrilla games may have already been successful with Killzone titles for multiple PlayStation platforms, but it was really Horizon Zero Dawn that took the studio to the next level. Action-RPG in 2017 had it all - stunning graphics, a sincere and complex story and invention from every pore. In fact, if it wasn't for the certain A Little Bit of Wild also coming out that year, it would certainly have been sweeping game of the year awards across the board. Now we have a Horizon series, and who knows, the developer might have another chance at ultimate glory. Zero Dawn 2 or Forbidden West as it is officially known has definitely pulled out all the stops as it continues Aloy's adventure. It's bigger, bolder, and on the PlayStation 5 , at least, even more beautiful. Horizon: Forbidden West is a PlayStation of epic proportions and shows why this IP is comfortable sitting on the same table as Swim , The Last of Us , Maryland and God of War . It is really very good.


A great start It's not least because in Aloy, Guerrilla Games has C Level Executive List created one of the most interesting female characters in gaming. After starting as an outcast at the start of the first game and becoming the savior of Meridian, she is now a successful and beloved hero. The sequel reflects this in both story and gameplay mechanics. It starts soon after the end of Zero Dawn. Aloy is looking for a backup copy of the Gaia software protocol that has the potential to restore Earth's ecosystem and prevent another extinction-level event for its inhabitants. However, things don't go to plan and after what appears to be the Hades AI rears its head again, he must follow it to a new area - the Forbidden West. Best PS5 games: amazing PlayStation 5 titles to choose from This allows for new mysteries to be revealed and even more of our leader's past to come to light. We'll hold off on giving you any major plot spoilers because discovery is half the fun, but needless to say, it's as expansive and complex as the first one.



The game world is exactly as it was perceived. For those who don't know, the Horizon games set an interesting premise - after many years of civilization disappearing, humanity has started again with tribes scattered around the landscape, hunting and foraging for food to survive. However, instead of animals living in the wild, machines with animal characteristics work. Some are deadly, some are great, and some can be trained as horses. Aloy is one of the few who is able to fight and even befriend them, not least because she has a "focus" - a Bluetooth headset that gives her information about her past and allows her to learn about everything around him, especially the metal type, independent. Forbidden West expands on this theme and offers more evidence as to what it all means and why the past and present are perhaps closer together than ever before. Oh, and there are a few surprises along the way. This makes for a great story to unfold as you play, but that's not the whole point of the game. It's a massive open world adventure and as such is packed with extras, side missions and collectibles to while away the time.
