Horizon Forbidden West review - a gorgeous sequel that continues to borrow more than it adds

Let's get one thing out of the way first: If you've enjoyed Horizon: Zero Dawn and are already looking forward to the s…

Eurogamer does not recommend. Yikes!!

 

[Necrokiller]

Meaning it has no effect on Metascore. Yikes mofo!

Once more for the new page:

Critically, at least, I'd be surprised if it scores an 85 or higher on the Jim Ryan certified Metacritic.

Horizon Forbidden West's Bold Swagger Comes With Some Stumbles

Aloy heads west to find a new horizon, with new machines to tackle. While it's a great experience overall, it isn't entirely smooth.

None of this makes Horizon Forbidden West a bad game. It’s a great one with a beautiful world, a unique aesthetic, and an intriguing story. I loved my time back in its world enough to want to see more of its tantalizing future. But within the context of 2022, there are areas where Guerrilla Games has to tighten up the experience. The ship sails, but there are small cracks in its facade. It’s running at a full sprint, but you can feel the knees buckling every now and then. That might be less of a problem when you’re running the race alone, but when compared to significant competitors, especially those that have already come before it, you can’t help but notice the stumbles.

Horizon Forbidden West review – robosaurs wrecks

Sony’s first big exclusive of the year is a stunning looking sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn that adds more of everything, including robot dinosaurs.

8/10

Pros: A huge range of things to see and do, with versatile combat options, varied mission design, and even some decent puzzles. Excellent graphics, from both a technical and art design perspective.

Cons: All the individual gameplay elements have been seen before in dozens of other games. Disappointingly dull script and characters. Mediocre AI.

Yiiiikes!!

Horizon Forbidden West Review

Our Horizon Forbidden West Review - for an in-depth, unbiased review of the latest and greatest video games, read on.

www.ausgamers.com

As an action-adventure, an RPG, a narrative, and open-world sandbox, and a way to simply spend time exploring a breathtaking world – it falls short. Engaging at times, thrilling too, but also disjointed, clunky, and unfocused in ways we didn’t expect.

7/10

Horizon Forbidden West review: machine-busting action RPG ramps up the scale for sprawling sequel

Guerrilla Games have turned everything up to 11 for Aloy's return – but is bigger necessarily better?

www.telegraph.co.uk

The example of difficult second album syndrome that most readily came to mind while I wandered these wastelands is the Stone Roses, who spent almost five years trying to outdo their era-defining, genre-defying debut only to emerge with a bloated classic rock retread that effectively ended the band’s career. That’s not to say Horizon Forbidden West is gaming’s ‘Second Coming’ – but it’s not the second coming of gaming either.

6/10

Anmeldelse: Horizon Forbidden West

Horizon Forbidden West er ikke i nærheten av å leve opp til forventningene.

www.gamer.no

Horizon Forbidden West fails to live up to its predecessor in just about every way. While the world and its many new machines are stunning, the experience is bogged down with confusing design choices and variation for the sake of variation - making Aloy's newest adventure one to forget.

6/10

[Necrokiller]

Ironically, both Zero Dawn and Forbidden West are Sony's highest rated open world games.

All their first party studios have yet to make a higher rated open world game

Speaks volume when you have to go back to a remake of a 2005 game.

Couldn't find anything from Sucker Punch or Insomniac? Too bad

 

[CerebralTiger]

Spider-man 2 will be glorious!

Spider-man 2 will be glorious!

Put a number on it. Doooooo it if you're that confident

Yeh cinematic splendooor aur productiooon values hi tou hain jo Lolizon aur Tank of War jaisi games ko achay scores dilwa deti hain

 

[Necrokiller]

So according to CerebralTiger, Insomniac's and Sucker Punch's games lack cinematic splendor and have lower production values?

 

[CerebralTiger]

They offer more than just shallow cinematic splendor

Sucker Punch's games do tend to suffer from some of the same issues that plague Guerrilla's open world games, but not as much.

Looks like Edge won't be giving it a 9 like it did to the original

 

[Necrokiller]

^And just like that, story became important for CerebralTiger

They offer more than just shallow cinematic splendor

In your "humble" opinion that critics disagree with.

 

[CerebralTiger]

Clearly not all of them disagree

 

[Necrokiller]

They do, since CerebralTiger only deals in Metascores

 

[CerebralTiger]

Not where the commooonity is involved, therefore comparisons with Dying Light 2 are irrelevant

 

[Necrokiller]

Too late to parkour your way out of that one, sadly. Since CerebralTiger himself was relying on its score to compare to another single player game from Poland.
