Horizon Zero Dawn Collector's Edition - PlayStation 4

Horizon Zero Dawn is the combination of FarCry 3/4/Primal's mission system, Diablo III's loot mechanics, Uncharted 4's environment scaling, and Halo's repetitive, addictive, heart-pounding firefight sequences that culminate in one of the best collages of gaming in recent memory. Every one of the above elements are so well executed that Horizon Zero Dawn could be measured toe-to-toe against any of the titles it borrows from and potentially beat them in a side-by-side review. Each system has been implemented with such polish and refinement that you forget this game is a brand new IP. If I could sum the visuals and mechanics of this game up in two words, they would be "beyond stunning". The only areas where this game falters, and where my review deviates from the 100s of others on metacritic, is with the story and characters that populate this great island. The acting, when lined up against the look of the NPC characters, is supposed to make you say "Wow" but instead make you say, "boy, they all look so shiny and over polished". Since you have 10,000 conversations with characters in the game you'll also begin to see the both men and women move in the same way and their movements don't entirely correlate to the lines of dialog being spoken. Horizon Zero Dawn's story comes off a bit disjointed making it almost feel like the arc had been written in parts or by several teams. About 5 hours into the game, I just didn't care about anyone (including the main character) and would quickly click through dialog to get to the sweet, sweet missions therein. Thankfully, the REAL stars of the show in Horizon Zero Dawn are the mechanical beasts, the environment, and the combat. Horizon Zero Dawn replaces the Witcher 3's complexity with simplicity which will make this game infinitely more accessible for all PS4 owners. TL;DR: Buy this game for the combat and visuals and you will have a blast (story is entirely optional)

I have to say, I love this game! It's one of the best games I've played in a while. You can see they put a lot of work into this game, and I would gladly give it a 9.5 out of 10. I don't have a single negative thing to say. Plus, the collectors edition was fantastic. The Aloy statue is one of the best collectors edition statues I've ever had, the detail was amazing. On top of that, with the Gamers Club membership, I only paid $95 on the day of release. I couldn't be happier with this game and all the collector extras. If you love open world, 3rd person, missions and quest based, survival adventure games (Uncharted, Tomb Raider, FarCry) then this game is a great choice!

To start, this comes in a massive box. The statue is fantastic. Highly detailed and looks great on my shelf. The steelbook is a perfect accompaniment with a nice shot of Aloy and her bow above a Thunderjaw. As for the game, it plays and looks great. Definitely a GOTY contender. The narrative isn't perfect the way it's told, despite a strong foundation. It's still engaging, nonetheless.

This collectors edition is awesome! A must have for any gamer. The game itself is unbelievable; I'm about 45% through it now and have loved every single moment! The art book that comes with this collector's edition is rather small, but the images are great quality. And the best part is the FIGURE. It's easily the most detailed figure I own. It's absolutely beautiful. I'm super happy with my purchase!!

The Aloy figure is beautifully done with high detail and accuracy. Just look at those freckles! Horizon Zero Dawn (HZD) has strong similarities to Far Cry: Primal (FC:P) but is more refined and robust. If you liked FC:P you will like HZD and vice versa, but HZD has a more engaging story and characters, and better graphics.

Game of the Year! The game looks absolutely Gorgeous! Amazing visuals, the combat is fluid and satifying, great story, huge lore for a new IP and hard to put down. There are many things to do in game and even after completion. Lastly the photo mode is mighty impressive! 10 out of 10!

As a every day gamer this is a must play my friend.. graphics, gameplay,mechanics this game had it all and GG ( Guerilla games) did a fantastic job on their 1st open world video game

I love this game it is something New and Original to the Genre it has good story telling, great graphics, and action as well I highly recommend this if you love video games.
