This is an absolute 10/10 for me. Music, combat, exploration, story, characters, side missions and world are all exceptionally created and meticulously designed to keep you wanting to adventure into every nook and cranny of this world. One of the very best PS5 games you can buy.

One of the best games I’ve ever played in my entire life, been playing nonstop since I purchased it. No problems whatsoever especially since I bought it brand new.

I have played this game and love it. There is an amazing story line and the graphics are some of the best I’ve ever seen in a game. The gameplay is easy to pick up and master with a little practice. I have had such a fun time playing this game. It is the second game of the series and does not disappoint.

It's a fantastic game! More important, it includes all DLC on disc, none of that code filth. This has 2 discs, with all the install data, in an age where EA and Ubisoft has you buying physical games with no install data on disc, this is crucial to a collector's collection. I urge anyone who cares about owning their games, to stand up and say no to games that don't give you all your data on disc!

This is one of the most impressive current generation titles that'll show you what the PS5's capable of. While I preferred Zero Dawn's story more, this is still a game worth playing.

This game is so fun so far!! The story is a little slow to get good, but then it gets sooooo good. The voice acting is killer, and the characters themselves are really compelling and understandable. The skill tree having different types of play style was nice, and the weapon stamina stuff was really cool.

Horizon Forbidden West is a captivating and visually stunning sequel that expands upon the beloved world introduced in Horizon Zero Dawn, delivering an engaging experience filled with thrilling adventures and breathtaking landscapes.
The first thing that strikes you is the game’s visuals. Forbidden West takes full advantage of the PlayStation 5’s capabilities, offering lush environments, intricate details, and realistic character animations. From dense forests and underwater depths to vast deserts and towering ruins, every location feels alive and meticulously crafted.
The gameplay mechanics have been refined and expanded. Protagonist Aloy’s repertoire of weapons and abilities has grown, allowing for more dynamic combat encounters. The addition of new machines and wildlife enhances the sense of exploration and danger lurking in the world.
Exploration is a key highlight of Forbidden West. The open-world design encourages discovery, with hidden secrets, ancient ruins, and side quests waiting to be uncovered. Aloy’s focus ability returns, aiding in tracking and investigating clues as she navigates the diverse landscapes.
Storytelling remains a strong suit of the Horizon series. Forbidden West continues Aloy’s journey, delving deeper into the mysteries of the past and the enigmatic machines that roam the land. The narrative is rich with lore and compelling characters, keeping players invested in Aloy’s quest for answers.
One of the standout features is the immersive audio design. The soundscape enhances the atmosphere, from the rustling of foliage to the roars of mechanical beasts, further drawing players into the world of Horizon.
While the game excels in many areas, occasional technical issues and minor bugs can detract from the experience. However, these are relatively minor and don’t overshadow the game’s overall quality.
In summary, Horizon Forbidden West is a must-play for fans of action-adventure games and anyone seeking a captivating and immersive gaming experience on the PlayStation 5. With its stunning visuals, engaging gameplay, and compelling story, Forbidden West sets a new standard for open-world exploration and storytelling in gaming.

As my title suggests, I'd pre-ordered the Day One Edition back when it came out (which I'll now trade or something), to get this Complete Edition. As soon as I found out the Burning Shores expansion is physically on the disc & not simply a code inside the case, I bought it. Like that. *snaps fingers*
I recommend. Especially to collectors of physical media.
