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.

Great game but it doesn't appear that Best Buy takes real good care of their products as every game I've received from them in the last several months had the disc loose inside. Not ok.

This is a great game with great graphics. The story is a continuation of the Horizon Zero Dawn. The gameplay is similar to the first with some added and improved features.
