If you have played the first horizon game then this will be even better than that. Tha environment has so much detail plus if you have a PS5 like me you get the ps5 version for free upgrade.

Not as fun as the first but visually great. Story line lacked for me as well and I found it played through too quickly/easily compared to the first

I’ve been an avid Horizon zero dawn fan since 2019. The game picks up well continuing the story of alloy from the first game. I liked how the game included more areas to explore and more quests to finish plus the scenery between each missions is cool and breathtaking.

Great game at an excellent price. Played the 1st game and the 2nd game is another triumph. Sadly the PS4 version doesn't offer the DLC. No big deal, besides that it's an incredible game.

awesome game. was 2022 game of the year for me. it did get a bit political and woke at times. My launch edition was for the steelcase version. PS4 version upgrades to PS5 for free so save some money and just buy the PS4 version.

Super fun game for anyone a fan of open world progressive rpg games. Lots of stats and attributes to upgrade with hours and hours of normal gameplay, aside from all the sidequests and things to do after done with the main story line(which will take you quite a while).

Horizon 2 is awesome!

When Horizon: Forbidden West came out in 2017, the game managed to push the PlayStation 4 to the limits with its graphical prowess and gameplay. The story was also enjoyable, if a bit basic and predictable, but this was a top contender for GOTY. 5 years later, Sony finally delivered a great sequel, arguably matching, if not exceeding, expectations for fans. The game managed to look even more breathtaking than it's predecessor, even on the 11 year old PS4 at this point, but put the disc in the PS5 and you get an almost new visual feast for the eyes. The story continues the adventures of Aloy trying to save Earth's biosphere, but it's the visuals and gameplay that are the real stars here. Combat is as great as ever, with the additions to the DualSense on the PS5 giving extra immersion into combat situations that could only be improved with a VR component, it's that good. Playing on the PS4 (or the PS4 Pro) is also well done,and I'm super glad that Sony was able to make such a great experience on the aging hardware look and play so good, but play it on the PS5 or PC. It's worthy of an upgrade to the next generation, it's that amazing.

This game is absolute peak, though the narrative can drag on at times, the continuous world building, enemies, vast openness, and ingeresting characters with familiar (plus new) friends and foes, this is the perfect sequel to a near perfection series

I don’t have too much to say for this game except that if you loved the first one then you’ll adore this one. Everything that made the first one great is still there but with a handful of new things to keep it interesting.
