Bought the PS4 version for my PS5 because you get the free upgrade. Loving this game right now. It continues the excellent story from the first game and improves everything else. Graphics, gameplay, story, everything. This game is definitely gonna be a game of the year contender for sure. Another masterpiece from Playstation.

This was a slam dunk sequel to the first game. Great storyline, beautiful world and challenging enemies. This has a responsive combat style which relies on maneuverability and dodging, but not to the extent that a clunky souls game would provide. This was a ton of fun, would recommend.

I enjoyed the first game in this series: Horizon Zero Dawn. The story and the combat was excellent.
Horizon.Forbidden West is equally good with respect to the story and combat and goes further with an expanded skill sets and weapons. It is a worthy successor to the first game.

What a sequel should be.

Tl;dr - If you enjoyed Horizon Zero Dawn in any capacity, you will be floored by this game. Buy it.
First off, in an age of botched or underwhelming AAA releases, I can’t begin to tell you how refreshing it is to see a big name game that:
works at launch, isn’t trying to milk you for more money, sells exactly what they advertise and has a level of polish you’d expect from a big budget studio. *cough cough* ubi, ea, bethesda *cough*
Now, this game. Forbidden west picks up right at the end of zero dawn (highly recommend playing HZD first) You will get a summary of the events in the first game, as well as a refresher of some returning game mechanics. The intro section/mission is quite long, but trust me, stick with it and what will blossom afterwards will be worth it.
This is the essence of a video game sequel. Take what’s good about the original, add some more layers/depth, throw out some stuff that didn’t work in the original and voila. Exploration, world traversal, melee combat, npc interactions, world activities, enemy diversity, UI… they have all been expanded or improved on substantially over HZD.
Bottom line: if you can’t tell, this is a definite recommend. I am blown away by this game. I would buy this game twice before I played another hour of failed AAA garbage.
Thank you Guerrilla Games, and anyone else involved with this game. Thank you for showing us quality releases can still exist.
